Same here, i have kept that pending too. Whenever they call me fine...if they dont do that in time they have lost one valuable employee they wish they ever had.

Xenox: I've not been invited for interview.. I did my test on 8th June and I was successful. Tired of waiting though.

Want to get your PageRank up quickly? Most people don't realize that your visible PageRank is very different than your real PageRank. Google tracks your real PageRank internally, but only updates the visible PageRank (the one you can see with PR checkers) a couple times a year.
So, technically, it's impossible to speed up the timeline on your PageRank update. That said, there's a lot you can do to immediately boost your internal PageRank and improve your rankings. This will also help give you a big jump once the next PR update rolls around.

1. Buy Expired Domains
One quick and easy way to get a lot of link juice to your site quickly is to buy up high PR domains, or domains with a lot of backlinks, and 301 redirect them to your site.
This technique used to work really well, but has lost some of its effectiveness in recent years as people started to overuse it.
Instead, you can use its twin sister techniques of buying old high PR sites, putting up mini sites and linking to your site from there.

2. Target Links You Don't Have
Look at your link profile or use a backlink checker to see what kind of links you currently have. Try to get different kinds of links from the links you currently have.
Do you have a whole bunch of low quality, low PageRank links coming in? Then try to get a few high PageRank links.
On the other hand, if you have a few high powered links to your site already, you should try getting a bunch of lower quality links to your site instead.
Try to vary up your link profile so you cover the whole spectrum of links.

3. Launch a Viral Campaign
One way you can skyrocket your PageRank is through a viral linking campaign. Get your website to the front of a subreddit or get a bunch of upvotes on StumbleUpon, and the resulting links can quickly jump your PageRank by as much as two or three points.
Create some sort of controversial page that caters to the audience of an existing social bookmarking website. Write an attention-catching title and post it up. Rinse and repeat until a campaign gains traction.

4. Guest Blogging and Paid Blogging
Finally, you can use guest blogging and paid blogging to get in-context links to your website. It's arguable that in-context links (links that are inside the content of another website) are valued more highly by Google than any other kind of link.
If you can get guest posting gigs, this allows you to get these coveted links for free in exchange for your time and content.
If you can't get guest posting gigs, you can get a similar effect by using one of the many paid posting services online. Naturally, the higher the PageRank of the link, the more you'll have to pay.
These are a few different ways of getting your PageRank up quickly. Your PageRank in Google's eyes will go up first, then your visible PageRank will increase once Google rolls out its PageRank update. But then this is not all… In order to get long term results from your SEO efforts this year, you need to follow a set of proven, immutable SEO fundamentals.

In recent years, SEO has gone through many tumultuous changes. From the Panda update which uprooted many sites to the implementation of social metrics, it's clear that SEO ranking factors aren't staying stagnant. However, in spite of all these changes, the underlying fundamentals of SEO haven't changed.
These immutable fundamentals have been the same from the early days of SEO until now. In fact, they've only become more and more important as search engines have gotten smarter and smarter.
These are the four immutable laws of SEO.

Law #1: Content Is King
Google's goal since day one has been to help the best content on the web find its way to the top of the search engines. As Google gets smarter, it's only going to do this better and better.
Trying to game the system is not a very good long-term strategy. It's extremely, extremely rare for people to be able to game search engines for any real length of time.
Instead, the best way to get ranked in the long run is to provide content that people genuinely like and want to share. This will generate organic backlinks, which Google loves.

Law #2: Think Long Term
Short-term SEO thinking is not only ineffective, it's also extremely unhealthy.
People who try to get ranked in weeks rather than months inevitably get burned.
The methods you employ when you're thinking long term versus short term are different. In the long run, you'll lay much more solid foundations with long-term thinking than if you were just trying to get ranked as fast as possible.
Get in the habit of thinking in six months to a year in terms of your SEO goals.

You guys had better not kill yourselves with paranoia mbok. What will be will be! For me I don zero my mind on whatever mail I get from PwC...good or bad! If not I go kill myself by myself...which is not good!

I have an issue. I do not have a any of those identity cards they require! Does anyone know if they will still aloow me to write with any other identification?

Whoever believes this story must be high on cabin biscuit!

totalbaby: ^^^^ Well it's obvious based on our physical anatomy as more can be done for a female then a male

Then no one should make it a point that "men take advantage of women". Cos in essence what men do is "do more for the female

dasparrow: @Post

I really enjoyed reading this interview on bellanaija.com and I think Yvonne Nelson answered the questions in a mature manner. I personally think that this is why ladies should never offer up their bodies to the men they are dating except in marriage of course. Most courtships of nowadays are fueled by lust and not love and the men are just looking for sperm receptacles to empty their sperm into. So, ladies should be wise because this so-called love game of today is just all about people wanting to fornicate with each other.

Everytime women are that they're giving their body to men! Oh Puleease! The man gave his body, strength, time, sweat et all. You just took all else. Besides who said women don't want sex before marriage too? If men go on sex strike now, women will suffer!

NB: Ever asked yourself why there are more intimacy gadgets for women than men? #foodForThought

whiteeyes: To show professionalism as he claims, the mbu man shouldn't havr replied the governor in the first place. It seems he only went to the statw to act out a script. I think for trhe sake of peace, the officer should be moved out of the state immediately. Ameachi na seasones lawyer, wetin the cP be sef? SSCE holder? Just asking...!

Amaechi is not a lawyer whether by birth, education, inheritance or coercion! Please be guided!

kodilyjoe: @carsonv and bolt...please i got an invite to write at chams city Lag and we re to write essay afterwards..how do i stay in Lag further or should i just return to my PH base? I dnt wnt to leave and they call me back immediately for anoda tin. Do they waste time after d essay before calling for anoda tin. Lagos t-fare to and fro is 10k things and money is hard to come by dese days.

Bro honestly I have no idea. I'm actually in lagos waiting for the interview. But something equally important needs my attention in PH. I'll leave dis weekend.

Where in the world do you get free portable water? Who was asking for free water in Nigeria? We only need portable water! Abi you just wanna hide the gross incompetence of your administration!

Xenox: Only God knows how much I visit this thread... Maybe I'm feeling too anxious and this is not good.

Bro you don't need to panic! It won't make 1st week of July become 3rd week of June. I trust Pwc's organizational structure...they keep to date so be patient!

Even if not us all make it to the end, I believe we've all learnt a thing or two about interviews! All the best any which way!!!

ocman: carsonV how did it go with ur interview with PWC on 17th? hope cool? keep your fingers crossed! all the best!

Mehn the interview went well. Didn't have any slip up...I presume! Though after the interview, there were a whole lot of other things I wished I told them. But its all good.
Btw I have this great suspicion that they visit this thread too.
Banke and her team have this way of not allowing you read their thoughts through their facial expression...they're good!

I don't see any humiliation there. I just see group of opportunist who have been shoved away into political abyss gasping for air.
On the contrary, Labaran is legend for being able to stand before the...only a man that believes his conscience can do that.
If Dino likes let him turn to a Pastor, nobody gives a rat's ass! When he was in government what did he do? Rabble-rousers indeed!

Diamond Bank and PwC.

walearoy: Audit Firm all da way, if he uses 2yrs there and enta d bank trust me, it wld b better than vice versa
Give us name of the coys so we no xup

Well truth is saving is hard when you don't have a secondary source of income. I have a friend, she hasn't touched her alawi account cos popsy is always bucksing her up on a weekly basis. And she's living the good life...so no need to touch alawi.

I served in Cali with a ppa that paid me 30k. I didn't save per se. But I used the money to get things I needed, bought a laptop, got an int'l passport, got my transcript and other stuff I can't mention here. At the end sha I still came out with 100 grand.

Its not really in the saving but in actually using the saved money for something tangible. So if you're using your alawi for something worthwhile, fret not that you have no savings...you're actually better off to those that save to later go buy BB Q10 and iPhone 5 and a tab with it!

eonaiviv: I just received an email today for Saturday as well. I pray I pass it. Dont want to mess up ds opportunity.

Just read up as much new words...big words as possible! Or atleast learn how to answer synonyms and antonyms based questions. That's usually where people flop.
Then know your simple mathematics...algebra, ratios etc. And finally sentence correction.
And hopefully you'll come back here to tell us your succes news next week!

Please guys I need my friend needs an urgent advice on this: He got an employment offer from a well-paying new generation bank and another offer from an internationally renowned Audit firm. Now he's torn between the devil and the deep blue sea...or is it between paradise and the Mansions of Sultan of Brunei! If you were in his shoes, which would you choose and why? Advice needed urgently!


P.S.: Remuneration from the bank is quite higher than the Audit firm!

sleekch1c: Any updates?

People are still writing tests...are we even going to be called for the interview anytime soon?
I need to plan my movement really well and I hope the interview doesn't disrupt it.

thelicious: Interviews will end on the 19th June and success/failure mails will start coming in 4rm d 1st wk of July. My advice to all those dat are yet 2 deirs; confidence is very important and also d interviewers will care less about ur answers to the questions because u guyz av hed it all *does nt mean u shudnt revise properly because knowing the right answers can boost confidence*. It is going 2 be all about how u present the answers to the questions asked. Success to everyone... See y'all at the top

How do you know your answers don't count much? It does! Especially the instances you give to buttress your point.

wrote in ph too...finally got my success message today. kinda stunned though! i did well but not to my expectation...its all good though.

Has anyone reaceived success messages from KPMG for the test on 8/06/13?

TechyGuy: I know "Etisalat youths" will never believe the info.
For your information, MTN has more new subscribers daily than almost all other networks put together (don't ask me where I got the stats, )
MNP is in favour of MTN as it stands, Etisalat is the biggest looser so far. By the way, it is not just Saka's ad, but MTN's strategic marketing and investment in infrastructure.

Right now:
MTN has over 45 million subscribers
Glo follows with 27 million
Airtel with about 27 million too
Etisalat with about 17 million

MTN has grown since the MNP launch and Etisalat dropped some figures. Major chunk of the figures dropped from Etisalat added to MTN base.
Mind you, I know Etisalat is highly needed in the industry. They are price crashers and also they force MTN and others to continually give promos and freebies.

Though Etisalat has the smallest subscriber base and infrastructure, they are giving MTN run for their money.

The only reason I'm still on MTN is the cheaper call rates to MTN numbers (the majority). You know that, I know that and MTN knows that.
On th issue of QoS, MTN falls flat on their belly. Don't argue based on the fact that they have majority of the market. If you want to control 51% of the telecom market be ready to install infrastructure that would deliver the QoS needed. Can you compare the subscriber base of Cingular, AT&T to MTN Nigeria? Yet these telcos deliver out-of-naija services! MTN Sucks...and I can't wait to port my call services from them. Cos currently they can't handle my data services. Etisalat rocks... Saka or no Saka.

Don't blame Saka though...man must wak!

Vires: So true !!!!!
For every 10 calls I get, 8 are mtn
Almost everyone I know that uses mtn, abuse, insult, curse them everyday
But would they drop their mtn, NOPE
The worst they do is have additional networks
Truly mtn have juju

MTN-Subsciber relationship is like an abusive relationship...you don't enjoy it but you just can't leave!
MTN still tops because:
1. They control a huge percentage of the market.
2. Since they have majority, they have cheaper ON-NET call rate which in essence is more economical compared to any FLAT tariff offer by any other network.
For other networks to be able to compete favorably, NCC has to bridge the wide gap between ON-NET and OFF-NET calls on the MTN Network. That's the solution to creating a truly competitive market...else we'll keep having the trend where the 'smaller' networks slash prices and MTN readjusts without losing sleep and still remains in profit.
Remember once when Vmobile did this offer (can't remember exactly)...but I think it was N1/min slash. People streamed to Vmobile...and it became tough to call MTN numbers with Vmobile line. Everybody was forced back to MTN!

Armani_NG: Mine is on the 17th, don't know of anyone after that

Mine is 17th too. Hope to see u there then.
