Firstbank Recruitment: How Many?

Hi Valiante, Is first Bnk recruiting? If they are how can I apply? About How many people, just think you shouldn't be burdered.  Just be de best of You.

Urchmoney, FirstBank just concluded the interview (2nd stage) of its recruitment process yesterday. Let someone give us answers to our questions.

please i need  a promising job. i ma a fresh graduate though am serving in ,right now, Abia state. please if theres any job opportunity please do not hesitate to tell me. thanks.

their policy on recruitment change year after year depending on how much replacements they want and new branches being created, so certainly we shouldnt be holding down to how many were recruited last year, as a measure for what would happen this term. just pray you are taken whether they are taking five or nine or twenty or seven hundred!

i should think the results for the last interviews should be out later this week or at most first week of may.
lets keep posted on this ok, for anything new.
meanwhile, a freind told me he was asked to sign on a sheet after he had his session last week with the panel of interviewers. is there anyone else with a similar experience?
lets know and all the best guys!
cheers

I had mine on the 12th. i was asked to sign on my letter of invitation, i don't think there's anything to it because the guy that entered before me was asked to do the same. Just keep praying.
As regards the pay, my guy just left them and he told me that he was taking 56Grand when he was still with them.

God can do more wonderful things than we can imagine.

Keep believing!!!

Lets see-
Firstly, they always end up recruiting more than the 550-600 that they "officially" recruit. Reason is staff turnover is alarmingly high, too many are quitting each day. You can imagine that 4 months after recruitment last year, they created a fourth batch and offered them employment,after taking the initial 550. For the intakes this was a miracle, several had forgotten that they even did they interview!!!

Secondly,they will probabaly use only 2 training schools like last year; Lagos and Kano learning centres. We have hostel facilities and they are in the very least 5 star. Kwairanga hostel in Kano has just been renovated again, so its like a resort more or less. Theoritical aspect of the training is 21 days with exams each week, 7-7 classes each day. You get the practical hands-on in your branches when you're posted. Make no mistake, if FBN can give nothing else, they will train you to be the best banker, operations wise. Forget the rantings of one cheeky fellow that claims Access has the best training school, it's balderdash. FBN's only challenge is customer-friendly service delivery, and we're seriously working on that presently.

Thirdly,pay, this is touchy,tricky. I don't know about your monthly pay going higher after confirmation. In FBN, it reduces significantly after confirmation, because of deductions and loans you get. In training you'll be told that you earn N1.5 P.A. I can account for the .5M but up till today I can't find the 1m!! I check my payslip every now and then and do the math all over again. But we get alot of bonuses and allowances, quarterly and annually. FBN actually pays you to go on leave, and even give you cab fare!!(Which is quite hefty)

Confirmation is after 12 months now unless if they only did that to annoy us last year, because prior to last year it has been 6 months.
At this stage, forget pay, after all most of us were earning zilch before being employed. In my case FBN multiplied my salary by 10, its a good start. Open your eyes wide and learn fast, don't moan about what GTB,INTER or ACCESS is paying otherwise you'll form a moaning habit too soon. Most of my colleagues have it and it sucks really. There's news making the rounds of an imminent pay rise, so you guys are coming on board at a really good time. Make yourself an asset, not a liability. Deliver service diligently and believe me, you'll be sought after.

Darkly, thanks abunch for the info you've given about 1st bank.  That was quite impressive.  I had my own  interview last tuesday and you have given me a good idea of what to work with when I get there.  God bless you real good.

guy, i actually did the oral interview on easter tuesday. after the interview, i was actually asked to sign on my invitation letter. but somehow i think that i performed poorly but i have handed everything over to God as that was my first interview

Dear Darqly,

Please where u asked to sign on your invitation letter during your own interview?

Much thanks.

Thanks a million times Darqley, you are a really nice fellow.  I had my interview on monday last week and i'm quite hopeful i will make it. As for the signing stuff, i was asked to sign, but i don't think it has anything to do with success or failure.lets just keep our fingers crossed.
