Well I also don't know. I don't think it's for the guys who just did A.C. tho. I guess its for the first set of AC last year. But then I don't know for sure, it's what the representative told me.

Divami:
I don't understand the "no batch after this" part. What about the people that just had their assessment?

So FBN called me last night and asked if I can resume TS today or tomorrow. A day's notice? Who does that.
I asked to be moved to the next batch, but I was told there might be no other batch after this.

My company requires a 3 months' notice to properly resign, at best - a month. Asking me to resign overnight and resume with you is highly unprofessional, even if it's a graduate trainee position.

Well, there's good news. I got a much better offer from another firm and I'll be joining them in a month. So it's all good for me in the end.

I wish everyone on this thread all the best, from those who have made it through TS, to those who are yet to be called for AC. Be rest assured that if it's meant for you, no one can take it from you.

Cheers!

Nah

Hideki:
We are in the same boat...have you received invite for the 3rd batch....?

3rd batch of TS. We did documentation and medicals in November, after the Feb guys got their TS mails

Hideki:
3rd batch?...pls explain

Some of us are waiting for 3rd batch o

Hideki:
Pls all those who did their doc/meds in November have any of you gotten TS mail

no mail yet. Not sure we will be with the Jan 08 batch. Our own na later things.

Hideki:
let them send us the TS mail na so that one can comfortably be sure of the batch and also take some concrete steps...I think we should call him this week

I don't think that's wise bruh. I also need to be sure so as to know how to plan my exit properly. But calling him is one step too far. These are professionals. So we should also act professionally.

Hideki:
Hello guys!!! Congrats to those resuming tomorrow....those that had their documentation and medicals on the 6th/7th of Nov. Any News? @saqo @dkingskid @cutemorriz....to resign from my current place of work dey hungry me like gala ...and for the records I was seriously ill when I had my medicals...

LMAO. Your illness has nothing on the medicals, so theres nothing to worry abt. As for related news, we are likely to be scheduled with the jan 8 batch. That's the inkling i got from the HCMD guy during documentation.

okusabiola:
Good evening everyone, a bit of digression please.

How relevant is a Masters degree in the banking industry?

VERY relevant. MBA especially.

CuteMorriz:
hello, have you done medicals? If yes, have you gotten TS mail?

Yes, I've done medicals. No, I haven't received TS mail. It's likely going to be in janaury tho. I was made to understand that.

Iamabraham:
Until some days ago, you were in the same shoe with some folks that received invitation for documentation about two days ago.

Keep the hope alive.

Not exactly. I did AC with you guys in August

solonazzy:
dropped during d weekend or wen exactly pls

yes. Around 4 on Saturday

Iamabraham:
What's the date for the documentation?

tomorrow and next. 6th/7th

CuteMorriz:
God is great just got mine too...pls on the attached form they requested for application id number and I don't know mine

no idea. But then someone has given us an answer already.

Btw. It seems we aren't much that got the new documentation mail. Are u sure they won't fix us with the jan 8 batch?

...and documentation mail just dropped. God is faithful!!!

Nchabuomo:
In my presence the Medical Officer signed fit for employment, without waiting for any of my scans to come in............

lol. Alright then

Nchabuomo:
Don't come and say what you DON'T know! Medical is just a formality so no-one can fail it. FBN employs even if you are combining 2 results. So I don't think people would have issues with that.
Please don't come and give people unnecessary High BP or be spreading misinformation! If you did documentation and medical DON'T worry, if FBN said there was a glitch, who are YOU to say there wasn't?

lol. Medical is not a formality bruh. People fail it. Not saying this to make you or anyone else lose hope anyway. Just trying to correct the seeming wrong notion you have about it. Cheers!

Davitron1107:
Guys I think it's next batch things for those that have done documentation Nd no TS invite.I even think those that are yet to do AC mit even join that batch

If what someone said about the tier and batches is anything go by, then there'll probably be a batch C for those that have done documentation and haven't gotten TS invite/Those that haven't done documentation. Then tier 2 for those that haven't done AC. atal.

Infact some people go don marry before this recruitment finish. Smh

KingDavid12:
Tomorrow, I already called the HR he said if I was already there for documentation I should disregard the mail.

Alright. Cool then. Cheers!

KingDavid12:
I just got another invite for documentation buh I already did before. Is that same with all? Thanks

Lol, madness. What's the date for the documentation tho?

Interesting happenings. TS mails without medical? FBN is just wonderful.

If nothing, i like the way the info ended the fights here. D tin be like magic.

Lol. 3 questions.

Answer question 2 and any other 2

Onlywoman92:
I am very considerate. I won't go for it

loool, nothing do you o.

OkunrinMeta:
I understand how we have to be "realistic". One can only be impressed if first bank gives like 3 months notice. But ....what is right is right.

So maybe i owe someone an apology.

But before that, let me ask you, if the experience at the place you resigned was 2-3 years, would you have acted the-same way? Should you now have to pull thesame stunt to join first bank and how would you explain the gapS in your CV if you do?

To start with, i never said FBN shld give a 1or 3 months notice, like I said it's an entry level opposition so one can understand if no notice is given at all. I was only explaining generally why it is important to resign properly, but this is NL, so it's expected for people to run their mouths.

On if I would have left if my experience was 2 to 3 years? Yes!. Fam it was a small startup company with a ridiculous pay, Trust me, you'd leave too. I might have taken the job experience from my CV, but I ddn't take it out of my head. What i learnt will stay with me forever.

Onlywoman92:
Nawa for the tussle on top notice period o No wonder we fresh graduate no dey see job.when people wey don chop belleful go still dey follow us drag job

lol, when u get the FBN job, if u see a better entry level opportunity elsewhere, don't apply u hear?

The issue of resigning 'properly' cannot be over emphasized. My current employers gave me 3 days to assume office and I hadnt dropped any prior notice at my previous place of work. I had to resign effective immediately, forfeiting a month's salary anyway, but of course it ddn't go down well with them. I got a formal letter stating that my resignation wasn't accepted and I would be denied any recommendations in the future.

Good thing was my present employers ddn't bother abt this when i showed them the letter, (just in case they decide to perform a bad ground check at any point in time).I was made to understand that the position was an entry level position, and as such it was assumed I had never worked anywhere. Fair enough money, but now I can't put the experiemce in my cv, cos u can never tell which company will conduct a background check. Naso 1 year work experience waste.

The truth is, no employer likes an effective immediately resignation, despite the forfeiture of one's salary. Appropriate time is expected to be given for a proper handover of all documents to the firm and for the firm to hire a replacement. So it's not impossible for one to get a bad recommendation from such employers when the need arises. In the big 4s, u must drop a month's notice as an associate and from senior level, 3 months. U no even get choice.

But then there's really nothing anyone can do about it, the FBN job is an entry level job, so we are not expected to have worked anywhere, hence the short notice (which is still not right anyways), but na naija we dey, so we not gats accept am like that.

ezzo09:
My people my people......Thanks alot. I sincerely wish everyone here the very best. I successfully did the documentation and medicals today after I missed it on Thursday.

@Brownsucre Thanks your advice came in handy.


To all those expecting documentation and AC mails, patience is not the ability to wait, it's the attitude you put up while waiting. Keep improving (even we sef wey Don do am) Just keep believing. Cheers all.

I dey wait una for FBN oh.

Village people no see me catch oo. Thank God.

lol, congrats bruh

cloud9usher:
Its funny seeing people in the previous pages making a go and bickering over how those who haven't gotten invites for documentation should forget about it and look elsewhere, yeah I know some people didn't state it directly but the subtle ways lots of people ridiculed people hoping for documentation invites all in the name of "telling people the hard truth" is utterly appalling!

Well, its not surprising because the average Nigerian feels better when he/she seemingly thinks or presumes he is better than another person and hence why you can see people subtly mocking others who haven't gotten documentation invites.

I know my purpose, worth and career goals so such puerile comments have no effect on me, I only feel it for those who don't have a job doing at the moment or holding on tight to hope fully fixed on FBN whom such comments would weigh down. Don't stop hoping, but live as well.

I will say it again, there will be more invites for documentation over time, this is not guesswork or me trying to give false hope, the only issue is that some people might wait for a while more than others, quote me anywhere concerning this claim. So guys still expecting should first of all know that by God's grace you'd still get in, and according to FBN plans, admission into training school would come in batches/phases over a long period of time.

And also, if at the end of the day you still don't get a chance at working with FBN, don't be in dismay, chase 10,20,30 other jobs with the same zeal and commitment you put it for this FBN job which got you all the way to the assessment center stage and I bet you that you'd get your goal achieved soonest.

You couldnt have said it better fam. Irritating attitudes on display cos u got called and some others haven't. Fine you've gotten your documentation mail, goodluck to you, move on and allow others who are waiting, wait in peace.

DanXplore:
If you have done your AC and have not received a success mail yet, just brace your self up and move on. Do not ask me questions, just trust me.

you're wrong. And it's only a matter of time before you'll realise it

lmao, why are u giving urself hypertension? Phases and Batches means basically the same thing. Stay Calm!

cheks123:
...in phases NOT in batches.

Could that mean there will no other invite for documentation for those that have done their AC.

lmao, seriously? whats the difference?
