Maybe you too can give it a trial. It just an advice.

efosanice,
When I did it it was N7500 but now with the introduction of GSE, it is N5000

pls mcWaleg, what did u score in the GSE test.what is the test like? can u please send me info about it. if u want me to call just paste ur number also how long did it take u to register for the test. thanks in advance

To enspirito, infact I can say I'm very luck. Just a week after my registration I was call for the test at their Lekki center, I performed averagely and I wasn't expecting anything until I got the message. To God I was surprised because initially I believed Dragnet thing was a fraud and to crown it all, I just got a sms from GTB HR that I should send my updated CV to a specified email address. I will say if u can spare 5k, just give it a trial afterall the so call PeoplePrime are also charge candidates for a fee of 2500 for Microsoft/LEAP training before u can be giving an offer. So my friend try ur luck and prepare well if u are going for the test.

Here is my email; mcwalegboyega@yahoo.com but for my phone; 08036271661

What is the essence of this GSE of a thing, instead of people talking about current affairs in nigeria (as in writing the apptitude test) they are talking about N5, 000 and GSe.

that is nigeria for us, person dey look for work and still dey pay N5, 000 from where sef.

Abi we go steal:

Afrika i agree wit u. i dunno y dis ppl r using this massive unemployment saga as an advantage to rip the unemployed the small 10kobo wey we they carry survive. u sure say the companies wey dey request for this gse no get share for the money we the so called gse organisers they collect frm ppl? men this country is so messed up.

Tell me, why crime rate won't increase in this country? When the people that are supposed to help us out of our situation are the one taking the undue advantage of the already bad situation. Asking somebody who is jobless to pay money before they can write test is the height of selfishness. Dragnet/gse is owned by some of the people that has damaged this country to this level. Some of them are the big ogas in the company they recruit for. With the way things are going in this country, very soon, after passing a test, there will be up to 15 stages of interview and you will be required to pay a certain amount before you can go to the next level, the higher you go, the higher you pay! It is sad, only God can save us from this civilized slavery.

Those guys are not doing anything for you that you cant do yourself. last i checked, you dont need to pay a penny to get a job.

@ spoilt
you had those words right out of my heart.

Nairalanders
Y do we have to pay to get a JOB? we all seek better nigeria but i dont know how we intend to achieve that. In developed countries i hv not read for once that unemployed people have to pay for a certain recruitment excerise. I hope this DOG eat DOG thing will purged out of our nation!! taking undue advantage of people who want to be gainfully employed, there is now way DRAGNET or what they call themselves think they are doing people a huge favour. As far as am concern they are opportunist.
what about graduates who dont have a penny? dont they deserve to work in Banks and high profiled organisations?
somebody explain to me the rational behind this crap!!

As far as I am concerned, whether they send 200 mails to Mcwaleg or not, they are still monumental fraudstars. if it is so sure for them, and if they think they are doing a legal thing why do they not liase with the organisations they say they recruit for and deduct 50% of your first salary after you get the job through them, not before you get the job. Why should a job seeker pay to write tests, not even to be invited for an interview? I have one big question: what happens if an applicant pays the money, sits for the test and unfortunately fails? On the part of the organisations that use this means to recruit, they should really think well and know that they are not doing Nigerians favour by taking to this means of exploiting helpless Job seekers. If, however, you have the money, you can do it. But God knows that even if I have a father christmas as dad, and he gives me that money, I will rather keep on gate crashing untill I get the Job of my desire, with Almighty God's help.
