Also please, the NSE route and the normal route which is advised to follow? Also any significant difference?. Please I need responses. Thanks in advance.

Please can someone explain the difference between the NSE route and the normal route ? When I wanted to apply last year I don’t think I heard of the NSE route. Now I have limited time to process my application.

Thank you very much for this.

I will say you shouldn't box yourself with an oil and gas specific course/ degree e.g petroleum engineering particularly for a graduate course. You can do a program with your research interest in renewable energy as that's the focus of the world today. Even if you get a job in the oil and gas sector, a major in renewable energy will be a plus for you. Many oil and gas companies are also considering clean energy generation. Above all, your skillset matters in the industry.

I want to ask a subjective question
With the way the Oil and Gas Indistry is right now in the world, and Canada’s own battles with its oil and gas industry

Do you guys think it’s a good time to go study for an Oil and Gas related degree in Canada ?

I would appreciate your opinions, thank you.

That should be left blank. They'll address it to whoever they need to get info from.

thanks bro

Also on the Risk Control form, what should be written in the tel no section that has off in it, should it be your same mobile number written in mob?

Please who is the Risk Control form meant to be addressed to?

iamwok:
Calm down bro! We'll soon know.

Please who knows how much their starting salary is ?

Thank y’all so much.
Success mail!

Wickedinlaw:
Regret mail well received!

Sorry brother. You were one of the people I liked seeing your posts on here. I hope and pray you’ll get better opportunities that dwarf this in comparison in the future. There’s light at the end of the tunnel.

I was told early september

Wickedinlaw:
Same here

Thank you too:

bright8569:
Mr Cflow. Hope your nerves are down now. Sure you blast the interview. Enjoy your day

Thanks brother.

Wickedinlaw:
Finally! Good luck bro

Firstly, I'll like to thank everyone who took out of their time to share their experiences. It really helped and I'm sure I speak for many when I say we are grateful.

I had my interview today I'll like to think it well. I know most have written and this wont help many but for the select few and later sets this was what i was asked:
First Section : talk about the impact of going cashless on impulse buying (5 minutes)

Second Section:
1) tell us about yourself
2) why pwc
3) why are you switching from engr to acct? if shell coes wont you leave us
4) what have i been doing since january to august?
5) what have i been doing in preparation for a career in assurance services?
6) in two sentences why should we hire you?

Behavioral
1) A TIME I RECEIVED NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
2) a time i leveraged on past relationship in order to achieve a goal
3) a time i had to call up someone i wasnt very close to for a favor
4) an interesting I've done and challenges that followed
5) a time i displayed leadership and challenges that came with it
6) my likes

I hope this helps someone and you need to remain calm, I'm sure its something that will come naturally as the interview goes on and you gain confidence.

Thanks bro.

Paschalive:
Am not too good like most of you guys but i will try and share my experience.

First as already said, you will be required to share your view on some economic related questions. Mine was on Crime in Nigeria

After that, i was given one minute to drink water ooo. Then the behavioural questions start flowing left and right:
I will advice you look for an current local and international news you can share with them.
Know more about SME,
PwC recent activities,
What you have been doing since COVID-19
How to answer question about when your integrity was at risk
How you handle employees u can't get along with.
How you get your news or keep abreast with current happenings around you
.

I will say they build up questions from your response.

Nah you're putting unnecessary pressure on people, being a bit condescending and now abusive. and I can see why.

bright8569:
Everyone have freedom of speech. I just congratulated someone for his/her interview. If you are not happy---you can kill yourself. Nairaland is for everyone.

if you feel like, you could share some more details. Would be much appreciated.
Congratulations, sounds like it went well.

Paschalive:
I just did mine 3pm to 4pm today

It was amazing and fun

Oga nobody asked you.

bright8569:
Kudos to you. Like I said before, anybody having interview this week or last week---no excuse. I just want to hear feedback like this because you had all the time and resources to destroy any interviewer. loooool.

Yeah, true though.

This group has gone quiet. Have people stopped doing interviews or stopped sharing

Interesting.

Wickedinlaw:
I'm not the kind that stalk people but I'm just curious to know the kind of person you are inasmuch I tried to avoid that..

On May 31st this year around 4:28am, you claimed to be a final year student from the department of Finance,UNILAG under the Unilever Graduate Program thread.

On May 30 this year, around 9:16am, you asked people to share their interview experience under the Unilever Graduate Program Thread, claiming you are in your final year due to Corona virus and you asked people to share their interview experience so that you can prepare yourself for the future.

However on June 5 this year, around 3:47pm, you ended up attending the interview after deceiving them on the thread that you are a final year student and you only needed it the interview questions for life after school so as to prepare yourself.

Even on March 17, around 8:09pm on this PWC graduate program 2020, you asked people to spill out their test experience. You even asked them to tell you the questions because you were yet to do yours and needed "expo".

But it's so surprising that on Aug 9,around 2:50pm, you discouraged someone that dropped her interview experience for others to benefit and you even claimed it would affect your chance of getting the job coz you've done yours.

Can you please give more clarifications to everything I typed?

Kindly find the sources to my observations below while you use the date stated for easy verification.

I had my interview today also and the first session was also on youth crime (How family values affects youth crime).
It was quite an interesting session, it was more as if we were have a board meeting (hehe), they were quite professional yet friendly.
I think if one prepares well before time, such a person won't have any challenge.

Be confident, communicate effectively and intelligently and be calm.
I spent just about 35mins as opposed to the one hour because the flow was quite seamless; I don't know but this happens with me almost all the time, I always tend to finish before time and then we'll just use the remaining time left discussing life (more like gisting); this all boils down to preparation and knowing what you're up for.

The 'tell me about yourself' is quite important; it determines the flow for the remaining part of the interview.

All the best to the others having their interviews later on.

Glad your interview went well.
Were you also asked current affairs question?

Eryckah911:
Finally oooooooooo

Lol Finally �

Got my interview date today guys. August 19th.

Eryckah911:

Eryckah911:

ObianujuU:
Finally got an invite for August 10.

Beginning to seem like I might be the last to get one. Maybe I should send a mail too.

Thanks brother.

This could be of help. I got it from someone who left PWC recently. Might have changed
There are units and there are sub-units. I can't list them all and not too sure of the current structure. But I don't expect it to differ much from the ones I have listed below:
Financial Services Industry (FSI): This unit carries financial statements audit of companies in financial services - banks, insurance, mortgage houses, and the likes
Energy Utilities and Mining (EUM): This unit carries financial statements audit of companies in oil and gas, mining and other utilities
Consumer and industrial product and Services (CIPS) - This unit carries financial statements audit of companies in FMCGs. Just before I left another unit was created under this unit. It's called
TICE - Technology, Information, Communications, and Entertainment - So companies like Glo, Airtel, Movie production, tech will be here
Risk Assurance Service (RAS) - RAS basically works with other units (if needed) during audits. They look at internal controls, they consult, they look at revenue assurance and do other data analytics stuff. This unit has other units such as:
Commercial and Data Analytics (CADA)
Digital Risk and Cyber Security
Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Internal Audit
IT Risk Assurance
Capital Markets, Accounting, and Consulting Services (CMACS): In charge of accounting standards interpretation and consulting as well as capital markets consulting.
Public Sector and Government (PSG): This unit carries financial statements audits of most government agencies.
Assurance R&Q

Thanks brother.

Julietayoola:
