Say what?

kemisho:
Pls I need urgent answer, my friend said she has gotten mail from first bank for interview

I stumbled upon this and I know someone might find it useful.


So here goes what you should know about the First Bank GT recruitment process:

1) The recruitment examination would probably be conducted by Dragnet.

2) The number of applicants would be so monumental as usual that it will become hard for them to select candidates other than raise the cut off.
3) The selection process may take around 4 weeks to 2 months.
4) During the selection, HR may screen for grade and where necessary experience.
5) Interviews at First bank are usually tough so you have to know what stuff you are made of
6) The first interview is with the HR personnel. There is a second interview where you meet with managers from the dept you will work with. A panel interview precisely.
7) After been successful at this two stages then you do medicals.

Likely interview questions:

a) Tell us about yourself, walk us through your resume
b) Kindly describe an experience where you work in a team and what impact you made.
c) Why did you chose banking? .i.e if your course is not banking related.
d) Most importantly, First bank asks a scenario based question. E.g, "How will you handle a situation if a colleague rough handles you or maybe slap you?".

Please anyone, I need GMAT practice question and answer.. Email:seohub554@yahoo.com

@ Structuralman hmmmmm..........

Sorry bro.

I guess I was lucky cos I had lotta 'easy' questions. *that's a strategy I forgot to add. pray for Goodluck - the 2010 GEJ type*

So I was lucky to get a compound interest question: rate of 10% for 5 years.
Estimated my answer, Selected something and moved on.

I know you are smart and you know strategies. Not denying that.
But dont say people CANT solve 50% of the quant cos you weren't able to.

Like I said earlier. It is not about solving. It is about choosing the correct option.

BTW how can you say the analytical/logical reasoning example I cited is in 'GMAT'? what kinda GMAT is that?

PS.: the sample questions used in my earlier post doesn't necessarily mean those were the questions I got.

See you at the top bro.

famosh:

Mr man, all these strategy you mentioned, I know them; I'm that smart (not being proud) & I used them & even more. But I'm still telling you that you can't solve 50% of the maths questions including with the so called strategy you think we don't know about except you're lucky with easier questions , and by easier questions, I mean the ones which are more difficult than the pie chart question you talked about. What do you do when you are unlucky (like me) to be given a lot of questions with options close enough to defy the strategy you think should almost always work? Or what do you do when you're freaking given a lot of questions with very long word problems? How do you do you manoeuvre that? Or how do you manoeuvre compound interest questions that you already tried to solve to the point where you arrive at decimals raise to power another decimal and the options aren't helping matters by being too close to manoeuvre?
For the analytical questions you talked about, they were the easiest & quickest to solve; everything dey GMAT.

I know what you mean bro, but when I say solve, I actually mean solving to a reasonable point where you can estimate the answer & not solving totally (nobody does that).

I also didn't mean the analytical questions you cited were in GMAT, I actually meant that anyone who studies GMAT a bit should have little problem with the questions. But you did well by saving people who do not have much time the stress of studying it by explaining the stuff.

Well you're right if you say I shouldn't generalize even when many applicants I know said the same thing; I forgot that we have some geniuses applying too, which includes you, I guess.

See you at the top too, bro. Although, I hope I make it for my preferred career path as this commercial world no be my first choice at all.

Hi Guys, I've been following this thread for a long while, and I find it rather baffling that you guys resort to bragging about your brilliance and intelligence in writing aptitude tests, in the guise of sharing relevant information to other applicants. From experience(After going through the recruitment stages for coys like KPMG, MTN, P&G, FMNPLC, Standard Chartered Bank,Sterling Bank, First Bank, Coronation Merchant Bank;all in the past 1 year), even though most coys have cutt-off marks, they still take the highest scorers irrespective of the number of individuals who pass the cutt off mark. So its not by your expertise in passing aptitude tests, but the score distribution amongst the total applicants.


Instead of this show-off which as a matter of concern, would trouble applicants on this thread who are already losing hope on success mails, or feeling intimidated, I rather, you, pray that you fall among the candidates selected for the next stage or share information concerning the next stage. FYI; Not all applicants nationwide are Nairalanders!!! In case you are getting so confident on getting a success mail as a result of negative feedbacks about the test on NL!

This is STAGE 1, there are @ least 3 More, before you can then, start dishing out advice to prospective applicants on how to land the job as you have done. So please lower your horns and do the needful. (As the saying goes, "the higher you go, The greater the fall".

I wouldnt want you to go mute when success mails start rolling in to successful

applicants (as is the case when NL's brag and are not invited for the next stage)...So please let the thread be used to share information and help people land their dream jobs.

I only talk when it's necessary...I just want to make common sense!!!

I hope my little excerpt helps!!! Wish Y'all the best!!!

famosh:

In the university, you're tested on the same questions (which, in most Nigerian schools, you pass based on how much you can cram & pour & not how intelligent you are or how critically you can think), but in the dragnet test, you're tested on different questions per person. Even if you're dull, you could be lucky to get kinder questions you're familiar with & you blast it. On the other hand, a smarter person might be unlucky to get questions more difficult questions or questions he isn't familiar with & does below average.

By the way, so you actually mean anyone that doesn't pass the test is dull? Since you're smart because you graduated from the university, I guess I should address you as dull if you fail to make it to the next stage, right?

Nigerians like long talk. Answer yes or no

If it is not luck " God's will ". If you fail a test it doesn't mean you are dull it only shows you dint study well or need to study more.

If you don't pass dragnet it doesnt mean you are dull that is why I asked if you passed through Uni by luck..

i got a mail from dragnet asking me to fill a form to be scheduled for test on 17th.....but i've not gotten feedback from them

How can I answer a yes or no to a very unintelligent question? Your question is supposed to be sarcastic & would only make sense as a shade which is why you see the likes. But this one wey you dey try make sense out of the nonsense question, I no understand again.

Very well said.

Bros, chill. I don't think anyone here is trying to brag about smartness or insinuating he's gonna score so high; you're misunderstanding things. A guy here posted useful strategy on how to increase one's chances of success in the aptitude test for people who haven't written yet. It doesn't mean he's bragging. Some people who haven't written the exam yet really appreciated his effort. He's way better & more unselfish than many here who choose to keep quiet about these things when some people who haven't written might need it.

The fear of being miscontrued = One reason I dont like talking on the forum.
Brag lohun lohun. What sha it profit a man?

If that is the way you see it, no wahala.

See you at the top bro.

Q2:153
O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.

Q33:3
And put your trust in Allah, and Sufficient is Allah as a Wakil (Trustee, or Disposer of affairs).

I don't know why but I just felt compelled to share them. These verses resonate in my head almost everyday.

In the end, we would all look back to this period and have a reason to give thanks (ISA).

When a test provider says "calculators are not allowed for this test", they wont set things that require it. Its that simple.

GBAM, I didn't want to talk before, but man you gave a good reply.
The thing is all those strategies and M16s and what have you are all cool and fun until you have close answer options like 44.67 and 45.23. Tell me how approximation wan help. The only thing approx can do for you is to reduce your options to maybe 2 or 3, but it can't give you the answer nor help you guess accurately. Those dragnet guys are smart/wicked. They would give you 2 very close options, lemme now see how your strategies go save you without a calculator. Though if we had a calculator sha, so men for they get like 90% for maths, cause those questions no too hard.
