It's within the range of N4m to N5m annually.

Mintek:
Congrats flowwolf09...pre-offer letter (for the new role) follows.

Recall I stressed this fact that you'd be given a look-in for another role which the bank deems more suitable vis-a-vis your experience and background, as that email did not imply outright rejection.

I hope Ude25, greenafrica, yemicoal and others who got a similar email find solace in this cheering piece of news.

coolme434:
Looking at the last paragraph of that regret mail, it states the candidate would be considered for other position in the same unit,if the candidates would be ok with d role, the person can still be hopeful, perhaps other roles like enquiry officer, asset custodian etc, my thoughts though,

Untouchable15:
Good Morning to all. Please I am scheduled for an interview/exco chat today. Please I need direction on how to locate the place.(Walter carrington). I will be moving from Shomolu side. PLS note. I am not resident in Lagos. So pls your detailed response will be appreciated. THANKS.

jiniux:
Available dates for induction are 7th and 21st September 2015. Still unsure when i will be resuming.

gsleek:

shugar25:
Any online degree awarding sites/links pls.......

skillmyman:
was told it is now china product.
the bank i left is about sacking another 300 staff.
trust me, a lot of them will be going home broke.
it is better to have alternative plans while you are still in the bank
because when you are out, you will be in panic mode and that is disastrous.

18wheeler:
Sure it can happen but very rarely. The medical tests are for a reason and going by the banks standard people can fail. Some persons have severe medical conditions that can affect productivity and they are either unaware or will refuse to reveal. But you shouldn't think of negative outcome all the time.

greenafrica:
@Ude25 @flowwolf09. I just got exactly the same email. The funny thing is that I went through both Interview and exco chat for Head Service Support ( HSS) but the mail qouted that I did interview for Personal and Business banking unit, which is pure marketing

Something is not right somewhere. Even if they wanted to send general mail to everybody they are not ready to consider now, it shd be customised for each department and not sending marketing mail to core operation applicants. My opinion though.

@Ude25 dont take it to heart. All hopes are not lost. But just push it a bit far back in your mind for now so that your mind wld be open to more opportunities that wld still come to you

Whatever it is, God wins

ude25:
14days interval, I did my first interview on the 8th of May, plz flowwolf09, do you have their contact number? Have u gotten feedback from them regarding your own case? What do you advise I do?

ude25:
I have only done 1 interview, was actually expecting invite for exco chat.

ude25:
Thank you for making out time to chat with us with regards to the role in our Personal and Business Banking Unit.
The feedback from the interview is that you are a strong candidate. However, in view of the role in question and the required profile for the potential hire, we would be progressing with a stronger candidate with more years of related experience.
Based on your experience and profile, we will be willing to consider you for other suitable vacancies within the unit. If that is okay by you, we shall retain your details on our database and contact you once we commence the review of the other roles.
Again, thank you for your interest and time.
Kind regards,
Resourcing Unit

This was the mail I received, I was interviewed for enquiry officer role, I just hope this is a mistake. Stanbic plz don't do this to me, my hope was already high.
Plz guys what do u think I should do, I was actually expecting invite for a chat only to receive this mail. Do they send regret mails after interview or chat? I don't even know what to think again. @ 18wheeler plz say something.

it takes a lot of time to schedule an interview, i.e getting the panel together, taking time away from their primary duties etc in order to meet their prospective hires. Also consider the cost implication of putting together that recruitment panel (immediate and remote cost). Now when invites are sent out, they are sent to a number of people...most times far beyond the actual no. they hope to hire. In which case, they would weigh the nos. of declines/rescheduled and try to ascertain if the nos are significant enough (compared to those that accepted) to honor that request taking note of the premise above. If the nos. are insignificant, the possibility of you being called is greatly reduced.

If u have gone thru some stages in the recruitment process and you couldn't make a certain invitation, they begin to weigh the significance of the invitee....i.e who initiated the need for that vacancy...if it was initiated at the branch level, they would probably reschedule cause there is a reason for a branch to recommend a prospective hire for absorption...if its a blanket recruitment initiated by H/O HR, the tendency u might not get a reschedule is higher because they know that because of the nos. of invitees and the need to prune them down, they believe they still stand a chance of getting the right cadre of staff from the ones left - taking note of the nos of those that would make it viz-a-viz the no. of gaps they intend to fill, as well as the possibility that they still have a good no. of recruit-able hands based on the CV and the presentation made by such staff in previous interviews and of cuz the reason behind ur inability to meet up with the initial date in the 1st place (100% attendance for a test/interview isn't always possible). Bottom-line, its best to try meet up with set dates, no matter how tight except of cuz its not an open recruitment.

As per the medical issue, its really not a big deal...i know many that had their recruitment process discontinued after medicals....sometimes it could be as a result of communication gaps within the HR dept or a result of failure in medicals. Medicals doesn't just end with usual blood test for some institutions as they also have indicators they look out for but lets leave that aside. Its difficult to know exactly the issue as they would not officially communicate such lapses (if any) in their correspondence with you and wouldn't tell u that its because of some medical condition discovered....that is a ticket for lawsuit as there are laws against such discriminatory action by employers.

It is however not a done-deal as they could indeed call you up for another position...which would clearly indicate that there was probably an oversight in the processing of your recruitment between the last interview and the call for medicals in terms of placing you were you best fit within the organization as they highlighted in the case being discussed. I know some who were given offer letters months after their recruitment was 'discontinued' in such manner....nothing is impossible. keep the faith. Who knows, when they do call u, u would be somewhere else with a better package than they are offering.

TheeRevelation:
I just got Interview/Exco Invite for monday.

TheeRevelation:
Anybody for Asset Custodian??

gsleek:
now this is scary.....after medicals?
I don't have any banking experience o ...and I applied for enquiry officer....they sent me invite for personal banker....done two interviews in pH...I'm now invited for another EXCO chat in Lagos, should I ask them to change it back to the enquiry officer or still proceed with the personal banker? cos it wont be funny after medicals dem come start to they give story oo...@18wheeler...wat do u think?

ckuteg:
Yea....its possible it could have been a mistake. ...maybe u should call to find out...cos it just doesn't mk sense...not after gettin to medical stage.....It could be a mistake...it happened to someone...cos they called the person back and rectified it

Iolo:
This can be really painful. I mean why get to the last stage only to be rejection. Please send them a mail to be sure.

18wheeler:
Since you're so certain then the message may have been misdirected. Please mail PBBresourcing and find out.

primeson1:
as stated, i think it has to do with more years of experiece are needed for your role flow

it will all end in praise....dont fret

18wheeler:
People still get negative medical reports.

18wheeler:
Sadly, its a notice of rejection for the role you applied. But you'll be considered for another role when a vacancy is created.
I dont like it that I'm giving you this info. but all the best in your future endeavors.

18wheeler:
So sorry I didnt. Will do today unfailingly. Hope it wont be late. So sorry.

gsleek:
Were ur interviews in Lagos or ph?

gsleek:
have u gone for the medicals?

worusabi:
from an 'aromatic sauce' new intakes to resume July -the 2nd half of the financial year- so brace up and fasten ur belts.recruitment to be concluded max june.

edey2real:
I need an urgent advice on a marketing job in a bank.

The pros and cons.

Thank you.

Mintek:
@ 18wheeler.

Your response here could make @flowwolf09 wish he had not asked at all...just waking up daily and hoping to hear from Stanbic sure would be more soothing than knowing it could take as long as 2months to get a call .

18wheeler:
Could be up to a month. I waited 2 months for mine.

18wheeler:
So many factors can cause delay. Its easier to process these things in batches, its also cheaper rather than processing individually. You may be waiting for others to be processed to your stage and then you take the medicals together. I don't think you should be worried at this stage. Calm down, you're there already.
