PURE LIE. BIG LIE. Theres nothin like dat. I wrote 1st bank test in lag last yr. We were more than 15k pple in lagos & they calld 920 for the interview. I cld remember then dat so many pple receivd d mail and those in ph, kano & abj did d intview d same day. Now,its less than 5 persons they calld 4 Lagos. I beg lets relax & pray 4 1st bank 2 call us. As 4 me,i wrote mine in ph & i no fear 1st Bank or d person wey dem invite 4 interview.
@Poster,shun.they'll call u whn its time.i knw u're speakin by faith bt dont let ur faith kill others in d house.as 4 d other pple dat said they got d iv,NA PURE LIE.well,i fink one person can hv up to 5 accounts in Naijahotjobs. My fellow unemployd & underemployd, cool down. We'll hear 4rm First Bank.
@Poster and other interview lv receivers,post d address of d interview & i promise u i'll travel 4rm ph to lag just 2 c u guys. RUBBISH. Una too much.
Ok I'm preparin 4 my own interview on d 25th of dec.it wil b conductd by Forcework. RUBBISH
Lol. A friend of mine just told me that some are still writing the test. Don't know how true that is. If it's true, then these guys were probably invited for the test/ assessment.
Na wa for jjc o
@betadays i can't help laughing . Any way i'm preparing for mine on the 24.5th of dec at "work by force get money". Did i get an invite? I don't know ;D

I tot once d start callin i'll hear a lot of pple sayin i got d text like it hapened wen we were caled 4 test...wat is rily hapenin? Only few pips claim 2 hv gotten mails. I tot ds ws supposed 2 b a recruitment...r we sure ds pple wrote diers wit dragnet??

Like i posted in d last post,since theirs is 23rd & 24th,mine is 25th conducted by Forcework in my house.
Rubbish pple. Jully,I beg Relax
Betadays...
You sound so illiterate!
That only a few people have confirmed receipt of the mail via this portal, doesn't mean only a few were invited! Besides, not everyone could have passed that intricate assessment at CHAMS!
Betadays...grow up!
You said you wrote the FB test last yr and you wrote again this yr...are you that dull!!! You don turn customer o!
When next you are invited for aptitude tests...TRY AND PASS!
congrats to all dose dat got d invitation
@ BETADAY AND PETUNIA...UR COMMENTS ARE FALLACIOUS...DAT VERY FEW PEOPLE GOT THE INVITE ON THIS FORUM, DOES'NT MEAN THAT ONLY FEW PEOPLE GOT THE INVITE NATIONWIDE
@ CHUCKS..DAT BETADAY HAS'NT GOTTEN HIS INVITE YET, DESPITE WRITTING THE SAME TEST LAST YEAR DOES'NT MEAN THAT U'RE ANY BRILLANT THAN HE IS. I'M SURE U WOULD HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL TEST BEFORE. I GUESS MAYBE THATS WHY U'RE STILL IN THIS FORUM
@ AT ALL INVITEES....I SAY CONGRATS....STILL EXPECTING MY INVITE THOUGH.
@chuks tansi, relax. 1st Bank hasnt invitd any body. If u are sure,guy post d venue. U can say wht u wanna say. My guy, FIRST BANK NO CALL U
@Betadays: why are you so paranoid and sarcastic. Pls stop this your attitude. Work force is real, the type of test they are going to write has been done before by FBN. Work force recently recruited ond holders for FBN. Insourcing did there interview in kaduna a day after the test was written in kaduna 1st week of nov. Not until last week before lagos center did the interview. Object let me see.
Whether them call or dem no call,i'm feeling very strongly dat 2011's gonna b d bomb!
Betadays- The venue for the assessment is the Workforce office, Swisshouse Gbagada Lagos!
I got the email on monday & the sms on tuesday (yesterday):
"on behalf of First bank, you are hereby invited for an assessment centre dis friday 24th dec by 1pm. Pls check your email for further details."
In the email, it stated, that the assessment which is gonna take about half day to complete is gonna comprise:
Writing
Presentation
Analytical Exercise
Group discussion.
Call me if you want. 08035745922.
Tata!
@chuks tansi, though i dont agree with betadays, u neednt attack him like that. Are you trying to say evryone that doensnt make the cut in a test is dull? In an attempt to hit back at him, you have just given a bad impression of yourself. @all, when the invite for 7up's test were sent, only 3 people acknowledged it here but on getting there, we were more than 2000. Dont use the number here to judge cos i know thousands of graduates who are not registered here.
@ montedo in all fairness, I was quite harsh but he kinda deserted it...smiles...but he also deserves my unreserved apologies!
Sorry betadays & all whose esteem I deflated! Make una no vex!
fallacy??? is it fallacy of insufficient grounds or ad hominem?? i was only giving an empirical analogy; why is it dat many pple acknowledgd reciept of d invitation for test and suddenly dese same pple will keep quiet abt their success... rmbr pple like to flaunt even at d expense of odas... i'm just tryin to be objective; i'm nt objectin to d claims of dose dat sed dey gt invitations neither am i acceptin it...Quote:

We have said this a number of times that this forum does not encourage insults or sarcastic comments from anybody. For those that claim that they recieve thier IV, you should thank God instead of claiming to be better or more brillant than your counterparts. Grow up guys and show some character. Remember that this is not a criteria that you have been employed. ....Only if what you guys are saying is true. ??? ???
@ Ray4, Stica1 and invited, pls what were you asked to come with for the assessment, does it include credentials. Congrats once again.
@Ray4,Well,we are not doubting you but how come no member of the hose can confirm that they equally recieved similar correspondence,this therefore means you are the only qualified candidate.anyway,be that as it may....CONGRATS.
For a forum that thrives on being supportive and promotes exchange of info...I am surprised at some of the responses on here at the few who came out to inform the house of their invites to the assessment. IMHO it's nothing short of jealousy!
Come 24th or 25th. It's just around the corner. We'll see what's gonna happen. Not jealous anyway. May God see us through :(
I am really tired of dis firstbank thing; so i'm goin to stop it nw; A friend of mine got d invitation and went for d test today; he forwarded d mail to me; i've removed his name for privacy reasons

Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
INVITATION FOR ASSESSMENT CENTRE
We write to inform you that you have been short listed for an assessment centre in respect to your application to First Bank Plc.
Nature of Assessment Centre:
The Assessment Centre which shall take about a half day shall comprise the following exercises;
· Writing Test
· Presentation
· Analytical Exercise
· Group Discussion
As part of the assessment centre activities, please be informed that you will be required to make a presentation to a panel in a formal room setting of approximately 2 people. The presentation should not exceed 5 minutes (kindly note that Computer & Projector will be made available for your use for this presentation).
You will be required to come along with a CD or flash drive (virus free please) of your presentation. Also come along with a printed copy for submission.
The topic of the presentation – Customer Service Transformation
In recent times, a number of events have pointed to a direction that our organization is currently having major challenges in the areas of customer service. In the last 6 months, the following observations have been made;
· Customer complaints have gone up by 300%.
· The company is losing revenue at an alarming rate as the number of dormant accounts is on the increase.
· A recent survey conducted on the owners of the dormant accounts showed that about 55% of them have gone to a particular bank noted for prompt and courteous delivery of services. This bank has also been identified to leverage internet for better and effective customer service.
This is a major source of concern for the Managing Director of the company who has invited your firm – a Customer Service Transformation Consulting firm to come and make a presentation on how you intend to turn this situation around.
1. Give a brief introduction of your firm and an overview of its services that you as a customer service consultant, are responsible for managing.
2. Give a pitch on the service you provide for organizations such as ours and highlight what sets aside your firm from its competition and the benefits to our business.
3. Relate the steps your firm will take in turning around our customer service situation and talk about each of the steps in detail.
Details of Exercise
Please take note of the following details.
Venue: Workforce Management Centre Limited
Swiss House, Plot 9, Block A
Gbagada Industrial Scheme,
Gbagada Expressway, Lagos
Date: Wednesday, 22nd December, 2010
Time: 8.00am
You are to come along with your writing materials and a means of identification that carries your passport photograph.
On arrival at the venue, please ask to see Oby.
If you require further clarification, please call xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Please ensure that you acknowledge receipt of this e-mail to confirm your attendance.
Thank you and good luck.
Regards,
Akindele Afolabi
I dont know why pple dat got d IV were unwilling to share dese details; it wouldn't ve hurt. i wish u d very best and 4 d rest who didnt get d IV; as i sed in a previous post; it's nt d end of d world. cheerio!! :)
Was the correspondent by text or email
@petunia, u are 2much jo. i see why people invited dont want to share the in4mation. they are afraid dat if it is batch by batch, people with first hand information before the test may perform better because they have more time to prepare. once again many thanx to petunia u av just solve the riddle. For dose that did not get the iv pls lets move on.if its not fb it maybe somewhere better. peace
I hope it really puts an end to d mouth war dat has bin goin on. but still, it is d nigerian mentality of me and myself dat is affectin pple o.Quote:

O Petunia, I have been enjoying the commotion before your long post.
Abeg lets assume it is a well planned strategy in which Petunia played that role in order to forcefully convince us.
So let the war continue.
@ all,no doubt we were all shocked by wot som members of dis forum said abt being invited by 1st bank bt d questions i av 4 d hse r
1. if 1st bank has started calling 4 interview,wont we c quite a no of dis forum's members sayin it?
2. can dey just b like d 8 piple out of like a thousand of dis forum's members dat sat 4 d test?
3. after d test som of us said d test was cheap,where r dis piple?were dey nt invited?
4. can we say dey were shy 2 say dey ve bin invited?
5. is there a beta way 2 confirm all dis?
i no workforce very well in gbagada bt i cant say if dey r rily doin d assesstment tin 4 1st bank.am nt saying u ve nt bin invited o!!!!!
we nid som1 2 clear all dis.
Petunia u ve done ur bit,tanks n God bless!
maybe this invite is 4 another test but definitely not dragnt/first bank. Out of thousands that wrote, it is not possible that only few pple were cald. If it were dragnt/first bank, atleast 100 pple would've acknowledge receipt. I don't understand wat is happening.
@troublemaker: no be small tin o, we dey Colosseum dey enjoy show, na so Petunia come turn referee dey share d fight...i dey vexxxx!
Listen up everyone. I was invited for the assessment and attended same today wednesday 22nd dec at 8am.
It is true and there is no contention about it. There seems to be 2 batches a day. Another batch came in at 1pm. We were meant to be 25 in attendance but it seems that about five were unavoidably absent.
Many of us are not part of d NHJ online community and so if u have seen only 8 persons come out to say they were invited, it doesn't mean it's only 8 that were called. That conclusion is wrong. Many do visit this forum but aren't registered members. Many don't even comment just like me.
If ur test at chams city was a walk-over, u shouldn't scream out on the mountain top. The spiritual controls the physical. Always commit everything to the hands of God and never brag about ur performance.
I would not return back to this thread to make any comment again.
troublemaker, pls let us put an end to d charade once and for all... we are supposed to have each oda's back nt exchange fists of words. some pple re emotionally sensitive abt dis firstbank tin (for reasons which i undastand) and i dont tink it's nice dat we continue wit d attackin tin...Quote:

Best of luck 2 those still on the recruitment process cos i also gathered its a one year training in the new extended training school nd a portion would be done abroad on some topics. Upon return ull be fixed in very strategic positions in the bank. please if u dont believe me just watch nd see it play out nd dont diss or beef cos whats urs is urs nd there r alot much better places to work than firstbank plc.
My contribution is strictly in appreciation of all those who've contributed positively to me on this forum nd not fr the unserious children in d house.
Signin out
@ swagz,thanks 4 the info... mine is scheduled 4 2day, God help us all
All ye doubting thomases!what will it take for you to believe.maybe when the lucky ones have been employed,back from training,and confirmed.
Guys that weren't called pls pray that the cut-off mark is dropped. They av started calling for sure. I just confirmed.
Peace
