@ delcfa, yes I was called. wrote the test on 18th as well - guess we wrote the test on the same day. Had the interview today. It was quite interesting,

Just thought I'd share my experience on the Promasidor Recruitment. I've gotten great information from the forum over the years and this is my way of giving back.

The Online Application Phase involved a skills test (based on the role you applied for). It also included basic English Comprehension, synonyms & basic maths (a limited number of questions). You'll probably use less than a minute to answer each question - that way, you get to answer all the questions on time.

The next stage is a blown up version of the online test. Basically the same format as the online test but with more questions to answer - I was given 71 questions to answer in about 50 minutes. Straightforward. I was impressed with how very organized the whole process was. They also had fancy MAC desktops, few candidates writing at the same time - this made me feel they value their applicants,

The next and possibly the last stage is the interview which I can't say anything about - at least, not yet - because I haven't attended it. When I do, I'll post about it.

I hope this helps someone.

A start-up research company in Abuja requires the services of a University graduate (from any background) for a temporary position. If you have a minimum of 2:1 from any Nigerian University, please send your CV in HTML format together with a covering letter to stephfamuyid@gmail.com expressing your interest. You must be resident in Abuja. Working hours are from 12pm to 5pm daily.

@ Ama27,

that was such a harsh response, devoid of any hope and based on absolutely no facts.

The fact that some Nigerians find it rough (including you, possibly) after
getting their MSc degrees does not mean everyone would suffer the same fate.

I doubt if I've ever been to a recruitment event that didn't have many graduates - that will always be a fact of life, unless of course people decide to start working for themselves!

You mentioned so many baseless ideas which I'll not even dignify with a response.

All I pray is that you find happiness and don't ever think of becoming an HR person or UK grads will definitely be sorry!

@Chairman1 : I don't know how much P&G pays but what I can tell you (Which I always heard but had to learn from experience) is never follow the trail of money. Make sure the job description is something you love, can do well at and money will find you. All the best.

Good thing is it wasn't as difficult as I'd expected.
