anyway, its nl - stay on long enough, and all yanshes will eventually open

Oyb, I don't think u read all my posts before criticizing but anyway, I know that at this point its all about emotions. When next una temper cool u can allow job seekers have real info instead of chasing a rat in the wrong place.

I really hope we stay long enuf for my Okomu and adapalm nyansh to open.

Its very easy to get a job in d oil and gas industry. Just make sure u r studying something that u like. Cos anyone can work in the oil industry. Don't study a course just cos u want to get into the industry cos when u get in, u will finally become bored after u get used to all the money and gliterrati.

i wish anyone who decides to follow that bizarre advice the very best of luck

of course, there are security guards, cleaners, drivers 'in d oil and gas industry'

You look at this thread and u wonder. Everybody knows someone who works in an oil company but funny enough dey cant get there themselves. Frm what i have read, kitty kat may be trying to get people to contact her so dat they can settle her offline. i dnt knw what bluediva, oyb and jarus have said that isn't true.
The oil company is so hard to enter. I am frm the Niger delta and i knw boys who work there but are average. It is true abt the quota thing because some top chiefs are very influental and have slots for themselves. They also get paid by this oil companies monthly so that peace can reign.I disagree with jarus that the original poster may not be a Shell staff maybe he too got in through connection frm the quota thing. My verdict is that kitty kat has not been able to prove anything and it makes u wonder if almost everybody on nairaland isn't a liar.

hmmmm....

So an active poster since 2007 will suddenly come to start scamming pppl. SMH at how some ppl reason. Some ppl have contacted me offline from this thread, pls let them come here and say how much I requested from them. My brother if u have nothing to say pls park one side.

I cannot prove anything to u cos I don't want to reveal everything abt me on a public forum which can be googled from anywhere. I hv told u how I made it and have asked those who are still arguing to ask 2sexy from my CV. If u need anyother credentials, I can forward them to you. Why don't u actually request for my credentials and then verify them. If its fake, then u can come here and open my nyansh.


Let's be logical abeg. Only cos I told ppl that getting an Oil job is easy that's why u guys are beefing. I will say it again. Its easy. U guys shd stop thinking that u r too special and that's why u got the job. Anyone and I mean anyone can get in there if you are coached well.

I mentioned in one of my posts that I hv retired from helping ppl. So no one shd contact me. Read hard, prepare well, network and meet ppl that can point u in the right direction. Above all don't underestimate anyone and don't pay anyone a dime.

Oyb pls don't get petty. How can u pick a post out without the question. Wow I am disappointed at the way u reason and how far u can go to prove a lie. I now understand what Swtlemon went thru on her thread. Some ppl just hate it when other ppl find good things easy in life. They wish everyone suffered like they did. Issokay Oy,I bear no grudGes. I know one day we might meet offline and probably laff about ur mudslinging.

BlueDiva:

And who is discouraging you?
A smart person has a higher chance of getting employment anywhere in the world.

Typical Nigerians don't enjoy the truth.
You would rather i tell you how easy it is to get in and then you'll start asking for emails and my number.
Next thing I'll drop an account number and smile to to the bank.

Why not take the useful part of my advice? Nobody want's me to spoil the party.
The truth is that you have to have an extra edge over others. A mediocre is a day dreamer..

WRONG GRAMMAR! A mediocrity is a day dreamer. So according to BlueDiva's theory, she doesn't work in an oil firm herself...lol. So simplistic.
BlueDiva just needs the attention and she has successfully gotten it. It's easy to get attention and carve a niche on Nairaland; just disagree with the status quo and be extremely uncouth.
Kittykat, I will not advise you to play to the gallery by sending anybody your CV and payslip just to prove a baseless point. Be security conscious. Security awareness is taken seriously in the oil industry. We are not in an ego war.
I disagree with BlueDiva on some of her opinion on oil and gas jobs
1. It is not all firms that recruit on quota basis. And even when they do, they do it alongside the general and publicly advertised recruitment.
2. I do not agree that oil firms have 'special' candidates anointed by politicians and government officials. That's not true. It's highly exaggerated.
3. I agree that getting into the oil industry is very competitive and only the very smart chaps are recruited. That does not exclude the element of luck or favour. Even the indigenes employed are usually very smart. I work for an IOC and I am yet to see a staff who is not smart.
4. I will like to encourage all people seeking to work in an oil firm that IT IS POSSIBLE. But you must work hard...and smart. Be open-minded to other industries anyway.
Many, if not all the advice kittykat has given is very valid. Please do follow them.

Thank you...

The truth is that is how she has always pass her messages ever since I have known her. What she does not know is that the more you try to force people to accept you point of view, the more defensive they get.

One thing I have come to realise is that once you get experience, it becomes a lot easier to get job and for me, that is my major concern--Experience. I dont really care about pay for now.

I wonder what she gains by rubbish people and saying they know nothing... That is why Ben Carson, the world renowned nearo-surgeon and a Phd holder stated in his book that there is no point trying to prove that you are better than others.

If you read his book( Think Big) you will see where his classmates where hating him because he was just trying to prove to everyone that he knows so much, but when he got into Yale University, he realised that where he his brilliance stopped is where others started....

People are not blind nor silly. Respect is earned...

You are a fool for saying i'm wrong.
Mediocrity is the state of being mediocre. Pick your brighter grammar you tool.

I didn't even bother to read the nonsense you wrote down there.

I was the first person to point out that the OP is more like trying to scam people, because he never was and isn't a shell staff. I didn't pick it up at first when he posted his supposed shell email addy, because I'd advised him to remove it immediately but on a closer look I found the supposed official email addy is not in Shell email format.
I know the email address formats for Shell, Mobil, Addax, Total and a few other multinationals because it helps to clear your box of unwanted emails.

As for BlueDiva's (what a shame that she supports Chelsea) and Kitty-Kat's arguments, really there shouldn't be any. I remember in Kitty-Kat's earlier post when she said the gate-man thing was a one-off and she can't replicate that stunt again (I think I've been in the industry long enough to know that anything can happen, even in multinationals).

BlueDiva, please advise prospective employees how they can better brighten their chances of making it into the industry (since you know so much ).

After my initial clash with the OP, I'd decided to sit and watch how the drama plays out but was encouraged by Kitty_Kat and had decided to contribute later.

Now my advise to people wanting to get in:
1. You don't have to know anyone, but if you do, better for you because the person can coach you on what to do and how you do it too (Nice one Kitty_kat)
2. Do lots of sample test questions, SHL/Prometric/PSI/Advance Measurement professionals do have practice psychometric, personality assessments, and performance management tests that O&G majors look out for.
If you make it to 2nd stage of their tests, your attitude assessment has started from that point and anything you do or say might/might not work for you or against you, so watch yourself.
3. Don't be yourself, be who the company needs you to be. Practice on being this person too until it becomes you.
4. Be confident, dress well, talk well and don't be too argumentative (always pick your points! SMH @ BlueDiva)
For assessment/interview
5. Be good in your field/discipline but its also an advantage that you know a little bit of everything else (seriously not a little bit, you should know something about other fields, not just technical stuff if you're a technical person and vice versa for non-technical people too)
6. Be constructive in your points, don't just talk, make sure it matters to topic of discussion
7. Be smart and delegate (do it in a way the person working for you doesn't even know he/she is doing it and let them be glad to do it) - this is important, leadership things
8. Please, these questions have always come up in all the interviews I've attended: Give us examples of leadership roles you've held and how do you overcome challenges when they arise? think about them long and hard before going for any interview.
9. Manage your time

I know my post is a tad long but saw the e-missles flying and thought I better do this now or I never will. To all prospective O&G workers, Good luck in your quest for that eldorado job.

Interesting!

Oil workers zone indeed!

The best title should have been how to get a job in O&G industry.

Kokosheen... I get Kesisheen oooo .

Now,where in school is this taught?

Seriously, I dived in here thinking I get to talk about the O&G industry in more technical terms but only met the job advert things.

It was worth the time anyway.

This will be my last reply to you since you can not be wise enough to dump Nigerian English and accept simple grammatical error. And you call yourself an HR personnel?
I rest my case on you.

Vikin: Seriously, I dived in here thinking I get to talk about the O&G industry in more technical terms but only met the job advert things.

At least, you shared something that could change a life... you told them how to find their way, how to open up to opportunity. That is what really matter in life, nothing more.

Hilarious, see them spamming my box with emails.
The same people who are sharing experience on the job asking for a job.

I don't give people jobs, i don't have the power to. People should stop sending me emails. I can't even read it.
Consult kit kat or these other wannabes, abeg!

You are going about it the wrong way. After all you stated in this thread that you are in HR with a multi national producing company, why won't they spam your email for job!

You even used a working email to open your nairaland account. So you know fully well that more emails are coming your way, make no mistake about it.

I wish you many more spammed mails, you deserve it!
