I assume that the system is kind of programmed such a way that you will get a response almost immediately after you've completed the "Culture Questionnaire", you will be prompted for the next stage. That is the system is looking out for certain things which I do not know too. Though, I got mine after two minutes of completing the first stage. No results expected. But...I'll advise...be expectant. Good luck.

please is it key to be fluent in Hausa as posted in the advertorial?
Re: Entry Level Recruitment At British American Tobacco 2015 by Abbeykord: 12:31pm On Apr 15, 2015
Bros...Fluency is key as advertised cos you will be posted to the Northern part and you will surely communicate with Hausa speaking clients as well as English. But if you are not fluent, I'll advise that you at least fine tune your Huasa language such that you will be able to respond to questions in Hausa when time comes just for you to scale through the stage. Best luck!.

It means you failed the test. I will be sincere with you. BAT is a really tough place to get into. You strictly and sincerely have to know someone. I know of two persons working there using strong juju just to keep their job. It's no joke, because the life they live there seems unreal. They get paid well, and the training they get is out of this world. It is a world class organisation and those who are in will do anything for their own personal persons to be there. The tests were pretty easy, you just get the usual format style, after some mins, you see that your status has been rejected. But no reason will be sent as to why the tests were failed. It is a cold world we live in people, and some persons who work in that place will go to church, dance like never before, but they are the ones sending the rejection e-mails just for you and I not to work there.

With all due respect shut the f*ck up! Like all Multinationals checks and balances are steadily in place and recruitment and job appraisals are always on merit. Work harder next time and stop believing in conspiracy theories.

You make me laugh. Like all multinatio..... Nigerians have made that impossible, who controls it? Multinationals? Don't be ridiculous and face reality. MTN is ran by who? Multinationals? Do you know what goes on there? Microsoft here in our country is run by who? Dream on and think in your country we work with checks and balance, you make it sound like it can't be manipulated. I have seen all these work, if you like think its some conspiracy, I wish someday you will understand what I am talking about, mr shut da hell up.
Re: Entry Level Recruitment At British American Tobacco 2015 by Nobody: 7:03pm On Apr 15, 2015
I've worked in two Multinationals and have previously undergone various stages of recruitment in several including this very BAT and MTN you speak about. But I can't help/blame you Sha, your self belief is already in tatters that your mind's playing tricks on you. Kpele.

Lol.. Name the two. Why do companies ask this question "can you give us a name of a top official you know in this country", what does that have to do with the position I am vying for? I have worked with AstraZeneca, and they do such. If you do not give them a name, you do not get the job. You talk of companies you have worked with, please name them? NNPC who is supposed to be our country's own uses such methods. Mtn on the other hand is an in-house thingy. If your resumes are submitted yourself, you do not stand the chance of getting called for an interview. Young Man, the system has been tarnished by the so-likes of you, and the assholes who run the system. Tell people the truth and what to expect? Can you also explain why people would be sent a rejection message on their status if you have worked for BAT with no reason? Can you explain to me why I was sent a congratulaty message, and then later was sent a message that it was a mistake? Don't be a fool. Can you tell me why a friend of mine was sent a message while she was in the UK, someone who didn't do the assessment at BAT, and was given the job? Be there fooling yourself like you don't know what's happening in the country.. You have worked for the companies name the hr persons there and i will know you have worked there.. Modupe conducts interview at AstraZeneca, should I go on.. Don't tell me like you know what's happening.. I have been there, I see these things work. I know of someone who is job is just to delete resumes coming in at first bank. That is his job. You are there pipe dreaming. Even at IFC, the world bank group, headed by white men still is tarnished. A friend failed the tests, the white men even asked him what he was doing there, he studied zoology, with no experience, I mean zero experience. And they even clearly told him he can't work there, but lo' n behold, cos a top man at CBN does the stuff at IFC, he is there today. Don't be fooled young man. Name the companies you have worked for!! And I will tell you the hr personnel that conducted your interview. Mumu..

Yes you may click on "save and finish later". The questions are not tough...you only need to calm down completely, reason well before you respond to the questions. But...I'll advise that you answer the main questions after you had completed the practice questions. I clicked on save to finish later while doing mine...when I returned I barely spent 20mins to complete it but it recorded almost two hours for me. So learn from my experience....best luck!

I partly agree with Dadaic, about shamble recruitment strategy adopted by some multi-national (which in my own opnion is masterminded by our Nigerian HR). I have actually worked in a mutinational firm where out of the 12 people that were recruited, 8 had internal referrer.

But that still doesn't mean there are no multinational that don't conduct free and fair recruitment e.g P&G

@Dadaic: At this stage of recruitment, I dont think there is need to cause applicant to lose hope, changes might have been set-in by the multinational companies to curtail this evil practise by our Nigeria HR personnel.
