A Thread For Job Interview Gate Crashers by Nobody: 4:08pm On Feb 08, 2013
I actually first heard the word 'gate crashing' when I went for WAEC marking. Those who were there to mark for the first time were called gate crashers- perhaps because we were not formally invited to participate in the marking. But the bottom line is, at the end of the day, we were all given scripts to mark (even surplus) and paid a token.
In the world of job search, gate crashing is used to describe a process where an applicant who did not apply for a job, or applied but was not called for interview try to gain access into a test venue. Initially It sounded a kinda unbelievable and impossible, until lately I gate crashed a test which was conducted in my area. Although, I did not apply for the job, nor was I aware of the vacancy. It was kinda painful seeing applicants from distant places coming to take a test in my very neighborhood without my knowledge. I had no choice than to maneuver into the venue of the test.
I think it would be nice if we update ourselves on latest job tests venues, so that those interested or close by can try their luck! Just a candid opinion sha. No insults pls!

A friend of mine gatecrashed a Shell test. We laughed and mocked him as he travelled from Lagos to PH to write the test, without any invite.

Fast-forward four years later, he is sitting comfortable as a senior process engineer with Shell. Yes, he got the job back then.

Gate-crashing could be risky, difficult, embarrassing and unfruitful. But hey, no pain, no gain. Great risks comes with great rewards. But once you have the prompting in your spirit, go for it. I wish you guys the best.

I have a friend that gatecrashed an interview. He got to know about the interview by 5a.m and was there 8a.m prompt. It was a batch thing and since he came so early,he was the first to enter and he nailed the job. Even when they said his name wasn't on Batch A,he calmly told the panelists he had to travel back to his base and that was why he came early.

honestivo: But som of d interview hv d list of thos bn invitd

1.Not all of the people invited show up at the end of the day.

2. There are instances where people are invited but their names do not show up on the list.

This can only happen in Nigeria oh, except those hard labor jobs that they just want anyone that is fit to do them, but for professional jobs where you resume screening has already selected you for the interview, it will be impossible - However, not sure how it it being done in Nigeria . . .

Daring. Good. I like that and pray it works for you guys.

But I'm surprised it can happen. This should be the first or second time I'm hearing about this interview gate-crashing thing. Actually never knew, thought all tests are by invitation.

90% of testing entities won't accept that though.

But there is nothing wrong in trying. Good efforts, guys.
Re: A Thread For Job Interview Gate Crashers by Imeyo(m): 6:55am On Feb 09, 2013
wink gatecrashing does not work if d test software had been precustomize wit candidate's username mostly wit dragnet and smtimes wit workforce.
