Jesusbabygirl: wow,congrats dear,so happy for u.Btw,do u know if any1 dat applied for forensics have had interviews,I applied to forensic and I did my test since March,am almost regretting it

Of course! I also wrote the test in march and applied to forensic. I have done 2 interviews. Awaiting call-up for the partner interview.

How does that help me pass my banking school exams! Next

Happy new month pEeps! Woah! New month, new beginning; it all starts today. TS 4 real! Can't bliv I'm stil up @ this time watchin spain go down in pains (dat's wat u get when u re-arrange the letters of the word 'spain') in the hands (or feet if u lyk) of brazil, when I have to be up by 4am. Na 2 dey doze 4 class o! Sha, I hope there would be some time for recess, (aside lunch time) when one can do tinz lyk.....sleep of course na! Lol

LBanks: What do U mean by April 24th to June 27th? Please explain

Wrote the test april 24th, and received TS invite 2day 27th. June.

April 24th-June 27th....TS invite finally arrives! BBG noni. I'm however, nat poppin yet. Victory over one challenge is a step into another. My TS Target: 90%. So help me God!!!

ardayshyne: well, no wahala...dey shud just notify us in time b4 d resumption date jare, dunno wats kipin' dem. meanwyl, lemme gaan write my firstbank test 2mao.

Wat batch are u? Time?

blackbess: thanks, lobito 007, i really do appreciate your word of encouragement.I'l just have to remain calm just as i've been all this while.I wish u al d best, see u at the top.

Yeah yeah! C u der too!

blackbess: @Lobito007, u mean u did urs in April and u"ve been called for medicals already, u"re highly favoured by God o.Well let"s keep our fingers crossed@jadepinket and all first interview hopefuls, i believe we"ll still be called by GOD"S grace.Let"s keep the hope alive cos this waiting is kinda frustrating, it"s well.

It's all gud. Just remain calm. They will definitely invite you, as most peeps who wrote the test in february were just called for interview late may or early june(that was 4 months wait). So ur case is nat strange.

mcstan_18: Congrats Tingles. We look forward to meeting you in the big family. Which unit did you apply to by the way? I'm sorry I've been away for a while now to follow up on those who desired it.

If there are still any issues that require clarifications, you can beep my line on 08093137951

Gud 2 hav u bac macstan. Please what's your whatz app digits?

irisblui: Hello house!
Pls for those dat av had their interview wit UBA (Marina), were u asked to present ur CV during d intvw? I asked bcz I wld like to go wit an updated copy of mine.

Yes, u will be required to come with a copy.

jadepinkett: same here bro. 28th of march. No intrview invyt yet

UBA and their mysterious formats! I (a Bsc applicant) had my test in april and I'v done my medicals already. So why should u who wrote d test march still b awaitin a call-up 4 interview! You all should just keep your fingers crossed. It will all be gud.. Keep faith that u will be called 4 d interview soon.

toksade: The formal convocation u asked about use to be for just 2day(usually the tuesday & wednesday immediately after the Sunday of the assessment test). The resumption day could either be 1st or 15th. It now depend on how quick you get ur guarantors and finish ur on-boarding. So, if u finish the convocation on 28th of a month and u met up with everything I mentioned above b4 1st of the next month, then u can start on the first. But if not, u'll ensure you do it b4 15th. If after a month and u don't met up, the appointment become authomatically terminated. I no knw the salary scale yet.

Thanks bro. So whr does the 10working days that priscolade made mention of bout posting 2 branches by the bank come into the scene? Pls also talk bout how on-boarding is done....dat sounds lyk another training after d bankin skul.

PriscOlade: Not more than 10 working days.

That's 2 weeks!

PriscOlade: @Lobito, you'll be employed on a probationary basis for an initial period of 6 months, if @ d end of dat period, yur performance is considered satisfactory, you'll be confirmed. During d probationary period, termination of appointment by either party is subject 2 2weeks notice in writing and in the case of DEFAULT, a PAYMENT of 2weeks basic salary in lieu of notice is mandatory. I hope that helps.
@Magdayne, P-test is just conducted 2ascertain yur level of reasoning... You don't have 2read 4it, just have 2b smart. Itz conducted 4 doz with B.Sc cert too
@Tricianice, they take pregnant ladies in TS and also employ them in as much as you promise that it won't distort your services 2d bank
@Chocknolis, you'll be nude but given a gown, the x-ray is just 4yur chest, dunno if it has extended 2oda parts sha...

Spot-on! So hw long after d training schooll wil it take b4 u get posted 2 diff branches? Also, what are the various allowances they give and the tax % on salaries?

mascot87: How could they set complex word problems,the verbal reasoning is mad,imagine them lifting words directly from d dictionary and asking us to find the opposite or nearest in meaning(almost 10 of them o),also giving two words relating to each other and asking us to pick one option from several similar options to d given example and finally, how can they send a message of setting abstract reasoning and eventually setting critical reasoning.All I read did not relate at all to what I saw and it takes d grace of God for me to get a fairly tangible result. Ha God, where do I start from?? I was so annoyed that God sent someone to console me cos I couldnt leave the centre. I was just nagging and almost feel like calling on God to end this world.But with d 45min to 1 hr consoling words from that brother I have never met before in my life until today, I am back on my feet and hopes are rising

Such Is life bro! Surprises, somtimes annoying. Buh I was not taken aback by your experience coz I'v written dragnet test a million and one times. I hope strongly to never write their test again. You are not alone. It's all good!

mascot87: Na wa for KPMG o, na which kind of exam them come set na?
I am totally disappointed in the whole Nigerian system

Huh? Woh exactly happened? Elabroate.

toksade: Yes, we wrote ours on Sunday and people I knew even b4 I went for the training wrote theirs on Sunday. It's possible they make it another when its ur turn sha...

Alryt den. Heard der was a formal convocation ceremony. Wat was it lyk? Hw long after d assessment did u have it?

toksade: There is no B.Sc batch in TS atm. It is only 11th batch of the OND holders that concluded yesterday or today and will be doing the assessment on Sunday.
A guy told us during our induction that another TS will be starting on the 8th of July but didn't specify wether B.Sc or OND holders.

D assessment wil b on a sunday Lyk wat's dat! Is dat d usual day they fix it?

Hello peeps! It's been quiet here lately. Any recent activity?

Juchy: @lobito There is no bond or contract requiring you to pay a certain amount if u decide to leave at any time. I think that is only applicable in Access Bank

Thanks mayn!

Ebuka Ogbonna: Hi guys,

I took the test way back in April, 20th I think. Thereafter, I got a mail back that I was successful in the tests and was told to bring along certain documents including my transcripts which I later applied for. Ever since, I have not heard a word concerning the interviews. Anybody heard stuff? Thanks.

Don't panic (as long as u have submitted your credentials, tho d transcript myt stil b pending). They sometimes take that long. I wrote the test March 8th, but just had my 1st interview on May 30th.

lobito 007: To everyone who's already in or any1 hu has the info. After u pass the training schhol, and you are given an appointment, does UBA require u to sign a contract that you will remain with 'em for lyk 1or 2yrs, breach of which u would have to pay a sum of money (running into millions) before u can leave? @ toksade et al pls reply.

Pls evry1, I nid an answer to dz question!

All the best

kodilyjoe: Hello dear friends, i sent my cv last week to kpmg e.mail and i just got an invitation for a test scheduled on staurday at Chams city Lagos , Numner 2 Isaac John Street , G.R.A Ikeja Lagos.on 22nd of June 2013 by 2.30 pm.
I was to make a printout or change my exam venue by clicking on http://candidate.fot.ng.com. But the link is talking about health and another thing altogether. Plz who knows a way out? Dear geniuses plz help me out.

Beware! I sense this to be a scam + my gmail account also termed d same mail as 'spam'. Moreso, FOT is a site used by dragnet and KPMG does not contract its aptitude tests to dragnet or any other recruitment agent. However, since the venue (chams city) is open and well-known, there's no danger in going there on the proposed date to see things for yourself and then use your discretion.

magdayne: june 13th and was told to get prepared for a P-Test

Do u mean it was stated in the mail? Did u apply with an ND?

magdayne: plsss what is the psychometry test all about.
i was told on that its the next stage after the interview.
plss some one should plss help with the breakdown of what its about

Whr did u do your 1st interview and what is your source? Coz I'v never heard of UBA conducting psychometry test.

CharlyG1: Na lie! Na medicals next. Thank God I got my success mail too. 2nd level interview is usually for pple who do their interviews in UBA branches not HO. We did in HO and faced a 3pple panel, so medicals shld b next.. 90% certain

That was going to be my reply. Having had the 1st interview in Lagos with a panel of 3 interviewers, the next stage is medicals. Only those who had their 1st interview out of Lagos would have a 2nd.

To everyone who's already in or any1 hu has the info. After u pass the training schhol, and you are given an appointment, does UBA require u to sign a contract that you will remain with 'em for lyk 1or 2yrs, breach of which u would have to pay a sum of money (running into millions) before u can leave? @ toksade et al pls reply.
