hi usheray,

i think we both had similar experience. however, when i entered ASHARAMI GAAP on the search tab of my facebook page this morning it brought it for me to send a friend request which they accepted. U might try it out again to confirm. Meantime pls fill me in on what the interview is all about when d7thcaller eventually gets across, all d best

@ usheray,

Do as Cimionie told you, I will update you guys tomorrow morning with respect to the interview scope.
Best of lucks
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by d7thcaller: 12:32pm On Mar 17, 2011
@ All,

The Sahara interview process is most likely to follow this format
1. You will be requested to join a group on facebook which by now I think you guys have done that.
2. Your group on facebook will be sent the date, time, venue and dress code for the ist stage interview; venue is mostly likely going to be in their club at VI, Lagos and the dress code is likely to be a jeans with a T-shirt (different colour for each facebook group) anyways just kit up on a neat dress.
3. The interview proper goes like this;
i. You guys will be given a small folded piece of paper with different questions and asked not to open it. If it’s your turn to face the interviewers (btw 5-7) you will be asked to open the paper, read out the content and answer the question. This marks the beginning of your success. If you answer the question smartly even if it’s not correct you have greater chances to move to the next stage.
ii. Assuming you answer the ist question correctly you will now be asked the general interview question, mostly a. what u know about Sahara? , Why you think you are the most qualified / why should we offer you the job and not other waiting outside? and other questions from your resume.
iii. Generally it takes b/w 10 -20 mins depending on your performance.
iv. If you scale through you will be notified within 3 days via Facebook and you will be invited to another group on Facebook and will now enter another stage. In all you will have about 4 stages.
v. Explain of such question is
a. You are in a room and a lady is dying yet you cannot do anything. Explain what you understand or what is going on.
b. You entered a room with three switches and the light went on. Which of the switches on the light?
I will stop here for the first stage, if you get to the next stage then I will update u guys accordingly.

Note: Be yourself, be confident, the interviewers are young people properly your age mates (b/t 25 -32)

Wishing you the best of luck

Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by ozoor1: 9:53am On Mar 18, 2011

Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by d7thcaller: 10:26am On Mar 18, 2011
@ Ozoor1,

You are wrong,why can you help?

Gluck
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by d7thcaller: 10:29am On Mar 18, 2011
Sorry, why cant' you help?
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by Cimionie: 10:44am On Mar 18, 2011
d7thcaller,

well i suppose there is no problem on the face of this earth that does not have a solution to it. Even though not a permanent solution but atleast a temporal solution. i mean, i should be able to do something meaningful that could increase her life span even if its going to be for an additional minute. we are talking about life & death here, it could be me dying, hw far? does it make sense, pls advise
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by d7thcaller: 11:24am On Mar 18, 2011
@ Cimionie,

Sorry you got it wrong.
Clue: Read between the lines and try to emphasize why you cannot help;

You are in a room and a lady is dying yet you cannot do anything. Explain what you understand or what is going on.

Best of luck!
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by ozoor1: 12:23pm On Mar 18, 2011

@d7thcaller, hi. do u presently work in sahara or u got tips from some one who does. 2ndly, are you allowed to give multiple possible reasons?
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by NeboDebo: 1:39pm On Mar 18, 2011
@d7thcaller,

Please just a tot. Could it be that the lady is dying of hunger and there is no food in the room and so that is why i can't help?
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by bumba1234: 5:56pm On Mar 18, 2011
you are the dying person now, thats the answer
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by d7thcaller: 6:02pm On Mar 18, 2011
@ Iyewuna, I don't work in Sahara, trust me I know what I am saying. You cant give multiple answers. Tomorrowm I will tell you why.
@ NeboDebo your answer is wrong.
@bumber1234 your answer is wrong

@ all I will give out a recharge card of N500 to whoever gets the answer correct, If by 12noon 2mrw nobody does I will then answer it.
Guys you need to think outside the border, You are in a room and a lady is dying yet you cannot do anything.

Remember confidence is the KEY here, the interviewers are very young people so you have nothing to fear.
Best of luck
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by bumba1234: 6:05pm On Mar 18, 2011

Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by demo123: 8:52pm On Mar 18, 2011

Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by reddrose: 12:03am On Mar 19, 2011
my philosophy of life is dere is nothing imposibble, therefore,am in a helpless situation and the reason i cant help the dying woman is either cos i have either been tied down or i am also dying,
please answer d other question too, cheers
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by NeboDebo: 12:26am On Mar 19, 2011
There are 2 reasons why i cannot help the dying lady. .1. The lady is not in the same room with me and 2. In the room where i am, my hands and legs have been tied and my mouth taped so i can't shout.
Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by flyers42: 1:23am On Mar 19, 2011

Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by ozoor1: 8:13am On Mar 19, 2011

Re: Sahara Gaap Interview by teslimanif(m): 7:59pm On Mar 19, 2011
@d7thcaller

The answer is that i am incapacitated. If one is incapacitated he does not have the capability to do anything.

I guess i am right d7thcaller.
