You mean the interviewer even got sent u a SMS b4 he officially conduct a phone interview with u?

As for me, I got their phone call out of the blue without any preempt during my morning working hours. I also thought I was able to answer all his technical questions pretty well. However, since then no more hearing from them. Lol...

So will u wait for Citi to offer or had you just committed the offer with DB at AI track instead?
He called in the morning to say he will call again in the afternoon lol. Ps I know it's not correct thread, but my citi is for cc. I alr accepted db, since ibf informed me I'm not even on wait list for Citi cc. Strange, because I have some basic cloud certs. Oh well.

Hi j4yp33, things happen for a reason which we do not know and sometimes, like this, we have no control. Good thing is you have db offer. Maybe maybe ... it’s for the better. All the best to your 2 yrs with db. Once the dust settled, we will be entering a new chapter in our careers. Cya at digipen training. #youNeverWalkAlone :)

I'm actually a digipen grad, and another credential from digipen isn't going to "diversify" my cv much. But yeah, see you in class soon

I got a call for the CC track last week, but haven't heard from them since then.
(probably rejected..)
if you were rejected, you should receive an email from them. I got 1 rejection email from DBS for CC.. but i was never interviewed. Probably screened out from the list.

Hi Dalias. I thought u already confirmed AIA's offer for CC Track liao? You mean after your confirmation, DBS still get in touch with you? I couldn't understand the part you mentioned that DBS can still sent u a rejection email even though in the 1st place you didn't even had a single chance to be interviewed by them?

May I ask which were the 1st & 2nd choices you indicated during your CC track application?

Hi Kingdom, yes you are right. i already interviewed and got offered by AIA and accepted in principle probably like 2 weeks back. While i didn't receive any calls from DBS for interview, they sent me an rejection email anyway last friday (not sure why, maybe its part of their process to inform all candidates sent to them). Yes 1st choice, AIA and 2nd was DBS. Hope this is clear..

Hi misokatsu, I applied to the ai track. The interviews were done like 3 weeks ago. Since you mentioned that u just had an interview with DBS only last week, I guess they will probably finalize by end of this week or even next week. Bear in mind that they really have many candidates to interview. Their hr people are working very hard these days.

If the fi is going to give an offer or rejection, it will be done through the ibf. Thus, if u really want any update, you can email IBF. Usually it takes about 2 days for IBF to return email. IBF staff are also very busy during this period.

Wish you all the best and hope the right offer will come soon. Cheers :)

Hi Datageek, thanks so much for the info! Will drop IBF an email. Just curious, did DBS offer you the AI track? How long did it take for them to get back to you?

Attended the Uob cs interview last week via ms teams app. sad to say, i was not his ideal candidate as he wanted someone with deep hands on exp in some IT domains.

teams app? thats weird, my friend said his one was skype conference call (just phone).

anyway, thanks for sharing and that sucks and also kind of defeats the purpose of this program.

Its August already. Time flies. Anyone got any latest good news to share? Or was it like what someone here in the forum shared before that many had actually went ahead to explore other options with NTUC Learning Hub &/or SGUnited Skills Programme instead?

Which track did you interview with FWD? Did you ask TFIP about the progress?

I went for the DA track. The last time I spoke to the HR was 2 weeks ago. They mention they were still interviewing and If I got selected there would be a 2nd interview. Since then, there were no updates. I take it as it is.
