I sent my resume and cover letter to CIMB about a week ago but I haven't heard from them yet. So I guess there is no chances anymore?  sad.gif

When will they call you for interview depends on how many applicantions they get. If there are backlogs, then it only makes sense that they will only consider you application later. It also depends on how did you apply. Did you pass your CV to the person in the career fair, through some agencies, through mail, or online. If it is some other HR person, they might take their own sweet time before passing things around, or the interviewer might consider some sources of CV first.

Also, if you're not the cream de la cream and/or do not have a glowing CV, they might KIV you. This means that if some of their primary choices are not performing/did not turn up for interviews, only then will they consider you.

What I'm saying it, too many factors to consider. Just enjoy your life and wait for their reply. If they haven't get back to you in 3 months (may be 2 if you're impatient), then you can give them a call.

I went for the first stage of interview yesterday morning.

I had to write an essay given 5 topics to choose. I believe these essays are to test your writing skills as well as your general knowledge. I chose a topic on Climate Change.

Then there was a lady who did not introduce herself and never smiled, ask me more questions during the interview.

Questions like ,

1) Whose your favorite public figure ?
2) If you are to expand CIMB, where and why ?
3) What is Islamic Banking ?
4) Who is the CEO of CIMB ?
5) What extracurricular activities in uni did you do ?
6) Tell me about yourself.

The interview did not last more than 15 minutes.

The whole recruiting process for an application will be about 1 month.


Seems like the next intensive classroom class is starting in January, and also March.

1 month? No way. It has been stated earlier in this thread that the entire recruiting process (starting from the first interview) would be around 2 months normally, usually a bit longer.
