What can I say that hasn't been said already?

First u might be a lil tense buh like we were told before we started, the whole exercise wud bring out the 'you' in you and u'd lose ur tension in no time.

I'd advide u guys to be very time conscious. Its best u use a timer to time urslf so u won't be caught unawares. For the first part wch involved some calculations (but was mainly a true/false/cant say scenario exercise designed to test ur analytical skills), I was able to use my fone do some lil additions without necessarily racking my head. U may also wanna employ dis strategy so u don't waste precious time.

After d 20minutes test u'd be split into groups. Some groups wud go for their powerpoint work while some wud go for their group discussions. Our powerpoint exercise for today involved a company wch was barely breaking even even after employing some strategies (interventions) to curb dis situation. They were losing dier clients to competitors. Losing staff as well to competitors. Dier staff were poor in report writing as well. So the task was that as a consultant whose service is been employed, outline d problems dey face, give reasons y u believe dey're d problems, profer solns and state d outcome of what ur solns wud give d company. Get to master ur powerpoint presentation skills now. Remember u won't have so much time. Use bullet points like; Problems include: income loss, staff dissatisfaction, etc. Solutions like: welfare package review, cutting costs, etc.

The group task was for us to advise a company that was set up in a rural community and needed to compensate d locals in d community who felt d presence of d company has made life worse for them and planned on staging a protest at the gate of the company's facility. Three scenarios were presented so ur group is supposed to discuss (within 20minutes) what scenario(solution) wud be better and den write a proposal to d CEO of d company. Note that ur first 5minutes is meant to be used in reading thru and collecting ur thoughts. Our grp (and most of d odas I also talked to) said they chose scenario 2 because scenario wud help d company save some money, engage d youths in an activity wch dey loved (an orchestra in dis case), wud help d company advertise themselves in d North whr d youths wud perform thus opening new markets for the company, etc.

The interview segment was basically to test ur leadership, team playing, innovative, problem-solving skills. U need to start thinking up scenarios where u employed ur leadership skill in solving a problem, where u were a part of a team and how u contributed to the team in terms of achieving targets, how u were innovative or creative and was able to think outside-the-box to solve an issue, etc.

I think I've given so much expo on the things we did today. Sorry I dint do this earlier. Got home late; I missed my way while driving back. Hope dez few tips help u guys.

Above all pray well. And abeg make una nor reach der tomorrow start dey talk say person don tell una wetin dem do o. Who knows! Questions may be different. But if dey're not...

Above all, I wish u all d very best.

Wow @astevee really? The same questions and scenarios E be like say workforce nor get questions again set be dat o. If to say I get dis kind info before my assessment I for jes go relax.

Anyways for those of you yet to go thru urs, jes prepare ur minds. Ur added advantage now is dat u even know what to expect in d real sense of it.

I for say make I share my exact powerpoint answers, as in Problems with Fodil Enterprise, Reasons for me saying those were the problems and Solutions to these problems; but dat'd be asking too much. so u guys don't have my exact answers *LOL*

Above all, u guys shd go have some fun. enjoy d free meal and plz share ideas with others during dis break period. talk about ur powerpoint slides, get to know what odas thought d problems, reasons and solutions were. these wud help u when u go for ur presentation, trust me.

Don't forget to PRAY! it is well.

Guy, sorry abt ur ish. I guess u were omitted just like I was. Dis is d experience I had: I called d helpdesk, some guy picked and promised I'd b scheduled 4 lag (my 1st sms sed abj) dat I shd expect their sms and email d nxt day whc was friday. As at 12noon on friday, I called bak and a different person picked. He sed I shd ensure I was available at d venue d nxt day by 1.00pm. I was at uyo at d tym. I explained 2 him dat getting 2 abj wud b near impossible and implored dat I be rescheduled 4 lag, but he sed if I cudnt make it, I shd 4get it. Seconds after I dropped d call, my sms came in. I neva received d email. Long story short; I found my way to abj and dats is dat.

Lessons to b learnt 4rm dis r:
1.) U may want to call d helpdesk agn; chances r dat a better informed person wud pick d call and put u thru.
2.) U shd get to lag and b ready, u neva knw wn ure listed for.

Or better still, dress all up and b there by 2mao. U just myt b merged with d sets 4 2mao. All da best...
