What did you study in school?

3doursdown:

In structured companies or Multinationals or Blue chip companies you are not taken unawares when it comes to phone interviews. So no need to get all worried and carry your phone around.
A HR personnel will call you first to agree on a time for the phone interview or you'll be mailed about it towards fixing a time for the deed.
P/S: This thread is for the TMR position, there's a separate thread for Management Trainees for all you guys talking about "course of study".

WildOne:


Actually, this thread is for the Mgt Trainee guys. The TMR people are over here www.nairaland.com/2246685/trade-marketing-representative-british-american

3doursdown:


Have you gone through page 0-3?

Seems you haven't. Shows total lack of attention to detail.

Not a trait you should want to carry with you going into a job search.
