You shouldnt discourage people. I have friends who waited a month at top companies before getting a final decision from the respective companies. And also bear in mind that this is currently CNY week. So Yes 2 weeks may be sufficient but since they have not responded to the aforementioned applicants after the final panel interview, then there is still a chance!
Keep applying for other jobs too instead of resting all hopes on the dbs position. Dont give up! And i wish you all the best! You could also consider contacting them and enquire about the hiring progress (again you may only receive a response after CNY).

There is a difference between discouraging and stating a fact. and there is a fine line between being encouraging and giving false hope. I know how much time these people have to make a decision and it is not a month. And the interview was 3 weeks before the CNY week, and unfortunately we are not in China where we shut down for 2 3 weeks in a row for CNY. They do not respond cause they are pending responses from those chosen, not because a decision have not been made.

I'm a hr staff in DBS, and would like to share that the application processing will take slightly over a month. We have a tremendous amount of applicants this time round.

Hope this will help.

No news is good news.

I got a phone call last week telling me that I have made it to the panel interview. I did the video interview approximately 1.5 months ago! I guess they didn't manage to sign any contracts with the earlier batch of people... Lucky me!

GXFC people!

the GA technology and operation..

what is technology track and operation track?

what each division does?

anyone know?

Wow, it's like what elders would say, "I say one word; you say ten" (I think the other poster replied with don't discourage" perhps should just say, perhaps they were too busy during peak period" - but even so, you do not have to be self-righteous(without knowing better) incidentally there's a reason for it. I don't think your family/friends/colleagues are chatty infront of you right? Coz they say something, you answer them self-righteously. Very discouraging talking to such people. There's some self awareness here for you, bro.

I would just like to take a second and point out how ironic this post is, with all the self righteous talk.

so did anyone sign the contract yet??

i am applying for T&O roles

SME Banking GAP
 

From what I know, the SME Banking GA panel interviews has started last Monday (15th Feb) and will continue onwards to this week. Anyone has went last week and care to share more about the panel interview experiences? I heard there are two interviewers (one credit manager and one RM), with one HR in the panel and most questions asked are very fit and get-to-know-you based.

Will really appreciate if more insider information could be given for the interview process.

So did you receive the offer yet? (I mean verbally from HR or Hiring Manager)

Really want to know about it.
Thanks.

i apply quite late like last week only.

and i just do the video interview ytd :)

nope, still no news yet.

it never state when the application close..

i see some ppl nov apply already and i feb then apply.

it's rolling, they do it every 2 months thereabouts

anyone know does the GAP only have 1 batch of intake per year?

cos i grad at Nov/Dec period.

yup, in july. On exception they do take in people in January, but that is getting rare/not really seen anymore. Just take it as july. Go find something to do in the mean time

Hi

Anyone knows what's going on?

Really???? When did you receive???????I know a friend who no signing same as you!!!!what is going on????!!!!!!

Thanks.

Anyone got contacted for SME Banking GA Program Panel Interview?

Retail banking Gap
 

Hey guys, any news about the retail banking Gap?

may i know when did u receive offer? Is it SME or TechOps?

TechOps of course..
but heard no one received the written offer yet

Their processing is quite slow. Generally dec verbal end feb sign is normal. If they verbal most likely will give it to you.

However, and this is a big however, it is really not worth joining this program. Just go in as a direct hire.

I have no idea. Unlike your case, they didn't get back to me.

Care to share why you are saying that it is really not worth joining?

mine is even more different.. hr told me to wait until April for a maybe possible sign?!
what the heck? I receive verbal in Dec 15..

hi,

i apply for gap recently and saw these posts.

does Dbs has any tradition of rescinding offers?

anyone could verify?

pretty busy with my studies, dun wan get empty verbal in the end

I have analyze and this is what i guess from all the no signing of contract YET.

the application for this year is still open which mean there are ppl still applying..
thus HR still can choose among these ppl.

my guess is have to wait till application close (idk when) then HR will start calling ppl to come down for signing provided you are shortlisted.

afterall the starting period is in july which mean there is still 4-5mth of buffer time.

my small small thought.. :D

&

so u also received verbal offer from them?
when and is is tech&ops?

many thanks

if thats the case, wolao...then dbs shouldnt send out verbal offers and trick those poor grads in the end.

it's like a pretty woman promise she marry u but in end, she marry someone else. funny

Any news from those who applied for consumer banking under GAP?

but it's legal mah,dbs has a history of revoking in the past(dunno exactly which batch but there are i promise)go look for other opportunities.good luck

oh..this is serious..anyone could verify that

great! i just applied. guess i still have chance

I applied for T&O. No verbal offer at all.

My thoughts exactly. I have a friend who just completed the video interview.
