bezimo: I've graduated since 2008 and I didn't get the answer till after 5 minutes. I manage over 40 personnel in my department some are programmers, some are Database managers, all are good arithmetically but I'm in charge of all of them. I was directly involved in the hiring process for 25 out of 40 of them and I can't imagine asking them something as frivolous as an arithmetic question. I still don't understand the usefulness of the arithmetic question when it's been proven times without number that behavioral questions are more effective than quantitative questions when assessing job candidates! 16 Likes 1 Share |

Boeing777pilot:Seriously, what right thing? How could he judge them based on a single question? So you think anyone who couldn't solve the question isn't smart, can't perform well on the job or can't solve a harder arithmetic? To have reached that stage considering the thousands of trainee candidates we have in Nigeria, they must be intelligent. . Also, considering he gave them time..there's this tension that comes with being timed, also they least expected another test at that stage... it must have come as a shock.. I'm not excusing the candidates' inability to solve the problem but op judging them based on a single arithmetic is just irrational. . 8 Likes |

You have spoken the truth here. For the op to use 1 good hour to coordinate himself just to meet potential trainees, shows how unintelligent he is. Don't mind him. We sabi their kind. truthspeaks: 6 Likes |

correctyourself:Lol...Complaints have done no one any good? There is no test that seems fair as long as you didn't scale through. Talking about personal evaluation; I don't think there is anyone (Nigerian) that have risen so fast as I did except few Asian guys... I will advise you to strive to be better in your endeavours.... 6 Likes |

truthspeaks:I am very sure if I had given them a simple comprehension test people like you will complain. Where did I state that I am in Hr unit let alone a Hr professional? That is the problem you have with people seek understanding before you type. I am not good at communicating so? You don't need that much around here. We only need your calculating brain. I can't remember the last time I said good morning at the office. If you are good in communication thanks. Have you not wondered why Standard chartered Bank and Shell NG don't test your verbal aptitude? Too much talk ruins the brain just be cautious. Improve your comprehension skill.....Mind your Language. 5 Likes 1 Share |

holyFRED:I also see no atom of sense in what the OP did. Not everybody can think logically and critically when under intense pressure Ironically, the said person who managed to provide an answer to the quantitative test may even be the one that will under perform when placed on the job 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Marxxx: Over confidence! Stop deceiving yourself, I can see you have not had life experience. The day issue would warrant taking decision about you would look like an empty pack, some of the banks that has folded-up where are some of their managers today, and what was their feelings while they were still in office? Do anybody dare challenge them, but today I'm sure even fowl can. 5 Likes |

STFUareyouGod:Why didn't he hand over the job to another person? He also clearly stated not knowing a penny abouft confirmation but still went ahead to carry it out. Postponing it woulda done the trick while he dedicated his little time to learn how to confirm trainees. I bet he doesn't know the kinda stress and effort those people put in to get to that stage just to get that poo from the OP. He was clearly after his reputation and not confirming those trainees. I tell you. Look closely into the thread and you'd spot the kinda person he is. 6 Likes |

Marxxx: But Op, may I know what position you occupy in this organization? But either way you took a cheap route out. You used an hour to prepare for confirmation and ask such a question that actually can't depict your ability to give an on the spot solution to issues. For me you only covered up your weakness. What is wrong if you take a brief chat with each of them to find out about their relativeness to the company's goals and objectives. You should have cared to learn what they've learnt in the while, have a quick chat with their direct supervises if any, see if they are trainable For me I am disappointed 8 Likes |

Bluffly:I spent all my time in the university studying fish ponds...you see if the trainees feel they are not sound numerically why do they want to become financial experts? don't shield mediocrity. I studied Fishries and had guys that studied Economics and Finance, but I wasn't daunted. The position requires excellent numerical ability...... 4 Likes |

tosyne2much: Some jobs actually require you to think logically and critically under pressure. If the applicant can't perform under pressure, he has no business being there. Imagine the pilot of an aircraft freaking out when there's a turbulence. 5 Likes |

tosyne2much:500 bottles of moet champegne for this brother (I no care if you fit finish am ) The OP was more concerned about his reputation rather than giving them a 'good' confirmation. Those guys were already under lots of pressure and the OP decided to still add up more pressure on them. Does he see the brain as a pressure pot or what? He even took 1hr 30mins to prepare to meet the trainees and this is what his brain came up with after such a long preparation time? Great! I just pity those poor job seekers going home with serious psychological blows 4 Likes |

Bluffly:I don't need your goals or objectives. I don't care if you have leadership skills or not. Infact I don't care if they are introverts or sadist. All I want is a brain that can learn how to solve complex financial problems in the short period. I am a perfect introvert myself and I dislike chatting...just solve the problem before you that is all. 3 Likes |
