Dragnet own is a different kettle of fish abeg. Wrote it once. Never again

Who no write dragnet

It's well.

airsaylongcome:
This!

Has to be good practice though. SHL style aptitude tests are very different from the ones generally available locally

I understand your point, last last "the idea is to have the idea" so one doesn't end up missing out.

symbolofhope:
Hello Nairalander, i have always failed job test most especially Dragnet test, could their be anything am missing out, how do you guys ace those PWC, KPMG, E&Y, Deloitte tests


I used to prepare with all seriousness and relevant past questions, thanks for your advice as usual

It's all about practice... You gotta practice to make perfect... Don't wait for interviews before you practice... There are lots of materials and websites on google... I was once in your shoes years back and I knew I had to up my game by practising more and more.

25 years sir not 5 years.

I know people who have been in the same position for up to 30 years.

Well I am not the one to answer what Mr. A do that Mr. B did not do

I guess we all need to stick to Mr A eh!

Connected1:
Where I work, someone got 7 promotions in a period of 8 years.

Anything is possible Sir, you just have to claim the glory of others, I am talking about the person I know.

This is highly possible. There are high flyers, you only see them once in a blue moon.

I can also bet that some other people have been on one position for the past 5 years in the same organization. So the question is, what did A do and B did not?

bonnyhope:
As a mgt trainee, what position were you hoping for if not assist. Mgr

I had to reply this...

From management trainee > Executive > Senior Executive > Assistant Manager.

For someone that's considered fast in the industry it takes a minimum of 2 years in between.

I'm posting this to encourage someone out there.

My job hunting days started here on NL, in fact I got my first two (2) jobs here on NL after which recommendations and reputation opened more doors for me. There was one award I won in the job hunting section as the nairalander that crashes every job thread or something like that I can't remember

Below are what have been working for me so far.

Choose a career in the right industry
Simply put, "e get some kind work wey I no fit do."

I'm a very calculative person, I was kinda selective during my early days because I knew where the money was. I also understand that you have to start little, but no matter how little please don't settle for the low tier industries.

You will be behind in all facets of life, trust me on this one.

Competence
Nobody in life except your parents will be attracted to you if you don't have anything to bring to the table. Organizations will beg to have you and also dance to your terms when you have the right skill set to get the job done.

Under this point, I'll also add smartwork and personal development.

Networking with the right people
Do not hide under a rock, simply put do not hide behind your desk from January to December.

Go out and meet the people you exchange emails with, put names to faces. Have their whatsApp numbers and connect. They know you're competent, they'll be more than happy to have you on their team or strongly refer you .

You must jump ships
Make I use pidgin talk this one, dem no dey stay one place rise to the top. The people you met there will suppress you.

The people I left in my former places of work cannot lace my shoes right now. Please I am not bragging, I'm just stating the facts.

Jumping ships attract at least 40-60% and sometimes 100%+ salary increase and also position. So you decide where you'll pitch your tent.

The first 2 points will help you jump ships at your own will and terms.

On the other hand, don't jump ships too often.

The BIG God factor
As a Christian, I cannot overemphasize this. You're not the most hardworking or brilliant mind out there, in my career journey I see people with higher qualifications than me that are way behind and I ask myself many questions.

It will pay you to run with the grace of God, believe me on this one. I attend some interviews and I ask myself if this is an interview or a hangout. There was one I attended the top two officers were asking and answering themselves questions that was meant for me .

Or how do you explain when you'll put all your life problems in your salary demand (which is higher than the industry standard by 30% or so) and the company will agree 100%. Last I checked you're not the only one in the market.

I'm still on my journey, but I just feel led to share this to encourage someone out there.

Funny enough I was in Kogi State today and the infrastructure and road network I saw was very very poor and terrible.
