So what you are saying is that backdoors are alright as long as:
- the 'gospel of John' exists
- there are enough jobs to go about
- they also use such in the developed world
- there are people born to circumvent rules and thwart procedures.
I will just ask one question in order to keep this issue short. If your friend fails to get a job and learns that it was because his/her slot was taken by another person who used a 'backdoor'. Would you tell your friend some/all of the four points i noted and conclude that 'these things happen' or would you empathise with your because you believe the he/she has been wronged?

Not even my friend. Let's use myself as an example. Do u think it has never happened to me before? And when it did happen, do u think I cried my to sleep with two hands holding my head and a single tear rolling down my cheek? Dude, u should get to know me.
I am not saying backdoor recruitment is right. But I won't assign myself a judge of what is right and wrong in the overall affairs of men. I will follow laid down rules to the letter and I will try as much as possible to avoid hurting another person as long as it doesn't imply me hurting myself. And when another person hurts me, I don't begin to wish retributive justice on them. I just pick up myself and gyrate to a spatial position of increased happiness and bliss.
And, yeah, there are actually people like me.

Guys this thing is pretty simple, nepotism exists we know it and we don't like it. Unlike one of Rockerfeller's spring out company who wasted people's time and emotion after recession only to employ connected fellows, or Edison's company who only recruit friends of family. The only multinational who was fair is the European one whom loads love to hate, they give opportunity to loads of unconnected, nepotism still plays a part but 30% merit is alot given precedence of competitors.
To NLNG, the process has been designed to reduce nepotism as much as possible, so if we have a 70% merit selection ultimately that's great.
If you started this process and didn't factor this into your prep, ramping up your presentation even after being given 2 years notice; you're a joker. grin
Though some might slip through the crack, more competent hands will be recruited as the future of the company depends on this.
Assuming fake people were recruited in 07, you think they won't have blown up the plant with incompetence? Train 7 isn't beans, 8M capacity. They need right people and they'll hire right.

Funny how this post began the 150th page, after reading weomet's post on page 149, I wanted to reply with 80% of what you just implied here. The bolded is just like a mirror coz it reflects me too.
These argument came about coz I said not everyone that go through the back door is a wrong hand. It does not in anyway mean the act of nepotism is right. But honestly, great minds we have here, everyone carefully constructing their own position into words that make logical sense.

And, yeah, I am like you.

Scarlet, I hail u.
Great point Dway4ward.

It all comes down to focusing on what we have control over. Even if they will be taking 50 people and 45 of the 50 slots is reserved for the "connected". Every "unconnected" candidate's prayer should be to find himself taking one of the remaining 5 slots and hope his prayer is answered. Talking about it on nairaland won't translate to a sudden change in the system of the recruitment.
It is not like one of the big men who already have reserved slots for one of his candidates will come and read this thread, read all the protests and the preaching against backdoor recruitment, and go "oh I just found Jesus. I will never ever bring in any candidate through the back door again". smiley
That said, we have been assured many times that this recruitment relies heavily on meritocracy. So there's really nothing to worry about. This is just me having fun and ensuring this thread remains lively as our brethren in PH undergo their AC.
Cheers guys.

Now I can see why evil thrives in this part of the world...let's just focus on the slots that we have and let evil thrive.That is the underlying opinion in your comment.

Please permit me to drop my two cents on this issue. But before i proceed any further, I would like to acknowledge both the proponents and opponents of the 'back door recruits' in companies.

For anyone worth his onions who passed thru the academic rigour of a Naija university and who honestly graduated with a second class honors is capable of working in any company in Nigeria. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing 'rocket Scientific' so to speak about industries in Nigeria. The so called recruitment process as it were came into being when the supply of graduates far outweighed the available jobs. Employers realised this and are exploting the situation to the maximum. I recall my dad telling me that when he graduated in the 1960s, he had 3 jobs waiting for him upon graduation. The interviews if he could call them that were just conducted 'in order to fulfill all righteousness.'

Now to back up my point, the minimum grade for prospective GTs interested in working at SPDC is second class lower division. While the requirement for a company like Mobil for the same graduate trainee position is second class upper division. Driiling Engineers in both companies functionally do the same thing on the field. Now If you take a graduate trainee drilling engineer from SPDC who graduated with a second class lower division that went thru SPDC's recruitment process and was succesful, and you put him on the job as a drilling engineer in Mobil. Do you think he will fail on the job? Knowing fully well that the functions of a drilling engineer in both companies can to a very large extent be considered same? And this SPDC graduate trainee drilling engineer would not have even been shortlisted for the aptitude test by Mobil. But if the same guy happened to be well connected and he got the Mobil job thru influence, can he necessarily be considered a wrong hand?

Further, the recruitment process for both companies cited above are different. Parrticularly, the way their interview stages are structured. Meanwhile in both companies exist reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, production engineers who functionally speaking, their roles in both companies will be very similar. They will essentially be doing similar activities on the jobs in both companies. However, the routes to clinch the jobs in both companies are different. So which of the companies recruitment process is right and which is wrong

Again, can anyone attest with 100% certainty that candidate A that got into a company thru the 'front door' will be better on the job than candidate B that went through the 'back door'

Like a poster earlier said, 'Life isn't strictly black or white. There is a wide range of colours in its spectrum.' And that I got in thru the 'back door' does not necessarily mean that you who got in thru the front door will out perform me on the job.

P.S: Please pardon the structure of this post and the typos that may be contained therein. It was done in a rush.

Re: 2013 Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas (NLNG) Graduate Trainee by dway4ward: 5:09pm On Jul 23, 2015
Let me better put it this way, higher percentage of the best brains will not have to work with consulting firms and banks because of nepotism in this particular exercise thankfully; but some might still slip through the cracks.
Most have put in their best and we all just pray that our best is good enough for this unique Nigerian company.
I personally went in to the exercise thinking the probability of my efforts mattering high compared to some recruitment exercises I've been part of; and believed so even further with the way the day was conducted.
Not all risks can be mitigated against, accept nepotism as a risk and strategize to put yourself at the top.

That is the way he has decided to go through life and you want to crucify him. The bolded in your post cannot be justified from where you stand until you find yourself in a position where a relative knows Babs and could influence the recruitment in your favor and then you say NO, i want to go through the legit process.

During the shl stage, people came here after their exams and gave hints, if you were here then i'm sure you ain't gonna close your browser at the sight of that hint, however when it was time for AC, peeps realised how close their dreams were and decided to go all, intergrity, intergrity, intergrity. Where was right or wrong then?

Never judge a man coz he sins in a different way compared to you, because given the chance, there is a great posibility you'll turn a deaf ear to "back door" is wrong or right. And evil will always thrive in the World until the second coming of our Lord, that is why we believe we are in it but not of it.

And I am fairly certain u shouldn't be fairly certain about certain things in this life wink
In the end it is all about how we choose to see and live life. Some people will trudge through life with a messiah complex and seek to change even those things not within their sphere of influence. Others, like me, will gracefully sidestep murky waters on the way and focus only on the things within our control.
No side is right or wrong (Weomet might disagree with this too). It is just the way we are wired.
I like ur doggedness Weomet. The world needs people like u. It also needs people like scarletdp too. Someone has to be the realist. smiley

How did I ever try to crucify him? by "Now I can see why evil thrives in this part of the world" which I made earlier, I mean that evil(wrong doing) thrives when no one does anything against it.
Now this is criticism - I can imagine NPComplete to be like the wealthy man who lives in a street that has loads of poor people and all he does his ride in his jeep across the terrible road, then switches his generator when he gets into his high-fenced house and shuts his very big gate. He also goes to the office and gives a relative of his one of the 45 slot(out of the 50) that he mentioned earlier...what his is rationale? - he has to "gracefully sidestep murky waters on the way and focus only on the things within his control". He never moves a hand and refuses to exert any of his influence to purge "murky waters", he just "gracefully sidesteps" them.

You don't know me, you don't know what I would or would not do if I knew babs, neither do u know if I looked at the "hints" for the SHL. Besides they are called 'hints' for a reason and not 'expo'. Also, in ur second paragraph u seem judgemental. Don't tell me you have picked up my supposed trait of 'judging' others. In your third paragraph you are clearly judgemental.
Since you mentioned the Lord...I am actually wondering if he took the approach of "sidestepping" murky waters gracefully when he was here on earth or if he refused to comment on right and wrong because evil will still be here when He came back.

lastly, 'commenting' about an issue is not the same 'judging' people that have the issue. the former focuses on the issue and the later focuses on the people that have the issue.

I am fairly certain that we can be certain about certain things in life...."In the end it is all about how we choose to see and live life".

it is starting to look like am taking this thing personal so this might be my last comment on this issue...
to the first bolded statement - each company determines their own 'front door' based on their recruitment policies. So the fact that different companies have different recruiting policies does not mean that one company is a 'backdoor' and the other a 'frontdoor'.
For the second bolded statement - my issue is not about performance on entry. My issue is to ensure that the nigerian graduates have a level playing field to land jobs applied for, and that any effort(outside of company recruitment policy) that results in a few having an advantage over the others in landing jobs that they could all equally perform adequately..is...wrong.

Hi all! I followed this thread to have an overview of NLNG recruitment process.

Everybody that has contributed to this thread so far has demonstrated a high level of intelligence and the sense of humor here is laudable. grin. Also, I admire the level of understanding & maturity of all. #Capital Repect to Y'all. I'm a corp member hoping to participate in d recruitment process one day.

My view over on the "back door issue" cheesy grin-----Since it's a crazy world we live in, going through the back door might be allowed for Aptitude Test Invite but Not for AC invitation for cry out sake. If you know you are good, enter into the ring and showcase ur skills 4rm d scratch. To me, there's always an atom of cowardliness in going thru d back door even if you are good.


I wish you all $ucc€$$ in the outcome. #Peace

As long as it is back door entry, it is wrong! Stick to due process! Some jobs come with high recommendations. Yes! that's if the company asks for it (eg. situations where the company requires referrals from staff and note this is not back door entry).

Yes, man will still be man and there will always be fifty shades of grey as you call it but that still does not make it right! If there are injustice done to you, cry out and let your voice be heard - a fix might come and there will be lessons learnt.

Nepotism or favoritism should not become a norm because a lot of people wish/hope for it or are already doing it. Let's as a people develop the attitude of reporting, finding solutions, fixing wrongs/sub-standards and condemning that which is bad! (we will get there someday).

My two cents.

P.S: Imagine if after two years of waiting and struggling to get recruited into NLNG and your name gets substituted by one rich man's son who just earned a Masters degree from MIT or Harvard? will you take it in good faith? (Reply Scarletdp and Npcomplete).

All they are saying is that it happens, and your comments on here on Nairaland is not what will make it stop. Also, that if you were shown your AC performance and they told you that you did not do well, but dont worry we still want to give you the offer ahead of peeps that clearly did better, will you say 'No, I am not taking this offer as there are clearly others that did better than me'. Will you do that?

Pls dont come and be forming Champion of Morals over the keyboard when we know you will jump at the chance of skipping the tests and AC straight to offer & employment if you had that option.

This one na direct question sha. lol.

Look you need to understand that people are very very different. And life has taught me that EVERYTHING happens for a reason and I always thank God for all my prayers answered and I thank Him more for those that seem unanswered because he alone knows best.

After my service year few years back, I tried getting into the Nigerian Navy, after exams and all we were suppose to go for screening at Onne, They chose 10 form every state, I was number 2. On getting to Ph, my state we were 30, 20 people entered through IM, other states were 25, 20, 33. after screening they chose 3 from every state. None of the legal 10 made the final list from my state. I made a friend there from delta , she got in, and few months at the NDA, one person from my state died form one of the rigorous trainings.

Look i'm not saying if they substitute my name, that the person might die or something, however it could be a million possibility of things, maybe something better awaits, maybe the other guy could have killed himself if he didnt get it, maybe he could be jobless and join a robbery gang that would attack a relative of mine someday. SOOOO MANY MAYBEs. we humans can't tell why.

So to answer your question, ( God forbid) if my name gets substituted by one rich man's son who just earned a Masters degree from MIT or Harvard?

believe me I will feel terrible because i am human and i gave my all and I'll strive to come out of that terrible state and give thanks to the almighty. FInd the next opportunity that awaits me and make the most of it. No strength for any other thing, aswear.

LoL. A lot of people just dont seem to get Scarlet and NPComplete sha. Did you hear them say its right at any point in time? All they are saying is that it happens, and your comments on here on Nairaland is not what will make it stop. Also, that if you were shown your AC performance and they told you that you did not do well, but dont worry we still want to give you the offer ahead of peeps that clearly did better, will you say 'No, I am not taking this offer as there are clearly others that did better than me'. Will you do that?

Pls dont come and be forming Champion of Morals over the keyboard when we know you will jump at the chance of skipping the tests and AC straight to offer & employment if you had that option.


Shalom!!

Gbam!!! Shalom bro.
Most of them won't just accept that offer in the scenario u stated. They will rush to the church to give testimony of God's favor. U will hear them quoting "not by power, not by might..." or "the race is not to the swift...." Some will even claim it was a seed they sowed that ensured God's hand was moved. But were they to be d victim, they will suddenly remember that "the heart of man is desperatly wicked..." or that one Prince of Persia denied them their blessings.
Case closed. grin

LOL. Poor preparation indeed. Except you have the whole brief to give out to people, I dont see how you can help them. NLNG have done very well and set the bar high with a very well organised AC, and standard exercises.

You'll race against time, and even face some sort of resistance from your team members in the group exercise. So I do not see how you can just claim we did not prepare well, or how your so called direction will make the process less stressful and challenging.


Shalom!!!

Poor preparation is the reason a lot of hopefuls found the AC challenging. But there is hope for all y'all PH crew that are yet to do yours. I can point u in the right direction and make the process considerably less stressful and challenging.

I have tried to patiently read through the 148th to 150th pages and all I can decipher is that a lot of people, having gone through the AC, have let fear and doubt subtly dilute the courage, resilience and faith which were telling of our foundational build-up prior to the AC. Truth be told, it may not have been a perfectly smooth ride for everyone but why attempt solving an algebra by chewing a bubble gum? Rather than assume vaguely or try to put the blame (of an eventual possible case of not being selected) on nepotism, tribalism, quota and all such assumptions, why not sustain the hope and keep the faith? Remember why you applied in the first place... cos you believed you can; and no matter how your AC may have been, it isn't over until it finally is.

While I await call-up for my medicals, I urge you to stay strong too.

Now, look in the mirror and tell me what you see is beautiful. smiley

All is well!!! wink

Adequate preparation entails anticipating probable occurrences, likelihood of them occurring and your response when they occur. That includes anticipating insufficient time and difficult team members and how to take care of these. Also, a considerable number of hopefuls focused on just the group exercise without preparing for the others.

You have time. Way too much free time on your hands. You actually opened a new account to sell info? Do you currently have a job?

I've done my AC. I don't need help.

So to answer your question, ( God forbid) if my name gets substituted by one rich man's son who just earned a Masters degree from MIT or Harvard?

believe me I will feel terrible because i am human and i gave my all and I'll strive to come out of that terrible state and give thanks to the almighty. FInd the next opportunity that awaits me and make the most of it. No strength for any other thing, aswear.
Epic answer you gave there man. The only wise thing to do is trust the Lord and move on.
