fellow nairalanders, i applied for chevron drilling representatives and i was not invited for a test.

i have a b.eng (second class upper) degree in mining engineering, six months industrial training experience with Schlumberger Oilfield services in Port Harcourt, a certificate in survival at sea/helicopter underwater escape trainning (valid till october this year) and another in "introduction to schlumberger Petrel workflow tools". (for those that do not know, this software is used for geomodelling which i did as my thesis reseach topic.

i included all this documents in my application and was still not invited for the test.

the reasons i could come up with is perheps because i submitted on the last day, or because i have just started my service year (this is obvious by the 2007 date on my statement of result)

Please i need those that were invited for the test to shed some light as to what they added or did to get invited for the test. thanks

Yeah I think that may not be true cos they are inviting in batches(i.e those 4rm lag then abj and then others) so it depends on then address on your cv if not you are overqualified
so dont worry, it happens u know.just be cool you will soon get tired of writing tests

obiki   you already have the answer. You can imagine a situation where thousands of people are writing an exam(2.1 and 2.2) how hectic it would be. of course the HR guys have a capacity they can handle(they are not machines and even at that). So by the time you had submitted, they most likely would have had the number of candidates they can handle. it should have been on a first come first serve basis. Except probably, they decided to put you in place of someone who submitted earlier. enthusiasm matters a lot you know , not just the grade.
