Same as that I was told over a week ago that I got the ELS position but got no contracts yet - just heard from recruitment agency have heard nothing from AIB so far. I have been offered another job and I dont want to let it go without knowing for sure that this is 100% in the bag. Did anyone get their contracts yet.:D

They coming out tomorrow as far as I'm aware. They made some mistake in the contracts and had to redo them as far as I'm aware

Great! I hope this doesn't mean that start dates will be pushed back though!

I got offered job in ELS on Monday 21st Aug and received my contract last Friday. I signed and sent it back. Was given start date 24th sept but nothing about training.

gradgirl

My recruitment agency just sent me an e-mail this morning telling me that there is a delay with sending out the contracts but that I should receive the contract late this week or early next week!!!

It bit of a pain wondering if the start date is to be pushed back.

I was told in the interview that training will be 1-3 days in Dublin and the rest will be on the job. But that was subject to change.

alright in regards the qualifications you have to send off do you need to send of just your final years results or results from all three years and did you just get them signed in a normal branch. Thanks

Thats strange as I already got my contract from AIB. There's a lot of paperwork to fill out, medical questionnaire etc. I certified my college results (All four years) and leaving cert results In local Garda station. Also certified passport. Think that's all you need to send off.

Yeah this for me too but my agency gave me this to do before I got a contract to sign.

So I have the aptitude test day next Tuesday, the 9th. I keep hearing about this horrific grain silo thing but no one has actually said at all what's involved or linked to any sample questions. Anyone got any hints or past experience?

If you learnt statistics you might have some chance of doing well in the silo grains test. There are no samples or solutions available online. Its very different to the typical aptitude tests. But does test you on all aptitude areas in an unusual informal way. Best of luck with it!

What should I study for the corporate banking one?

starlit

I think the ordinary Morrisby Aptitude test you can get samples of it online. I'd imagine be likely be an ordinary aptitude test for corporate banking role but as posters mentioned some got the ordinary numerical, logical, verbal Aptitude test others got the Silo and Grain's test so be prepared either way just in case.

Did you apply directly or through a recruitment agent they might know which one you are doing.

dublinlad12345

They gave me the morrisby one but they've been known to be inaccurate with the prep tests they give can't find anything onlin on the silo thing so paro about it ow well can only do ur best!

There is nothing online for the silo and grain's test you be best to just prep like normal for an aptitude test, have an idea of statistics, economics/business maths. If its the morrisby they gave you its likely to be that one but chances are prep for the silo one just in case!

Best of luck with it!

Yes, the shapes sound a bit tricky but I guess they have to be done! haha
Are you allowed to bring in a calculator or do you even need one? It's great that they phoned you back so quickly and you got an interview!:)

I haven't either I'm afraid but I'm guessing that you have to do a lot of preparation for it! Okay, I hope it's handy- I'll trust you!
Is your position for Dublin? I think there are a number of positions in Cork, Limerick and Galway, well, that's where these jobs are located anyway!

Yeah they must be! Not too sure to be honest, wasn't given those kind of details at all- Dublin wasn't a location mentioned to me so I guess there are lots of different locations! :pac:Interesting........:D

I wouldn't be worried if I was you! I doubt it's for next Sept- the starting dates are immediate as far as I know but there is no particular date mentioned! haha IT will surely be before Christmas anyway
