Moderator Sticky this and Front page please!

This was shared with those who earlier contacted me for GMAT info:

99% of the aptitude tests that you'll ever write in your life will be based around questions from quantitative aptitude, verbal aptitude and logic/abstract reasoning. That's where the attachment comes into play (Total download size is about 5MB). It shows you how to work through all possible types of questions from scratch. And there are also practice tests at the end for you to do and score yourself. (I've also attached 3 separate abstract reasoning/logic tests as that seems to be missing from GMAT).

And so it goes without saying that you should read your GMAT thoroughly so you're formidable when the opportunity presents itself. In addition religiously follow www[dot]hotnigerianjobs[dot]com and you'll be constantly updated on job openings

Do these two things with all seriousness and in a year's time you'd surely have made progress.

Also check out the job section of www.nairaland.com for tips on recruitment for any particular job as nothing is new under the sun and many before you have walked that path. And be sure to make use of Google search function to research information from way back. For example type this into the google search bar:

"site:nairaland.com Guinness diageo assessment"

And then you can further refine by date (click on search tools, and then the "Any time" drop down).

Please don't procrastinate. You have so much free time on your hands now. Push yourself to focus and slowly but steadily build yourself for the long run. Don't make the mistakes we did. Experience is honestly the best teacher. Good luck!

Shame on you OP! You stole the FTC space...on your own thread o!

Your writeup is on point though.

5) The Offer letter stage

-The lucky ones say, Offer Letters rolling in and the not-so-lucky ones will be like, how was it sent?, through SMS or Mail; (like it matters); did you get a call from 0135****?, I just missed a call from that number.

See wickedness

Nice write up OP.

There's also the waiting stage. That's when some people freak out when the recruitment process takes too long. You see comments like "Good or bad, I just want to know where I stand" "Has your status changed to awaiting interview?" "These people are not serious!" "who has their CC's number?"

All is well.
