yeah sklyte...it's kinda hard for fresh graduates to hunt for jobs at this time...more freshies will be coming out soon too...*sweat...

can i know normally it takes how long to know that you are selected for the next interview, i went to the interview last wednesday and until now, still no news yet..

fizzy u failed too?haha..mentally tiring looking for a job

Sure lah .

how you all apply and to who and how you respond to non replies is very important.

do it wrong and the personal toll can be great .

High morale = confidence = better performance IN SUCCESS AND FAILURE [ 2nd one is more important] = bigger chance of winning .

Lack of knowledge / guidance = low confidence = bad performance = low chance of winning = repeat , repeat , repeat .

Psychology is most vital in success in all walks of life .

75% of success is in personal psychology .

Nothing I said is " negative " so Please chose your words with care .

The forum is public , if you don't want views from the public then post them in private.

lol...txi is trying to convince ppl to pay him for "easy access" into investment banking , u can read his blog for more info...anyone so far pay him yet?haha..anyway i have failed cimb because lack of confidence...sux

Just want to share my info...

I had my interview for The CIMB Complete Banker Programme yesterday..
and the person who was interviewing me was the Director of Group Corporate Resources, Puan Hamidah herself..
I did read about the stages here before attending the interview, that we need to pass the previous stage before we can proceed to another stage of the recruitment process. but maybe it is just random, who will be interviewing you.. so just be prepared.

and this is my experience that I can share with you guys

while you wait for your turn, you need to fill up your application form and 2 essays needed to be done

1st part essay : Choose between 2 subjects - Not more than 150 words
1. Describe yourself
or
2. What movie/books have you read or watched recently?. Applied the movie/books that you read to your life now.

2nd part essay : Choose between 2 subjects- Not more than 150 words
2. What have you learn from your previous high school/ university experience?
or
2. What do you want your future boss to have in himself/herself?

and, if your not from any finance background. her killer question is, why do you choose to enter banking rather than staying with your current degree career?. the other is just normal questions from her, she just want to see how you communicate and how confidence are you.

and I did take the opportunity to ask her some question myself
-the newest intake for this programme is September (9) this year
-she is looking for someone who is confidence/know how to communicate/good with numbers/suitable to work in banking environment, regardless of the diploma/degree that you have.
-after the interview you will have your results in a week

My My , how bitter and angry some people become after they have been rejected .

I gave a free but honest consultation however some did not like what I said : that big improvements were needed before they stand a chance of getting in , what a sad case.

Too many freshers are too ' lansi ' , haven't even set 1 toe inside and some think the banks OWE them a place inside .

They OWE you nothing [ unless you are the PM's son ] .Anyone has that misconception then get it through the thick skull . For everyone with the same qualification they got 20+ with better suited personalities , dime a dozen , nothing special.

This exactly the kind of personality they are WEEDING out

You got to be joking , no actually this is a joke .

Tell you guys for free , with this kind of personality and attitude - good luck to you cause you'll need it . Most prolly end up in Bank Buruh's Rompin dept.

Lack of knowledge + bad attitude = low confidence = bad performance = low chance of winning = repeat , repeat , repeat .

And yes people have signed up and I am sure they will do well but certain people I would reject just like what CIMB did - I agree with them .

nicely said.

CIMB offers staff 6-month unpaid leave



sos

Nope! I've been into one of the promotion program with CIMB. Regardless of the financial outstanding of the Group, the Complete Bankers program will continue. This is Dato' Nazir own words....

...but I'm not one of them.

i heard that cimb offers good bonuses..
i wish i could join them
but sadly,
i studied automotive
and im not a well-educate person

hi guys.. just wondering is anyone has any idea if they'll be paying you during the first two months of training? thanks in advance...

Hi there,

I'll be heading for the interview on Thursday. Any tips??

hi,

like what paeng86 has said, the first round interview is pretty much like that....my interview was conducted by 2 HR personnel the other day....
if u pass the 1st round, there will be a IQ assessment test conducted by an independent consulting firm.
if u pass the 2rd round, there will be a presentation that u hv to prepare about 2days prior to the interview day. the 3rd round will be conducted by some department heads, i guess....
that's what i hv gone thru so far....so still waiting for them...
oh yeah, there are quite efficient when it comes to informing u about the results, basically u will know within a week.
it seems to me that they are very very selective in recruiting fresh grads for the banker program....so yeah, just give it a try...

Some people are just that darn lazy.

I am a candidate for this programme as well and will be attending my first round of interview later on today.
I find that the information posted in the thread to be useful in preparing myself for the first ever interview session of my life.

Wish me luck.

Anyone already inside this program?... need more info about it since gonna make a career choice for myself

hi paeng86,
u hv been recruited? just heard from the briefing that it's gonna be tough with a small group of fresh grads working hard.....
