"Hello there!

My name is Apple and I’m responsible for the Graduate Programme Recruitment in DBS Bank.

It’s been a long wait, so first of all, we would like to congratulate you for completing and progressing through to this stage. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, it’s unfortunate that we will not be holding our long-awaited SME JAM assessment. As such, we will be skipping that SME JAM stage and proceed you to Panel Interview right away.

The 45-minutes Panel interview will be held on Friday, 28th Feb 2020. As it is a full day session, we would like to know if you would prefer a AM or PM session so that we can facilitate the your timeslot (to our best effort)! It will be a virtual panel interview session where you can meet our interviewers at the comfort of your home/school, though you will still need to be properly dressed. Do ensure that you have your laptop (that comes with a webcam) otherwise, you can also use your mobile phone and do have a tripod or sort to hold it for you.

Once your timeslot is confirmed, we will be sending you an email consisting of the link to the virtual interview.

Look forward to hearing from you on your preferred timeslot."


anyone else got this?
