My experience duing I>C Bank interview on 18.02.08 in enugu

Hello house,if u'r about to attend an interview, then this will definitely help u.
1. Keep an open mind.U may not be asked anything u had prepared for, particularly if u'l b among d last to be interviewed.
2.MARKET urself @ any possible opportunity.if u keep ur answers brief, u'l b givin d panel more time 2 ask u even more nerve wracking questions.E.g if u'r asked What u can offer d company based on d course u studied, look 4 ways 2 cite real life eg s of how that quality{eg being innovative} made u more productive while u were serving, during I.T etc. THis will make them see how productive & useful u can b to them ,so that even if u fail any other questions u may b asked, u l stil b an asset based on past accomplishments.Also , if u r asked Why u studied ur course or 2 discuss what ur course is al about' PLEASE, sound convincing.They,l want to know how passionate u r wit things u r involved in.If u can remember what ur project was on,try linking it to the ?.E.g if u studied engr & ur project was on fabrication of a machine say som't like this "....course has made me more sensitive to the challenges d nigerian manufacturing industry faces & this was why i did this project,so that d financial burden on small scale industries that hav 2 import these machines l b reduced".This tells ur prospective employer that u r sensitive & can bring innovative ideas to d company.On the other hand, it increases ur chances of being asked ?s on what u really know about ie ur project. Nevertheless, don't get carried away.Stay focused on d question u were asked.

3.Radiate confidence even if u'r wrong.When u'r right, d panel will make u look wrong by asking u rattling ?s. D test here is for composure under pressure & self confidence.No interviewer expects u 2 know it all.

4.Don't use big words.They easily catch d panel's attention & u may b asked 2 explain.D truth is : U may not remember or b sure of urself when u answer!It happened 2me so i know better. No matter how many rehersals u did wit people, d atmosphere may not b what u quite expect

5.Having many qualifications does not mean u'l b taken, it only increases d chances of being asked tougher questions.So be prepared.

6.Dress appropriately.Find out what d company accepts & put it on, even if u have 2 borrow from some1.

When u'r invited 4 medicals, make sure u'r in a right state of mind.Som1 told me he lost a job 'cos he did his medicals on a day he was depressed & as a result,his BP was too high.Which company would want to employ som1 wit serious medical complications?So calm ur nerves b4 going 4 urs.
Chest xrays wil also b conducted so keep urself protected 4m harsh weather conditions so as to keep ur lungs in good condition.

Most importantly, Pray 4 God's favor 'cos it makes ALL d difference.
Trust me d adage "Experience is d best teacher" should never follow u to an interview.Mine was really tough, though i made it 2 d medicals.{folo me tnk God o!} d results r not yet out though.I hp this thread has given u a peek in2 d interviewer's mind and also how 2 come out victorious.So, C U ALL @ D TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zeebah,
I logged on to the site on a spur after a very long time n i thot your piece was BEAUTIFUL. Its not everyday that somone takes time out like you did to do something for others without expecting some form of reward or another. Even more impressive is your fluid stlye of writing. Like I said, your write up was beautiful. Dont let your gift of writing go to waste,. That would be criminal.
I thot your write up was great but the end of the link mails was just hilarious! I mean the part where you corrected the impression that you're a guy. Dont mind them, they dont realise that its no longer a man's world(if it eva was). Maybe they think we're too good looking on the outside to have anything left for the inside. Well, you're proof that they dont know much.
Keep the good work up girl friend. Keep flying the flag for our gender.
Let's talk some more. If you're game, holla me via [email protected]
Ciao!

Am sorry for not appreciating u guys for jobs welldone,It's because i don;t know how or where to do it please bear with me.But is that the cause for not sending message to my box for some days now. Please pardon me it will not happen again.

Your experience is not a mere report of an event as experience is concerned. To me, this is not experience; it is giving others light to prevent them from falling into traps of failure that lurk in the darkness of unknown. You have not only given a guide, you have as well cited true instances. May God continue to bless you. I pray you are favoured at the place you had the interview, Amen.
House, this is for us all. Let us all walk in the light of these words, may God help us all. The topmost top is our place, we shall get there by God's grace, Amen.
