Pls has anyone gotten a letter of employment to commence training on the 5th of next month, i understand it will be in two batches, please i want to be sure, so that we're not schemed out after the medical test, cos i know the 1st batch list is out, please i need ur responses , Na Naija we dey o. it's urgent!

Well I did the test also, but my Zone was in Abuja. The site tells me to check back for another list on the 12th of June.
I expect that the bulk of those getting letters now are from SW, NW and NE zone. But most of the workers there tell me medical is just a formality and I'm being "congratulated" already for getting the job.

Where'd you do your test?

hi
Congrats to u guys i did the interview in lagos but did not get the medicals letter,wish u all the best.just keep praying .U NO SAY FOR NAIJA ANYTHING FIT HAPPEN

Well, any "Firstbankers" in da house? Perhaps you could help us out here. And then if you have been invited in this first batch, do let us know.

for the brother that didnt see his name after the interview, check again.i didnt see my name at first.infact they told me they where sorry they couldnt continue to process my application again.but i looked again out of curiousity two days ago and saw it, surprising ehhn,.i did my medicals yersterday.so check it again,you could be favored.(all things are possible to them that believe)

Hi,
I happen to work wih First Bank. I'm aware the first batch of trainees are starting their orientation first week of June and i gather it will be at 3 locations, Lagos, Kano and in the East(not sure which state). The second batch will cmomence as soon as the first batch rounds up. That will be in the first week of July. And for those who did the medical tests, Congratulations cos there isn't any reason why u won't get ur emploment letters

does it mean the just waste money to do medicals without
considering those that are not physically fit
there is no need for medicals then

@ Rosez, thanks for the clarification. I guess we can rest easy now!!

EMMYRAY
well i think thats the eight wonder of the world ,but were u sent a text for notification of medicals.well all the best in your firstbank career
R>>>>>>E<<<<P<<<<L>>>>>>>Y

Rosez,
Thanks so much for the clearification, that means I can rest and wait for the 2nd batch to be released. Pls could you tell how much first bank pays, considering the second phase of this consolidation excercise presently going on in banks.I just want to have an idea. Thanks so much.

bibiwanwo,, my friends saw theirs in their website and told me.i didnt believe it until i saw it too.i cheked the first time and i saw with my own eyes that they could not continue processing with my application.but i found out that some other people had that same problem,given the number of people i saw that day during my own medicals.
for the person asking for how much first bank pays,my friend calculated his and we found out that they pay about 720,000 naira per annum ie about 60 k monthly.hope this helps,
(all things are possible to them that believe)

FirstBank doesn't pay as much as other new generations bank but they have come long way from what they used to offer. Meanwhile, there are so many incentives u won't get anywhere else with less stress too. It depends on what you want really. And i can tell u that u are less likely to be laid off or sacked just like that without having a good hearing. You get alot of training too. Meanwhile, I confirmed that the first batch of trainees should be in training schoolfor just 2 weeks.So the 2ndbatch will be going in sooner.

Tnx a lot Rosez, u are a darling. I appreciate ur responses. All the best.

is the 60k per month the basic salary only or inclusive of everything like housing, transportation etc. Just curious

Favourite,
Dis i say 60k per month? Not sure cos its more than that. The pay also varies as u get what we call Location Allowance which varies. Those in Abuja and Laogs definitely won't recieve what those in Platuea states get. So there is a little variance. Then u don't include ur leave allowance which is over alot anyway. You are entitled to a car loan of over 650k after ur confirmation. The interest rate is as low as 2% payable in 5 years. You, your suppose and four dependants(have to be your kids) are entitled to free medical treatment and I can tell u First Bank uses the best hospitals around

@roesz u be marketer for that first bank the should promote because
you are really doing a great job for them uplifting the image of the company

pls is there any 1st banker in the house. we were to check the web today but up to this moment nothing is there for us. has any one got any news for me pls?

A friend of mine called their office in Abuja. We were told they're working on it as fast as they can and that we would receive SMS's today or tomorrow telling us to check the update on their website.
Let's keep em crossed abi??

Working in the bank? interesting and challenging. I am seriously praying for you Guys. God will do wonders in your life. i have spent over 15 yrs in the industry,and im still waxing stronger. You will be there too.Pls do not abandon this site when you get a job. Remember to assist others with information .

hi friends am really scared that we have not heard from 1st bank as promised by them.today is 13th.i hope the proverbial "june 12th" will not rear its ugly head again.God forbid.pls first bank dont let us wait in vain.i really need this job.thanks

Hello People, I just received an SMS from Firstbank offering me "Employment". Hope all other prospective "Firstbankers" get theirs, or just head on to their website and find out for yourselves.

Luv to all Nairalanders, and em, tonisafe22, will you marry me?? Am employed now!!

hi guys i just recieved an sms today and the site has been update you can check for your offer.all the best

hi guys i did get an sms today, you could check the site now it has been updated but i have a problem i finding the "i accept " botton, good luck

CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN TO Y ' ALL - SUCCESSFUL FIRSTBANKERS &
ALL THE VERY BEST TOO

I am yet to hear from them, checked up their site and saw the same old news that my application is still being processed. Well I'm hoping that another batch will be released soon.
Howbeit, I am wishing everyone of you that have gotten your letters of employment the best of times in your new career.

congrates to all you guys who received the text message yesterday. please make the very best out of the offer. guess you all know how difficult it is getting such offers in niger. pls am still ask to keep checking the site. is there any hope for me. does any one know how many batches there will be and how the selection is done? am begining to loss hope. someone bail me out.

Congratulations. Working in the bank can be interesting and rewarding.Please ensure you register with ICAN or CIBN immidiately. It is one thing to get a good job and it is another thing to excel. Punctuality is a must in the bank,while honesty should be your watchword. Do not be tempted by get rich syndrome. Customers will approach for fraud and other malpractices , your colleagues will also do thesame.Never fall for it ,the results is dangerous
    You will be stressed up at times and intimidated at a point, because some people over there are frustrated on a grade- YOU will soon become their senior because of your qualifications. The best you can do when you get a fresh job is to be thinking of retirement-sound funny?. If you embrace this philosophy you will be able to plan effectively for the future
    Ensure you save and invest wisely
I wish you all best of luck

tonn: i think there is still going to be another batch, i heard from some soure that they arehiring about eight hundred, kano learning center has about 70 trainees at the moment, so it sounds real since there are using just 2 training school kano and lag, so assume another 70 or 80 for kano and maybe 150 or so for lag, if the figure from my source is correct thre is still going to be another batch, moreover a friend in training school at the moment told me one of the tutors said there is going to be alleast 3 batches


funsoo; thanks for the advice we wil appriciate pple like you

Tnx so much Abdulkadir for the info, i really appreciate it.
Jossy girl, do not fret, if you were sent a txt message inviting you for the medical test or you got an email invitation to the medicals, then you need not worry, cos your name would most likely be in the third batch, as I heard.
I went to make enquiries today as to why I was yet to be contacted and I was made to understand that if truely I was invited for the medicals then my name would most likely be included in the third batch but that they do not know when the third batch would be released. I also learnt that the total no of trainees isn't up to 600.
So lets keep our fingers crossed, cos there is definitely a third batch.
