gaphary: Lool. Abuja people just lock up.

astevee: Abj peeps,nna na wetin happen now? Y d silence,una no wan share una AC experience? Mk una tell us how e go now.smh

Dynssy: Abuja people locked up?? U shd atleast get ur facts straight b4 saying hateful things. If u read up d thread, u'll find dat abt 3 of us shared our experiences with d house.

Its very important that we say things dat foster unity instead of creating divide. We'll all make it and meet up in training sch and become evn better friends without geograhical boundaries getting in d way, Amen.

All d best to dos yet to hv their ACs.

jdbabzy: @Shenkron thank you for ur kind words. I did what I had to do; its what helped some of us get d best outta d university system. Like I said before, those God has prepared for this job wud surely get it; whether or not pple fill dem in on how their ACs went or not.
Indeed the race is not to the swift, it is of the Lord who showeth mercy even to d most unqualified of us.

That's a reason why someone like @Dfavouredone's story goes to still prove that God is in the business of taking care of His own. My sister God will also grant u favour in ur AC tomorrow.

God bless us all!!!

jdbabzy: If my memory serves me well, they said they have enuf room for as many people; they jes need to use dis assessment to determine if we all have what it takes to be FirstBankers.

xtanburg: @ all, I've been reading thru ds thread, quite interesting but
Lemme share with U my experience @ d FBN AC.

First of all, congrats to all who got the sms invite to the assessment centre, don't rejoice yet cus there is more shreading to b done, they r still gonna slect d best of d best. So listen carefully and follow my precept line by line. FBN might not tk more dan 100-250 new trainees nationwide. So b guided

Once U get to d AC,U'll go thru d accreditation stage. After accreditation, U will take another aptitude test, but more likened to an ability test where u'll have to think thru the scenario and choose answers from the options provided.

After which u will be divided into groups and then u'll be given a scenario to discuss with ur group. Don't argue or shout any1 down, nor interrupt, make sure U give points and make reasonable sense, don't repeat ur suggestions or findings. Smile while responding and if its possible, be the one to take down points and be concise about it, as the supervisor will ask that u submit ur findings on behalf of ur group.

Then an "addendum" will be given which u'll have to read thru to prepare ur slide. U shouldn't have more than 6-10slides, bur make it detailed if u can use animations to drive ur points from the addendum given, good one also. Pls note that u will be given 15mins to prepare ur slide and 5mins 2 present it. Remember while u r discussing with ur team, read ur addendum n note ur points. Then u'll butteress on ur point in ur slide presentation. Don't write stories, just give bullet points then explain thats why its called a powerpoint presentation. Be confident and bold, smile and focused, be sure of whatever point u make, even when they counter U and say u r wrong,always reinsist that to d best of ur own knowledge and how its obtainable(relating to ur addendum) that's wat u think. And remember to intoduce urself and what u r presenting and den thank d panel @ d end of ur presentation. Then remember don't stutter or sound unsure, twill count against U. Remember its 5mins 4 presentation and 20mins 4 preparing ur PPslide. Pls be confident ooooooo. Its germaine. And pls be calm and breatheeeeee, hold ur breathe and control ur pulse, anxiety and over excitement.

After d presentation, u'll go thru d interview stage, ds u'll b asked ur strenght, weakness, whr uv held a leadership role, wat process improvement idea do u have, ur level of creativity, alwaz remember to say u r a good team player, and u most prove and explain whr and how u were active as a team member and a team player. If u fit lie, lie ooo, nobody go ask U if na true or na lie, what is ur passion, why firstbank, why do u think we shld hire U, then know stuffs about FBN generally and read different interview questions.

Then after u r done for dat day. A week later u'll get an sms and email inviting u for a personality test. Then after answering it,u'll be sent an sms to update ur location, that whr u choose whr u wanna work, after which u'll wait as the whole process will be computed u must have a certain percentage score b4 u'll be invited to training sch, dats getting the almighty sms from FBN inviting U 4 medicals and training sch. So now yam and knife dey una hand.

I was at the assessment centre last year, made it to the training sch and FBN. Training sch was another interesting place. Quite Intensivvvvvvvvvvvvvve but fun. But above all prepare, prepare and prepare and pray pray pray as much as U can. Commit all to God and ask 4 favour. No overdo, remember overskill dey kill monkey.

Respectfully,
Xtanburg

Wish u all success and the best. Cheers

In addition, pls note that U shld try and prepare for essay writing also, garnish urself with the trends happening in d Nigerian Banking system and financial sector. Its the new trend in assessment centres, nt sure if workforce/FBN will adopt dat style. Bur its rather u prepare 4 d worse dan taken unaware.

Hope this helps. But on d whole, do Have a great one peeps...
Lemme know if u have any questions, and as soon as I'm free 2 respond, I'll fill d house in. Pls censor ur questions as I won't answer all.

einstein_e: Next month? Lol. Babe, the recruitment process would still be on by December.

Godysien: My dear friend, if u are gud in computer already, why not make out time to learn power point shortly 4rm a smart person within few days to achieve what u want in life. If u fail to perfect ur presentation on ur day, well, u'll likely be on + or -. This affected most of my friends i knw. So go and pay d sacrifice. Gud luck!

mobolas: Got same too.
We shall all be there one day.

Godysien: Congrats to the would-be fbn colleagues! Pls note that Assessment Centre Exercises normally takes bw 8 to 10 hours of intensive activities for each set, so tighten ur belt well. Corporate dressing is basically required, so go, get, iron and package ur suit well for ur day. Exercises include: paper basd test, oral interview, group task, individual task and finally presentation of ur task using power point. Pple do fail @ this stage, while others do also fail @ either d doc/med screening stage and Training School finally. Note: if u are using Neco u are @ a higher risk, while Waec is d gogo- u knw what i mean(DOB being carried by Waec cert is the magic). It is not that fbn doesn't accept Neco, but delay is pre-eminent. Pls don't pm me. Just ask ur reasonable questions on this platform. Wishing u success @ d remaining stages of ur career pursuit!

4llerbuntu: is this your usual account?

u must be r.e.ta.rded since calling people names like "thick" appears to be a compliment in your dictionary.

this is the 4th account i have identified with u on NL..... immature loudmouthed dolt. ur too ashamed to use just one to demonstrate your abundant idiocy shey?

4llerbuntu: My admin officer got marketed and plunked money on this device

he brought it to me for admiration. can't bring myself to knock him, iv been lying through my teeth




this device cannot do hardware video decoding....(Mediatek no dey get GPU? sad)

had to use MXplayer and chose software decoding to play a HD mp4

truth be told, u can see the pixels on the screen.

if u know whats good for u dont ever remove d protector.



sound..... as long as there are other similar (to tecno) devices with better sound, that excuse does not fly.

stop settling for rubbish just because u think they are doing u a favour.

thats how gionee put a 720P screen in ther own fone and sell it for...... less yet u r kissing tecno's arse


just change d launcher too. the one on it is all shades of rubbish

enable developer mode and remove animations. limit background processes to 3 or it will slow down when u install apps

DO NOT force gpu rendering.. Im just laughing here. only God sabi whaich kain tweaks dem apply wey dis thing dey benchmark those scores.


If this is your 1st device or u haven't used a top end one, i can see why u would like it.......
if not, LAILAI!! never
