Who else got this! Guys don't fall! However, let others view and comment. OLUCOLLINSCONSULTING GROUP C h u r c h g a t e T o w e r s, V i c t o r i a I s l a n d – L a g o s S t a t e. working paper Dear Associate, This is to acknowledge the receipt of your application in respect of ATM Specialist job advertised by our consulting firm on Tuesday 12th August, 2014. You are reading this letter because our client has conceded to the fact that every applicant should be given a fair chance to prove themselves. Nevertheless, we observed a lot of irregularities in the documents sent to us by some applicants. Despite this marching order given to us by our client, we still went ahead to disqualify about ten percentage of the total application received. In our opinion, these applicants are not ready for employment at all. Their presentation was below any acceptable standard. Even secondary school students dare not present such documents and expect to pass WAEC examination! Those kinds of people will give us problem during the selection process. If we are to be very strict in following the laid down rules and regulations, we are not sure if we can get up to half of the two hundred applicants needed. This is a very sad development indeed. Yet people complain of scarcity of job and the few jobs available, most graduates are either not qualified or ill prepared. Let us be honest with ourselves, go back to your documents sent to us and assess yourself based on the following indices: Did you follow the instruction to use a particular caption as subject of your e-mail to us? Did you write a formal cover letter applying for the specific position we advertised or you just forwarded your CV to us as one of the numerous organisations you did similar thing to? Is your CV comprehensive and presentable – devoid of typographical errors? From the documents sent to us, are you sure you are qualified for the post you applied for based on the requirements specified in the advert? Mind you, we are not university; we want people who can be shown a process within few days and are independent thereafter. Do you think you can pass our science-based aptitude test if you are asked to take it? For instance, many did not follow a simple instruction on how to reply us – USE THE TITLE OF OUR ADVERT AS SUBJECT OF YOUR MAIL. Some sent applications not meant for us, while some wrote long epistles as cover letter which we are not prepared to read. Phone numbers were missing in the CV of some and we observed a lot of typographical errors such as spelling, the use of small letters where capital letters should have been used e.t.c. If we are to do the right thing, no matter how good you are, we should have disqualified you from onset once you fail to follow our rules. You can see what we are passing through as Consultants dealing with “graduates” not primary school pupils. You can equally see why so many graduates apply for job and did not get reply! Mind you, we have not seen your face to see whether you are fine. Neither had you spoken to us to know whether you speak good English. The only thing we rely upon at this stage to assess you is the quality of your presentation. Your cover letter and CV represent you in our bid to access you. Once these are not well prepared, it’s like presenting yourself in a rag before a panel. Your document is like product package (label, carton, packet, wrapper etc). If the package is not attractive to the eye, nobody will care to pick it from the shelf even if the product is found to be good. For instance, the packaging of ORIJIN bitter drink from Guinness is too attractive to be ignored; yet the product itself might be worse than others in that category. However, our client has given us the go ahead to subject all applicants to test and how to write cover letter and CV will form part of what we will be doing during the test process coming up within the next forty-five days. In the meantime, we are working on the logistics implication of the order given to us by our client either to conduct the aptitude test at our Victoria Island office in Lagos or concurrently in all state capitals across the country. You will be duly informed very soon on the modalities for the conduct of the test. Nevertheless, if you are interested you can e-mail us later under the caption REWRITE MY CV & COVER LETTER to enable us render this service to you at a token. We have done similar thing for several applicants in the past and most of them are employed today. We are not in any way pre-empting the outcome of this current exercise, but it is good to know how to do the right thing which most Employers/Human Resources firms are looking for. Even if you are successful in this exercise, you might still need to apply sometimes in the future if the offer is better. Our client asked us to employ capable people with high intelligent quotient who will be stationed at each branch of the bank attending to customers’ problems on ATM related issues and enlightening them in the process. Before the specialist can be certified to carry out these functions, they must be trained for the job by our client’s partner – a leading ATM installation firm based in Lagos. With more than twenty thousand (20,000) ATM machines deployed across the country, there is need for bank customers to get the best out of its usage. This is more important now that the country has been experimenting cashless banking technology since 1st July, 2014. Most of bank customers are not very conversant and in most cases very frustrated with the operations of these machines and fraudsters do capitalize on this and use it to their advantage. So ATM fraud is a big problem in Nigeria today. Everybody talk about it and the media is not left out in their commentaries and articles (see and read Vanguard newspaper of 17th March, 2014; The Punch newspaper of 6 th May, 2014 and The Punch newspaper of 25th August, 2014.) all to no avail. The bank must rise up to the challenge of checking the activities of fraudsters if they are to remain in business. As cashless banking technology advances so too do the fraudsters. They have become so clever in the crime that we need to upgrade our strategy in order to protect and retain our customers. The good news is that more ATM fraudsters will go down as more people get to know the latest safeguarding technology being deployed through these trained specialists. Our client – a second generation bank is partnering with a leading ATM installation firm to protect and enlighten the masses through there ATM customer care specialists to be trained. A more robust manual will be developed at the end of the training. This manual will be mass produced and distributed to our customers free of charge. There are sacrifices you must make to be among those to be trained. Yes! You must be sharp and be able to pass our aptitude test before you can be selected. The beauty of the selection process is that it will be transparent. You can’t believe it, your handset (not necessarily the expensive type) will be part of the tools we will use to test you during the oral interview. Ordinarily, we should have requested for certified customer services specialists, but the cost of getting certification from leading training organizations like Customer Service Academy, Learning Solutions Nigeria etc cannot be less than one hundred thousand naira (N100, 000). As far as we are concerned, this amount may be beyond the reach of many applicants. Yet their training might not be tailored towards our requirement. So we have come up with a more subtle and economical way to get our recruits certified by us to our taste by offering them free training by our client’s partner. Yet all this come with a price. It is worth to note that if you are successful in this exercise, you will be engaged as a contract staff of our client’s partner but attached to a branch of the bank of our choice. A comprehensive guide on how to take the online aptitude test will be sent to your e-mail address within the next forty-five days. We are not unaware of the fact that most graduates in Nigeria today are unemployable. So we want to subject all applicants to vigorous screening exercise to fish out the best (employable ones) out of them. In the meantime, our client’s partner has recommended a well researched book written by a renowned Automated Teller Machine Engineer - THEODORE SCOTT. Most of the questions in the test will be drawn from the book. This book must be read by all applicants in order to take the aptitude test. Purchase of the book is therefore compulsory because it will increase your chance of being selected if you read and understand the content of the manual in readiness for the aptitude test. If you can get this book from your local bookshop, hurry now and buy it. It is available in most reputable bookshops in the country. But if you find it difficult to get it, we can arrange for a copy to be sent to you within forty-eight hours of receipt of your payment. The cost price of the book is One Thousand, Five Hundred Naira only (N1, 500). Just add the sum of one thousand naira only (N1, 000) for the cost of courier if you are in Lagos or One Thousand, Five Hundred Naira only (N1, 500) for the cost of courier if you are outside Lagos. Pay the total sum into the account particulars stated below within the next seven working days to enable you read and digest properly the book on time ahead of the test. Bank : First Bank Plc Account No : 3086841187 Account Name : OLU COLLINS CONSULTING Please note that we are only doing this to fasten the process – we are not a bookshop. In order to still fasten the dispatch of your manual after payment, kindly send the scanned teller, full house address (including the nearest bus stop), full name, and phone number to our e-mail address using the caption PAYMENT and the book will be sent to you. The essence of this is to be double sure because most banks don’t alert customers immediately a transaction is completed. Please ensure you check your e-mail inbox and spam box on daily basis to get update on the recruitment process. You can also phone us for further clarification. The address of our client has been conspicuously hidden because we don’t want any influence from any bank officials in the discharge of our duty. We assure you that once you can pass our interview process – aptitude test and oral interview – you will be employed. Please feel free to contact the undersigned for further information or clarification. Yours faithfully, For: OLU COLLINS CONSULTING GROUP DR. OLUGBEMIGA FALADE Managing Partner Lagos - Nigeria. olucollinsconsulting@gmail.com Tel: 09023645012. |
