fabulousLady:
Thank you. I want a scholarship for a chemistry related course. I don't really want Europe cos that was the only place I was trying before. I got to understand that scholarships are very difficult to get in Europe because they are more interested with the profit, so they easily give admission but with the scholarship giving bodies it is toooo competitive.

I know people are still grieving. I hope this joke didn’t come too early, and I apologise if it does.

Now that you have gotten the APL if you like continue to broadcast it even after your resumption, you will learn how to return what is not yours the hard way

I spent over 100K for flights and accommodation for the interview I got 40K for transport, they're still owing me 60K....

Brother, you literally need career switch..
Am an engineer, I applied for many job offers after my NYSC last year.

Non invited me for interview, I had to dive in into IT,
I started with HTML5, CSS3 and javascript with low background knowledge of computer, I never knew I was doing myself good. Less I forget, it took me only 5 months to mastered all.

I neither have a tutor nor coach, it was self taught.
By God's grace I was able to convinced the panel, how safety related issues could be tackled in the organization using my risk assessment sheet that is yet to be developed..

I am a chronic stammerer, but I still got the APL.

I recommend this books for you,

jon duckett HTML and CSS

Jon duckett javascript and jquerry

Eloquent javascript new edition

Freecodecamp. org ,they have good resources and videos

Best of Luck!

I'm not disputing this about nnpc cos it's a common knowledge that they do allowances. But this mentality of "maybe they are testing me" should be discouraged when you are negotiating salary with a normal naija firm because you will likely end up short changing yourself.

Regardless of where you were, you would have fed and bought gas or commuted to work. So take that out.

We were informed early enough for one to book flight tickets ahead of time. You should have done so and you needed only one or two nights in Abj.
I was just trying to tell that the post was cocky.

Bros if you travel go city, you suppose flex small. Chop life make life no chop you.
You only live once

Goldwatch:


Take it easy bro/sis.
A return ticket from Lag/Ph/Sokoto/Yola to Abuja is less than 50k. Even 2 one-way tickets are slightly less. So did you fly business class or premium and did you choose a luxury accommodation.
Yes, your expenses def were more than the TF given but please be factual and don't always exaggerate. Apparently you weren't shrewd with your money and NNPC shouldn't pay for your extravagance.

sacx:


You na correct guy. Chop life gang. Where that zobo girl? Gi'an one zobo

I have read comments on this thread that almost got me into tears.

The accounts of those that did not get the jobs are very touching. I was almost moved to tears by some of them. I can imagine the pressure, the expectation, the hope.

It’s just how life is.

It’s not the end of life. In my final year in Ife in 2006, I had a classmate that could barely pay the N17k school fees. He struggled to raise the money till the last day. He was my good friend. Very brilliant guy (first class actually) but from a very humble home.

When we graduated and started job hustling, anytime he came to Lagos, he used to squat with me in my brother’s house. Sometimes, I would even be the one to “dash” him N500 for transport fare back to his state (in the SW).

He wrote the test of Accenture and they said he didn’t pass.

We both wrote the test of an investment management firm in 2006 (we started job hunting even before NYSC) immediately after graduation. I got the job. He didn’t get it.

His morale was affected. Everyone knew he was more brilliant than I was. His confidence was being affected but he soldiered on.

Guess what? In 2008, few weeks after out NYSC, he got job in an IOC that is perceived to be the best place to work in Nigeria.

That changed his life and that of his family and his generation.

The last time we saw, in 2016, he just “warmed” his new house in Lekki which cost him over N60m. I don’t have that despite starting earlier than him. That’s aside his house in his hometown.

This was someone that was rejected by Accenture and Vetiva, small firms.

So guys, NNPC rejection is not the end of life. We have all been rejected by one employer or the other at one point in life. I failed GTB test in 2007 or so (first time I’m saying this anywhere). Today, I probably earn more than a senior manager in GTB. If I had passed the job test in 2007, I would not even have risen to become a manager in GTB today given the multilayered bank career ladder.

So guys, the race is not for the swiftest as the Christians say. And as we Muslims say, what will hit you will not miss you.

More people should be encouraged to try out entrepreneurship and farming. CBN has been doing some great things with the anchor borrower scheme. These kinds of testimonies you shared are rare and I don't advice anyone to be too focused on it even though they exist.
People should look to build capacity more and apply to different directions. I saw the amount of hope folks had on this NNPC recruitment as a I am a follower of one the active posters on the thread. The next one maybe some years away.
