I am meant to be starting on de 27th aswell and have yet to hear anything. Was talking with my reference and they have yet to hear from AIB either. I am definitely getting worried and what makes it worse is everybody keeps asking me about it and i dont know what to say ha.

Hurry up AIB!!

So CPL is in charge of AIB jobs? A quick question, did you need a degree in business/finance/maths to apply for these roles ? Would an arts degree be acceptable?

I reckon an arts degree would be fine especially for the branch banking role. Although for some of the grad positions I reckon the would prefer candidates from a business/finance background though you would prob still be given a chance of an interview and assessment test, most people are.

Going to give it a shot anyway.

Do the bank request a copy of your exam results from Degree or do they request a copy of your scroll?? Or do you have to send in the original? I cannot find either at the moment!!!

Orlaith88

Hi Orlaith88, Did you have to send in your original scroll or a photocopy to the bank or have they even requested it? I haven't been asked for mine in a previous job and I havent a clue now where I put it or the results letter!! I found a copy of the results letter but dont know where the original is!!!

You will be fine,the aptitude test will either be a series of simple tests that can be found on moseby.com I think is a sample or what is called a grain silo test that is questions based on percentages,simple Mathis etc,trust me it looks scarier than it is,just be ready for both as I think people panicked when they saw it and got caught up in that instead of trying to answer it!interview is fine they are really nice and just want a chat not to quiz you on all kinds of crazy circumstances that you may never have come across!good luck,good experience anyway!

dubmad23

Has anybody heard anything yet from AIB?? I have no idea where I am to go on de 27th or even for that matter if all the info I gave them checked out!!
