Well, that's how life is I guess. If a company wants to recruit 2 people and out of 15 interviewed, 10 ace the process. Will u call dropping 8 people out of the 10 wicked? They have a certain no they want, more than that no passed the preset cutoff, then they have to have their ways and criteria to make their final selection.

Collintos:

Happy new month folks, wish us the best of the ‎new month ahead.

Congratulations to forkadict & co. as you resume on the Island. Wish you guys a long standing career. ‎

ladyF:

It's best if you guys keep an open mind still. As far as I'm concerned, NLNG didn't do anybody anybody any good by sending out "recruitment is still ongoing", I mean, we all know/knew the recruitment is/wasn't finished yet, none of us needed a reminder for that.

Interpreting it as a success mail will be a sorry case of counting ones chickens before they hatch. What stopped them from making it less ambiguous? Maybe they should have even sent a blank mail...it's almost the same thing!!!!!!

Anyway sha...Happy New Work to Forkadict and Happy New Month to everyone.

Not to derail your thread or anything, for you guys that are still in the game, how was your AC like on a personal level (stage by stage). Did you at any point have doubts or show nerves and how did you flip the switch.

Thanks

*and this artmedia guy na oracle shaaaa

coolio2014:
I believe showing nerves is not a bad sign. It just shows the interviewers that you really are interested in the position. Someone could benefit from this,so let me break it down a bit:

The group stage: I was the group leader (I offered myself for the role). my co group members were really smart folks. We were quite orderly and things progressed well not much nerves here.

Interview Stage: A wee bit of nerves, I mean it's NLNG! lol. Whenever I felt the nerves shooting up I smile... Believe me this helps. Also when in doubt about how to answer, doesn't hurt to ask for the question to be repeated. Another helpful hint is to pause for a wee bit, think before answering! Usually people rush off to answer and run out of steam midway.

Presentation Stage: now for this exercise I was quite nervy (by my own standards - I say this because some other person observing might say I was calm). I dealt with this by making sure I prepared making great use of time. My presentation was well outlined and this helped! I spoke quite fast though! The assessors didn't seem to mind .

Fact Finding: Now I believe what greatly helped me here was the answer I picked! When they started making more information available, it just seemed to buttress that the one I picked had been well analyzed.

and it helped that I had a good job to go back to . So whenever I felt nerves rising I calmed myself by mentally saying "worse case scenario I go back to your job" .

Hopefully this helps... Shalom

MaforBea: So I tried to shake this off but I couldn't. 2007 about 400 went for ac and about 220 were cleared and clearly passed. But they only hired about 89 or so. What was the criteria used? Fancy current job( a lot of them hired back there were kpmg, uba bank etc), man-know-man or state of origin. Now my concern is, I work I an accounting firm that is nott poular or big. I can't help but think fancy names and other factors may come into play for the final selection. Udo!

Coolio2014 believe me if you had more insight about that fact finding task you will doubt your choice. I stuck with my choice purely because I wanted to be on time and within budget but other factors like considering the needs and preferences of the employees bamboozled me sha.

My presentation I had a Hausa guy whose accent I struggled with. I kept say "Excuse me?"

coolio2014:
My choice validated the questions they asked though... That's why I believe that for this section there was actually a correct answer. Even with regards to the amenities, my choice favoured the option that had the highest percentage in the survey. I was grinning to myself . At some point they finally smiled

airsaylongcon:


Believe me guy there was no right or wrong answer. That's all I can say for now

scarletdp:


Well for mine like 1 was plain wrong . I don't k ow if the question was the same for all. Mine was about a company that wanted to move to a different location. First question I asked was, why do they want a new location ? Apparently it was Coz of space, the I asked what was the size of the four locations and also the size of their present location . One of the location's size was smaller than their present location. ... I just dumped that one aside , irrespective weather they had an Olympic sized pool for staff or trains that travel faster than light. It saved me time to channel my thought to the other 3 ...

airsaylongcon:


It was the same for all candidates. Everyone of the locations met some criteria. None however met ALL of d criteria. The ones that met employee comfort were short of space or not readily available when needed. The ones that were readily available with sufficient space did not provide employees comfort.

coolio2014:
There were wrong answers. In other words there was a right answer. There was an answer that met all the specs they wanted - at least that they asked me about.

ladyF:

When I asked why they wanted to move, I was told because of the [b]increasing ren[/b]t, they didn't mention anything about space....perhaps they tweaked the info for different people/days maybe?

MrSneh:
Sigh

The ratio of 'male-like' monikers to 'female-like' monikers viewing this thread since mails dropped is like 10:1

I should probably get married before moving to Bonny.

Spot on!

Infact, it is even specified in most invites for medicals that the invite should not be mistaken to be an offer of employment.
We were the ones clamoring for some form of communication from NLNG. They have finally done that. So all we can do is wait.

The wait has just started...
