Thanks all for this informative thread. I want to ask how one could check the occupation ceiling for his/her prefer nominated occupation. I understand that the chances of been invited after submitting an EOI depends on several things but one of it is the numbers of slots allocated to that occupation for that year and how many is left by the time u submit ur EOI. I have several related occupation on the SOL list I can nominate, but I want to check the occupation ceiling on them before deciding which of them to nominate. So, how can I check this? Thanks. @bellong @scrollout |

ashleeeeee:Oh, was that the assignment! ![]() I saw it na. It looked too plain, no special info conveyed that is why I didn't take it as such 'the assignment'. |
Badema:Thanks bro. Hapi weekend to you. @Forkadict, Pls drop the assignment na, weekend is best time to give it, when men nor go work. |
dane15:This has really baffle me since this line of discussion ensue, but i couldn't have said it better like you did. Thanks so much bro for your constructive contribution thus far. freeradical:The active consensus now seems to be that the idea isn't a bad idea, but we should wait till end of June to see the turn of things before executing anything. Good one guys. ![]() |
majekdom2:Context is essential. You sounds as though you re against the interest of this thread, though I know u dare not. Common, we are only brainstorming here on what we could possibly do to help ourselves and if it works, it wasn't going to be for just me, freeradical and ceetee only, is for everyone. If you have a different opinion you, fine but say it constructively. Again how did u come up with the conclusion of what their business need is and what is not. You have almost know more than Babs himself about when the GTs will be needed lol. Don't jump to hasty conclusion just to make an argument. You really tried in convincing yourself that NLNG would start a process and invest funds in what is none of their business need for now. |
Team16:My dear, academically you will be fine. I did my MSc abroad (not bragging, just to want make a point), and I know of a Nigerian whose MSc was converted to PhD. And he completely it successfully, it was his first time schooling offshore as well. The worry here is if u can fund a four years program instead of two years MSc. If fund isn't the problem, then don't panic, u will do fine and their system is so supportive that a struggling student in Nigeria can excel over there. Cheers. |
@freeradical it is still OK to engage them subtly and creatively on twitter if the email thing is going down well with us. I think ur idea is good. @vantage7, I don't think contacting a recruiting firm is anything 'uncharacteristic of an elite group', many have done it on a personal level on other matters and have received reply. The bombardment idea is just to draw the needed attention we crave. 'Highest assurance' and 'in due course' shouldn't stop us from asking a thing if we have to, however in a courteous way. Quote me, one thing I know for sure, NLNG isn't canceling this recruitment because a candidate contacted them, how hilarious! However, if the idea of contacting them as a team is unpopular, we can as well patiently hold our peace. Aren't we all in the wait together? |
freeradical:I know there are some dudes who can write a more tightly worded email, but let me just drop this draft so we can start from there. Good day, I am one of the successful candidates at the concluded NLNG graduate trainee assessment centre exercise conducted last year. Please, i wish to humbly request for an update of the recruitment process and a likely time successful candidates will be called. This is to help me manage my plans as this recruitment is central to me at the moment. Thanks in anticipation of a response. Best regards, Dfavouredone. Modified versions of this can then be use to bombard them (@ their email: Recruitment.Online@nlng.com) by all candidates starting from next week Monday (9/05/2016), or tweet it @nigeriaNLG and @BabsNLNG. We can use a combination of the options to send the different versions of the message, including posting it on their FB timeline. |
The wait is somewhat annoying, and it's understandable if we feel agitated. What we should ask ourselves is if there is anything we could do to voice our discomfort in this delay without undermining the process. Venting our displeasure in the delay without channeling it towards a result will only provide emotional succour but it doesn't change the status quo. I will suggest like before, that we should bombard them with mild email requesting updates on the process. Remember, this was what we were about doing in January, before they sent the last emails. |

cleatoris:While it also sound laudable to have equip both, it is good this way. Lets them feel the situation in the public hospital as well. So when next money is appropriated to the public services, they won't eat it because they will suffer it as well. Or do u think it is just the governor of these state that are corrupt, commissioners and the rest who enjoy these privileges and neglect the public facilities are the worst. They should come and use the one the general public is using that way they will passionate to make it work. Or are they not the same citizens like u and i? |
