Hi guys, I got the call from the HR dept for management trainee program interview. I asked her if there is any assessment? She said no (just verbal interview) and bring certified original copies of transcripts. I find it abit weird as for other banks such as RHB, CIMB and Maybank, a few stages assessment is required.

Btw, how do they know which dept to put u in depending on interview (where they gauge your interest?) or just put u into some dept desperate for ppl??

Anyone can clarify on this matter?

Thanks guys.

What do u mean it is unexpected? U mean the way they interview the candidates?

U're not from the banking and finance background? I feel more relieved when u told me they are friendly and environment is good. Dont' worry i think u have every chance of being offered employment.

Actually I also dont have a clue what type of questions the interviewer will ask, but I'm qualified in commerce, so maybe pull some tricks out when I need it? I will update once I have completed my interview.

I think patience is the key here and pray! pray!

Today. I will be in for the afternoon session. As you said, just try my best and see what develops. Any advice for me?

Alright. Thanks for the advice.

Guys I just came back from the MT interview. My interview lasted around 35 mins (timed it!) and the HR executives were cool and friendly people.

I applied for trainee credit analyst and my interviewer was so sweet to have agreed with me on many issues. We had a discussion about credit. I really hope that I made it through because they seem to be quite impressed.

Interview was about general questions initially, then moved into credit industry. She even gave me a scenario to work on!

But it was a good experience, regardless of the interview result, I think I had fun and experience. I will just pray for at least 2 weeks to get the offer.

Now I'm as nervous as you were. But, I'll continue to apply somewhere else just in case I'm not given an offer. So when do you think they'll feedback us on the results?

Haha... How you know it's in 2 weeks time? You asked them before you left the interview?

Actually the MT program is a 1 year training program for fresh graduates that wish to embark into the banking industry. As for Public Bank, they will offer sales or non sales positions. Then once u've successfully completed the program, base on your performance, you will be promoted to full fledged officer. More info:

As for the interview, you will be interviewed by HR executives asking general (education,background, etc) questions and some related to the banking industry. So just get an overview of the industry in M'sia before you attend the interview.

Good luck!!

Dont worry, I think when we apply for jobs, surely expect some unsuccessful applications. I'm sure your time will come!! I know the feeling is hard to take, but we just have to take positives from it.

Okay. All the best for all of us!

Unfortunately no! I read many candidates filled up some blue form that almost guarantee employment? But I'm also aware that there were candidates that filled it up (in the end rejected) and those did not fill up any form (got offered).

Confusing?

Well said. Calmness and able to exert maturity and interest in the interview also helps alot.

But sometimes it is normal that you feel nervous for the first few interview sessions, then I think experience will help you be more steady.

So r u working now Gadget Empire?

Good prospects in IBM? I have a friend just joined IBM as junior accounting analyst.

Thanks bro, hopefully all of us get a favourable reply from PB.

Congratulations bro! So far no reply from the HR for me. I was in for the interview on 4th April.

So are you accepting the offer? Or wait for other options? Seriously job hunting is stressful.
