Hello bankers, my name is Dupe and i work with an IT firm that runs an online auction website know as wazaba.com

Its unfortunate that the task as a banker does not give you the time to relax and enjoy the money you worked for but at
the moment we can only pray that things get better or should we begin a revolution Here , lol

Well, wazaba is here to help solve part of the difficulty you might be experiencing getting good stuff for your domestic, occasion or office use.

At wazaba.com people buy and sell different items online using a buy now or auction system and have it delivered at their doorstep. So you don't
have to worry any more about taking time off to shop. Simply log on to wazaba.com and order your needs and who say BANKERS can't sell too.
You can earn extra cash as a banker selling on wazaba.

email info@wazaba.com on how to get started.

the toughest dept in banking as far as i am concerned is cash management where u will have to move cash for your bank from one city to the other,consider the risk and the stress

My ex was banker, it contributed a lot to the dissolution of our relationship. We hardly saw each other and most of the times he's always stressed out when we finally get to be together. Abeg i no fancy that job jare. For y'all looking to get a better job, probably outside Nigeria's shores, I'll suggest you use the services of CV distribution agencies like www.blackcv.com .I got my job in S.A through them.

Nmadili:

I am suprised that the issue of the Zenith Banker that has made away with more than N7.5Billion Naira never hit nairaland radar

Maybe u missed the thread

I have a million and one complains about being a banker. The huge expectations from your family and friends, your customers' pressure, the targets, the environment, even the pay.

But hey, its better than staying at home. If u don't believe, try it out for yourself. I'll forever be grateful to God for making me a Firstbanker.

Some key Interview Questions in Banks, oil and Gas / Blue-Chips Co.

House, I received calls asking for more information regarding banks interview which I need to explain more. Let's be guided.

Basically it’s classified into two types.

1. EXPERIENCED (Marketing, Control, Operations staff)

2. NEW INTAKE / GRADUATE TRAINEE

You can be asked in banks / company interview and be ready.

With the permission of the authors we’ve prepared list of 25 potential interview questions out of the 80 possible questions taken from the three Books / CD’s / DVD’s:

Product #2: Oil and Gas Industries recruitments secrets, earn BIG pay every month.

Product #3: How to secure your dream jobs in communications industries and Blue-chips companies / Multinationals

Key points to NOTE:

1. Be well dressed and don’t go late

2. Pay attention to questions 6, 7, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 24 because they DETERMINE your pay / position to offer you.

For example, if you are a BANKING OFFICER ask for ASSISTANT MANAGER or FULL MANAGER and try to justify it by telling them your prospects and contacts to bring them more businesses

3. If you know something about credit / loan processing tell them as part of your skills

4. REMEMBER question 25, due to CBN re-structuring they may needs officers that can recover bad loan, so take note of what you can do in that aspect.

A big question to Bankers (Preferrably with more than 2yrs experience).

Do you guys get paid for going to work or you get paid for working?

Well I joined the banking sector from I.T sector like 3 months back and if I will make comparison, people in the IT and telecoms work their ass out whereas what I see in the banking sector is eyeservice and people exerggeration of work done. Could it be that am missing something here.

A big question to Bankers (Preferrably with more than 2yrs experience).

Do you guys get paid for going to work or you get paid for working?

Well I joined the banking sector from I.T sector like 3 months back and if I will make comparison, people in the IT and telecoms work their backside out whereas what I see in the banking sector is eyeservice and people exerggeration of work done. Could it be that am missing something here.

Yes and No.
I can not compare to other industries because I only worked in Banking in Naija. Some departments are laid back and coasting is allowed, but some departments are like work till you quench. I can see IT folks coasting but not operations people. So it depends on your department, that said, eyeservice is king in Banking.
If your work load is lighter right now, I advice you to do something meaningful with your time and not get trapped in the mentality of this work will last forever.

Leighcon, i guess the previous poster has pretty much answered ur question. I'd add that it pretty much depends on ur unit and possibly region. If you're still in i.t, you'd probably find that the saying 'if it ain't broke,don't fix it' works true for u and you'd be idle for some periods. On the other hand,if de bank decides to upgrade or use some new app,you've got your work cut out for u at that time. This is why some banks now outsource most of their i.t work. But brother,if you're in operations,and you claim you're laidback,you're sitting on a timebomb with a VERY short fuse. Still welcome to the fray compadre.

Hello evry1.i have to submit a project on any bank product or service dat would be appreciated by the customers but also add to the profitability of the bank.I need help from any1

@yodiyokun and darqly

I quite agree with you that the operations guys are usually the busiest. If you will agree with me, you will equally realise that operations work is more of routine and all it requires from you is to pay attention and be meticulous, I don't see problem solving. For other units as well there is rarely problem solving. And oh Lord for the guys in marketing save for the scary targets(which is challenging anyway) they have bunch of time in their hands.

Honestly campared to my previous background I don't see why a Gradute should be a teller and be paid N150k/M when an ND holder (Who will be paid lesser) can equally do the Job well while the gradute can also apply his/her skills elsewhere. Don't know if you guys are feeling me.

Leighcon, i felt that way exactly after 6mths doing debit and credit. I told my colleagues we were being overpaid and they laughed it off. So i moved on to where i felt i'd at least task myself though it still does get to be abit routine. U see,ideally we should be thinkin up new schemes,products or investment types that'll bring income to the bank and leave customers better off. But all our marketers are deposit-seeking predators that barely have the time to be interested in what can grow your biz and by implication,the bank's bottomline. Still,try not to limit yourself-if u figure out a way to better a process or render service optimally,share wit ur superiors and/or product devt team.

I cant post a site address due to rule, you can send an email to bkmglbrt69@gmail.com for information on banking jobs.
Email me if you have any infor.

@darqly,
What I found disheartening is that a lot of people are too concerned about the pay coming in at the end of the month to think of this. The truth is people are not adding up in skill which is why they work for years yet no quantifiable experience to leverage on.

pls can someone give me adetailed job description of a banker risk management and also a banker in credit

@harpo
Nomenclature and JD usually varies from organisation to organisation but on the usual, the credit guy is the business development guy who brings in the potential borrower of fund and of course manages the relationship between the borrower and the bank, the risk management guy however is concerned with assesment of risk in any lending or part funding by the bank.

Hope you caught some idea there.

Hello Bankers,

Please visit the thread below and kindly respond to it.
It is of concern to Bankers and Ex-Bankers.

The Problem With Nigeria`s Banking Sector?

Why are most bankers dissatisfied with their jobs?
It seems like the banking industry is becoming Nigeria`s most frustrating sector. Every day, one comes in contact with bankers who are full of woes about their jobs- `I`m just doing this job to pay the bills, I went for an interview yesterday, I want to change this job, I don`t even mind a pay cut,, etc.
`What, NLers, do u think is the reason behind this increasing discontent stemming from naija`s most sought after sector?

So much is being said for bankers

It's probably a lack of interest on the part of the staff. Most don't really want to be career bankers,they just sought employment and wound up there. But the pay is good so they stay and bitch and moan all day.

Interesting thread. Interesting topic, I'm an investment banker and worked in a "Bank of Newyork" and Lehman Brothers for years, Different work attitude and ethics all together.

my family member seriously needs a job

Any Vacancy for a year Industrial Training Attachment, I study computer science, Response to this will gladly be appreciated, Kindly help me.

Bankers

A banker is a fellow who lends you his/her umbrella when the sun is shining,but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.
