Lagos center how far

Why na only 2 people get the mail na

Okpanwu:
The earlier you take ur mind off some of this organization dat use months to years to do mere recruitment the better for you. one thing is sure before I receive their message, I would have gotten a good job somewhere. mtcheewww!! let them go and learn better system from Access bank.

after 2 years in gtb recruitment process..they might not still take you after even passing medicals

ifeanyija:
so u expect anoda recruitment dis year or next?

read what I wrote well

DivineKayy:

Hmmm...AGM means Annual General Meeting... please be guided. Who attends this? Board of directors of the bank.

AGM is a forum where shareholders and board of directors meet.. they present the last year financials and the future plans..so recruitment has nothing to do with AGM and shareholders...it's an internal thing...expect interview invites soon

ifeanyija:
i heard it will be a massive recruitment, cos it will be a combination of 2016, 2017 recruitment, after this it wil take long b4 they recruit again.

nah..it just one recruitment and they might reduce the cut off mark to take so many graduates

chudionu58:
During the AGM?

I don't know...I only said the management approved it

Interviews should start soon because the management just approved it this week

Until they approve the budget for assessment center and training school no show for us

The process should end may, June , July depending on how many batches they want to take ...just pray they take large numbers at once

Okpanwu:

What do you tink could be their timeline?

that's between the HR department and management board

Sambest2:


2013, successful applicants went for training school 2015.

a batch went to Training school in 2014 another batch in 2015

Ama212k:


Last recruitment was 2013 but success mail started bouncing in 2015 due to technical issues. But 2016 recruitment will surely be error free as dragnet is incharge of the recruitment process. Unlike last recruitment that the recruitment process was entirely done by first bank HR.

and there's nothing like delay in technical issues ...it is when the management approves they call..they have timeline for recruitment processes

nops last recruitment was done by workforce and workforce also handled the assessment center too

Okpanwu:


Mind ur language my friend. no foul language and words pls. everyone is entitle to his/her view. tanks and God bless you.

nancybae:

onojemma:
...still patiently waiting for the test result?
Anyone with any clue as to when results will be out.This is just the beginning of the year and opportunities are popping up here and there,result should be released in good time to enable decide which one to take.

Get a job and if you get first bank fine if not you have something to hold on to

onojemma:


Hi Olam10,
You speak like an inside/someone that assist with useful information, any idea when we will start getting this mail? i.e the mail for the assessment centre etc even if the date is tentative.
REPLY ASAP.

the last recruitment took up to 4 to 5months after the test...they wrote the test June but the assessment Centre came like Oct/Nov thereabout tho....I don't know their timeline for this recruitment...after assessment Centre it won't take up to 2months before TS invitation

The next mail you are getting from first bank is assessment center (another small test, preparing PowerPoint, Presenting the powerpoint you prepared, an interview,Group discussion). After the AC, the next mail is documentation and medicals, the next mail is training school..so if you don't get any of these mails that means you failed..no rejection mails

Please if you are close to 26 or 26yrs and they called you for test in Lagos. ...please let us know please

Please if you are close to 26 or 26yrs and they called you for test in Lagos....please let us know abeg...

Sometimes I get so pissed at this country of ours, in foreign countries the exact pay for a job is placed along side the advert, but over here recruiters have a filled day and just see how people were arguing up and down in the previous page of this thread in regards the range of salary for this First bank GT job.

Another ignorant person who start rebuking another candidate who asked to know if anyone knows what's the pay like, you'd hear things like "Nigerians are so greedy, get the job first", or "Are you looking for only how to gain from the company instead of what you would add to the company", that's how graduates in Nigeria have been reduced too, how pitiful! Go to foreign job websites and see the difference. May God help our youths to know their worth and stop acting like douch bags who don't have value for themselves. Like seriously some job seekers have a lot of options and wish to know the pay so they know if they are to follow through with it(expenses like travelling, interviews, etc) or focus on some other jobs.

I remember on Stanbic bank recruitment thread, I almost cried at the pathetic low level Nigerians have become. Stanbic recruitment is in phases and not regular across all border so some people got offer letters in some locations when others in other locations were just within their 1st stage of interviews. And when those waiting for interviews would ask those who have got offer letters about the pay, you'd see people exhibiting some primitive attitude and refuse to give details, like seriously this is a faceless forum, would telling a hopeful like you the pay range make Stanbic bank sack you? Or would we know you are Mr A or B who is receiving this amount of money as salary? This is a faceless forum and yet people display their local and primitive attitude and that's why most foreigners take advantage of Nigerians and trample on such. One funny comment I saw was when one guy who got an offer letter gave salary range details after been begged and begged by others, he said its within the range of 100k - 250K. Like seriously? Nigerians I hail o!

Pardon my lengthy post, this just had to be said. Before I go, does anyone have an idea where First Bank training school would take place? Would everyone converge at Lagos for the 3 months period or it can be done in regional areas around the country? (I hope this question is simple enough, I didn't ask about how much the salary would be o )

the training school would be in iganmu lagos...first bank would provide food and accommodation to people outside lagos or very far like ikorodu, iyana ipaja and so on (but you have to submit a letter and pray they see enough reasons to give you accommodation)

Eladua:


It is just funny how you will be arguing without getting your facts right. Most of the people you claimed you know are likely going to be contract staffs not graduate trainee, but do you expect them to tell you. Like she said Access pays 237k and it's true, GtB pays 208k. First bank even pay more, pls stop arguing what you don't know.

check my breakdown of firstbank graduate trainee's pay on page 46

stop spreading false news..first bank pays more ke please....you will get to the third level or fourth level in first bank to earn what a Graduate trainee in access bank or gtb earns...wigwe increased access bank's pay I think a Graduate trainee earns around 270k

Olam10:
Training school is 43k for 3months...graduate trainee is 2.3m total package...120k monthly till you are confirmed ...when confirmed it will be reduced to 100k back office staff 90k marketing...the 20k on top would be added up to give you as upfront..den leave 200k..that's all you need to know as per their pay

and there's what they call pfp..it's performance related paid at the end of the year..it's differs because it is calculated based on individual,team and branch performance...13th month pay (not up to 100k sha)

Please you should stop asking for past questions, please wait until you are called for test because you might never be called at all

Inteldeji:
So in waiting for the next step ,would you advice applicants to prepare for a CBT which is also a possibility?

if you want to prepare fine prepare..it doesn't make sense to start spreading information like you are part of the recruitment team..are you saying AM and Officer 1 (level 9) would write test? I really don't get

Zirah:
Haha. I love sarcasm. But really you tried to help the guy he just didn't get it. And rather than admit that, he kept saying "I know". Even when he clearly said he didn't know CBT, he still said "I know " >:

madam i know what CBT is and I know various companies that perform various test on behalf of companies but the guy doesn't know it takes millions of naira to perform test on behalf of companies so why is he assuming on behalf of FIRS like he is part of the HR department....they said interview....just wait for the next step and stop spreading false information
