jdbabzy: I observed some things:
Some of us on here are hoarding information. All we do here is to watch this space and refuse to add things we know wud help others as well; but we stay on here so we cud keep ourselves abreast on all the latest developments and happenings.
I think this shdnt be the case. Someone might have left Kogi state or ibadan today to come all the way down to lag so he/she wudnt be left out of d exercise, yet someone here (an onlooker) wud jes keep watching dis space and not give d helpful information that such an one has.
Let us all contribute whatever useful info we have. Let's share it in dis forum. U do not know what d next guy/lady here wud divulge if u wud jes share what u know.
It wud be very useful to say at dis juncture that those who've been predestined to get this job wud surely get it. This postponement is a blessing to someone who's been preordained for this and who wud have missed it if this hadn't happened.
My point is this: whether or not u choose to share ideas here, if the job is yours den it's urs. And if it isn't den hoard all u know "so as not to help others do better than urslf", it still wouldn't make it urs.

My good friend, when u get to Enugu park, board a taxi cab or bus to State Fire Service, on reaching there stop and ask of Fbn training Sch, Nwodo Close within d GRA. The street is opp d fire service. Walk dwn to d end of d street, u'll certainly get to where u are going. U can even rest there @d academy's lodge ahead b4 ur interview date and even eat sumptuous meals. Just be polite to introduce urself to d staff there, then u are gud to go. This was my experience last year there. Gud luck! 1 Like |

Re: First Bank Graduate Trainee Recruitment From May 16-30, 2013-apply Now!!! by xtanburg: 1:56am On Oct 25, 2013 |
@ 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. 17 Likes 1 Share |

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

Pls censor ur questions as I won't answer all. Thank you so much, Im most grateful. I have a few questions though: 1.) Do the group members get to pick the person saddled with the task of taking notes during the discussion or is it a volunteer thing? If its a volunteer thingy and more than one person opt for the task, who handles the situation (Pls dont tell me dat letting another volunteer go ahead with the task is rated as good team spirit ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) ). 2.) Are succesful persons assembled in controlled environments for the personality test or is it an online do-at-home assessment?? Thanks once again for your trouble. |

@Dynssy... Well, opting to do d documentation on behalf of d team, may be likened to u being open and ready to take responsibility. Another plus 4 u tho, but its nt a guarantee 4 u oo if u no contribute in d discussion, u might loose points and not be selected. I can remember during my AC d bloke that volunteered to write on behalf of d team didn't make it. We were 6 in d team and twas only two persons in my group that made it thru. So u cld opt to assist d team, but bring in ur A game and contribute in d discussion.
Secondly, d Personality test will be administered to U in ur own comfort zone(ur home or office). A link will be sent to u and twill be timed.
Hope this helps...
Regards |
