@tipsy dude

You've been quite a wonderful resource for information on VNA Recruitment. Kudos for the pro bono work. I applied for the Pilot Cadet programme in July, did an Aptitude Test in September, got a positive reply same day, and then a 'Prepare for the Next Stage (Psychometric Assessment) Email' about 2 weeks ago. You can be sure I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My questions are:

'How many more stages are there in the process?'
'Any figures on the number of cadets to be admitted in this batch?'
'Any idea when VNA plans to conclude this process?'

This could really help in making plans, keeping myself prepared & being available in Lagos.

You can reach me at codeweavernaija@gmail.com.

For everyone interested in Virgin Nigeria, my experience with the recruitment process so far has been encouraging & I commend VNA for their transparency. 'I no get person on the inside', so I'm happy to have gone this far. The closest to 'inside information' has come from NAIRALAND!!!

Cheers & keep up the good work

Hi ayomi, which post did you apply for & what stage of the process are you? been waiting to hear from them about the 2nd stage of the Pilot Cadetship.

Hi Kobojunkie,

Haven't heard from you about joining the team. Research, Analysis & Design are some of my strongest software development points. Anybody can code but 'coding' is NOT the hallmark of a successful software project! Email me the 'Project Team' details via codeweavernaija@gmail.com

Hi everyone,

Been a 'passive' but very engaged member of nairaland for a while, but this noble cause has spurred me to sign up. I'm interested in being part of the team & I have about 2 years programming experience with a useful networking background. Done a little on Portal Administration for schools so I guess I should be part of this team.

Please feel free to include me. I can be reached via codeweavernaija@gmail.com
