Standard Chartered bank 2012.--International Graduate Programme

Hi peeps,

Sorry for the late reply.

Jogon basically gave the total outline on the format of the ac. Basically during the case study meeting you are been observed by assessors and for the other presentation the same panel observes your presentation skills, the panel interview consists of basic competency questions with the same panel.

I think it was fair, I'm hoping for the best. My advice to all would be remain in interview mode cos as they're asking you questions ur cv is in front of them.

Hope this helps.

Wish me luck.

I would not be disclosing the juiciest bits of the day simply because I feel its unhelpful to you. Going through the day, not fully knowing what to expect, having to respond to what is thrown at you would give you an exhilarating feeling when you're done. A feeling of I came, I saw , I conquered (or not) and it would be great for personal development as well. Who wants to get a job anyway and still harbour some doubt as to whether they fully deserve the job? whether they got it solely on their own merit? Right, enough of my life coaching session.

Structure of the day - 30mins - Read a brief (very brief) case study about the bank and make recommendations for service improvement.
45mins - Review half year statement of the Bank and answer 3 questions about the Bank's performance and future as well as implication for the Business you applied to.
20mins - Team meeting on the first activity.
30mins - 45mins - Presentation on the second activity, immediately followed by Q&A and for some, immediately followed by interview.

All you need to go through is composure and common sense, unfortunately for me, I dont think I showed enough of both. Fingers crossed.

Good luck.

@jogon12, Kudos to you. It takes a true spirit that fears no competition to do what you did. For a newbie, you have a double thumbs up for me. There are several people that had been attending interviews but unlike them, you possess the same conviction as a couple of us do (thanks largely to ighoeve). I pray you succeed.

For all those that went for the ac yesterday, well done and all the best

Hey guys...BIS expired...AC experience was sometin else, am stil trying to recover from the aftermath of that experience. All they have said is basically what we encountered. To add specifics, the group discussion was on recommendations on hw to address customer expectations on accessing the bank's 24/7 service. Discussion was on make strong recommendations, any changes ???? system and processes,potentials enablers and barriers, implementation strategy. The 10mins presentation jus like was said was on half year's report and and following an interview. My interview comprised of avalanche of competenc- based questions. The technical questions askd would be based on ??Where u lead them to and would require spot-on intuition. You get enough time to prepare with an A4 and flip chart. jot down ur points for each stage jus before the session begins.

Any news fellas?...the thread almost got lost. Cheers

Nothing from my end.

Pam which role did u apply for?

Please as anyone who applied for consumer banking been called for AC

@charlybobo, Consumer IGP. U?

Applied for Transaction banking, u mean consumer banking guys havnt bn called for AC @ pamach?

@charlybobo. Honestly, I don't know. That question is better answered by those who have gone for the AC. All WE can do is pray and hope (but also consider other opportunities when they come)

Guys I applied for Nigeria International Graduate Programme Consumer Banking and haven't heard back seen I was successful for the first assessment. Any one with useful information.

dear all

I have received a invitation for a online case study after successfully passed a phone interview last month. they said that online case study is the part of the final stage of the assessment. they also mentioned on their email that the case study will be follwed by presentation and business discussion with Standard charted.

I have applied at IG in bangladesh. I would like to know that after passing the phone interview I supposed to send to local branch to perform the case study rather that doing in online?

have anyone experienced of it before ?

i
yeah, i did my case study online yday, and i think it was alright

@tamanna, the type of the case study that will be given to you will depend on what post you be considered for.

For instance if it customers service, be sure that it may be about addressing an irate customer or suggesting alternative products to the customer e.t.c

If you can just tell us the post you are being considered for, somebody may come up with a helpful suggestion.
