Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by kennyo1: 10:58pm On Jul 27, 2008
Thnx guys for ur advice. as for when i wrote the test, i can't really say. i wrote one on the 17th of April. after waiting and not hearing from them. i gate-crashed a second test( that was in june ). i approached one of the officials after the test to let him know my situation. he told me that my script will not be marked since i already wrote one. he added that anything could happen though. so i wouldn't know which of the two ,


Am grateful for ur contributions. what i need now is ur prayer. interview is by 9 am 2mrow. good night nigeria.

love y'all

guy just try to know about the bank that the MD, Chairman, number of the branches and so on. And try as much as possible to have confidence in yourself, be well composed and give straight forward, sinple and direct short answers to every questions. Pls try to get one suit bcoz appearance also carry marks and there is this saying that "First appearance matters a lot". I wish you all the very best.
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by Tofunmmy(m): 11:26am On Jul 28, 2008
It is mandatory you go in suit, cos u will addressed from the way u are dressed.

Try to know about the bank, navigate thru their website.

Be calm, prayerful and i believe my able God shall get you the job.

All the best.

A suit is not a must but at least a smart shirt, trouser, neat shoes and possibly a tie should be fine!

Na ogbonge colomentality dey worry all those Naija banks.

Even for the main the main money joints for world, like New York, Chicago and London, way be say cold dey sef, no be must to wear suit. But come Naija, under better sun wey hot pass Iya Sikira boli, naim dem dey wear suit like no man's business, dey sweat like Bitrus for Cock Crow at Dawn! World pipo! Naija pipo! Una don try!
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by Sholeyb: 9:15am On Aug 10, 2008
I would advise you to inquire of the bank whether it is compulsory to wear a suit. If it is, there are suits made of good quality light material that you can buy. Another trick is to put on the suit at the gate of the branch, leave it unbuttoned until you are called in for your interview, that way you reduce sweating.

Likely questions
1. Why do you want this job?
2. What experience do you have that you believe would be useful for the job
3.If successful how soon can you start
4. Give examples of team working, solving problems, working under pressure, organising and prioritising your work, dealing with difficult clients/ customers or team mates etc
5. what is your weakness and strength
6. What motivates you and how do you describe success
7. What do you know about the company
8. Are you willing to travel
9. Tell us about yourself, any hobbies and why do you think you are the best for the job
10. Do you have any questions ( I will suggest you ask questions relating to the culture, ethos of the company, targets etc) Don't ask about salary and how quickly you will be promoted
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by basilist7(m): 10:08am On Aug 10, 2008
Always stick to suits they are the wiser choice. Appearance and first impression matters alot.
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by janami(f): 12:29pm On Aug 10, 2008
isnt corporate not good enough?
one doesnt have to be in a suit to look corporate or dress corporate and decent.
haba.
These people are just looking for an opportunity to eliminate some candidates
*so i guess one just has to wear a suit so as not to get into the elimination list*
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by magentam(f): 1:01pm On Aug 10, 2008
Please always wear a suit, it is the safest choice.

I think SUIT is very important for Every interview in any part of the world or what do u thinks?
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by comechop(m): 4:00pm On Aug 10, 2008
Simply put, if you want to hav a chance at getting the job, wear a suit.
If you dont, then dont.

Its really not compulsory,
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by sherrylo: 4:10pm On Aug 10, 2008
Really, I don't think its a must for you to wear suit, depends on the weather for the day!you could do with a nice long sleeves shirt and a fine trousers and good shoe.No be the one wen you go wear suit come out for house reach road pull am off dey find where to keep am wen heat don nearly finish you.
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by nakoks(m): 7:44am On Aug 11, 2008
I bow for all u naive guys wey dey say suit is not compulsory.Whether the weather is 2000 degrees,if u r going for a bank interview and u dont have a suit you have lost the job.Please stop sending wrong message to innocent ones out there.During an interview session in Zenith the officials sent someone home to go and get a suit and i had to borrow the guy mine or else he wouldnt have been interviewed.

Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by stormy98(f): 2:05pm On Aug 11, 2008
Wearing a suit for a bank interview is important, whose going to employ you in any bank if you don't care about your appearance or you're dressed casually. If you go to any bank, you'll see that all the employers wear suits, so why wouldn't you wear a suit for the interview?
Re: Bank Interview: Is Suit A Must? by realcele: 4:15pm On Aug 11, 2008
You need to ask about their dress code but suit is the preffered for most business meet and to be honest how you present yourself to the company boost your chances of getting employed even having passed all the rigorous testing and tech bit. The person interviewing you have to have a sense of likening for you. Go for the general pool and always wear suit except if it is against your belief or religion
