If nervous then practice your sales pitch infront of a mirror.

Btw on other pointers, wear a suit.
The candidate after me wore one as well, ,my 3 interviewers too.

Is it a good idea to wear suit to meet the Exec Director? If possible, I dont want to be overdressed.

Have you gone for the interviews in KNB before?
I don't know what role / dept you're looking at, but just to share, I interviewed for a role within Investments, and I wore my suit to each and every round of the interviews, save for the lunch interview with the outsourced firm. Still brought it along though, since the interview with KNB was after the (free) lunch.

Rule of thumb is that it's better to be over-dressed rather than under-dressed.

Good luck!

Yes ... I've gone to 4 interviews .. (3 with Investment and one with the outsource firm) .. the next one is with Exec Director...
Is that the final interview ?

I'll be wearing suits then ... thanks for the advice ... smile.gif

4 interviews?  in 4 separate days?  Not to mention the rigour of interviews, how did you take leaves to attend them?

Congratz man! your qualification must be awesome to be selected by Khazanah. Just curious how many years of relevant experience you have?

The financial test + 3 separate interviews were done in 1 day .. the interview with outsource firm is on another day (at Starbucks) ...
Indeed, the test was challenging ..

My background is 4 years in private equity / venture capital ..

After meeting up with Ganen, then you'll be receiving a call from HR to discuss / hear about the offer.
If you accept then the next and last formality is to meet the MD in a group setting.

The 1st round consisting of the 2.5hrs financial modelling test + report writing and 3 interviews is the only key round I would think, the rest are definitely a LOT easier.

Good luck with the offer.

Khazanah is NOT GLC lar. GLC means Government Linked Companies. Khazanah is the investment arm of MoF so its not linked to government, it is the gov. So maybe can consider kakitangan kerajaan
*
You can find definition of GLC and GLIC here .... Khazanah is GLIC - government linked investment companies

Anyone here received an interview call after sending them an email?

DO they accept 2nd Upper Class grads?
*
If you're a fresh grad .. then most likely you need to have first class CGPA at least.
But if you're experienced .. the CGPA matter less. Work experience is more important.

Thanks to all of you for the guidance and tips. Just collected my LO yesterday. The meeting with Tan Sri MD together with the Directors was very pleasant.

All the best to all of you.
