The Zenith Bank Interview experience

A lot of people want to get a first hand information of how the zenith bank interview stages looks like, well i have tried my best to keep it simple and straight forward here.

Note that as nothing in life is constant, so also job interviews. The process is majorly the same but questions asked are definitely different. the reason for this differences could be due to urgency of new staff, time factor, your level of experience(for fresh graduate, you probably might not get lots of questions) etc.

first thing you need to know is that zenith bank recruits through its agent PEOPLEPLUS. never make the mistake of thinking you are being invited by zenith bank, trust me i was corrected on that

Stages in the Zenith bank Interview:
  1. Chat with HR (Mostly done at the H/O on Ajose Adeogun street, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria
  2. Aptitude test (More often than not, the venue is a zenith bank branch on Sanusi Fafunwa street, just opposite Ajose Adeogun. ) Note that the test is four sessions: Quantitative (maths and logical questions), Comprehension (about 4 or 5 comprehension passages with questions demanding mostly implied answers and very few expressed answers), Sentence Correction(English-concord, parts of speech, etc and Logical Reasoning. total number of questions is 100 and you'll have 2hrs
  3. Clearance (before your interview, you'll be cleared based on your submission of photocopy and originals of the following documents: 3 copies of CV, Waec Certificate (Not statement of result), Degree Certificate(s), Birth Certificate, previous employment offer letter(s), Professional certificates, NYSC discharge Certificate
  4.  Interview stage (For this stage you will be seeing three interviewers separately. the third interviewer always seem to be the toughest, so be prepared)
  5. Interview with the Executive Director (ED)
  6. Medicals
  7. offer
Only successful candidates will be contacted to move on to the next stage. Always remember be observe etiquette such as knocking before entering the offices (especially the ED office), greeting, wearing a smile, audibility, etc
Try not to rope yourself in by giving unnecessary information cos they wuld be asking you questions from your answers.

*DRESSING: Dress corporately for zenith bank means GET A SUIT!!. this applies to both guys and girls

Some important things you might be asked are on:
  • Why should we hire you?
  • Tell us about yourself
  • Relate the Nigeria economy to your course of study
  • how can you describe the Nigeria economy today?
  • What is the current inflation rate, interest rate, unemployment rate, exchange rates etc.
  • Why do you think you are better? etc
In all, the key to succeeding is Confidence and God. Pray well for favor from God before attending. Well thats about it!! If you need more info, just ask me.
