Sir, I missed the interview and have been sending emails to them for a reschedule but got no reply. Please help me with either a phone number or an alternate means to reach them to discuss the possibility of a reschedule. I put in so much energy to pass that SHL test. Please help a brother in need. Please!

OK. let me see what I can do. send me a mail at luttie06@yahoo.com. just be strong minded.

Medicals wld be a loooong thing.....I heard there's no vacancy ATM so we go wait tire till there's vacancy b4 any1 can be called for Medicals. So make una comot mind oh!!!

I dont think this information is correct. There are vacancies allover, thats why the recruitment exercise was approved and even advertised by management. I have vacancy in my location for asset custodian, and maybe TLCS. Its been there over 2years now. Also, enquiries, PB and BB roles have been upgraded to full-time staff functions. You can imagine the numbers and see for yourself.

I only did test at abj on 18th April and was sent regret mail this evening

You got to keep hope alive.

Iolo:
Thank you soo much. I don't have any banking experience. But I do have in change management. On the JD I noticed they wrote candidate must be willing to work outside official working hours. This scares me.

What are the working conditions under operations? Are there prospects for long term growth?

I have a very good job that gives me long term growth and am happy with it. The only reason I'll leave is if the financial differential is quite substantial and it offers better long term opportunities.

So you'll have to weigh the options when the offer comes. Units like IT, customer care and security work 24hrs so you'll definately find yourself working night shifts. Yes there's prospect of growth along the line and you can switch to other units though its not that easy. Wait for the offer and then make your choice. Hope its the best choice you make. Goodluck.

Iolo:
From the JD I was sent. It's a role under the Head of Operations and then Manager Change Control.

What's working in operations like?

Cange and enabling functions are a collection support roles that deal branch transactions from a centralized location. Account maintenance unit, IT, OPC and the like fall under this group. Some transactions cannot be proccessed at the branch so they are sent to the relevant unit of the enabling functions group. Feel free to as further.

gsleek:
now this is scary.....after medicals?
I don't have any banking experience o ...and I applied for enquiry officer....they sent me invite for personal banker....done two interviews in pH...I'm now invited for another EXCO chat in Lagos, should I ask them to change it back to the enquiry officer or still proceed with the personal banker? cos it wont be funny after medicals dem come start to they give story oo...@18wheeler...wat do u think?

Please proceed with the personal banker. Its not much different from enquiries role.

flowwolf09:
I called the guy doing our recruitment he dint pick and called me back saying I should be patient that they will get back to me.

Wow!! Thats good to hear. Good luck

flowwolf09:
Yea I know but not me. The mail said I will be considered for another vacancy. so medicals is not the case. I have had my closure in my heart and moved on. I wish them well.

Since you're so certain then the message may have been misdirected. Please mail PBBresourcing and find out.

flowwolf09:
Ok. But why the medical examinations.

People still get negative medical reports.

flowwolf09:
@18Wheeler, is it normal to receive a mail (indicated below) after doing Exco Chat and Medical Examinations. Does the mail mean soft rejection, another opportunity, or mistaken identity? Cos it was sent by ResourcingUnit and not PBBResourcing that sends mail for assessments and interviews.

Guys, whats your take on this issue, considering the candidate has done Exco Chat and Medical Examination. Note the candidate know his/her medical history and status and is in the ALL CLEAR.

Dear Candidate,

Thank you for making out time to chat with us with regards to the role in our Personal and Business Banking Unit.

The feedback from the interview is that you are a strong candidate. However, in view of the role in question and the required profile for the potential hire, we would be progressing with a stronger candidate with more years of related experience.

Based on your experience and profile, we will be willing to consider you for other suitable vacancies within the unit. If that is okay by you, we shall retain your details on our database and contact you once we commence the review of the other roles.

Again, thank you for your interest and time.

Kind regards,

Resourcing Unit

Sadly, its a notice of rejection for the role you applied. But you'll be considered for another role when a vacancy is created.
I dont like it that I'm giving you this info. but all the best in your future endeavors.

Iolo:
Anyone for a role in change and enablement?
18wheeler, you promised to get back on this.

So sorry I didnt. Will do today unfailingly. Hope it wont be late. So sorry.

Hi Thadeus, pls whats the cost of a honda accord EX/EX V6 coupe 2003, 2004, 2005 or 2006 modelto be delivered in Jos. Cost should include delivery, commission and authentic custom papers. Thanks.
Your honesty is appreciated.

bigboyo:
Chillout guys, our medical invite will come wen Stanbic IBTC is ready to send them. Dey won't send it just cos we are jittery...Mind U, D invite won't come a day earlier or later, it will come just wen it will come...
Stanbic IBTC here I am...

I like this spirit. Goodluck in your career.

Mintek:
@ 18wheeler.

Your response here could make @flowwolf09 wish he had not asked at all...just waking up daily and hoping to hear from Stanbic sure would be more soothing than knowing it could take as long as 2months to get a call .

The call could come in less than 2 weeks as well. Of what use is telling him 2 weeks and he ends up waiting 2 months. You know he'll feel worse. The bottom line is one will be called no matter how long it takes. I took my first interview August 2012 and got my employment letter February 2013. you can see the time it took. Sometimes I waited over 2 months to take the next stage of the process. It was worth it at the end though.

flowwolf09:
@18Wheeler, whats d time (no of days) between medical examination and getting offer letter? one week, two weeks etc, any ideas or hint.

Could be up to a month. I waited 2 months for mine.

NEEBOY:
@18 wheeler....pls wat cud be delaying my pricing and medicals.......i have done final chat since 24th april...and they collected my payslip advice...

So many factors can cause delay. Its easier to process these things in batches, its also cheaper rather than processing individually. You may be waiting for others to be processed to your stage and then you take the medicals together. I don't think you should be worried at this stage. Calm down, you're there already.

sirnifemi:
Oh my God, I wrote d assessment d same day wit ds guys. 18th aapril @ PH, I didn't get an invite for interview, hope am not being sidelined. Can someone pls tell me wot is going on?
Cc: 18wheeler

not to worry dear. If you passed you'll be called.
Goodluck.

Hello,
I just recieved an email invite for lagos interview( I applied for abuja). Have sent them a mail to change the time(its on thursday) and also d location plus the position. I received an invite for personal banker though I applied for enquiry officer. Wnt to be sure if they would get back to me

The personal banker is a more important position than enquiries. You are being upgraded bro. Take it if you'll listen to my advice. Not tryng to sink you but just my opinion. Its a brighter position. its left fir you to decide. wish u well.

[quote author=dimeji1 post=33605339][/quote]Its a continuous exercise but please know that if you apply for a slot that's already taken you will not be considered. But still take your chance. Its no do-or-die thing. Other opportunities are there to be taken. Good luck.

Valmesk:
@18wheeler,i wrote the aptitutude test for on 18th of April at Portharcourt but still expecting there interview invitation.How long it too long to wait?

Results are still being collated. Though there are various test centers, the recruitment is coordinated from a single point. These guys are really overwhelmed and still will not want to compromise standards cos its a critical issue. Some people are even yet to take the test so please be patient. One thing I'm sure of is that if you pass the test you'll sure be considered for the next stages of the process. Make calls, send emails and all where opportuned. But dont be too worried. If you pass you'll surely be called no matter how long it takes. Wish you the best.

Hiploko:
Pls a staff said Stanbic shl test is VERY TOUGH.. How true is this? I checked shl sample tests online and they seemed easy.. Now I am scared cos I am expecting a test invite

People say its hard because the rate of failure is high.
Its actually nothing to be scared of.

flowwolf09:
18 Wheeler, I got a medical invite.

Oh my...!!! You got the job. So happy for you. Sure it was a worthy ride thru the process. Please encourage others to pull through.
Congratulations!

papirus:
We would need 18Wheller to help here. Notwithstanding, we shall all go and explain our different concerns to them. Lets hope they listen. But the last before this rescheduled invite, they never mentioned anytin abt original cert. How come they suddenly started asking for it?

I love your spirit. Just go there and make your case. Oh! how I wish I was in control of this exercise. I'll need people like you... never giving up. You know what you got and its worthy.
Go there and justify what you've got.Defend it and you may just scale through.

DoubleFaith:
Same here Kadase...applied as Business Banker, wrote on the 18th in Abj. Nothing yet. I guess they have not started calling for the position then. Hope still alive...

Just keep your faith alive... and everyone too.

flowwolf09:
I8 Wheeler, is the EXCO chat the final interview or there is another chat with the ED'S and MD.

Its the final interview. From then you proceed for Medical test and then your employment letter is issued you afterwards.

ude25:
This is not just fair, does it mean that if you don't have connection in nigeria you won't get a job. How could someone that wrote test since ist of April and passed but was put on hold for a whole month, while those that wrote few weeks after have been called for interview, my hope is just fading away, who can I ask? Who could give me a glue why we have been rescheduled indefinitely. Do we still have a chance of been called or have we been forgotten? I just need answers.

Please calm down. so many factors can be responsible for that. the role applied, location, urgency to fill vacancy and many others. Don't just give up yet. I understand what it it you're passing through. I just makes the final testimony more fantastic.
Cheers!

DoubleFaith:
@18wheeler my respect sir. Please just want to know the difference btw Business banking and Personal banking. And also private/commercial banking. God bless you as you clarify.

they are relationship managers for the different units i.e personal banking, business banking and private&commercial banking.

ryd3:
They just sent me an invite for the interview for the role of a personal banker . Thanks a whole lot Bro. @ 18wheeler, u are a self less person.... Thanks for being there. But abeg any gist on d role?

The personal banker is a relationship manager. he is also a sales person but basically manages personal accounts in the branch. he also books personal loans and cross sells other products of the bank like credit cards, etc.
