Well said @TGM2015

On a final note peeps, as you eat your Christmas rice this December, also pray about your success.

Have a lovely day, people

Sorry for too many questions, but in your case study group interview last year, did you feel like you contributed more than your peers?

captain1990:


Hi Dear,

Everyone has an equal chance to be selected despite the day you were being accessed.

You might be the last person to be accessed and turn out to be the best.

Thanks dear. God bless you

TGM2015:
Congratulations to all who have been assessed. Majority of you perform above average, hence, I may conclude that if anyone is yet to receive invitation for assessment centre, the possibility of ever getting it is zero.

The invitation for medicals will possibly be sent by last week of December or first week of January. This is logically affirmed as the Training School was planned to start by mid/late January (all things being equal).

Please note that chances of being selected is not based on when or where the candidate were being assessed. And also noted that your certificate and documents are not being verified in the assessment centre. The originals to be sighted to confirm if the candidate possesses the minimum qualification requirements for the recruitment. Verification of results are done after the documentation and Training school, usually by an third party company.

Wishing you all the best in everything.

Thanks dear

okay. I had similar encounter with workforce top talent graduate trainee, I had my AC on the last day and I've not heard from till now. however, they contacted others that had theirs at earlier dates but none among those i met who had their AC on the last date was called.

I get your point too. They better not try such. Mine is Dec 10

peacenaija:
@ TGM2015 and captain1990, those who had their AC at earlier dates, do they have better chances than those who will do their AC at later dates?

Naso . Everyone has equal chances.

TGM2015:

Possibly there will not be a stage. It will just be a room with 2 - 4 people (just like an official interview) where you are required to present (tell them):

1. what you believe are the underlying root cause of identified problems in the situation (case study) you read;
2. what possible actions that wrongly taken and missing controls that may have prevented such to occur such problems (what actions or decisions that supposed to have been taken or made);
3. corrective solutions to the problem (what should be done to reverse the effects of the wrong actions and decisions);
4. steps or actions that you are convinced of, that when taken will prevent such problems to occur in the future (your recommendations and suggestive solutions);
5. (if time permits) the current effects and future implications of the identified problems if you recommendations and suggestions are not urgently implemented.

So, take the case study as your friends narrating his/her workplace problems to you (though you have no opportunity to ask questions for clarification but assumptions are allowed and must be made known when presenting). You ask for time to get back to him/her, though you are limited in this case to minutes contained in the instructions. Then see the panel as group of friends to whom you're telling (noticed I used tell them earlier) your view of the situation and how best they should go about solving the problem and things to do not to allow recurrent of such.

Google effective presentation skills and somehow try to
1. Practice presentations of similar things with friends two or more times,
2. Look above the panels eye level and prepare your mind to see them as your friends (you be amazed that you brain can condition your mind to do that),
3. Tell them, you don't need academic or intellectual show here (at least, assessment center, primarily is to evaluate skills and not knowlledge) you opinion of the situation at hand (the cause, solution to correct and prevent future occurrence).

They will ask you questions after your presentation. This is either to get information on some aspects of the case you missed out (attention to details) or get clarification on your recommendations or description of the case given. So don't panic, tell them if you know it and if not be honest to admit you don't commit the details to heart (most times, this always relates to figures and numbers). But at least, immediately and the word BUT after acknowledging that and tell them brief about it a short and simple sentence. For example, I sincerely do not commit the actual number to heart, BUT. I observed that the GDP have been increasing from quarter to quarter with less than 1%.

Skills to be test for personal (individual presentations) are innovative thinking, problems analysis and problems solving skills, attention to details.

For group work, make sure you contribute to discussions at least. This is just to identify some (dominan) personality traits. Are you a dominant person or reserved? These may determine where you may be deployed to if eventually you are successful, whether front office, middle office or back office.

Summary, be yourself and don't be too academic. They are not assessing your academic intelligence, this has already been done with the first two stages.

Hope these help? Thank you.

God bless you abundantly. Thanks

TGM2015:

No, but may give preference to first class graduates before second class upper.

What about Chartered accountants?

TGM2015:
Congratulations to those who have been invited for AC. If successful, you will receive an invitation for medical and then invitation for final documentation and Training school.

Successful candidates shall be contacted before year end or second week next year. And the Training School to start late January or early February.

I will try to get information about documents that successful candidates will possibly be requested to present for documentation because is will always be short notice for documentation and Training School. It is always better to get those documents complete at documentation or latest 2nd week of training school.

Best of lucks to you all.

Please, I have stage fright. Do I begin by saying good morning all or what. How do I introduce myself and the topic

luchee:

Hello dear, thanks a lot for your kindness. Expecting your good news.
Quick question please. Did you have to make visual presentations (PowerPoint slides) or was it just verbal presentations? Thanks

Someone said they made use of flip charts

captain1990:
Good afternoon everyone

I read through the thread and I could remember how it was some years back for me too.

Congrats to those that have been scheduled for the assessment centre.

In order not to be caught unawares, try and practise how to solve case studies within a limited time frame .

For you to be successful, you must nail both the individual presentation and the group presentation.

Be confident, think before you talk and be at the top of your game (remember you've got only one shot at this)

I wish everyone the best and hope to see your faces soon.

Thanks a lot. How has it been working for UBN?

yebzman:
Hello, those who sent me PM, sorry I can't reply but would try and answer any questions here for all to see.

It was conducted by UBN staff, senior management were assessors.


U face the panel individually.


Almost Same as this. Last year

Thanks a lot

yebzman:
I noticed all that have taken the AC cleverly evaded the question of 'How was it'
Owk, It was Fyn... A normal, typical AC with group and individual presentation. We were about 15 divided into two groups and given a case study to analyze. It's pretty simple to do.
Just when I tot companies where ridiculous with age limit...
I meet several persons with Masters at < 23 competing for the same Job.
The staff were very friendly and the whole environment was relaxed and we related well with everyone.

Thanks. Please, what was the time duration??

Ukez15:

it was fine how...
abeg finefirl23 answer the question constructively..

how was it?

Hehehe .

Abeg, you guys should help us out nah, at least let's have an idea of what the AC entails

Suavepaschal:
So I've been refreshing my mail for the past 30 minutes. Lemme go to one corner and listen to James Blunt' Cry

Don't worry, just be calm

fayvableu:


Yay!! Same here oo..When is yours?

12 Dec. Yours?

Thank you Jesus. Just got my invite now

ajstyles3:

I was just invited for the assessment centre this morning. Oba akran lagos

Thank God you wrote this morning, meaning that there is still hope

Deuces22:


Ma'am, I will say thank you for the info but there was something I noticed about the post; I'm sorry to say o but I think u sounded kinda authoritative concerning a point u didn't seem too sure about. Yes, peeps from Lag and PH have been invited for the AC in Abj but I don't think dat shud explicitly connote dat anyone yet to get a mail was obviously unsuccessful in the test.
I know for sure that we all cannot be at the assessment centre simultaneously cos of crowd control thingy. What if those that wrote in Lag but got an invitation to be assessed in Abj actually filled a place close to abj (Kaduna for example) as their residential state while registering and they were asked to come down to abj for d assessment due to d proximity ( Kaduna to Lag is farther than Kaduna to Abj).
u wud av also contradicted urself if AC is to resume in Lag next week and all successful applicants av been contacted like u said, this is a contradiction because I don't think anyone has been contacted to d effect dat he/she will be assessed in Lag. If urs reads lagos, signify! then I will bring down this post and eat my words.

I av only drawn a conclusion from the premise I have on ground, my argument can actually be wrong sha. Even if I am wrong, I personally do not see any company as my "all in all" as I bliv even the unsuccessful applicants here might simply be destined for better things. Thank you.

Nobody with a Lagos address, has been contacted for the AC

eseh1:
yeah very right...i did verification in Abuja but my address on my application is Lagos...so I was even hoping that if I get a mail for AC at Abuja, I will plead for a reschedule at lag cos am back to my base..anyway I no get any mail�...i think let's just take our minds off it...if dem call us then fine...

I think we should just chill. From what I have gathered so far, nobody has been invited for the AC in Lagos

reetah1994:

I can't say!But lagos AC starts next week and would run for 2weeks. If you don't get an invite between now and that period then I guess You weren't successful. Cus after lagos then that would be all for AC

OK thanks

reetah1994:
Invites have been sent to those that were successful in abj,lagos and PH. People in PH will write in lagos next week. This week is for abuja then lagos is from next week. The AC in lagos will be conducted for 2 weeks because they are combining both PH and Lagos candidates. This info is from HR direct. You are welcome!

Does this imply that one isn't successful if one hasn't received an invite??

Finegirl23:
I did the AC in abuja today. One of us was a guy from lagos. He wrote the test in lagos but AC was abuja.

Does this mean that AC is over??

Ninaann39:
I think so

Unbelievable
