Dear Nairalanders, I am the CEO of More Clicks Nigeria and the owner of http://Nigerianjobs..com . You guys can therefore not estimate my shortlived joy when on the 19th of June I got a text from Access Bank
inviting me for a test in Lagos on the 20th June 2007.
The day of the NLC strike. This is so unfair. A one day notice by Text and on the day of the strike.
Who faced this and what did you guys do.
Subscript: I am at Port Harcourt now and there was no way I could go to lagos in such short notice. So much for a 25 billion naira bank that now is coming to the market for 70 billion more.

so what do you think you can do about it

This is so bad by Access Bank. They need to reorganise their HR department. Let them learn from the likes of Zenith Bank. OoH

Angela255 pls u don't need to worry ok, it happened to me also. I was invited for an interview by the same Access bank on 20th, do u know what pained me? The text came in very late on 19th around 7.30pm so i was a kind of "this guys might be in office". So i took off, spent huge amount of money on transport alone, i was beaten by the rain, guess what? The receptionist called the guy that sent me the text and he ask me to wait in the visitors section only for a lady to come after some hours to tell me the interview would not hold cos of the strike and that they will re-invite us. anyway shaa wetin we go do? we are still waiting, but i think they should work on their HR dept[color=#990000][/color]

My experience and hurt pails in comparism with yours. Access Bank have to do much better, going this way how then can they get the best of staff that they require for the bank.
If they invite me on a one day notice I am not going.
