:opls dis talk about intercontinental shld be reduced a little. rumours are not too good for organisations especially rumours dat arent too grounded on facts. did a friend of a friend dat works there tell u of d 30% slash in sal or u work at intercontinental urself? as far as payin wel or not payin wel is concerned, its a matter of relativity. banks generally are d third well paying organisations in d country after oil and telecoms even though som banks are more dan telecoms.

'''Intercontinental has unravel the mysterious rumour about her 'impending sinking".
They havewater-tight evidence that First bank is behind d rumour.Its unprofessional 4
a bank like 1st bank 2 be involved in such a perveted act, WHAT DO U THINK, '''

first of all who told u that 1st bank is behind d rumour, wat could 1st bank possibly gain by
talkin about the impendin demise of intercontinental(wether true or not). i tink you should know that first
bank is a bank of strict moral and corporate values.thats why the bank is still here after 100 yrs plus.
true intercontinental has been talked about lately especially wen they increasd their minimum savings
balance to 10 k, are u sayin evry nairalander is a firstbanker? the bank shld get its acts together, nor be
cnn advert we go chop!!

first of all d 1st bank interview consists of two sessions, 1st session a group of 5 or so candidates will face a panel of 4-5 interviewers. u guys are givin a a discussion topic to trash out. u r required to make intelligent contributions, dont be forcefull dnt be too insignicant, dnt speak wen u dont hav anytin to add but make sure u make an impresion. the second stage u guys den go in one by one to face the same panel. this time its one on one, u will be required to tell dem about ur self, educational history wit dates. be consistent be relaxed even if u are not. its rilly a peice of cake, i wld advice u guys to google this line, 50 interview questions and answer's, just type in dat line and u'll get many hits. print as much as u can , study those questions and answers, rehearse dem and believe me ur confidence will grow, espect questions like '' u studied computer science, why do u want to work in a bank?' or ''why shld we employ you'' or'''why 1st bank'', ''where do u see urself in the next 10 yrs'', for the interview group, espect topics like'''wat in your opinion should 1st bank do to beat the competition'' , ''how does the global economic crises affect the nigerian banking sector or nigerian economy, read estensively guys, study the 1st bank web page too so u can hav a knowledge of the banks history, wen u chip in bits and pieces of tins u know about he bank it impresses the interviewers, it worked for me in 2007 it will definitly work for u now, good luck guys!

this tread is not a joke. in the space of one year two friends of mine @ finbank have been fired or to put in their words ADVICED TO RESIGN. What i dont get is where the bank seems to be goin becos after its rebranding it has not shown any growth signs only finding new ways to threaten ppl with targets, ppl watch out!!!

@I have used MTN but I hate the 3G limitation which I finish in max 4days, they even deduct your bandwidth for uploads, which you are never told but you discover as you use.
pls i use mtn only cos i saw the issues my collegues and friends were goin tru wit starcomms, delays wit subscriiption activation or renewal, unavailability of starcomms in certain states like enugu especially wen i had to be there last week i could take my lappie wit me cos mtn is there, but enlighten me, wat are the issues with mtn subscription?

pls i never said any one shld work and die cos of money, tank God for free will, u can even stay at home, dnt get a job, eat wat ever freee food u can find, be a couch potato for the rest of ur life , no one will quarell wit u for that, humans complain wen dem nor get job and complain louder wen d job stress hit dem, if man na God him for cover ear so dat all d complain go stop!!

dear bankers, the stress is much, but try staying staying at home wiithout a job for six months and you'll appreciate the diff b/w the "haves" and the "have nots"!!! its amazing wat we go tru just to get the job done evry day, som times its supper human when u accomplish a days job in one day!!
am in operations, but trust me i also have a deposit target! its baffling men, but God day, we have to kip tankin him for giving us wat we hav, me am on leave now and having a ball!

yeah i got 3 jobs from nairaland, 1st bank,celtel,bank phb, all at d same time mind u 2 yrs ago!!! so just kip d faith, i believe naira land still works guys!

i work at first bank and if you must know even we in the system have a hard time reconciling our appointment letters with what we really take home, so heres the straight forwrd thing you will get from me, the pay is around sixty thousand for unconfrimed start, ie during ur one year probation, then it will go up with u recieving some benefits. However with the proposed merger btw eti and first bank tins can only get better, and believe me even if you go to anoda bank, there isnt a better place to begin ur career in banking but first bank, that is the truth! so just try and get in cos many are called but few very few for that matter are chosen! Pray and do ur best, the salary is secondary for now cos only the employed woryy about take home, the unemployed? , well u know the answer to that!

hi all, for all of us waiting for the green light from bank phb all this while it was good news too be invited for a second interview on saturday 6 october. my interview was ok but as brief as the first one in july this year. i how ever garnnerd that there will be no more interviews afta this stage just a medical test for those succesful for me i already hav a job at first bank so it was really cruise control for me at the interview cos i know it gave me an edge, Any one in the house who attended? lets know how it was for you, by Gods grace we'll all be successful, IT IS WELL, GOD DOESNT LIE, FEEL ME?

Men is there any one in the house who did the bank Phb interview in ph in july. Its been a while now and am wondering if any one has been secretly called for a further directive, let the house if thers any thing new please, tanx house!

Men i had to make a choice recently like this,,for me it was btw celtel call center and first bank , my advice will be to continue with the celtel cos u have dat bird at hand, glo is just an interview not employment letter, except u can attend d interview and still continue ur celtel training, truth is Glo pays better, and most likely u wont be a contract staff, i understand the oghara job is for contract staff though they might review after 3 months(atlist they told) me dat at d interview) Pray most importantly, and God will see u tru, kip it real!

Tanx guys, yes i have made my decision first bank it is, about being a deltan and the call center job, wel i am from Bayelsa state and not delta, but we all hav ethe same citizenship in Gods eyes so keep believing, peace out!

Apiyoyo i dont really know wats goin on cos i dit take the job again.but i'll ask a fried of mine who did and maybe get back to u over the weekend. For my part i stay i portharcourt ad was told to come ad collect my employment letter ad do medicals on 6 august. I guess u ca do one sure thig PRAY. it will be well.infact it already is! Will get cback to u soon ciao!

Men APIYOYO, i actually live in port harcourt and was calld 2 cm 2 lagos to do medicals and collect my appoinntment letter.my friend anoda ph guy was also cald 2. so the story about lagos residents mite not be true anymore. And tanx guys 4 the advice, God is Good and he will put u guys in the same DELICIOUS DILLEMA THAT HE PUT ME VERY VERY SOON.TANX!

Guys tanks a million for all the replies u've sent my way. I made a choice to take first bank because i already had my eyes set on making a career in the banking industry. I know 1st bank is a very humble beginning but hey I have just done other bank interviews recently so am still expecting 2 hear from them.Its all the lords doing that i have a choice though i know HE WIL DO IT FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO REPLIED MY POST IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

PEOPLE OUT THERE TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATH . THANK YOU JESUS!

hi all. Well what i heard at the venue of the phb interview is that the executive directors that where supposed to be on the panel of the interviewers had to attend a meeting an so couldnt come for the interview. The staff told us that the meeting concerns their financial year which ends on the 30th of june. There is some truth in this cos if u even researched the bank you will know that their financial year indeed ends on the 30th of june. The meeting (i was told) will hold wed,thurs,and friday! So the interview has been slated hopefully for nexr week! I was sent a text inviting me but like some of you guys i hadnt been even notified earlier that i passed the test. Pleasant suprised you must agree. Lets pray for the best next week ok!
