Guys I've just received my sms fully with the link included. Should I even bother writing this test? cos I just got a job with pwc...how much does Cadbury pay please?

kory: M nt resigning till september I need that salary before pwc starts paying me lower

I'm also not resigning till September but I have to give a month's notice. so I'll submit my notice of resignation next month. I'll still get paid for September though I'll lose out on monthly airtime.

michaeled45: sent an email. Pls respond

reply sent.

yomihagin: . And how much do you think PWC will pay us per month ? I saw the details In the employment letter but calculating the per month salary is complicated

from what I've heard all those millions in the letter amounts to 142 for the first 6 months...

chai! October 2nd seems so far away, cant wait to see the look on my boss' face when I tender my resignation notice come August. oh October. ..why art thou so far....

Hey guys! So I've read through the entire thread but I have a question. I am a graduate of estate management and I did principles of account as a borrowed course during my first year in the university. I've also done land taxation, micro and macro economics, statistics , property rating and valuation. I really just want to know if I will get any format of exemption? Thanks

toseman: Helo room..apart frm having a 2.1,wt other lil but important things r also required/needed

You ought to have completed NYSC or be in the process of doing so by a date that will be made known by PwC. Also you need to pass an online aptitude test, then a verification test at the PwC office, then an online personality test and finally the interview... Chai! Thank God oh! People get dropped at every stage of the recruitment process.

eleleonyeka: Thanks a lot dear, sounds like a good idea. Pls send me the agents number, its gonna be hard to find flatmates tho but not impossible. I better start looking. Pls If d masters bedroom is 350 then how much r the others?

Its not up to you to get flatmates, some already are taken... I've sent you the number. Good luck!

eleleonyeka: Hi I'm also looking for a place to stay, I like the sound of this dolphin estate, pls how much is a miniflat there?

To the best of my knowledge there's no mini flat there, its a 3bedroom flat that is usually let out to 3 different working class occupants. If you're interested i can get the agent's number for you from my colleague, she rented a masters bedroom there for about 350, but please you are on your own. i've never had any dealing with the agent, if you want to rent a place, make sure you meet the owner of the place and talk to neighbors as well, cos agents can be funny. So you don't come and say i gave you his number #justsaying. Or alternatively go to dolphin estate by yourself and ask around.

cmega123: Same issue here. I stay in Benin.
On the letter, it was stated that though we will be based in Lagos, we could travel within and outside the country. Heard that there was a team attached to a company for 6 months and the company took care of the team's accommodation for the period. So, please i would need advice on how to proceed.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Cos your training is for 8 weeks within that period, PwC won't send you no where. Secondly, it's not all departments that travel, depends on the department where you've been assigned to. My advice to you is to go get a place or if you have a relative/friend you can stay with for a while then fine. Cos even if you're sent for a job outside lagos, you'll eventually come back. You should consider getting a place in dolphin estate. There are rooms within flats for rent there (you'll share a flat with other young working class guys) . If you're lucky to get the masters bedroom then you're good .

Hi, do you have ipads for sale?

Wow! Was nice meeting wordthots, Naffysah, joboy and everyone else. Can't wait to start in October. I think from my calculation the monthly take home is 169 shey?

Naffysah: I guess its just me dtz going for the meeting! Whew! Wondering what the meeting is about.

Aren't you also waiting for KPMG? What happens when they call you in September?

teminoni: I think most of the people currently working for another company are for oct 2.

I guess so, I am currently working as well, wish they had scheduled me for august make I resign sharp sharp.

I got the job! I got the Job... Thank God! Thank you to nairaland for the info about the opening. I will be resuming in October, is there anyone here who will be resuming earlier than that?

Phew! Got my sms and email as well. Good luck to us all

I also applied for management trainee... I guess it's safe to say that they are calling in batches... Right? Right?

Guys I thought it's ok for the senders address to be at the top left above the recipient's? Isn't that like the new style or something?

@consultant why is yours faithfully at the bottom right? Thought its supposed to be at the bottom left. And shouldn't the "resources " in human resources manager also be in caps?

Hey Guys! i own a Galaxy S3 and most times i am at work and unable to follow up with BBA. i. Want to know if there is a way to watch DSTV, BBA to be precise on my phone without using the Drifta. i don't see why i should by a drifta just for the duration of BBA. Thanks

ikenna44: While i comend ur advice and all...telin pple 2 quickly tk d lead might be misundastood as bin 2 4ward, desperate and a bit agresive...I dnt tink d recruiters are dat dumb...dey wil see tru u! If u ve a room ful of potential leaders...everybody cant lead @ d same time...ma advice wud be, dnt rush 2 tk charge...if u ask 2 moderate and sum1 asks 2...dnt start contestin wit d person...jst mk sure u contribute meaningfuly 2 d group...u might nt ve anytin 2 say bout dat particular subject...bt try and add to or build on wat sum1 else has said. Jst be calm...u re nt fightin wit d oda aplicants!
Ur bread wont pass u...

I didn't say one should be aggressive, I said take initiative and be the first. Someone must definitely speak first, will it make the person come off as being forward? To each his own sha...

Word of advice; during your group discussion, , y the interviewers tell you to start discussing. Take initiative and be the first to speak, introduce yourself to your colleagues and tell them that with their approval you would like to moderate the discussion. Tell them something like this "good morning everyone my name is goodluck Jonathan and if its fine by you all I will love to moderate this discussion. We have 15 minutes in total, so lets use 10minutes to get our points together and 5 minutes to present. I'll let us know when its time. Who would like to speak first?"

You have just shown leadeeship skills and by asking who would like to speak first youve shown that you are a team player. #my2cents. Goodluck to us all.
