chryste123: Did you get disconnected at any point in time and tried connecting again? That is my challenge at the moment and I have been waiting for over 4 hours now.
Two men (one in suit and another in Hausa attire and cap) and a woman in hijab were my panelists. Immediately I got admitted, they read out my O level result and the school and my degree result from their system.
They asked me the first question which I answered and got disconnected when I was about answering the 2nd question.
I'm still hopeful to be re admitted. Hi guys, so I was fortunate to conclude my interview. They continued my questioning from where they stopped in the morning. I was surprised they still remembered. Thank God for everything. I wish everyone the best!!! |

hrm93: Hi guys, been reading the thread on guest mode for a while. Just finished my virtual interview. The interviewers were patient. MS Teams kept glitching because of MTN network [they expected it already]. So they were patient. The interview started at 3:10 I think [Originally scheduled for 3pm]. All I'll just say is nothing is written on stone. Minus network I'll rate the experience 75%.
Simply asked for my professional certificates which[i] I no get[/i]. I expected this already. Instead, I discussed my role as an editorial member on an energy journal which they liked. I also shared my articles with them. My mission was to make them know I was making efforts professionals certs or not.
These guys really looked cool TBH and even thanked me for waiting for 10mins. When you're given 5mins to speak on your personal statement OWN IT. I think the interview lasted 15mins. No document was requested. Good luck to everyone. Did you get disconnected at any point in time and tried connecting again? That is my challenge at the moment and I have been waiting for over 4 hours now. Two men (one in suit and another in Hausa attire and cap) and a woman in hijab were my panelists. Immediately I got admitted, they read out my O level result and the school and my degree result from their system. They asked me the first question which I answered and got disconnected when I was about answering the 2nd question. I'm still hopeful to be re admitted. |

chryste123: I was having mine and had a network glitch just when I was about answering a question asked. I've been trying to reconnect for over an hour and thirty minutes but still kept at the lobby.
I hope I get to complete it. Is there any need remaining online in this situation? Will it be taken as concluded? Anyone please? |

Liebermann: I agree that they should find a way to optimize the programme but to say it's value is restrained to media publications alone is something I don't agree with. I have checked the profile of a lot of scholars, most of whom have gone on to find roles in and out of the industry. At the end of the day, education and improvement of the quality of your labor force never goes to waste. Scholars can be better utilized yes but I don't find the current system as having no benefit.
Given the tumultuous nature of the economy, I reckon it will be very difficult to get a solid commitment from these firms to accommodate around 200 (assuming we're not including PhD) scholars yearly. Companies in this industry are already cutting down on recruitment to begin with. In fact, most of them are downsizing. The fact that you said graduates in these more advanced countries are resorting to menial jobs says a lot. This makes the whole situation very tricky. As far as government agencies go what you're describing is not quota system but nepotism, indicative of the kakistocracy we live in. All round the inefficiencies you speak of are a microcosm of the whole economy and give rise to a chicken vs egg question. In the end, I truly believe that one should have the tools to find his way after he's done studying whether it's in this country or somewhere else. Na gashe ka Mallam�. Hope you "finished" the interviewers with all these grammar � |

KelChuks: Thank you so much. I have selected yes in response to the mail. This is what I am planning to do. My first date was on 31st June. On PTDF site was 27th and link came with 27th.
Now, I received another link with different time but still maintained 27th. I will have to start login with the earliest time and date.
By God's grace, I believe it will be hitch free.
I wish everyone best of luck in the interview and rectification of any faults. May we find favour to excel her. Please when did you receive your interview links? |

easyflowz999: The second mail showing may 31, have you checked it thoroughly? From the beginning to the end?scroll to the bottom of the page in that mail It wasn't a mail that was sent. It changed on my PTDF page. The 1st mail for June 1 by 2pm noted that a link will be sent in due course. I later realised that the interview date was changed to May 31 by 10:30am on my portal with no further mail or link to that effect. |
