Having worked in the banking industry for many years,I am delighted to share my experiences with the up coming bankers

1. It is not easy getting a job in the banks nowadays as a result of the dwindling economic situation.However it is compulsory for banks to recruit new hands because banks retrenched workers regularly.Major recruitment in to banks nowadays are on contract basis.The pay package is not as attractive as for permanent staff. The pay packages for a graduate at entry level ranges from N250k to N,300k per month for permanent staff and 40k to N60k for temporary staff.Banks does not discriminate academic disciplines, In fact majority of my colleagues who are bank managers are science graduates

You need to have an insiders, not necessarily a top management staff it could even be a teller or security man who will volunteer information on pending recruitment.Majority of the recruitment exercise are never advertised publicly.

You must learn how to prepare a CV that followed the stipulated patterns if you are to be contacted for test and interview.Majority of the questions will be quantitative reasoning,logic,...In short GMAT.Also familiarise yourself with happenings in economic and political environment.

If you are lucky to get a banking job,the employer will train you on all aspect of the job.We have many departments.The departments are categorised under under two broad headings,namely Marketing and Operation

Your salary will not be paid to you embloc at month end.You will receive sum amount upfront and the remaining monthly.This explains why many bankers are always broke...to be continued

Which mumu opportunity? Banking is not a job, at best use it as a stop gap for better opportunities. I fired my bank years ago and I have been happy since then.

why call someone you don't know a lier over an issue you don't have idea of?
ask questions if you find something strange rather than calling him a lier. by calling him a lier, u just expose your level of ignorance of the banking sector. the guy is right about the salary range for a core staff.

Liking this already.

All jobs are overated. The way they are painted outside is not the way you'd see it when you get in. The most important things is passion. Once you're passionate about what you do, then you would find no disappointment whatsoever.

Banking is a useless job. Hire today, fire tomorrow. If you had put the whole 25 years you spent working 7am to 8pm passionately in your business, you would have been a billionaire. You are just fulfilling another man's dream.

Time is greater than money because it cannot be reversed! After some time they would retire you and you become clueless looking for what to do with your life and investing your retirement funds in fruitless ventures till your broke. Your children will graduate and start roaming the streets looking for job without you having a business to hand down to them to manage. A very terrible vicious cycle.

I wasted my 5years in the bank.

Chai! That banker girl for my street wey dey form, I don get her unlock code today.

Keep up with the message of working for another man and fulfilling his dreams while you remain jobless. it reminds me of the same story GNLD and others tell to make you part with money .
He was diligent and upright and survived 25 whole years in an institution so he's to be respected compared to your being your whole boss crap yet so broke campaign
