Was it really necessary? Freeze behaves like an overgrown baby a times though.

An overgrown baby?

sexyjob:
Nice, my mail is hi.sexyjob@gmail.com

I've sent a mail to you.

sexyjob:
Sorry dear, I don't use that tool.

Alright. I wanted to speak with you privately ni

sexyjob:
Serious!, I had many firsts in this exam.

sexyjob, I just sent an email. Check your mailbox.

freeradical:
Just thinking out loud

Could it be that NLNG have grouped all the AC candidates into pools and it's based on this classification that feedbacks are being sent.
Could it be that those that got their closure already were in the first pool which comprises of those that had their AC in the first week of the AC across all centres i.e abuja, lagos and PH.

Could it be that in the near future some more mails will be sent to candidates in the second pool which comprise of those that had their AC in the second week across all centres i.e abuja, lagos and PH.

What am I rambling about sef.....when you r left in the dark for so long (without closure a day can feel like a thousand years ) you notice how your thoughts amplify perhaps until you see the LIGHT

Someone who did his AC at the end of July as been called

naastyme:
Hello @artmedia, Did the email give specific details on where you would be doing the Med? I am assuming the emails sent are to those currently in Nigeria. Correct me if I am wrong, pls @Boshemann, @sexyjob, @Cashme28 and @Faroak

Well, I'm in Nigeria.

And the email gave a specific place.

Looks like someone is sending the mails one by one.
I got mine few minutes ago

airsaylongcon:
I still DO NOT think it's done and dusted. For some reason I refuse to accept that.

For those talking about miracles, I concur. From those sisters that wanted to climb different stairs I'm WAEC to that Data Checking in SHL to the presentation at AC, these are all situations when I said "Mehn, e done be! I sure say I fit pass like this?" I was particularly worried about the presentation in AC as in my personal evaluation I had goofed big time mehn. Misquoted some stats and even alleged that the problematic employee wasn't meeting target even though that was very incorrect. So yes for me it has been a miracle galore this whole process. And I can only expect that it's the same for a whole lot. There's still one gorgeous lady I know without a doubt will get an email. You know who you are!

And to the July Z crew (all those of us that wrote on a particular day last July) I know Bonny Girl has gotten an invite. I misplaced my phone and lost all your contacts so it'd be nice if we connect. PM me

Lastly, I was born June 6.

Happy Birthday

Indeed, Winter is coming... Whether in this season or next.

majekdom2:
I am not wrong baba. Recruiting has slowed in many oil and gas companies because of the slump in oil price. It is what I know. Make I grab my mail show you. No pride here and I am telling you your angle is totally flawed based on experiences. I personally and I have couple of friends that have been lodged for a quite a lengthy time in hotels because of the business need.

You really think you'd want to commute from PH to Bonny on a daily basis? I don't think there are "good enough" hotels in Bonny, able to house 30+ people for 3+ months....

lawisong:
This page still dey? Everlasting NLNG Recruitment of over 3 years ago. I've changed two juicy jobs and this Recruitment is yet to be completed. If u guys get sense make una go find something do and leave NLNG wit their phantom 10 years Recruitment or else ur mates will be thinking of collecting their pension and u'll still be here doing recruitment.

A joke I presume?

cashme28:

As an international Recruiter,
I have noticed some things that hinder my recruitment in Nigeria, it is heart breaking when someone comes to me and says I'm relocating to the USA or Canada or wherever, what placement can you get for me and just by chatting with the person, I know that it will have to be a menial job despite the diplomas and degrees.
There is a reason why I have Recruited over 50 expatriates from some unimaginable countries into Nigeria where they got perks like:
3 bedroom furnished apartment in the Lekki area a few bus stops away from the company
2 domestic staffs to do the cleaning, cooking and driving.
Comprehensive health insurance
Approx. 10M annual salary
28 working days paid vacation
3 working days paid leave
Approx 3M in other allowances
Return annual paid tickets to their home country annually
In some cases a lesser paying job for the spouse is guaranteed.

I have facilitated the purchase of some Multi Million houses which Companies bought for their expatriate staffs. The minimum being 700M for 20 units of 3 bedroom flats, and some up to 2 Billion just for these expatriates.

You must be thinking why, below are some of the reasons in my opinion.
1. Education
Our universities don't help matters, they split one course into 3 units for students to study and graduate and use 20 years old techniques / syllabus to teach. As a result, fresh Nigerian graduates and even West African graduates can not stand fresh graduates from other parts of the world until they have experience or go for more classes. I begin to ask, what is the craze to get admission and graduate for?

2. Lack of seriousness on the part of the students
As if that isnt enough, many of their results were bought in the sense that in a new setting, they can't defend this result. A Bsc Econs holder couldn't pass an exam to place her in a 200level equivalent in the USA. While in school, a lot of them joined cults and turned to private prostitutes just to get the good grades. News Flash!!! Recruiters are fully aware and can't be deceived.

3. Inability to speak good English
What breaks my heart now is that many of them can't speak good English. They are well educated in the best schools but nothing to show for it. If that cert. goes missing today, and they have the opportunity to write another exam to receive a new result, 80% won't pass. Yes, English isn't our mother tongue but when you want a job in a company where English language is spoken, you have to speak English too. Your command of English is highly important. It can speak a lot about you even before you present your certs.

4. Greed
Now, once in a while, I see a graduate who has ticked all the wrong boxes still forming "I know my worth and wont settle for less". I'll simply tell you to call me next week as that's when I'll be recruiting for the big fishes and that will be the end. The bad part of these incompetence is that you never know you have them. Hence, there's nothing to lower those over inflated egos.

5. Nonchalant attitude
Some feel once they have gotten their certs esp. the 1st class and 2nd class upper, they have tried abeg. Cut them some slack, give them a break. But they don't understand that its just the beginning. You must seek more exposure by all means. Keep reading, keep find ways to polish your trophy, keep learning from those who are there.
For example; I can say, 90% of graduates, cant write a standard cover letter, 85% cant write a standard Resume / CV. My mum looked at an applicants cv one day, laughed and said, My CV was as naive as this when I applied for my first job. Meaning, that CV was in vogue in the 1970's!!! I'll talk more on the CV later.

6. Unrealistic desires
Okay, we all know you didn't spend years in the Uni for nothing. You didn't go to Boko Haram infested areas during your service for nothing etc. But baby, its time to wake up! Life isn't rosy anymore. There is tight competition out there. There are over 2000 people better than you graduating every year. The best tool you have when job hunting is experience. I daresay experience is more valuable than degrees in some cases. Start where you are as long as i can recharge your phone, transport you to and from work and pay your basic bills, it will be worth it.
Learn from Dami:
Dami (not real name) ticked 3 wrong boxes and due to the strict requirement, could never see the light of the job. What did Dami do?
He wrote a new application letter volunteering to work for free only asking to be allowed to benefit from the Company's transport as he lives far. 2 years later, Dami got a job in that company as an Assistant Mgr.

7. Lack of Packaging
You are a brand, you wish to be the face of a company, how can you sell the company in a good image if you can't sell yourself? Start with your CV and cover letter.
I don't care where you are from unless the job specifically asked for candidates from a particular region. telling me you have an experience as a waiter in a 7* hotel when applying for the post of a teacher will make me shove your resume in the bin.
Indicate all that apply and leave out the unnecessary details. I skim through 80 - 100 Cv's in 1hr or more. Meaning at a glance, I want to see what I want shouting back at me in your resume. Keep it straight to the point and Brief. Don't lie! Be creative, learn new ways to write a cv. Always ask someone who likes you to proof read for you. Always run a spell check. Don't have one CV. I have more than 8. Always create a new CV to fit the new job. Indicate in the section for skills, all your skills which was listed as a requirement.

8. Failing to test all spirits
Apply to all positions you feel you are qualified for.
Secret: You don't need to have it all. Hr Managers are there to brush you up!

I have to stop now.
Below is the cv of a guy with just WAEC ( I edited it for him )


The other pix are for laughter effects

I'm sorry to say this, but you most definitely have been meeting the wrong people.

Mhissfab:
Loool You deleted it from the trash too? Gerrarahere my friend

I tire for the guy ooo

missyuppy:
Ok.ok.ok..I said I wouldnt comment here again till NLNG gives us feedback but then again I wonder....I just wonder what the reactions here would be like when we finally receive that "Update:Application for employment as graduate trainee in NLNG" email...would this thread still be as active as it is or will it die down in a matter of days after "that" email?

Since i started job hunting, not seen a thread so active and for this long before...Kudos to NLNG for doing this to us...pls guys,was it like this for NNPC cos i heard it also took yrs for the candidates to get feedback?

NNPC was actually worse.

PriscOlade:
Macstann, will you please be kind enough to forward the mail to my box priscababe018@yahoo.com

Thanks...

I'm wondering what you need the invite for.

Bassmo:
I had that all the people called for the group discussions have 2:1. Please is there any body that proceeded to the next stage with 2:2? Please somebody should answer me.

A friend who bagged a 2.2 was invited foe interview.

alaricsaltzman:
I got the mail oo my dear and I read it but I don't intend wearing a suit so thank you, I know why I'm asking him

So you assume if you wore a jeans and t-shirt, you'd be corrected? Whatever you wear, no one will say anything. It will just be noted on the assessment form. Simple enough.

Abdujapha:
Wow....they are throwing random topics
Was there need for the writing materials they said to come with in the mail?
Trust your group discussion went well though.

Cheers bro!!!

It was always going to be random topics na. There are a million and one topics to choose from, e.g., why does the sun rise in the east?
