[quote author=Odunharry post=49440530]Boss i get you very well.. I'm new in the system too..
Do u have any close pal at work?? If u do then you have answers to most of ur questions. [/quote
Yea I spoke to a close pal who joined as an ET in 2011 and was promoted to EA in 2013 but has remained an EA since then (3 years now ) which he is unhappy about . But that's just one case and not sure if it's the norm. So will be glad if you can also enquire .

What i will tell u is keep doing ur best and get along with ur superiors..
Try as much as possible to avoid errors / mistake..
Hmm I don't get what you been by errors/mistakes but I meant how many years does it usually take... To the best of my knowledge I'm not sure you got my question...
At my last place of work I realised that promotion was solely at the Discretion of the MD and not based on quality of work output/results to be determined by my supervisor. Consequently members of staff resorted to sycophancy and even going to assist the MD at her home during weekends and following her to her church all to please her and get a promotion . I realised that after a while and resorted to seeking another job which landed me at zenith. Nevertheless it took me over a year to find out the culture and dynamics of the organisation.

That's why I'm asking bout zenith's career prospects and the average length of time it takes an ET to move up to an EA position . That's all

Wait you be sent a Guarantor form...
You either be called to come pick up ur Guarantor form or it will be sent to ur mail. Keep in touch with other people who did medicals with you on same day.

All the best.
Still yet to settle in fully and haven't gotten my chat password . But so far so good no hostility yet as I seem to have been assigned to a great team . From time to time I hear the overdue for promotion talk . Please how Long does it usually take to move from ET to EA ?

i

I actually called the HR number,the person who picked is a guy and he said I will be contacted when I am needed,but I don't think I am totally safe with that quote as the person who conducted the test is a lady and the interview have been scheduled for tomorrow, do u think I should join the others tomorrowhuh
What may have happened is that they tried to contact you but as your number wasn't reachable they got someone else to make up the 4. As advised just wait and see if you'll be called while you learn from the experience . Zenith HR are very much choked up with lots of tight deadlines and all which is why they hardly send emails to applicants but prefer to call the applicant directly .

Good Morning, Please I had the test yesterday at Zenith via people plus, after the test, four of us were asked to wait behind and we were briefed that we would be contacted yesterday,today or before the week runs out, actually I misplaced one of my phone on my way for the test,and had low battery on the other, a friend from the selected four told me he was called yesterday, my phone was off and the other I had not retrieved as at the time, I tried calling them back and wasn't told anything concrete, do u think I will still be contacted or what do u think I should dohuh Pls advice me
Think you should call and specifically ask them quoting your fullname . Also if you've gone through this post you must have read bout the importance of being reachable at all times. It's very important that your phone is reachable at all times during this or any recruitment process .

CareerRe: Employers Stop Frustrating Us!!! Cry Of A Nigerian Youth. by abnot: 9:54pm On Sep 04, 2016
ujuvals:
I really want to scream but ofcourse everyone seems to be in the same situation,who will console the other.The economic situation of Nigeria at the moment is really pitiable.We as the citizens have been holding on and managing,praying it gets better but it only seem to get worse.I am writing because I have come to realize that some sectors are abusing this untold hardship in the country and using it as an avenue to greatly enrich themselves.In as much as we understand that there are no jobs in Nigeria,many unemployed yet qualified graduates are roaming the street,the few ones working now are been taken for granted,used and given peanuts at the end of the day with reason been that the company cannot afford a good pay due to the economic situation.I am trying to understand how this fits in to some people.There are companies that are making massive profits despite this economic recession yet they are still slashing salaries,I can't help but to ask where does the profit realised at the end of the day go to?A typical example is Zenith bank which we read slashed workers salaries,to be realistic if a bank as big as zenith can slash despite its massive profit margin wat will the other small companies that barely make enough pay their staffers.I want to share an experience I had few days ago,I went for an interview and after that,I was called to say I did averagely ok but they would want me to work in a bigger position as the Head of Administration.I was delighted,we talked at length and I was told my work days were Mondays to saturday,with 8-7pm work time for a salary if 25,000naira.I am a graduate,I don't seem to understand why the pay has to be so poor,thereby making the job seem like slavery.I want to give my best,I want to add value,I want to be supportive to this firm but I am not motivated by the pay.I can't be working yet be hungry,worse still as head of admin for 25,000.Please Employers I want to appeal to you all to have a conscience.Its very unfair to want someone to do so much yet get paid with little or nothing.The Economy is bad at the moment which we all know but don't use that as a yardstick to frustrate your workers because we also buy things from the market and function too.I also want to plead with the present Administration to please comeup with ways to help the Nigerian Youths.Many of us are willing to work but no jobs,while we also want to be self employed yet still no capital to start even at the smallest level.To all those Employers of labour still treating their staffers nice,I want to commend you and pray that you won't have any reason to fold up.Thank you.Please pardon any grammatical error,I am open to correction.
We are all victims of the current economic recession however it is always better to set sentiments aside and write facts not fictions as you have done. The zenith bank in question has been subsidising taxes deducted from its staff and decided to discontinue with the subsidisation in response to the present state of the economy. Note that this different from a salary slash and in any case Nigerians will gladly accept a salary slash in times like this as opposed to staff retrenchment.

On the other hand you may renegotiate the offer made to you or reject the offer and apply for another role. Criticising an employer on nairaland may not necessarily add value to your aspirations and desire.

Hi Abnot, did you apply as a fresh graduate or as an experienced one?

I heard Zenith doesn't take any form of graduate trainee but they convert contracts to staff after some years. Most peeps I know were employed by peopleplus.
Hi dear ,I simply uploaded my resume to the bank's career page. Peoplesplus recruits semi-skilled staff for zenith .

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Zenith Bank Interview 2016 by abnot: 7:03pm On Sep 01, 2016
Been a bit busy as I resumed at Zenith bank on Monday. On the average most of my colleagues are nice and welcoming. Made the following observations:
1. Staff turnover is very low. Loads of staff spend many years here. Although they complain a lot about their welfare, overdue promotion and the rest of it but they still stay put and complain.
2. Secondly, one Nigerian factor I'm yet to come to terms with plays out here. I keep getting asked what state I'm from when introduced to a colleague which calls for concern as we Nigerian youths are obviously growing up to identify with our tribesmen and women which threatens national integration and development. NYSC seems to have had limited effect on us.

On the other hand peeps kindly comment on career prospects and other knotty gritty you know about zenith bank full staff, probation , promotion and company culture. Thanks

Akexstinger:
The problem we have with ourselves is failure to research. I see no reason why somebody will spend 6.8 million naira just to get masters and on his return to naija, he becomes hopeless.
Before we do anything, we need to research these countries, their economy and job availability.
Why should I go to UK and do my masters, when the law says on completion you must return back to ur country. Almost all countries in Europe are bullshit apart from Germany, Netherland, switzerland that have good policies favoring foreigners. Apart from that I will always tell people to always focus on Canada and US where you are entitled to Post Graduate work permit after your education and you can look for job and then apply for PR.
The OP is right, employers love to have those with foreign experience in their establishment. The course we study matters a lot too.
I didn't study abroad but was opportune to have worked in one of the biggest companies in the world situated in South-east Asia just for few time.
And since I came back, I have gotten like 4 offers. And i'm seriously looking for money and gathering it bit by bit to to move out of this country.
The pay outside the country is far higher than those working in chevron here. It is something that I have witnessed. Employers in Nigeria always underpay you no matter what.
If you have money to study outside the country, consider US, Canada, Germany, South Korea, China,Netherland, and Japan.
First of all the assumption that people go to seek foreign education with the hope of staying back and working in UK or France is wrong . I had it at the back of my mind that I was only seeking western education and not western work permit . Thus I did not submit a single job application after studying in UK. While I was there the Nigerian economy was booming with crude selling at $100+ p/b with many people I knew living well in Lagos/Abuja , acquiring properties and all. So I was eager to finish and return to Nigeria . So I never regarded a UK or US education as a waste. I got a contract job during NYSC and was granted two hours weekly to go participate in the weekly CDS. Two weeks after NYSC my status was upgraded from a contract role to a fulltime role. Got another fulltime job few months later .

There are no jobs!!!!!!!!!!

I repeat


There are no jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oga loads of people preached same to me when I was leaving UK to come undertake NYSC in 2014 but lies . I've secured two job offers without knowing anybody ( one at a top tech company and another at one of the old generation banks and even waiting on another ). I've also found that my mindset is somewhat different from the average Nigerian graduate. I'm not trying to say many Nigerian graduates aren't at par but the lack of exposure is obvious on how many Nigerian university graduates behave.

as far as I know,zenith don't recruit ET. The best that can happen is that you can be converted fast without reaching the two years. Anyway anything can happen. Maybe if your uncle is an AGM above you can be recruited as ET direct. ET salary is 135k minus upfront and leave bonus.
Hi boss , out of curiosity looked up my offer letter again and there's no mention of 'upfront' ... Also I guess the 135k you mentioned is the monthly take home right ?

Wow Dts nice, I Jst wonder d criteria, becos I think I ve d qualifications for full staff, I doubt if they convert contract staff.
I never even knew bout the contract staff thing . My guess is that peeps applying for highly skilled/specialized roles are usually taken through the full staff recruitment path and have to interview with the md/ceo . By specialized/highly skilled roles I mean roles like forex trader, investment banking analyst, power infrastructure associate, software engineer, database administrator, management consultant, credit analyst, portfolio management associate.......
