GeeRaoult:
Hello fellow NLs! I'm new here although I've taken out time to read through the thread right from the day I saw invite for the test. I took off from the 1st to the present thread, I've never commented. So this is my debut comment.

I'm so sorry for those who think that by sharing just the STRUCTURAL PERIPHERY one isn't playing a fair ground to them as they supposed. Truth be told, my performance at the interview was spurred by the amount of information I've got right from here: I've practically consumed ALL thread about the NNPC recruitment you can find on NL from several years back til present. So, I guess it is only right to arm to the teeth the next generation coming forth who may seek this LAYOUT.


My NNPC Interview Experience:

My time was slated for 9:00am that day but I was at the venue at 7:18am just to ensure I avoided stories that touch the heart. It was then logical to conclude that I had to wait for two sets (7am & 8am) to finish before I go in as a 9am candidate. So I quickly approached the buildings (4 towers) but was instantly addressed to move back (this was by a military man, him no even fear say this guy wey appear so in this wicked suit fit b sth big poo for here already abi workers they carry placard for head na him I no know) for security reasons that I should locate a tree which was a stone throw distance from the towers. I heeded to instructions and left (before I go do strong head allow 'ahua' dirty me and my suit?�).

On getting under the tree, I met other people who were also waiting. Quickly some ladies engaged me into talking and we had nice conversation together before we were called for the 9am set.

We lined up like a troop of ant soldiers and moved in that accord. A man was busy shouting saying, "If your ORIGINAL documents isn't complete go back oo." They finally ushered us in a beautiful scene I've seen for a long time now and we were given instructions about what to do and safety lectures were also rendered in case of emergencies of which no one prays for. From there, again they move us to yet another more beautiful place, the amphitheater, this place is as chilly as a deep freezer but all thanks to my insulating suit I managed to stay calm and cool. While at this amphitheater, names of people were called and their panels send ushers to them for conveyance to locate their place of interviews. I waited about 1.5 hrs at the amphitheater before I heard my name. I quickly came out and another lady too was to follow with me in the same panel so we both will be interviewed. The girl no dull. She quickly introduced herself to me (I wonder where my mind flied to that I forgot courtesy - on a good day na me suppose start sef) I did same and later told me she studied Chemical Engineering of which I said the same too. It then soon appear to us all that our panel 16 is for ENGINEERS!

The usher finally led us through an 11 floor tower (via an elevator) and finally we reached. We met a guy already waiting and we joined him. I began to perceive my stomach rumbling. I quickly located their topnotch rest room with its sophisticated facilities and defecated (I no dull at all man gat free himself of some internal air. In order to do well, comfort is paramount). By the time I returned, I met the lady alone. Of which not up to 5 mins she too entered and I became next in line. After 20 mins she came out. My CV went in 6 mins later I was summoned.

When I entered I greeted the panel with reverence but not without boldness. They are all 'senior men' in the oil and gas sector and here I am before them. The Chief Panelist addressed me, "We have seen how good you are on paper (national awards o ti kpoju) your performance is very impressive and so we think meeting you in person will be good to know you." He urged me to see this as a mere interaction and never to look at it as an interrogation. I nodded and said thank you sir for this privilege.

Questions began from my final year project work which appeared on my CV about biofuel (remember at this point the NNPC recently picked interest in this field hence little wonder I didn't see them waste time asking me the usual question of "May we know you". I gave them a piece meal of everything about biodiesel. The next question came about how I can add value to them. I perfectly answered that to the extend that the whole panel applauded and I was asked to give 4 answers to questions on safety which I did give 3 and on hinting the 4th one, them come help me as time no dey.

Finally, I was asked if I have a question. I asked them mine about how prepared are they to tackle the impending competitor they are about to meet in the person of Dangote (this dude is coming with a massive refining capacity). The Chief Panelist says, "Assumed we employed you, how will you help us tackle him? " I quickly gave them my prepared solution as I knew the question most definitely will be a boomerang hence the reason why I threw it in the first place. I was glad it all went well and at exactly 20 mins it was over.

I actually just comment here so that by the time I'll first herald the news someone will not say we've not seen you here before hence I'm lying. I look forward to seeing those who will succeed alongside with me as colleagues at the state oil firm... Cheers!!!

N.B:
1. Maintain your cool as confidence is key.
2. Tailor your CV to them in a way you can defend everything you put in it as most of your questions may come from it.
3. Do a lot of research about the company (I prepared as though I'm going for MANAGERIAL position and not even EH position but as a GT, I armed myself as though I'm the GMD going to have a press conference).

May God bless you and your entire generation

airsaylongcon:


It's a possibility. CBTs (if so designed) can generate reports based on the highest scores with the completed in the least time

Can you imagine, I didn't even know this before.

Mails have been sent for invite since last week , it was set for this Tuesday but later postponed due to the public holiday

60000 people wrote the test so maybe 6000 will be invited for interview and ultimately 600 people employed

akpaan:
how are we sure invites has been sent for interview as proposed by some folks here, I wrote in Abuja and I also asked the invigilator when we should be expecting a feedback, his reply was 2weeks from that day we wrote the test.

Yeah......we made it all up that we received invite.

The test was relatively easy, but could it be that they want to test speed and accuracy?

Dre7:
Those that received invite... When is the interview slated for?

Next week
