How many pick up points were u told about? If its just d one, I'm guessing its diff for everyone, perhaps its based on the address on ur cv.

Why do you want to jump the gun? They wouldn't bother to go through all the trouble if they weren't interested in recruiting so there's no need to suggest to them what they already plan to do.

Did you bother to find out what a recruitment open evening is? Did you read where they said:

The team will be available during the session to tell you more about our bank, its culture, the career opportunities available to you and offer advice on how you can become the next generation of leaders in this field

Remember you haven't even applied for a role yet, you don't even know what roles they offer. You're going for a pre-recruitment event so act accordingly.

Dude, do you know what LOL means at all? So much said I wonder why you missed it as a joke. And please don't get ahead of yourself,not all open days end in recruitment, some are just to stimulate your interest and it ends there. I don't know how a simple joke would just give someone a misplaced need to display shallow thoughts.

shegsky: . Where is you pick up point.

Was sent 3 diff options. Ilorin, ife and ibadan. That's why I said if its just the one you got, then its got to be candidate specific.

Well this topic is not for jokes, it would be more beneficial to you to concentrate on preparing for the day than joking around here trying to sound clever.

Thanks for the information!

It will be more beneficial for you to stop addressing people in a condescending tone and quit being grumpy, being jobless doesn't mean you can't be nice and friendly to people. And erm, yeah,nairaland moderator doesn't count as a job.
Whatever you say after this? I forgive your grasp.

JobManagers: Thanks for the information!

Anytime mate, that for ib is UI car park. You might just wanna contact them again to be extra certain for your own case,just to be sure. (I think your email printout stating pickup point admits you), like I said, its always better to verify.
Cheers

Pls is d presentation for students only?

When you get to Bank of America's presentation you'll need to be on your best behavior, even if it means having to pretend. The key to that is practice, practice, practice, so its best to start practicing immediately.

why the rush, this is just a presentation/seminar not an employment offer, though is good to attend because it can be a boost to your Cv
