Trymeagain: What bank does that please? Because I am sure I have seen banks take high level officers and none of this happened. Lol @ 21months. Even ETs do OTJ. Paramountgift: You don’t need any special training. Once you are confirmed, you can easily move across banks. It is one way bankers grow. They ask for the next level in the new bank they are going to. The strength of your former bank, your position and achievements would also play a role in how they’ll price you. I know for sure that GTB never absorbs Fidelity staff. 1 Like |

GloriousGbola: Had to read this again. Did he tell them he came from GT and what year was this? Something happened between GT and Fidelity few years back and GT stopped absorbing Fidelity staff. Even though Fidelity takes GT staff. |

pocohantas: Naa, This was Fidelity to GT ooo. She was our account officer. Helped us set up our company account. We wound up using fidelity because my own account officer (in stanbic) was wasting time setting up our company account. She left late last year. The person who took over from her no sabi work. Another of our accounts (a second company) has been hanging for months and we have not been able to withdraw, only receive. We had to call her to help sort the issue. Fingers crossed. |

GloriousGbola: I edited that post. I am lost. She was your account officer? As in, your bank account officer left as a CORE STAFF from Fidelity to GTB? I know for sure that GTB doesn’t absorb Fidelity staff. Except your account officer started afresh in GT, deleted Fidelity from her CV, was a contract staff in Fidelity or probably the first Fidelity staff to break that jinx. |

pocohantas: Nope. It is like you said. She is now in a higher position at GT bank. Maybe her game is tight. |

GloriousGbola: Just maybe… Or maybe they have resolved their issues. Then I should go tell me friends that the coast is now clear. |

Dear op, Bank jobs are pretty generic. They're not so specialized. You can study any course to work in a bank and you don't need a post graduate degree. Contrary to popular beliefs, bank jobs are one of the easiest to get on merit (without connections) but a number of factors come into play: 1. Your age: most banks set the entry level age limit between 24 and 27 years 2. Class of degree: 4 out of every 5 banks will require a minimum of 2:1 3. Aptitude Tests: This is what disqualifies most candidates. A lot of graduates know next to nothing about aptitude tests. They could take a number of formats: -GMAT -GRE -SHL -Abstract Reasoning These tests require a lot of practice to build proficiency if you don't have a math background. That's why you find a lot of engineering graduates in banks 4. Information Almost all banks recruit at least once a year and these opportunities are posted on several job sites 5. Assessment Centers This involves group discussions and tasks that usually culminate in a presentation by members of a group. Your presentation skills could stand some improvement In summary, banking may not as attractive as it used to be in the early 2000s, however it can serve as a launch pad into the corporate world. It is also worthy of note that there are other departments in the bank asides operations and marketing. The best time to start preparing for a bank job is while you're in school. Learn about the aptitude tests, get the best grades you can, learn how to write CVs and cover letters, create a profile on LinkedIn, meet bankers or friends that have siblings or relatives that are bankers. PS: Feel free to contact me for materials on the aptitude tests 2 Likes |

MrEja: Hello! It depends on the bank. Different banks have different test formats, but it would most likely be a mix of English, Maths and Quantitative Reasoning. I would advise you to check Nairaland Job & Vacancies. There are threads there on different banks and it would guide you better. 2 Likes |
