How to Get a Customer Service Job in a Bank or Telecoms Company in Nigeria

In a recent survey conducted by NG44, we asked recruiters in banks and telecommunication companies what was the major factor that they consider when recruiting new customer service staff.

ALL of them confirmed that they usually prefer to hire applicants that have a professional certification in customer service and are members of a recognised customer service institute or body.
 

A customer service officer in a top company earns an average of N50,000 to N120,000 per month so if you want to guarantee that you will pass any customer service or marketing interview that you attend, our advice to you is to get a professional certification from a reputable customer service body. That is the secret.

The most recognised body of such in Nigeria is the Institute of Customer Service of Nigeria (ICSN) which is approved by the Federal Ministry of Education.

People Are Saying...

"I recently got a job as a customer service officer at the Lagos branch of a new generation bank. During our welcome party, my new boss revealed to me that it was our customer service certifications that made them hire ten of us out of the 200 people that were shortlisted. My ICSN certifcates got me a job so the money spent was not a waste at all!" - Linda Efekeraye ICSN, Banker, Lagos
 

"Recently the company I work for was downsizing and laying off people. Our whole department was shut down and everyone was laid off except me. The luck I had was that I had a customer service certificate from ICSN so I was transferred to the customer service department instead and now I am even getting a bigger salary" - Kemi Shobanjo ICSN, Abuja.
