bruce you're the man. i hail oh! we're too small to advice you, you know what you want, GO for it! but do you by any chance know the criteria used to select those that are to start training on Monday?

anyway guys you've heard what he said. it's now over to us to use our time wisely. heard another training school batch will start on the 17th in ofada (ogun state abi?). let's stay prepared and keep our fingaz crossed.

@berni: nice to see another Jos hopeful, we're not many in here.

***patiently, impatiently waiting***

I'll advice you to write that of GTB. wrote Nigerian breweries last year and the organization was super f*cked. all candidates from across the federation writing in one venue. it'll become first come first serve and the timing will not be followed.

study really hard for the gtb and be composed. the job there is far better than being an over worked bus driver (sales agent) with Nigerian breweries.

oride:
my people, i have been invited for both the gt bank and nigerian breweries tests on the same day, the 1st of march. though the time schedule for both exams are quite apart (Nigerian breweries 8am and gt bank 1:30pm), i'm confused because the mail sent to me by gt bank says that we should be prepared to spend all day with them, does my day with them start from 1:30pm or is really ALL DAY. i need someone to help me out. Thanks and all the best.

seems IBPLC are on some end of the year financial statement ish. so the earliest they might have time for us is second week of march. patience brethren.

that was really deep. it's all good, do your thing. peace!

no long thing, tell the what they wanna hear (just like you do when you're trying to "plait" a girl's hair) and they'll hire you .

you're all over nairaland, good thing. but i see that you're American, why then do you love Nigeria and nairaland so much? what other websites are you so engrossed in apart from nairaland? thanks.

yes i do

are you big, large or fat?
do you reside in Abuja?
have you got a minimum qualification of an SSCE certificate?

FIXing one's MIND INto OTHER THINGS FOR THE TIME BEING definitely is the way to go, but it's easier said than done especially when you've given your life to intercontinental,

e b like say i go track you down for ABJ make we dey bash that game cube together, but PS2 soccer for better sha.

ok so lets say they take people up in batches. what criteria do you think they'd use in the screening, interview scores abi? yeah i know about the waiting thing last year, but the process has been somehow fast tracked this time around (especially as per we jos candidates) and from feelers we're getting we strongly believe in march.

damn it really sucks to be planning one's life around an IBPLC call. banks and their recruitment length sef

@pappycus: so you're ABJ representing/ cool. i guess you're also part of the ABJ regional recruitment. yeah the family thing is true amongst most banks. but we from Jos region ain't waiting no 3 weeks more, we've been good since January 18th! (when we did our interview and medicals). i strongly believe we'll be called next week.

.

eya sorry oh. the rumour was really strong. told a couple of peeps about it but they declined the offer sha (guess my a-s-s is saved).

Intercontinental Bank Plc has trained and recruited 42 fresh northern graduates, with a view to creating more employment opportunities for fresh graduates in the region and improving customer service efficiency of the bank.

The training, which, according to the bank, is first of its kind conducted by the bank in its Kano Training School, is not only aimed at enhancing customer service delivery but also aimed at creating employment opportunities for people of the region.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the executive trainees graduation, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Mr Erastus Akingbola, who was represented by the Executive Director, Operations, Alhaji Sheriff Yusuf, said the recruitment of staff of northern extraction would further improve the bank's activities in the north and give room to providing employment in the north.

He said the executive trainees have undergone a rigorous training that has exposed them to the rudiments banking industry, adding the quality of the training given by the bank is 'first class training that can make them conquer the challenges inherent in the banking sector.'

While urging them to be committed to their tasks, he said that the bank's watchword is "I can do it", and whoever tries to stand out among his peers, according to the banks ED, he would be adequately rewarded.

He however noted that the recruitment is an ongoing process, as they are ready to double the number of the executive-training graduands as they have more branches currently under construction. He added that he would use the medium to call on the government agency responsible to forward the CVs of qualified graduates for the management's consideration.

The executive director further stated that the bank is deeply committed to corporate social responsibility, which is exemplified by the numerous projects it did to its host state, reveling that the bank would continue with the gesture.

Responding, the state governor, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, who was represented by the state Head of Service, Alhaji Rabi'u Zakariyya, thanked the bank for the gesture of employing many Kano State indigenes and its commitment to its social responsibility, which according to him, earned the bank prestige and respect in the eyes of the state government.

He added that the state government has noted with much delight the bank's numerous initiatives, one of which is the provision of employment opportunities to the state's graduates, saying government will continue to support the bank and also maintain its cordial relationship with the bank.

While presenting certificates to the executive trainee graduands, a member of the bank's board of directors, Alhaji Isyaku Umar Tofa, congratulated them for "joining the Intercontinental family", adding that the bank rewards hard work, dedication to service and probity.

@guyman2: the issue is not "starting or commenting on threads" but "starting or commenting on Intercontinental bank plc threads" as if that's all your life is centered around.

by the way I'm not the enemy.

.

guy honestly your head dey house so? how many threads will you open or comment in just about this same issue. supposing at the end you're not called for training, you go die? abeg leave matter, i and lots of others are in the same boat too but we don't go about "defacing" nairaland.

take a chill pill.

i must admit this info is scary. to be dropped (apparently) after medicals implies, ?

@larryoncol: yeah matured is the term, interpret it how you wish and give her a call. think of it as a job interview question.
@missylizzy: yeah seek and you shall find.

guys long thing dey oh! information made known to me points to training school call coming in in the last week of Feb or early March. we Jos peeps that have been waiting since Jan 18th will have to wait a little more. so you all had better grab a book, sit back and relax, just make yourself useful till then and stay out of trouble. cheers.

@Delyte: i'm not shaking sha cos it seems you're the only one that has been waiting that long (although i know last year's recruitment was long. enugu center wrote test around march and went for training around sept). have you previously deffered a call to training school?

the rest of us here wrote the test in November (including valacious; he was called for medicals) and we're hopeful of a late Feb/early march call. cheers.

from my client:

I'm a matured lady in need of a matured guy (28 and above) for the valentine period. you can reach me on 08080587594, 07033015332 or 08072840615.

georgee:
i graduated frm UNILAG (B.Sc MET&MAT ENGINEERING) in 2004, went for NYSC in march 2005 and finished feb 5th 2006. Since then a been job hunting;applying,writing aptitude tests and interiews without success,
a written over 30 apt tests with BANKS(IBTC,Skye,1st bank,GTB,Diamond,UBA,Ecobank,Access bank,Intercontinental bank,FCMB)
Guiness,P&G,UAC,Nigerian breweries,Sahara Energy, and many more,

i don't mean to be harsh or anything but for you to have written over 30 apt test and still be without a job then your head truly no dey house. job opportunities are in your hands, it's left for you to grab em. if you studied like your life depended on it there's no reason why you shouldn't pass simple GMAT. it's all about practice! again if you keep messing up after 30 interviews than there definitely is something wrong in your personality. start rereading the interview handbooks. abeg help yourself. good luck!

you said

I have been wondering what the call was all about because am expecting an invitation or call from them to resume training since I 've completed my recruitment processes last year

. abeg no make man pikin fear oh. we in Jos completed our own processes about 3 weeks ago and we're hopeful of a February call. don't tell me it takes that long? by the way where did you do your test, interview and medicals?
