Yeah i dont want to wait also, not likei go CIMB guarantee i can become successful also, my friend just kena from the head yesterday lol......

What u mean by just kena? Lol.
What someone in cimb told me is that the position for IB is almost saturated already, and they're surprised that more is coming inside.

Erm.... ok lets just put it this way, CIMB one of the top banks in malaysia, high salary, good opportunity. People want to get in because of these.

But equivalently, if you have the academics but lack the experience you can always work in another firm that provides you with the opportunities.

It depends on what you are after..... the money that comes with the job, or the job that comes with the money.

I would love to work in CIMB too, but they keep delaying and stuff, wasting my time.

just hang on! i know what u're going through...they can be agonizingly slow! i waited for ages...time flew by for me cause i was busy travelling. Nonetheless, 2 things u gotta remember; 1 - the last interview takes ages cause the head of HR is a very busy lady and 2 - if u're through to the last round i'd say u're 95% there and its merely a formality

FYI - I got told the verdict of my 4th round 10 minutes after the interview with her just last week! I start next month

wow, congrats on ur success !
btw, do you mind disclosing a little bit bout ur academic qualification such as which uni did you attend etc?
and how would you rate your command of english? judging from how competitive this program is,
i think you are not those who speak broken english right?

im interested in joining this program,
but i feel that im not on par with the other graduates out there.
anyway, i still have one more year to go b4 i graduate,
hopefully i would be able to improve myself. 

if you're through to the 4th, doesn't mean you'll get it. the 4th is a 50-50 game, very, very subjective. if you've aced the first 3, but if pn. H says no during the final stage, then it will still be a no go.

I'm still waiting for my 4th interview, where is the reply man... The 3 panel of judges say I did pretty well for a fresh grad... Kena con is it...

Very demoralizing indeed, ckwei. Anyway, if you can do well in the first 3, and not with her, there must be sth horribly wrong that happened right? that would be like the worst case scenario. I'm waiting for the 4th, the HR lady say have patience as Pn.H is a very very bz woman. *meditate* still, i want a confirmation...

hahaha yeah I know that exact feeling...and ckwei is right too. You shouldn't consider this a done deal until you do get that confirmation. Pn.H does sign off on all candidates and I have been turned down at that late of the stage before. Having said that, they won't just ignore you for long! They will get back to you with a date....and if you get a confirmation do lemme know! Maybe we'll start together!

Anyone here studying in the UK and thinking of going to the UKEC careers fair in March?

I heard last year those selected get to do interview with Pn Hamidah straight away, does this mean that we'll get to skip the first three stages or what? A senior from my university got an offer last year but she turns it down for PwC...lol

Exactly, I completed my 4th stage of interview in mid december.
But, until now, no response from them.
The HR staffs actually told me I am 80% in.
Till now, no response!!!!!

Anyway, I decided to move on with PwC Singapore-Financial Advisory Services.

Good luck for those who still choose to wait... =)

did they inform you that you're through to the last round? and they didnt ask you when you're free to set the interview date?

either way they should have informed you that you weren't successful!

but if they really told you that you're 80% through and just left it at that...then thats just plain ridiculous and unprofessional.

regardless, good to know it all worked out for you in the end!

did you call up to ask them? Cause i recently just attended the last round and i was told that i got the job there and then but anyways PWC is good too
