    Age Barrier

    Most establishment today give their age limit as a major qualification for application. Most expecially is this true for the banking sector. After passing through the hurdles of primary ,secondary and university experience, an institution will still tell u that because you are above 25 they can not employ you.

    House please respond to this. What do I need to do?

    The problem with reducing your age is that when you are asked to produce your Primary school certificate and and an SSCE (not gce) that commensurates with your brand new year of finishing secondary school you will find out you only wasted your own time. My advice live banks alone, let them keep sacrificing quality and ability for beatiful / handsome, youthful, children and lets see which industry suffers in the long run. Banking is not all about marketing as they think it is about risk management, portfolio management, and money management, and all these require maturity and sound understanding not youth.

    Tell them abeg!

    The earlier we realise that the disadvantage of age reduction far exceeds its advantage, the better!
