Linguisit seeking job in bank?

2011-01-20 11:55 pm

Hi. I am a Lingusitic fresh grad from an university in Vancouver with the GPA of 3.2. I am interested in working at one of the banks in HK (HSBC, Citibank etc)since it seems like I will have a better development on my career path in the future. I realize those banks have the managment programmes for fresh grad and I am really interested in those programmes, but they seem very competitive and strict to get in. Since I am not commerce or economic major, do you guys think I would have a slight chance in seizing the managment programme position in banks? any tips or experience? Thanks a lot!

hi, I'm also fresh grad this year.

I'm not much better thanyou..I have started seeking job 1.5 month ago, sent out nearly 100letters, with about 10 interviews got, only 10% succeed rate...so poor.

I agree with some of them, as what I have learnt through in this 1.5 month, you have to review the following:

1/ Your cover letter and resume : is it too long? relevant to the position? can sell yourself? any grammatical mistakes?

2/Too high expected salary : for sales or MT, i think 10k is ok, formarketing, most company juz give 8-9k for no experienced candidates

3/ Job nature : is it relevant to your major?

4/Timing : I suggest you apply the job which juz posted out a few day,otherwise, it will lower your interview chance that they'd alreadyreceived many CV so they won't consider yours or even they'd alreadyhired someone.

Hope it helps!

Bless you!
