8th ICMGTS intake

Assalamualaikum..

Mixed feelings when I got this news. I'm happy but all sorts of things in mind. I had to take off two interviews, from Hong Leong MSIG Takaful and from Petronas. And another, I had to forget about the opportunity to work at the HSBC as the answer will be taking a 2 week period. HR staff called me to say stay one more stage for approval. I did not dare to pursue something that is not identified and there is no black and putih.Tetapi not why, after a discussion with his father, finally, I decided to join ICMGTS. Alhamdulillah..

My life may not be going the way I planned, but, its going exactly the way Allah has planned. Indeed, Allah is a better planner, the guide. So, just keep praying.  "Mendengar guruh dilangit jangan air di tempayan dicurah..wise decision needed..Rezekikan rahsia Allah? InshaAllah, Allah has better plan.. Put trust on Him.. :) Moga setiap langkah kita dan keputusan kita diredhai dan dipermudah.. Amin.."

Interview at HSBC Electronic Data Processing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.

Assalamualaikum..

Alhamdulillah, already completed interview with HSBC Electronic Data Processing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd  at Cyberjaya. Feel very relieved, despite the earlier nervousness out of control. Interview starts right at 2:00 pm. This interview is to position "Global Support Executive-Global Banking and Markets". This interview got a couple of levels.

Stage 1: Telephone interview.

Thanks HSBC for calling me a few times because I keep getting missed calls. huhu.. My telephone interview occurs, when I came to make a clearance in my beloved IIUM. But I try to do as good as possible even in the panic. All questions asked, I tried to give the best answer. After completion of the interview, the interviewer said, if I managed this interview, that I can go to the next level.

Stage 2: Grammar Test

Alhamdulillah, I made ​​it through the first stage. When I arrived there, a little explanation provided. Today, I will undergo 3 stages. But, prior to the next stage, I have to pass English Test. English Test  are quite tough and given very little time. There are 3 section along this English Test.

a) Errors in grammar. Select the right one. Each question is given only 30 seconds.
b) Vocabulary. Fill in the blanks. within 5 minutes.
c) Listening. I need to select the appropriate answer.

At first I thought I failed, because if fails, I need to go home immediately without continuing the next stage. And, Alhamdulillah. I made ​​it to the next stage.

Stage 3: Human Resource Screening

When my name is called, continues to dominate how nervous I am. HR staff ask all the necessary documents and forms. I tried very hard to hide the nervousness in my heart. huhu.. Every question be asked by the HR staff, I try to respond as good as possible and convincing. Quite a long time, and finally finished and she asked me to wait until the final stage. Alhamdulillah.

Stage 4: Management Interview

Finally, batch interview at 2.00pm, to the final interview, just stay 4 candidates. Alhamdulillah. Did not expect I made ​​it to the end and I was the only female left. :) And I'm also happy because I've got IIUM friend, Syahmi between the four of us. When my name is called, two interviewer was ready for my interview.  I feel it takes a very long time, and the various questions posed to me and various explanations are provided.. I try to give all my best, and try to understand everything that is explained by them. Exactly 5.10 pm, I can go home and I am very relieved. At least, I have tried my best. Now, I can only pray and tawakal. Thanks to my father and my Mr. Z because sent and fetched me. :')

Today, ICMGTS assessment results will be announced. I do not want to put high expectations, but I will continue to pray and tawakal. Other than that, I have to be ready for the next interview session for position "Executive, Credit Control" in Hong Leong MSIG Takaful in Petaling Jaya, next Wednesday.

May Allah ease everything. Amin.

Assessments Session: Islamic Capital Market and Graduate Training Scheme (ICMGTS)

Assalamualaikum...

This is the first official interview in the history of my life. Although the interview was conducted in different ways, I like to find it done. It used the assessment as a way to find trainees for their program.

Due to some other commitments, ayah can't send me. I had to drive by myself to the Securities Commission, at Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. Alhamdulillah, with the help from mak su, I can get there early. assessments session started at 9 and I managed to arrive at 8.15 .. :)

After only register in the main lobby, I got the access pass. yeah, I'm agent 007 .. hehe .. after that, I went to the Hall 3 and register for the attendance. I placed in group 1, probably because the name started with the letter A. huhu.. There are 3 students from IIUM, so, not feeling very alone. :)

 Various tasks we had to accomplish during the assessments session:

1) Written Test: We need to select 1 topic from 3 topics provided and must be completed within 20 minutes, no more than 300 words.

2) Listening Test: Based on the video shown, we need to answer a short quiz based on the video.

3) Group Discussion: We were shown another video. Then given 20 minutes to make the discussion in the group. After that, 5 minutes to present individually.

4) Sell yourself  : Sound like something else, right? haha .. we were given just 3 minutes to promote ourselves  to convince evaluators, why we are eligible to participate in this program.

Precisely at 11.30, we're done. Alhamdulillah. We have to wait until the end of this month. If there is no response from the email, we need to understand that we were not selected. I've done the best, and now, only managed trusts and continue to pray to Allah. Hopefully everything is simplified. Now, I need to ready for OCBC video interview tomorrow. Best wishes to those who attended the 8th Batch of ICMGTS assessments sessions. :)

We only plan, Allah determines everything :)

Assalamulaikum...

Be too late to talk about examination results were out on 30th January 2013. but, I still want to say about that. Alhamdulillah .. Finally, I have Graduated. Already completed 128 credit hours .. :) Deepest gratitude to Allah S.W.T. and trillion thank you to Ayah, Mama, family, lecturers, friends and anyone who has helped directly or indirectly. Only Allah is able to Give back to you all. : ')

Despite not getting examination results as expected, but I'm very grateful for still get consistent results. The good news is that my dad say "I am proud of you". : ') If arwah umi still alive.. I'm sure you will be happy too umi.... :')

Ayah and Mama offers graduation gift and I can choose what I want. Thank you Ayah and Mama. : D

Now, I have finished the British Council. But still became an assistant teacher at Kumon. Now, I have to plan my future. Yes, I need to find a permanent job. But, deep in my heart, I want to continue my studies in master. I have put a target. I want to do masters abroad to look for a different atmosphere. I already have a choice of course and university, and Insha Allah, I will sit for IELTS exam in March if no unforeseen circumstances. I will send university application and apply for scholarships. Hopefully everything is simplified.

But I do not forget to apply for the job. Unfortunately, most of my applications to the "Graduate Training Scheme". The reason is that may be I still not be ready to work because in my heart still want to study more. 

Alhamdulillah, next week there will be two interviews:

1) OCBC: Deep Reach Programme

2) SIDC: Islamic Capital Market Graduate Training Scheme (ICMGTS)

I will endeavor to provide the best as possible. I'm trying to plan what is best for me, but I believe that God has a better plan.

May Allah make easy for all of my business, keep my heart from the things that are not good, given things a lot and get a great success in life. Amen.
