what's the point of having this thread then?

if u r so lazy to google,then just read this thread from the first page la

Well I actually meant other tips, since it was so quiet already. Sorry if I actually made you misunderstand. I didnt know that someone who went for the interview so long ago but still havent got a reply will still read this thread. I think it is pretty clear that you did not get into the programme. So mayb you should try applying for other job and give up looking at this thread. But then again, judging from the fact that you have poor general knowledge (according to the HR of CIMB), I am not surprised to get a nasty reply from a possible jealous freak like you.

hey everyone,just got back from the interview.all i can say is i'm pretty sure i flunked it...there are few questions i didn't manage to answer:
-how islamic banking make profits? being a muslim myself,
i have no idea-what is the cause of us economic recession?
she told me that my general knowledge is poor(as i give a damn about all stuffs)-name two banks in us that heve been closed down recently? crap
2 years programme sounds good,bonded sounds ok but have to pay back all salaries if under perform sound nuts! hopefully i fail...then no mood to write essay...however it was a good experience to be interviewed by strict ppl
p/s: got conned by taxi driver too...20 bucks melayang!
Anyway being a lazy person yourself, please do not call other people lazy. Your just a pot calling the kettle black. The few replies that you posted back then shows just how lazy you are.

I think the HR lady was actually being nice to you, I mean for someone who wants to work in a bank that does not even know how islamic banking make profits or the two US banks that recently closed down. Your general knowledge should be rated non-existent instead of poor. Oh btw, we are in a really bad economic recession now, just in case you dont know. And btw, banks are the first industry that stops hiring in a economic recession. So, please please please, think before you talk and stop churning out gibberish like this.

But then again, I guess it is useless telling you this stuff because I reckon that you are probably so ignorant, you dont even know what an economic recession is.

want to banker only...i wonder why so hard
You actually do no need to wonder why its so hard for you, its very simple. But since your general knowledge is so poor (again not according to me but
the HR of CIMB), I will be a nice samaritan and remind you; People that work in banks have at least a decent amount of common sense, general knowledge and are actually HARDWORKING.
It is hard for you because you are a lazy and ignorant person who just sits down wondering why you didnt get a job but dont bother to actually read about the industry that you plan to get into. Dude, if you are looking for short working hours, stop applying for banks. Just work for the government, from what I know, they are still looking for people.

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...
Thanks alot for the info!!
