Why would they use almost one million naira to train you and not employ you thereafter? Well except off course you fail the foundation school!
One million naira? Per person?

Not if you already have a job and the admission to TS email sent has a disclaimer stating you might not be accepted if there are no more spaces and other lame excuses. Will be cutting off almost 100k from my current salary for 3months without knowing what the offer is! Recruitment process that is taking almost 2 years! Sigh. Abeg money too is important.
"Might not be accepted if there are no more spaces"
Please can you expatiate?

I actually feel so too, but let's keep watching the film FBN wants to act!

Non of the contact HR is taking calls.
Hi Ehis,any update please?
Jobs/VacanciesRe: 2016 Firstbank Graduate Trainee Programme by okusabiola: 1:28pm On Oct 20, 2017
I think at this point we should minimise speculations and just come here with facts; could be responses from HR, or mails received by any of us. That's gonna do a whole lot in easing tension. And as much as possible let's try to be transparent,this life is too short. Thanks.

Wish us all the best,it'll end in praise!

Dear All,

I just spoke with the HR rep and he said the process is handled in head office that i should send Chidinma a mail for clarification.
Please those of you that had your documentation and medicals just endeavor to send a mail for clarification.

Thanks
Hello,please did you send the mail to Chidinma?

Hey landed. Top of the morning to you. You are absolutely entitled to your opinion but I asked you as at yesterday afternoon to show where I insulted cloud....you did not respond until this morning writing all you just wrote. Someone saying he/she is disappointed is actually a relative term....where I come from you scold both whoever is right and whoever isn't just to ensure there is peace and not to let the other party feel much aggrieved.(This is not to say I am right)

You actually said you didn't want to get involved in this but you clearly are in thick of it....try to prove whatever you assert and don't be overridden with emotions.(this is not an insult, is it?). I actually made the above statement to emphasise and denounce the zero-sum approach to arguements on this thread...it didn't start today he who must come to equity must come with clean hands".

At the heat of the e-fisticuffs grin yesterday I made a statement even though hidden had no layer of over-ridden emotion. I wrote that at night but I had asked since in the afternoon to point out where I insulted him. If you are to be sincere with yourself, if I was the very person you are defending, by now you know what you are likely to read.


I answered because you quoted me. And as regards the accounting foundation stuff, please try not to use a note of finality in your statements. Someone else might think otherwise and decide to run a few accounting topics on this thread!


Please relax, take a deep breath. Look at what you typed and what i just typed? Who just insulted?

Cheers!

cool
Man, please you really need to stop. Enough of all these justification and 'clarification' epistles. Let's move on abeg. The other guy you first had the ish with has stopped saying anything, even when you had direct or indirect cheers from one or two people. E don do biko.

Maybe. Not too sure. But i was the group leader in mine and am awaiting TS.
It's a fallacy my dear,nothing like that

I really do hope so because many people like myself would be coming far from the training school upon making it and might need to sort out some logistics issues if accommodation wouldn't be provided.The best news right now would be FBN sending messages to those who have done documentations and had their medicals giving one an idea of when the GTs would resume at the training school,it might even help those still awaiting AC too.This 'suspense' is killing.
True,cos I really don't know the point of giving just a few days notice to the TS.

Hello guys, i'm still awaiting AC but someone said one must strive to be a group leader during group discussion to excel @ AC. So dt had left me with a taught that does that mean everyone that made it to documentation stage were group leaders during their assessments? cry
This is a very big fat lie, just make sure you contribute intelligently, don't just open your mouth because you have to say something, think very fast and make tangible and meaningful comments and also make sure your candidate number placed on the table is well displayed so the panelists can grade you accordingly.

Please anyone with an idea of what's needed for TS cos notice may be short as speculated and some of us aren't really chanced,so we won't be caught unaware.

Please do you have an idea of the time interval between when we'll be called and when TS will kick off?
