I'm just hoping on God.... My last assessment. After launch we're ask to proceed on 10mins break before our group exercise. Then an uproar started in my belle, I couldn't hold it and rushed to the loo to empty myself. I thought I was still in time but when I got to the lobby, everywhere was dead empty. Rushed back to the AC room and the exercise was 4 mins underway. I did my best to fit in, gave some useful contributions and actively participated from the point I was put in line but the assessor said I and one other basically did nothing. It was a low point for me.
Meanwhile my mind told me to keep the foodpack till game over. Hmm! From 8am - 7pm but there was enough chocolate and water to sustain me. Lesson!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this firstbank in high hopes.
Congrats to you guys in advance.

How can you ask such question here, its a banking job n the corporate world. I don't think anyone will be strict on dressing, but, if you need the job, better go on corporate, preferably formal coloured suit.
Otherwise, you can go with your traditional wears too.

Oga have u passed the AC first?? Do u know how to prep PowerPoint slides? Have u practiced ur numerical and logical reasoning? Do u know how group tasks work? These are what you should be worried about. Except you don't want the job which will be better for some of us sef. Less competition.
