Former Colleague-Core staff?
What does this even mean, so they made people sit for series of test, interviews, and so on..to now realize this? Had a gut feeling that this delay is beyond re-org. Re-org ended since Sept'25.

Re-org did not end last year. It was clearly published on chevron website that the re-org will be ending at the end of 2026. Go check the info again on their website. Those who were invited can call the number on the invitation to get confirmation if the recruitment is still on or not. I have made that confirmation and the reply was that we will hear from them. All this different news from staff who know nothing about the recruitment is just surprising

I made a call to a chevron staff, I dont want to mention his name. He told me with full confidence that we will get feedback from them. That they are still on the process. But when are we to get the feedback I dont know and I did not ask him. But he assured me that we will hear from them

You just said my mind. I know he was not even called for interview, He said he is using common sense, one year experience common sense. So you can see a baby of one year common sense talking and you want to waste your time with him. Leave him to continue using his one year common sense to talk, when he finish he will go and sleep

mrlee2:
Why are you so bothered about the exercise? You said it yourself that you didn't bother to show up for the interview, so let those with hope continue to hope. Don't cry more than the bereaved.

These are some of the position that wrote aptitude test in chevron. You can check check it yourself. All are less than 5 years experience. Infact they even needed 0 experience in some, so aptitude test is welcome. But for 5 years and above, no aptitude test. Seplat are even looking for 7 years and above

Chevron conducted aptitude test for the Engineering positions, go and check the years of experience for those positions. They are less than 5 years. The other experience positions that chevron advertised that were 5 years experience and above was just skill test

Sam451:
My brother. What you need to understand is that the first test to take in experience hire in any of these recruitment process is Aptitude Test. Seconded by Skill test base on your field of study. Last year Chevron conducted Skill test after the aptitude test for Experience Hire. You can confirm it.

That is what you think but that is not how it is. Ask people who apply for electrical specialis, rotating equipment specialist, operators, reliability specialist etc in chevron if they wrote any aptitude test. Ask people who apply for TotalEnergies Senior Rotating Equipment Engineer if they wrote any aptitude test. Also ask people who apply for Savannah Energy mechanical technician, mechanical lead, senior instruments engineer etc if they wrote any aptitude test. I know of guys who apply for some international job in middle east, all they did is Skill test. Aptitude test are for less than 5 years experience not for 5 years and above. It is only exxonmobil I have seen that combined both aptitude and skill test which is not even normal.

I disagree with you. Skill test are for experience hire not aptitude test. Aptitude test are for freshers. Last year/ this year, chevron advertised for experience position and all the test were skill test based on the field you applied for, TotalEnergies did the same thing and the test was skill test base on the field you applied for. Savannah Energy did the same thing and it was skill test base on the field you applied for. For experienced hire, you won't get the best hand with aptitude test

eb4life:
Omo! That's serious o 😅. But on a serious note I want to ask a question o, is aptitude test the best way to recruit experienced hands for positions that require experience, I want to believe aptitude tests should be for graduate trainees with little or know experience in the field just academic qualifications.
My reason is that l, if you subject someone who has left school for 8 or more years to be solving one ratio, percentage work or answering one verbal reasoning stuff, you will end up recruiting mostly inexperienced hands. I think the best should have been a test that is job specific, I stand to be corrected sha

🖕 In response to the above from @ shalom4eva:

Aptitude test is a prerequisite for any standard company employment whether experienced or inexperienced hire positions.
If you had read my post above, you will understand that seplat as a company has an employee referral policy or program where it's employees refers individuals who they know are experienced in a job role , (you can Google seplat employee referral program) , this refered individuals are also meant to pass through the same aptitude test as you /we, but their score doesn't really stop them from being invited for the physical interview with others who applied online, it's at this point that those who referred those candidates makes sure that their candidates are hired, seplat even compensate those their employees for referring those the trust and are certain that they have the pre-required experience on the role. But with God everything is possible.Company like Nlng often advertise for trainee technician, without prior working experience and put them through an aptitude test, my friend scored high on the test and was further invited for an oral ,after which he was told by one of the interviewers that he's an ideal candidate, but later he wasn't contacted by Nlng. So in summary, the recruitment process in our dear country is just like the election process, but we keep trying.

They have called Rotating Equipment Specialist

moorerice:
Disqualification? Are you sure? Cos it's only the "be patient" mail that we saw.

Yes disqualification. Probably they find out something. The person status on the career site is now showing process complete. The guy don't really know what happened but am suspecting they find out that he arrange his CV differently to apply for more than one position.

Which position did the person that got hold on mail apply for?

Tokete:
Who else got an holding mail that the recruitment is still ongoing?

Did you get any holding mail? I only know of some one that got disqualification mail

livinuschukwug:
The only interview invite i have seen is ASSOCIATE OPERATOR INTERVIEW AT MARRIOT HOTEL IKEJA July 30TH 2025 AND JULY 31ST 2025. IF YOU WERE INVITED FOR INTERVIEW POST YOUR DEPARTMENT, DATE AND VENUE!

You are correct, I know of two people they invited. They got the invite today

Hunter102:
October Roles that have been invited for interview so far:
Associate Operator
Mechanical Technician
Instruments Technician
Rotating Equipment Specialist

Just dey deceive yourself. Before you say operator do interview and they ask what is PPE. Now operator no dey your list. Nobody out of all the crowd hear that wrote the test get invite for interview but only know the role that has don interview and the role to do next. Your uncle na chevron HR Manager. Just dey fool yourself

upengineer:
In as much as you are correct, the advert states that you should have some level of experience. The operator role is minimum of 3years maximum of 10years or so. Meaning the job role needs a minimal level of experience. I have had the opportunity to attend operator interview NOT chevron, P&ID questions and separator questions will always come up. Remember your intended Supervisor, Supretendent or even OIM will be among the interview panel. They will ask technical questions. The difference between the person that will be called two days after interview and the person that will be on waiting list is how you answer the questions asked by your line manager. Imagine answering behavioural and situational questions very well and you don't know what you will be do incase of high level in surge drum. No line manager will approve your employment

Try to understand the kind of question to expect in an interview when you write a technical skill test and when you write aptitude test. For you to pass a technical skill test, the interview panel already know you are sound technically. Going back as low as asking what is P&ID as an interview question for some one who has passed an operator technical skill test sound childish. At this point, they are looking for other aspect of your ability not your technical ability. More of the questions are situational questions that required instant thinking or explaining some situations you have handled in the past as well as behavioural questions to know how you fit into the company goals

Hunter102:
The interview later held today and they asked this questions :
What is PPE , and mention the basic examples of PPE
what's operator routine duties and why is it important
What's HUEST and BOSIET in offshore
What's P&ID, and what are the scenarios that can make you use it
What is zero energy state of an equipment and how can you achieve that
What are the precaution to do before breaking a flange containing oil and gas

Ten questions in total, but I cannot remember the last 3 questions
It is chevron from what the guy said(agbami deep water)

Just dey deceive yourself. For your mind you think you are deceiving people. I just dey wonder how come people are believing this guy. I see why people fall easily to 419. Chevron no see any question to ask Operator for interview na to ask you what is HUET and what is PPE. Over 5 years experience operator. Dey deceive yourself

Sampo123:
You are right the materials you sent to me for the rotating equipment specialist position was similar to the questions set for me. The only issue I had was the assay part. I was taken on awares I didn't expect such a part. But any ways we give God thanks for the best.

What I am giving applicants scheduled for the Chevron Nigeria Limited Operator Skills Test even contains all those aspects you mentioned above, everyone please take note this Chevron Nigeria Limited Operator Skills test is international, some applicants in India, Malaysia and even Pakistan have been contacting me for the Chevron Nigeria Limited Operator Skills Test questions and answers.

Sampo123 I send you a mail, can you please reply let's talk

Sincerely the material the guy is advertising are not bad, they will give you insight and open your mind to what you can expect. Though I have strong experience in rotating equipment, I decide to get the material to see what is in it, and the material are not bad, it will help any one who did not have sound field experience. But he should just slow down the advert, people will see his past post and contact him

You might need to reach out to FIJ. They are known for calling out airlines who fail to refund customers for unused tickets.

Thank you very much, I have done that now, let me see the outcome

Green Africa Airline council my PH/LOS to and fro flight twice and I apply for refund, is almost two months now that I applied for refund and no refund has been made, I have called them several times, i have send several mails with no result.

Please has anybody ever been refunded by Green Africa Airline? How long did it take and how did you go about it?

Please I will so much appreciate any response, my 200k is with them and they don't want to refund it

If you think the message is for next stage, you are just wasting your time, I choose to be quiet since but now let me clear some air.

My wife and her younger sister took the test, both of them are EH and both are from Abia state. My wife wrote on the 15th and score above 50% and the sister wrote on the 14th and score below 50%. My wife sister who score low got this new message from testmi but my wife that score high did not and both are from the same state. I did the application for both of them. Both of them use 60minute for the test.

If it is not an error message, are you then saying that testmi or the recruiter has now choose to invite those that score low from the same state for the next stage. I have not seen where that is done before.

If that message from testmi is not an error message, then is going to be a re- write of another aptitude test not stage 2. Most people who got the message are people who wrote on the 14th that the network was bad

Gmajor:
No matter how you try to paint it, there is no denying that having 90% is a step in the right direction.
At least, you'll know that the probability of being invited to the interview stage is high.
I wish I had 90% joor

Is very true that 90% is a step in the right direction and they stand a good chance of been called for interview. But it will interest you to know that recruiters behave strange some times because they know what you can score under a normal condition. It can surprise you that they may call people who score 50% to 70% or 80%.

In TOTAL Trainee Production Operator 2010, my guys who got the material just go inside the exam hall shade correct answer. But Total knowing that most guys have the material did not call those that score very high without any proof of calculation on their rough sheet. Those that score not too low where called. So any thing can happen. Is better you score 70% to 80% even if u have test material to stand more chance

Am not saying NCDMB will do what TOTL did but you cannot tell. But each recruiter know which test result is possible and which is not possible

nasiest:
Look at how you took your time in giving inconsistent and wrong information here. DPR 2009/2010 recruitment was concluded successfully. I know three people that got the job without connection. Even in DPR 2016 recruitment I still know one person that got experience hire based on connection. The best is do your best and leave the rest to God, if you get in you get in. What I have noticed here on this nairaland is that some people wants to talk for talking sake without any evidence to back it up. NCDMB conducted recruitment in 2015 and some people got it on merit too. This is Nigeria where everything is possible. So oga calm down!!!

Chief u are very wrong. In 2012 i work with DPR as an adhoc staff in port harcourt. I submit my daily report to the zonal head. I was in DPR office port harcourt for 6 months. The Zonal head was lamenting that they are lacking junior staff and the recruitment they conducted was inconclusive. The reason he gave for the inconclusive is wat i will not tell you. So go and ask those your 3 guys dat you know when and where they got their letter from.

You are the one giving wrong information to support your claim. The information am giving you is not from a guy who toke part in the recruitment but from a top management staff of DPR. Till today i still visit the office if i want to

My friend, those your 3 guys, what they got is imagination offer letter

Any way i have important things to attending to, i cant waste my time arguing with you. Know that i dont say things base on what i read from nairaland.

I think most people here do not really know the history of DPR and NNPC recruitment. Maybe they just start looking for job in the past 5 years or less. Let me enlighten you a little. DPR and NNPC always have poor recruitment process. You should even be happy that they conclude their recent recruitment and some people get the job without connection.

In 2008, NNPC advertised, after test and interview, the recruitment ended, nobody was taking no matter your connection. In 2010 they advertise again, this time is was concluded and most people get the job without connection. In 2014 they advertise again, after test and successful mail to those who pass the test, the recruitment end and no body get the job no matter your connection. In 2019, they advertise again and it was concluded and some people get the job without connection. Maybe the next recruitment will be inconclusive again according to their recruitment history.

As for DPR, for the past 14 years, DPR has only advertised two times and only one of this recruitment was concluded which is the 2016 recruitment. The one of 2009/ 2010 was inconclusive, no body was taken after test and interview. Some people without connection got the job in 2016 believe it or not.

What can we say about NCDMB recruitment history. The only history we have is their training recruitment which has been credible. Lets wait and see if they will apply the same pattern of recruitment for training to this staff recruitment before we compare them with NNPC and DPR that have history of bad recruitment process.

Connection dont really work much in experience hire, you cannot bring an accountant to fill the role of mechanical or electrical engineer. For those NNPC and DPR you always refer to, the connection only work more on the graduate trainee position and most people especially experience hire still get the job without connection.

Even if NCDMB will take one person on merit, cant you tell yourself that you are that one person and stop preaching about what happen in NNPC and DPR.

Abokii8:
You people should stop making it look like they have shortlisted. Eligibility has no guarantee that you will write the test. I have seen an application number of up to 50k, meaning that alot have applied.

Chief no vex oo, na where u see application number of 50k? U dey the recruitment team? Now i see why most people start having high BP at the age of 30 years or below. You just believe every information that you see and you start worrying yourself over nothing. Some one who knows you worry about any information you see will wake up and great an anxiety for you by giving you unsubstantiated information just for you to worry, and as you worry yourself, he will be some where reading you post and laughing at you. Dont you know that some people who did not qualify to apply can be reading post on this trend and be posting information just to make you worry. My status is selected, my status is eligible, my status is invited. If those status are true, what will you do, and if they are false, what will you also do.

You have applied and no one has been called for test. Every one is a prospective candidate. Go and sleep, prepare d little you can prepare and leave the rest for God. But mind you, you have to listen to God for God to also listen to you request, try your best to keep to his requirements.

If you want to leave long, worry less

Hello Babacha, I sent you a PM please kindly check your mailbox.

I have replied ur PM

ennyj01:
Okay bro, cool.

May God see is through

U are owing me one bottle of water. That is only wat i need from u when u get the job

TheWizPhoenix:
Oga the way you are going on about this your pro merit activism is rather not it, allow people to shield themselves from the rocky terrain that is the Nigerian labour market especially as it relates to Federal govt recruitments. It has become a coping mechanism for applicant's mental health from the jungle out here, because for some people their grades/age already puts them at a disadvantage in the private sector.

There's no one here that will not want to be a recipient/beneficiary of whatever the percentage slots of the merit candidates are. Because at the end of the day, the vast majority of us don't know anybody and as such we're only putting our hope on that. One thing we must not do is lie to ourselves or downplay the fact that connection plays a major role in federal government recruitments and that already stacks the odds against the numerous candidates who don't know anybody.

Most of us here have participated in one or numerous govt recruitments and we all know what the popular outcome has always been, we only continue applying because we are hoping for that breakthrough. Personally, I have learnt that a lot of people will be shouting merit while pressing buttons in the background and that was evident in my time on the DPR thread where people were shouting merit up and down, but at the end of the day the story was different.

This is not to dampen anyone's spirit, but just to let us know not to swallow every tale of merit with hook, line and sinker. And all the best to everyone in their endeavors and also in the course of the recruitment process.

So we should start discussing connection here na, get my point clear, ur shouting connection, connection. That will not help any body here. How will u feel if a doctor tell u dat the chances of surviving what is disturbing is low, will it dampen ur spirit? And how will u feel if another doctor tell u dat what is disturbing u is a small tin to handle? Will dat lighting ur spirit? The power of the mind is very strong, if u give urself hope, u achieve great tins, but if u lose hope before the fight, u can never win.

I dont care wat happen at the end after all not every one will get the job, but dont kill any body fighting spirit. Some times connection dont work d way u think. Let me tell u some tin that happen within this covid-19 period. Because of the fear of the outbreak of covid-19 in offshore facilities, my company have to tell many of us to stop work. My back to back is from the same community with the HR of my company and he is very close to the HR. He is the one that give me information of wat is going on. But to my surprise the company call me first to resume now that tins has normalised and he has not been called with his closeness and connection to the HR. Most times ur performance speak more than ur connection.

Am not saying there is no connection. If u have worked in a private company, u find out that there more connection and man know man in the private company than the goverment company. But am not an advocate of connection. Because there are thousands of people out there lik me who dont have connection and i cant kill their fighting spirit. What i preach is "fight for it, u will get it, dont demoralise urself with the connection of others u already have the greatest connection in the world - God " am not forcing any body to accept my preaching, but that is what i preach. I give realistic hope to people.

Thank u

ennyj01:
I have gone through your profile, I saw you applied for DPR 2016. So what happened there? They did not pick merit or what?

Are u dreaming? please wake up. Where did u see me apply for DPR? Is that what ur village people told u? Sorry, they have lied to u. Go and tell them that i have NEVER apply for DPR job before.

I dont know why u still want to believe that connection is the only best way to get a job. Change that mind set if u want to make progress in ur job hunting
