@Xtanburg, ur effort on this forum is greatly appreciated. Keep on the good work. Thank you. God bless u!

I had my ac in Enugu on 29. They've already said it all. Best wishes to everyone of us!

Happinext: expect scenerio based questions mainly based on True, False, cant say. about 20 questions to be answered in 15 mins.
its simple, but just be fast. dont waste time on calculation as u can come back to ans them later if u still have time.

more to come

You mean the test or scenario exercise could involve calculations, which type, pls?

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.

GOD BLESS YOU!

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!

Pls, the date of birth which I have on my recently collected WAEC cert (which was wrong), is different from that which I filled in the FBN application (which is correct). I neva had a birth cert, but I have a court age declaration wit d proper DOB I filled during application. Hope I can sail through? Advise, please.

jimmy74: I have been applying for GE jobs since 2008 without any call for interview until this year, precisely in may, I received a call for interview and so far have attended up to five stages of interviews so far (the last been 2 weeks ago) and the hiring process still ongoing. I have been told through a couple of my guys working there that it may take up to a year plus. However, I would like to state that,
1, Not all successful candidates have a foreign degrees, though, its easy to acquire a foreign degree after joining them.
2, It is true that, their hiring process is lengthy, not favorably to a jobless applicant as he may tend to give up on them.
3, The job itself is worth all the pains and struggles as the condition of service is superb.
Therefore, I would like to encourage all intending applicants to apply as you can never tell when your stars will shine.

Jimmy, pls fill us in on the details of the 5 interview stages. Thank u so much 4 ur help.

I've applied. My HR status says 'resume is currently being reviewed'. Pls more house members should apply. And remember to feed us with ur updates.

ReStart the application with the LINK sent to you in an email you got after the online test. Should work.

blazerMaks: please guys, did you get any confirmation mail when you uploaded your cv? my job page still says 'complete online submission' even after I submitted my cv.

The proper link to complete your application is the one given in you email. After that, log in back later and you'll see d status changed to completed.

prof86: For those dat have uploaded their cv and fil work experience page, please how were u able 2 fil d space 4 d company u have worked wit because d name of d company i filled didn't match their options. Am required 2 fill dat space..
