Naawaaohhh this kind long waait . Chaiiii. Dere is God ohhh. Anyway just passing by .

I have a strong feeling that its worth the wait...so, just chill and grab a cold beer

ask4slimjay: I have a strong feeling that its worth the wait...so, just chill and grab a cold beer

Cold beer? So we can all build pot bellies before training school starts? LOL.

Besides, has anyone acquired information about Aso Savings and Loans? What the training is meant to entail, the working environment and conditions, the culture of the other employees, the possible pay, employee benefits? I've surfed and surfed the internet for information, but there aren't really any concrete information about the bank. Either this is a very hushed organization or the employees aren't all that interested in letting out some information about the bank. But either way, it looks curious, doesn't it?

Do you think we should make some calls cause my beer is getting hot

Who can. Better. Interprete Dragnet message, " To receive invitation. Letter on or before 28th/sept. En we are supposed to start training school 8/sept. Was dat an error.

What i think is that, the deadline for replying "accepted"τ̲̅ȍ the email address is tomorow,and maybe invitation letter will start dropping in from tomorow.

You mean 28/08/2014 and not 28/09/2014 ...

I think they meant to type "to receive your invitation letter on or before 28/08/2014," that is 28th August not 28th September, because it doesn't make any sense receiving the invitation letter after the pre-employment training has started. It's definitely a typographical error on Dragnet's part. Aso's pre-employment training begins on the 8th day of September, and now that we've accepted to be invited for the training, we should be expecting letters from them today. I can only hope Dragnet sticks to time.

I didnt notice the date until both of you pointed it out, it should be a typographical error, invitation letter obviously should be before training.. Hopefully from today onwards it should start coming in.

Tundemmy: Good morning. Anyone here who did the MD interview & didn't get the text message? A quick reply please

Didn't u?

Does anyone have tips and info concerning the training school. Also there are a lots of fill in the blanks regarding Aso nothing really on the net. Info about them will be greatly appreciated

Training school? I doubt that. I think Aso is too small an organization to run a school. It seems to me like just an ordinary pre-employment training that would cover only the basics of banking operations. I don't think we're going to learn much. I mean six weeks is to little to learn anything huge. Other banks' training program lasts about three months. Aso's training lasting only six weeks doesn't sound all that, don't you think?

This is just a hunch though, and I'd like to be wrong.

It is understandable that there is an ongoing restructuring process as a result of the union homes acquisition. So i believe certain things about Aso as we know it might change (even though there isn't much we know currently).
Aso savings has been doing quite well for sometime but with the union homes acquisition and the establishment of the NMRC (which received $300m loan from world bank to bolster housing finance in Nigeria), i feel Aso is planning on going a step further in their field of play.
Its going to be a fresh start for Aso, and i only hope the opportunity they provide us will be a god one.
Lets just have faith and watch as things unfold gradually.

Choi, when will the letter start dropping in; i hope it wouldn't be 28th September has dragnet indicated. I just hope nOt. It is well all the best

from the info I have from a staff, training school exists and is in Abuja where HQ is (except they've just changed it)

Tundemmy:

We were informed by Ms. Salma, before the interview with the MD commenced, that training will take place in Lagos. She also gave a brief overview of the process; The pre-employment training lasts for 6 weeks, a two-week break follows. And we resume work by November.

@Craven, Like Seriouslyyyyyy

Anywhere they want. The letters should just come so we can have confirmed details and plan in line with that

Just have to wait and see

Two possibilities.
1. 28/09/2014 is a typo and 08/09/2014 is correct. i.e Training starts 08/09 and letters of invitation will be gotten on or before 08/09- on or before the day training commences. Calender wise, 08/09- 6 weeks of training plus 2 weeks break hits just the right spot with Ms Salma declared resumption date of November 1/3

2. Both dates are correct as stated. i.e while training will start on 08/09, the period for receiving invitations was extended up to 28/09 (beginning of the 4th week of training) to accommodate those who need to tender resignation letters a month earlier in their current work places/or any other reason whatsoever.

Really, the idea of a "Typo" just means limitless interpretations of the dragnet message. e.g 28/09/2014 could actually be 29/09/2014.

P.S_ pt 2 is a long shot, so am sticking with 1.

P.P.S_you can reverse the dates in pt 1. but seeing 28/09 is a Sunday, I highly doubt it.

P.P.P.S_jst throwing ideas out there; please don't quote me.
