Yes they said that but I didn't think it will be immediate, I also got the flash message. Maybe next week we'll be clearer.
All the best too

comtem2011:
I didn't get any mail from them, I only got flash message that says " my result has been added to the leaderboard ".

Same here as per the link taking me back to the test page! I won't advice u take it again, so it won't disqualify u. They stated it in their first mail, that if they didn't get back to us, it means we didn't pass the test. So just let us hope for the best.

All the best.

Appliedmaths:
Greetings beautiful people, personally the past two months have been full of events but all thanks to God, the show goes on.

The CV review process is gradually coming to an end with about 4-5 more cases to go then I call it a day (actually months), and so far so good over 300 cases has been treated without prejudice.

N.B: All CV's would be discarded August 30th 2017.

Recent Observations

I was opportune to handle another recruitment process (Posting of job ad and filtering CV's for interview) which was posted here on nairaland and boy oh' boy it's like most job seekers are either lazy, un-serious, dependent on connections or simply overfed. For Christ sake how long do you want to keep being the rookie? There are materials everywhere, there are good hands willing to assist but most job seekers still choose to be the rookie, the novice, the one that never knows anything even after being in the system for long.

Honestly, I know to secure a job or even earn a living is difficult and requires God's mercies but I also know that if you want to attract God's mercies you have to position yourself, ever heard that statement "God don't like ugly?" The purpose of my write ups is to point out areas form real life work experience where job seekers get it wrong (shoot themselves in the leg) and wonder why the jobs or invites are not coming.

You can't send a job application via email with no subject mail, no cover letter, poorly formatted CV's, multiple applications (some would send their CV's morning and night, na medicine you dey take), the most annoying one is when an applicant has that "sent from iPhone 50" thingy attached to his/her mail, like I'm supposed to come to your house with an offer letter because you use an iPhone?

So here are some pointers before sending a job application via email (which are centred around having a good CV in the first place) ...

1. Always use a subject mail, and this subject mail should be the position you're applying for. There are cases where you'll be asked to use a reference code as subject mails but if that condition wasn't stated please use the position being applied for as your subject mail. Never ever ever submit a job application without a subject mail.

2. A cover letter should always accompany your mail, and this is the place where you want to appeal to the recruiters conscience, to make a statement. It may interest you to know that most times recruiters are excited on meeting candidates with sound contents in their cover letters and CV's. That's why I don't collect money to help write CV's, I want you to be creative too, I want you to think and open the creative section of you.

3. Multiple applications would disqualify you in most cases. it's not a prescription nor a daily dosage, don't send in your CV in the morning and night, then the following morning again. You'll be disqualified.

4. Always use an Internet browser to send your official mails, using the phones emailing app would attach their customised signature and that's why that annoying text "sent from BlackBerry 10 smartphone" accompanies your application. You can change the settings, but just be on the safer side.

Moving forward...
To the other set of job seekers, who have nailed all the personal tests and checked all boxes (good CV's, good cover letters, good aptitude test skills, good interview skills) or you want to change your job and the offers coming in are not encouraging, I think it's time you want to network.

I call it the power of "referrals." Do you know that every recruiting organisation always have two set of candidates, the "referred" candidates and the "other candidates", oh let me burst your head. Do you know that in some cases sef, the referred candidates are assessed on different days form the other candidates?

I remember when I began my "official" job search I got two referrals here on Nairaland (top multinationals), I don't wanna mention their names but one still mentors me till date and thank God for her she's going higher everyday we speak. Referrals would save you a seat amongst the front benches but here's why it's different from "man-know-man." In man know man, you don't need to have the skills to be employed, but in referrals you have been pushed to be among first people to be considered if you have the required skills, you don't wanna know how many people who posses the same set of skills as you do. To continue my story, no I didn't get the referral jobs as at then and trust me e pain me die, guess you know why now (that's why I don't want others to make the same mistake).

In recent times I see colleagues changing jobs even without recruitment, I see fresh graduates getting Referrals some get the job while some don't. So asides the regular job application process you might wanna network, connect with sound minds, you may be ignored but keep going. For fresh graduates you might wanna volunteer (tops 3 months).

So my people this is where I draw the curtains, till next time.

End note: Securing a job isn't the peak of one's life, heck it's not even a guarantee to a happy old age but there's always a stepping stone, a starting point to achieving other things. My posts are 100% real life experience culled from my previous to current work environment.

Got this too but after googling them and not finding anything substantial I think it's definitely fake, they don't have contact address and phone number on their site sef

Please how do they go about correcting date of birth on a waec certificate in recent times? I just collected mine and it has a massive error, any help will be appreciated please.

Exactly. It's not like there's an assurance you'd be called for an interview. What's the pay like

Kunle106:
I also saw it and was surprised. And to even think it's an internship position. Although they are legit but the money aspect is a turn off.

It is truly well. There are some that go as far as saying they'll get back to you no matter what. Still yet. Maybe recruiters or those who work with hr on nl can tell us how long it takes them to come to a final decision after interview

In that's case, recruitment firms need to do better in this aspect. Some people actually travel for these interviews and you don't have the courtesy to give any form of Feedback?
I mean it's understandable if feedback is not given during the application process, but interview is a step further.

This firm legit collects N1000 before you can write their online assessment test. Are they genuine?

Hello, please who finally attended this interview with this firm? What was the outcome regarding salary structure and all? Also, can the interview be rescheduled?

Ifeshyne:

Sis, Ammyluv is right, I know the number of times I applied before I got a test invite from them. The key is just to keep applying, I also get fed up at times but you just don't know which will amount to something.
These HR folks have a software they use to filter applications, just keep applying to roles that fit your qualifications and experience.

sigh. Thanks. Thats what we'll have to keep doing. But those INGO's are not smiling at all and its not like their requirements are that tough. its all good sha. God dey

ammyluv2002:
Nne, the fact that you don't get any feedback from them doesn't mean others don't. You just have to keep applying and applying till they are forced to call you for an interview

Nne you didn't see the "I never get feedback" abi
Of course I know others get picked.
