Hello House,

I really need help in making a decision between joining Lafarge or EMTS (etisalat. currently got offers from both parties.Pay is slightly better in Lafarge but i need to move to the mainland from Ajah. I do not want to make it about money but career progression. Used to be in a bank and would really appreciate your contributions on the work environment and ethics in both places.

Thanks

Hi Poster,

The two companies mentioned are world class.

I used to be a staff of Lafarge Wapco, although I left after 4 months. Its a nice place to work, their operation is expanding. They are one of the biggest cement company in the world.

It depends on the department you are posted to; their operation can be quite slow and decision making a little better than that of the average government agency and some of the key staff are laid back. Coming from the banking sector you may find this unconventional, lest I forget, growth could be kind of slow in some departments as staff hardly leave the company and thus a lot of staff with 15-20yrs experience staff in most departments. Although, of recent mgt started employing more people from outside to bring in new ideas and exposure. In all its a nice place to work, as there is emphasis on training.

I don't know anything abt EMTS, my advice is money is not everything. Career growth is key in taking this decision.

I wish u the best!!

Thanks

Hi, its more of questions from your CV (defend your CV),your field of study, Your strengths and what your career plan is.(try to be flexible)

Just be confident, go straight to the point and know when to stop talking rather than saying too many things that can be used against you.

Mine was for a middle management role and my CV was obtained from the Business School where i did my MBA.
All the best.

Thank you so much for your response, just exactly what you said, it was the CV basically they used to conduct the interview. I think I have an edge because of my experience. Its an IT position.

Can you tell how long it took for them to contact you?

Thanks again for your response.

Cheers,

DJ.

A week.

All the best
