Tips to passing First bank interview

I wish to use this medium to congratulate all u guys that made it in first bank aptitude test. Passing an aptitude test is just one of the stages in the recruitment exercise. As you are preparing for the interview, I want you to put into consideration the following:

{1} That competition is much and the slightest mistake is enough to disqualify one.

{2 }Go to the interview center an hour ealier than the stipulated time.

{3} make sure that you are properly dressed, the dress code ranges from { black suit, navy blue, grey etc with white long sleeve as well as a good tie to match}

{4} the interview is made up of two sections, in the first section four people will be given a topic to discuss within fifteen minutes e.g. {scourge of exam malpractice in our society, arm robbery operation in the banks etc}the essence of the interview is to look out 4 team players so try as much as possible to comport urselves.

{5} The second stage of the interview consist of only one interviewee who will be interviewed by four men panel, questions will be asked based on ones cause of studies for instance if you are a graduate of history, you might be asked to narrate the history of first bank. after that general questions will be asked based on the bank product, board of directors, team managers etc. At the end of the interview, you will be asked to make a comment. My advice is that u try and visit any branch of first bank near to u before going for the interview.

{6} finally pray trusting the lord to see you through.

10x mike,

Guys dont also forget to know their Mission/Vision, About Us, Products&Services, Estimated no. of Branches, Board of Director [CEO & Chairman preferably].

Wishing u all d best.

doe i wrote the test but i wasnt invited.wish u all d best.

they sent text messages to u , but u cld enter your registration number onto d page on website to c if u were invited

Thanks mike, but i think what u just stated is based on your own experience.
i also did d interview earlier dis year.

The first stage involves about 7 or 8 of us and we were given a topic on curruption " War against curruption by the obasanjo administration, fake or reality? "
well my advise is that before u guys goes in, agree among urself to agree 2 a side or else all of u are out. everyone should try and say something.

During my second stage, they did not even ask me anything about their bank. The first question was, apart from curruption what else has the obasanjo regime being able to acheive?
My advise is that if u want to critise, let it be constructive. they also ask about my background and hw it will be useful to the bank.

Am not trying to contradict mike here, what am saying is that expect anything and above all, put ur trust in God.

Also remember to ask them a question at the end... its very very important. ;)

wishing u all d best

remember 2 share ur testimonies 2 d house

As a first timer, i'd like 2 know wat my conduct shld be like.Do i have 2 greet d panelists individually? Do i go straight ahead 2 take my seat b4 i'm offered one? Thanks 4 d tips.

Thanks 4 all the 1daful infor guys. Let me be quick to say dat, based on the last question; that you don't work into an interview panel sitting down without being asked to do so. Good luck

look i did their interview and passed but i got into another bank so let me give u a hint. if 5 of u are given a topic to discuss, the 1st person to start talkin gets an automatic 5 marks cos it is a sign of leadership. take it from me i aint kidding. good luck guys
