yeap. so that is basically the drawback of a management trainee. since u are exposed to several business units, u have no excuse to HR when they put u in a business unit that u are not comfortable with.

u MIGHT not even see a pay increment.

it's hard to transfer even for those who had worked for several years, let alone MT.

For the 1st stage interview, try to memorize all the services offered under islamic, investment and commercial banking by CIMB. Focus more on services in the division you want to be in.

One piece of advice to you guys, know your alphabet. Know your numbers at least from 0-50. Memorize the distance between each number or between alphabet.

know how to differentiate statement eg. ali is fatter than joanne, farid is thin, joanne is fatter than farid. Who is fattest. It will rotate in terms of oldest,fatest and thinnest, things like that.

Know how to see patterns and shape. like the letter P being rotated clockwise and anti-clockwise.

-.- u told everything LOL except presentation AHAHAHA

It is to you and everyone who feels it applies to them

I heard that CIMB Management is a strong professional company which help company in re-structuring finance or account services. Founder is 'Nazir' which is brother of 'Future Prime Minister' Now we have CIMB Bank. not bad for future advancement. <Personal Sharing>

so latter might can be the Finance Minister in his cabinet

LMAO..haha..hope so

hey, can i ask... any recruitment or vacancy for management trainee at banking line? helping fren.. hehe

duh, this thread is about CIMB management trainee..

i dont think there are bank which are hiring MT right now anyway..

simplez.. u don't need to ask us. you can ask the bank straight. just give HR a call and ask.

and your friend should know better to ask him/herself rather than to ask you to ask. shows your friend's initiative to choose to work in a bank.

ur fren want to get a job have to go out and grab it. ask your friend to take initiative and not be lazy.

even so, ur fren still can submit resume for future considerations.


but citibank froze on headcount.
hsbc also

hv u got te job , ts ?

Is this stage of interview like exam style or verbally by the interviewer?

nope. their 4 level of assessment/processing might take weeks. they did call up me for the aptitude test.

in the meantime, i went for other interviews and finally i accepted an offer from a mnc (belgium) company as biomedical engineer.

but anyway, attending their interview is a good experience. coz CIMB was my 1st formal interview and i was scared shitless. after that, i felt much more comfortable attending other interviews.

biomedical engineer for an MNC? sounds more terror than a normal banker! congratz!

yeap. thx. i think i feel more secure being in my own comfort zone. and in a way i can dream of making a difference to d world kinda of thing.

science field alwiz makes they ppl 'sounds' great. but honestly the starting pay is peanut compare to CIMB investment, no matter long term or short term. that's a fact. The elderly had been telling me this over and over again and i juz happened not to listen. They said i should take finance degree or ACCA instead of science. now i know why.

sorry wrong question ask.
good luck in ur new company
