ednutoyekan: I quite understand how you are feeling dear when some of your peeps have already finished medicals. Just hang on, it should be your batch this week. Because all medicals shud be ending towards the end of the month so that we can resume TS either first or second week in December. The mail is coming sooner than you expect...keep faith!

@ ebade, you don't have to worry so much, they will soon call you and tell you what, it's certain you will make it to training school. It only took long for you to get the best result. Best wishes my friend.

elbow:

i hope you read this soon enough. I met a friend when we were at the HQ to collect TS invite letter, he got a sorry message after 2nd level interview, according to him,some weeks later,he got invite for medicals and later the success message (i believed him).
Okesamie, can you put up a little faith and pray a little more? You've come so far to be dumped. Little faith bro.

Thanks my brother i have faith, If God wants me there i will be there and if he wants me elsewhere there is nothing i can do, he is the one who decides whatever happens to a man, i know he will make perfect decisions regarding my life. I have read situations where people say their interview sessions were hell in this forum and they got success mail. I said my interview was perfect but contrariwise i got an imperfect result. Once again, Thanks ELBOW.

whizkidy: You guys should stop thinking/imagining. @ okesammie if your interview was at marina then it could take forever before they reply you. If they haven't hopefully by next week they would.

Well, people want answers to questions and yes kayjay it's what you are thinking i was dropped at marina. Goodluck to you guys and to me in my next opportunity. Interview appeared sweet and perfect but God knows best. It's been a wonderful time here on nairaland discussing GTB and i appreciate everyone that has been concerned about me, God bless you all.

captalex:

The answers you put in for those questions are welcome.

Mr Captalex, i haven't forgotten that you once asked about test and documentation at a time and i asked you which one you wanted to do, now it's answers to interview questions. What's your intention? You don't seem to be serious.

Ebade: Has anyone of you receive a success mail from Gtb as regards Ur interview? Pls ki us posted oh, okesammie, kayjay and d rest. As for me, d waiting is killing me, am so anxious 4 my own mail.

Not yet. Will be here to keep you posted once i have it. You will get panel interview invitation before the end of this week by God's grace. They always do it on friday and it comes in 2 days earlier, so expect it latest by wednesday. Goodluck

Ebade: Thanks okesammie and kayjay.. It is well, like u said, God's guidance in order to answer the questions appropraitely, God with us, we wld all get to the top.

AMEN.

Ebade:
Thanks okesammie, how did your interview go?? What questions were u asked? How many Were the interviewers?

2 interviewers. What do you know about GTB? What can you offer GTB? The 3 CEOs, why did you choose your course? Let us meet you, here you will be asked to say things outside your CV. The attributes you mention here must be backed up by a real life story of what has happened to you in the past where such attributes came into play.Why do you wanna join d team?Have you ever thought of being self employed? If you are offered employment in GTB and maybe firstbank, what would be your criteria for selection? The important thing is that you should pray to God for divine guidance to answer the questions appropriately. Goodluck.

Ebade:
I don chek all of dem, e no de dere oh.

Documentation is a pre-interview exercis, they can't drop you from there as​ long as​ you have necessary qualifications. If you read this forum from the beginning, you will find out there is no reason to be scared as​ it has always been in batches. Expect yours soon. Hopefully between monday and wednesday by God's grace. Goodluck.

zeusosha: Let us just hope ours will still come.

Remember it's always in batches. You will have yours too soon. I am positive about that. By God's grace next week.

The rest of us from OCT 11 documentation who are yet to get their invitation should be patient. I believe it's on the way. God in his mercies will take us all there. I know what it takes to wait but i want to assure you all that no one will ever be left out, by God's grace.

ednutoyekan: Panel Interview at Marina on Friday 2nd Novenber...it is well ooooooo

Ednutoyekan we are having the panel interview at the same place. See you there on friday. What time is yours?

chamber2: ^^^

You guys will get it soon. By God's grace. I believe you will resume next week, that's like the first week as​ all 5 days(Monday-friday) are days in november. I received it around 8 a.m this morning.

Just like this analysis reads, I just received an invitation for panel interview at MARINA which is to hold on friday 2nd of november. check your box people.

Ebade: Kayjay, no news yet. We are all waiting!

They have sent it.

To all muslims on the thread(members and guests). BARKA DE SALLAH.

chamber2:

Let me give a breakdown of the interview questions. The Mistake most people make is to bundle alot of irrelevant things in their CV, thereby making it difficult for the interviewer to quickly scan through their Cv. It also makes the interviewer ask you numerous questions which may throw you off-balance. I mean, this is an entry level/graduate trainee job where you are assumed to haven't done really much, why then suffocate the interviewer with a 2-3 paged CV and thereby making your interview questions complex? My CV was just one paged and the panel commended me for that. Just include ONLY the important things and say others in the course of the interview.

Secondly, be confident, eloquent and friendly. Smile when necessary and DO NOT argue with the panel. If they disagree with you on any point just smile and inform them you have noted their points. DO NOT ARGUE.

Also, try to ask questions. In my case i asked; what is a typical day at GT like? What are the opportunities for career advancement at GT? Questions help to show you are actually interested in knowing more about them.

Try also to gesticulate. Do not just sit like dummy without moving your hands. It shows lack of confidence. Do not mumble. Be clear and concise.

Your dressing must reflect your personality and carriage. Dress appropriately. I will advise you wear a black suit, black tie or orange colour with a white shirt. Thats very suitable for the interview.

Know your course of study, why you chose the course during jamb and how it relates to banking. Also, when asked which dept of the bank you feel you can fit in, tell the panel that you are quite versatile and flexible and would fit in any dept of the bank.

On the one-on-one interview, know things about the bank, its financials and the Nigerian banking sector. Know why you feel you are suitable for the job and why you should be employed against others.

In the bank's financials, know its current share price, capital base, shareholders' equity, profit, dividend etc.

In summary, the questions are:
1. Tell me about yourself. Here advise you say things beyong your cv
2.where do you see yourself in 5yrs?
3.what do you know about gt?
4.what are about financials?
5.Tell me about the banking sector
6.Why do you consider yourself fit for this job?
7.why did you choose your course of study?
8. How does your course relate to banking? etc

Also, pray for God's favour and guidance. If you pass the panel stage the personal interview is almost a work over.

Nice one bro. God bless you. I see lexo4real reading this. Please feel free to loop us in if there are addenda from u. Thanks a lot chamber.

lexo4real:
@okesammie
Entry test ....sept 6
Documentation and pre interview ...sept 10
Panel interview.....sept 21
One on one interview .... Oct 19

Resumption date for training.....

Are you reading this peeps? It is two months on a normal day and when it gets abnormal, it goes beyond two months. Lexo4real and chamber.1st week in November is very sure 4 u guys. All the best. Please don't forget to keep us posted just like whizkidy is doing. Meanwhile, we are gonna appreciate if you could help us post questions from your interview that we are not familiar with here.

yinkkistic: Plz som1 shld hlp me with the past question for gtb test.yinkkistic@gmail.com.thanks

When is your test?

lexo4real:
Yes oº°˚˚˚°º bro...November five shld b d date
Can't wait!

Chamber and Lexo4real please confirm that one of you guys wrote his test in August(August 17 i guess) or betterstill, that the guys receiving their invitations for medicals are those that wrote their tests in august. That would tell we september 26 test takers that we are the next set to resume training by first week in december. Thanks.
