You want serious advice then I'm telling you you are wasting your time doing this kind of low paying contract job. What relevant experience are you going to get in a blue collar banking job?

Even part time private uni grads and non-finance grads from local uni are posting offers between $2.2 - $3k from non-banks, so there must be fundamentally something wrong with your CV or in the way you are selling yourself to interviewers.

I suggest you explore non-bank executive jobs outside and get someone to advise you on where your presentation went wrong. A major in B&F that cannot get any offer except a $1.8k contract position for diploma holders is clear indication something is screwing up. The economy may not be booming now, but it ain't depression level yet.

I just want to share about my current situation with all readers. I have been searching for a banking job/finance job since last year July. I went for 20 interviews in total and none of them accepted me. I have a UOL Banking and finance degree and have experience working in the bank before.

Yes, there are jobs being created, but it is too pathetically few for hundreds of graduates who are still waiting for the economy to get better.

I have had experience in the bank and also have connections to some senior people. Even so, there is no head count for me. Or, one vacancy 40 people are going for that interview.. So, sometimes i think whether my parents paid for my cert is worth it?

Perhapes you are asking for a relatively high salary? Is banking industry doing well now?

I am a local uni grad and it is very hard to find a bank job in 2012/2013. My friends actually tried for 4 to 5 months before giving up and settling for a lesser paid job. Your situation is exactly what we are experiencing. If local uni grads are having a hard time, you guys must be worst off.

There are a lot of idiotic people here unaware of current market conditions and sprouting nonsense. The banks are freezing headcount left right and center. People in the industry are fully aware of that, and instead of job hopping for higher pay in the good old days, they all ham chee stay in their current jobs. This means that there are no vacancies at all. When 1 vacancy opens, as you had mentioned, there are lot of people applying for it.

It had reached the point that local uni grad with 2nd upper + banking internship + CFA level 1 + exco of uni investment club went for 20 interviews and only got offered a 2.9k job with a ****ed up bank after 4 months of job search.

Marketing jobs are paying 2.6 - 2.8 now.

Logistics and supply chain paying 2.4 - 2.6 now.

Accountancy big 4 paying 2.7 - 2.8 now. I am aware than mid tier pays much lesser, but none of local uni students i know go below big 4 so i cannot tell u how much they pay. 2.3 - 2.4 is a guess.

Retards here please stop using IB pay examples because they do not apply to normal people. Sure, I got a friend in an IB, but you know what he got? He got a summa cum laude (GPA >3.8 out of 4), double degree in economics and business, CFA level 2, IB internship, hedge fund internship, president of investment club.

The rest of us are just ****ed.

How much does your IB friend make? Is she pretty?

Just to share. I'm a UOL Biz student with 3rd class (still waiting for graduation in apr 2013). Got a job as a marketing exec with starting pay 2.5k. Nothing fantastic but it's a start. Took me awhile to find it. Since Aug when result came out, I started working temp job at stat board while searching for perm job..

Realize newspaper is better than jobstreet and other site..everyone is lazy and just spam apply online. newspaper email in CV the hit rate seems higher..

Reminds me of 2009 when they had to introduce the MAS program to help fresh banking grads land jobs.

I've heard horror stories for fresh grads but for those with 2-3 years experience there are still plenty of banking jobs around.
