Hi guys. For those asking for details of the TS, its generally okay. Today was the first day so we didn't do much. One of the facilitators addressed us, talked about our dressing, examination, conducts and there was a question and answer session. Then we had a brief orientation on First Bank history, products, services, departments, etc. Then we had a tea break. After that we just discussed amongst ourselves as there was no facilitator on ground. Then we had lunch, and went home.

Very weird angle; but is it possible that they increased the TS allowance to 70k because of the Minimum wage increase from 18k to 30k and there may be accomodation?
Because I noticed that most banks this year increased their TS allowance.

Guys please can we rally around for this accommodation thing? Maybe rent a house or something. Especially those of us coming in from other states outside Lagos.

MKKO:
Some1 should answer this naa

Yes. I did my D & M in Enugu and I've received my TS mail.

This accommodation issue sha

Okay the TS mail has dropped, check your mail guys

evablazen:
If u still doubting 24th of June, then u are on a long thing. Start preparing ahead guys

Please stop disturbing us now.

JASPERJOSH:
Congratulations you are hereby advised to report for the firstbank training school. Having fulfilled the requirements. Endeavour to get your dress code ready. For the men red tie, blue ties with sky blue or white shirt with black suit. For the women black skirt and white. You are to report to the training school on 24th June 2019 .

trouble maker

JASPERJOSH:
According to the hrm guy I called he said first bank has not fixed a date for the training school. Disregard any rumour saying 24th June. For now it could be july. Thank you

Lmao

At this rate I don't even mind if TS is in August, I just need them to send an official mail bearing the date so at least I'll know whether to start buying suits or continue applying for other jobs. All this "HR reassured me that it's 24th" isn't helping matters. We need the mail abeg.

Tunesh:
Wow wow

Interesting and at the same time scary.

Just play your cards right, know when to exit if/when neccessary


Svelte98 thanks for digging out this thread

Exactly what I got from it too. I'm happy you enjoyed it.

@Svelte98
Thnks for sharing the link. Its really worth reading, trust me. U all shld read d whole 9 pages in d thread. Honestly, really worth reading.
Tnk u once again

Awwwnnn . I'm really glad you found it helpful.

ameh1314:
Thanks for sharing. I read through every page on the thread and I must confess it was really insightful and educating. Though, most of the comments paints the banking industry in a somewhat bad light, there are still positives to take from them. Thanks once again.

I'm really glad you gained something from it despite some of the negative comments. Like I said earlier on to someone else, yes, there are demotivating and negative comments, but there are still really good advice and lessons embedded in them. So just pick out the positive ones and you'll be fine.

ezzylee:
Thanks for this. Mine is too work in the banking sector for a few years and jet out. Unlike where i am currently, the IT department in a bank would give me exposure to more things than what I’m currently being exposed to over here.

you're welcome

mbukun:
Well, from my deductions, most people complaining were contract staff. The core staff had a kind of happy ending, so we are good to go �

I love your positivity

Read through till the end

AbahAbah:
the first two pages are de motivating tho.

I know but just keep reading. The thing is despite some of the "demotivating" comments, there are really good lessons and advice shared. So just focus on them.

While we're waiting for the TS mail to drop, I'll like to share a link to a thread that I stumbled on here on Nairaland. Its very insightful and its just 9 pages.

goldimx:
Nt wen ur t-fare exceed 14k monthly

Nawa oo. Lagos sha

Heartydude:
Its 70k without Accomodation. With accomodation will then be 56k. You are spot on.

Does that mean accomodation isn't compulsory? Because for that extra 14k most people may prefer to stay outside.

ameh1314:
I totally agree with you. Some folks still won't be ready even if they're given a year extension. This process has been on for long, no need to drag it any further.

exactly.

okaforlaw:
why is no one replying to this... or is it that nobody knows? please i really need to know

Maybe no-one knows the exact amount that's paid both during the TS and after the TS. You can also go through previous threads (2016) to read up any additional information you need. And yes there's accommodation; some people asked during documentation and it was confirmed. Read the previous pages and you'll see it. And from what I've read from previous threads, after TS you get a 2 weeks holiday and after that you pick up your offer/posting letter. Just read through past threads (2016 thread in particular).

Saimeritus:
Don't be self-centered here, you know some people has to tender resignation letters to their various organizations and also people coming from far places such as Sokoto and Kano needs adequate preparation.

He/she isn't been self centered, its the people that called to ask for an extension that are self centered here. While I agree that some people need to resign from their jobs, what about the others who don't have any jobs and have been waiting around for the TS mail so they can finally do something meaningful professionally? If you know you're not ready for the TS, no problem; but instead of asking for an extension, ask to be added to the next batch of TS. In that way you'll have enough time to resign and prepare adequately for the TS, while the ones who are ready can join the first batch. Its a win-win situation for everyone. The funny thing is that even with the new unofficial date (24th), some people still won't be ready, so imagine if they call again and ask for another extension to July probably. What happens then? HR will just keep shifting the date until EVERYBODY is ready. It doesn't make any sense.

tobasamuels:
The wait is always the worst part. Nothing is sure until the mail arrives, not reliable times from secret sources, not calculations based on previous threads, not even info from HR personnel. Everything is up in the air, sure bets become gambles too sure become long odds. Mails are refreshed a 100 times per hour and some log on with other computers to make sure village people haven't come in by night bus, others follow Nairaland thread like it was Jesus and they the 12 disciples. Data finishing at this point will initiate panic on a level that only coke fiends can relate with.
To be fair, there's very little that can be done about this feeling, anticipation is such a powerful emotion, looking forward to something makes you create fantasies of your reaction when you finally get what you want that sometimes when you finally get it, you had already plateaued at anticipation and the real thing doesn't compare.

What does all this have to do with TS dates, I have no clue, you see I was bored and I put down my thoughts. Because at the end of the day if I crace, they will replace me with a snap.

lmao we will be alright las las. Just take it easy

Good morning guys... I just called HR... He said he would have sent the mail yesterday but several people called and complained that 17th was too close... He said training school will now be 24th to allow people prepare and it is residential... He said he will send the mail either Friday or Monday
