Ohans04:
I did the interview last week at the MTN Golden plaza building it was an interview to remember for years.

Hahahahaha...please tell us why it was an interview to remember. We are curious

Chai. My simulation test was no the 12th of July o.
Haven't heard anything from Dragnet or MTN. A nairalander here says his friend see has been interviewed for that role or a similar role.
My issue is this...if they have selected their preferred candidate they should try and inform the people that are not successful so they would not keep hoping.
Anyways my mind no dey there again. If it happens it happens.

rychard:
Doesn't work that way any more... That's why they contracted the screening and shortlisting process to Dragnet.. Dragnet helps them with the preliminary screening, and gives the names of not suitable candidates to them.. They can then drill further from there, they will be searching for competence, cultural fit and minimum requirements. It might be a lot, but that's not a sound excuse to keep people in the dark, don't you think?.. You may decide to get back to candidate maybe twice a week to tell them that you are still reviewing the process and how long it might take..

But the truth is, since I've worked in recruitment before, this is how its often done,
1) Get a pool of suitable candidates and classify them , in the case by performance, experience etc.
2) Begin to screen the top on your list, while you keep the other pending
3) if the top guys don't meet up, begin with the next list of most fit persons in your list, while you keep the rest on hold.
4) should you find the person you need for the job, then give him an offer, once he accepts it.
5) that's when you send out a mail to the rest of the list telling them they didn't make it.

It will be dump to think that screening exercise aren't going on

Hmmm...thats a nice insight. However from my experience and this e of other people I know...very few recruiters actually get back to candidates to let them know that they were not successful. Most recruiters in Nigeria just ignore the other candidates once they get who they want. I actually thing that practice is unprofessional. People took out time to apply etc and the least the recruiters could do is send them an email..even if it's generic to tell them they weren't successful. Why keep people hanging.
Anyways let's keep watching sha.

It's been slightly over 2 months now that they started this process so I'm guessing they have finished or maybe about to finish.

People should just keep working their current jobs or if they don't have any presently they should keep applying elsewhere. If MTN call then they call..if not ..life goes on. Lol.

Cheers.

I got this off LinkedIn. Gives us a look into what's happening at MTN now. Though that no mean say na all of us dem go employ o! Lol

You've applied to a position that's been posted and you're wondering what is taking the recruiter so long? Here's just a snapshot of what's happening in the background:
1. 150 people applied to that job posting on Indeed.
2. Another 100 applied via the posting on LinkedIn.
3. 50 applied via the company's career portal
4. 2 people have applied internally
5. 2 people have been referred by employees
6. The recruiter has reached out to 60 people and responses are coming in daily.
If it takes the recruiter at least 10 seconds to scan each resume (sometimes much less if the applicant is overseas or even out of province) imagine the time consumption.

Now imagine that said recruiter is working on 10 or maybe even 40 roles at the same time. They're also pre-screening, phone interviewing and sometimes interviewing in person. Add to that, working with the hiring manager to schedule interviews up the food chain for additional meetings.

On top of that, recruiters can be overseeing a wide range of projects - on-campus recruitment, branding efforts, etc. So while I'm extremely sensitive to how candidates feel during the process, I do think there needs to be a bit of a reality check re what a Recruiter's reality looks like as well.

rychard:
Risk manager position, you're right bro, the economy is tuff... But I heard the lion king is back

Hahahahaha @lion king. Make we see first.

The role I applied for was for senior manager. So maybe they are different. Not sure sha

rychard:
4th Aug precisely

What was the exact title of the role that your friend was called for?
Hope he made it through. Even if no be me make another person get better job in this our harsh economy.

rychard:
Okay, I met a manager who's also been interviewed for risk manager about second week of Aug.

Well it's to keep my fingers crossed. 2nd week of August is the just this last week so there is still hope for me . Lol.
Will keep you guys updated.
Good luck everyone

rychard:
When did you write the risk management Simulation test, because a friend of mine has been interviewed by MTN for the role.(analyst ERM).

I applied for a manager role not analyst. Haven't heard anything still sha.

Ifexabc:
What position did u apply for?.. If u received a call that means, well I think.. u must a passed and ure up for d next stage for interview scheduling.. if not then...

Applied for the position in Risk Management. Haven't heard anything from them.
I guess I should stop waiting then. Lol.

This waiting sha.
I've heard they are calling people in batches for the various positions. Issue is that one doesn't know when their positions would be called or if is already been done. Are they going to tell those that are unsuccessful that they did not make it?
Or do people keeping waiting endlessly .
Anyways let's keep our fingers crossed.

My people.....any news?

adayola:
Dragnet has concluded the test and the details of those who passed have been sent to MTN. What is left is for MTN to invite them for interview. I learnt MTN is currently doing interview for senior managers and other top management positions, so when they are through with that, then they will commence on that from dragnet.

Thanks for the info. Some of the roles that went through the simulation route were manager and senior manager roles too. So from your info, successful candidates should expect to be contacted by MTN for interviews within the next one week right? Hope I'm among those called o. #God'sFavour

Gombs:
If you were smart you'd see my point.

How many times Abraham paid tithes? It was recorded once... Doesn't mean it was the only time.

Then I asked, how many times Abraham prayed? Aside Gen 20:17 and maybe one other place (not exactly a prayer sef), I haven't seen or read him pray. If then his prayer was once recorded, does it mean he wasn't a man of prayer, considering the life he lived and faith he demonstrated?

Point is the frequency is immaterial, and asking about spoils of war.. Did Jacob go to war before giving tithes? See, I've had several tithe discussions here and you these current crop are learners... Those before you have failed woefully... Ever wondered why tithe threads don't frequent the section unlike 5years ago? Ever wondered why others don't bother coming here to join band wagons with y'all?

I'd tell you what, only a negligible percentage of Christians on NL religion section don't pay tithes and that percentage includes atheists, pagans, and their likes and then your type.

If you don't want to pay tithe, fine... Please don't disturb those doing, you lot aren't smarter than the rest paying tithes... It is not Compulsory, just like nothing in Christ is "by force"

Cheers.

From my earlier post:


Na wa o. You guys have been busy. Only a few hours gone and it's gone on to several pages.

Let's restate these things again
1. Tithes are for Levites and our pastors are not Levites and therefore unqualified to receive tithes.
2. Abraham didn't give a tithe. He gave a tenth of his WAR SPOILS not from his earnings or flock. And he did it just once as that occasion warranted .
3. Jacob didn't give tithes o! Unless you guys now think that making a deal or agreement with God is now a tithe. He said that IF God did something THEN he would give a tenth.
4. Paul never paid tithes nor did he say anything about how we must pay tithes. What he asked us to do was to give freewill offering so that the Kingdom of God may be expanded .
5. We should give FREEWILL offerings whether it's 2%, 5%, 10%, 10% etc. with this the church would be maintained and the gospel would be spread . Our dear pastors spreading the gospel is to spread it to places that need d light not the places that brought the light to dark Africa. So pls don't open branches in London and New York. Open it in Somalia or Congo basin or some other place that needs it. While you are at it don't buy private jet to go there. Use our giving to spread the word not throw parties in Dubai or buy private jets or buy gucci bags etc. Lol.

So my dear people of God ...let's give to the spreading of the Gospel ...as much as we can but please stop calling it Tithe. We can give 99% if we can sef. And pls question your pastor if you see that your church isn't doing much evangelism but instead na new cars and private jets the church dey acquire.

Junia:
Good
But tithe is a law
God Himself called it a law though it existed before the law
Likewise circumsision existed before the law but is classified as a law
And Paul said if anyone practise it ... Christ will be of no profit to him or her and he or she will be a debtor to the whole law
Thus .. the person will be under a curse

Point of correction ...I don't agree with saying that Tithes pre existed the levites. What Abram gave was not tithe. He gave out of his spoils of war and not from his income (he had flocks of animals he also traded on), also it was a one off. Tithes were specific to the Levites.

So you are on the right track just that part sha. Lol

BERNIMOORE:
Ah, One pastor DeKen Says that Melchizedeck who collect 'spoils of war which was stollen treasure' means that he collected tithe, But he failed woefully to tell us 'that tithe for Gods people was to be 'war spoils' of 'increase of ones income or farm produce''

Lol. What Abraham gave was NOT tithe o! Because it was a one off and it wasn't of his income/produce. It was from spoils of war...he gave 10% quite all right but it wasn't tithe. Even Jacob promised to give God 10% but then he attached a condition to it...that wasn't tithe too. They loved 10%back then but like I said before its only what was described in Deutronomy that are tithes.
Deutronomy actually gives a complete breakdown on tithes and tithing but our modern day pastors seem to forget that scripture and quote Malachi .
Anyways I'd keep repeating it ....our pastors are NOT Levites and hence are not qualified to collect tithes. However they can collect Freewill offerings as Paul described.
#TestEverything

Abeg all these pastors are NOT Levites and therefore should NOT receive tithes. However as Paul the apostle said we should give FREEWILL offerings to propagate the Kingdom of God. Freewill offering can be 2%, 10%, 50% etc...as you choose of your freewill.
Also all these pastors...one question for you...why don't you guys ever open branches in the remote areas that need the gospel why in London,New York, etc and then next private jet to take you there.

Make una shine your eyes o!

kolaish:
who owns you and your tithe/money, who gives you power/wisdom to make riches? GOD. I have been blessed more tremendously by God, so, I not only pay tithe, but contributes a lot to the church and charity. It gives me great joy to do all these, it is not a matter of law

I'm glad you do these things..you should actually help grow the ministry but NOT because a pastor threatens you with Malachi verses but because you are led to do so. God loves a cheerful giver. Please na freewill offering you dey give because your pastor no be levites and hence what he is collecting from you can't be tithe.
That's a fact.
Take care and may God continue to bless you as you give to his ministry .
Shalom

Please let me point to out the following : Tithes as God specified are for Levites. Our pastors are not Levites o! Secondly the bible specified why tithes were to be given to the levites. Pastors of nowadays have businesses etc. What the levites collect are for their sustenance not for flossing like our pastors ...jets, exotic houses and cars etc.
Those pointing to what Abraham (called Abram then) gave should understand that it wasn't tithe. It was a tenth of his LOOT from his war...not a tenth of what he earned (there was money then o! After all he paid money in gold to buy a plot of land to bury Sarah). Anyways he didn't pay d money from his earnings or his flock but just from the loot and he did it of his freewill...he wasn't asked to do so.
Also I hope you all know Jacob too offered to pay 10% to God if God did something for him...that too is not tithe as it was tied to a condition.
Like someone said earlier ...tithe is produce not money and if you want to redeem it with money you pay an addition approx 2%more making it 12% . Do u guys pay 12% to your pastors? Lol. I'm sure u don't.
Anyways I believe the ministry of God should be supported. You should give to the church but only what you want to give freely for God loves a cheerful giver a d when you give (even if it's still 10% of your income) please give because u want to give and don't call it tithe. It's a freewill offering. For as Paul said we should give to support the ministry ...but it done of freewill .
Abeg all these Nigerian pastors are from naija ...not from Israel and are definitely not Levites.
Give because you want to. Don't be forced.

Shine ya eyes. Test everything. BIBLE dey there ..make una read am.
Shalom

mainstream christianity teaches the OT laws and commandments of God are now obsolete and christians don't have to keep them. But hypocritically they still require the OT law of tithing. That is contradictory. Yes it's true the tithe can not be done as commanded by God but for a different reason. First, we must the nature and purpose of tithing according to the Father Himself then we will understand why it isnt possible today. Check out this short video and tell me what you think.

And my FCMB and Diamond bank ain't giving PTA at the moment. I for open Fidelity account. Now am stuck. I have zenith and access account but it's been dormant. Have any body recently reactivated a dormant account and was given PTA asap?

Hello,
My birth package was $10k
All inclusive of labs,epidural,peadiatrician and antenatal care.
Pls for those that flew BA how much was the infant ticket pls its urgent am getting a quote for $300

The infant ticket is a percentage of your own ticket price so that $300 is about the right price from my calculations. It usually ranges between $250- $350. BA fees is usually high. But place a call to their customer service center and see how much a return ticket for the infant would cost. Who knows it might be cheaper as someone suggested. If you call and they give you a price you can hang up, call again and you'd get a different operator who can give you another price to compare with. I say this cos some of the operators are not very knowledgeable. So its like getting a 2nd quote. Lol.

Hello fam. Pls help me o. I need PTA urgently. Who knows of any bank that's selling at the moment? Went to diamond today and was disappointed if i had known i would have bought since last week. Am travelling on friday and i don't have any dollar on me. Black market is not an option right now

Fidelity Bank is selling though I think it's for account holders but still try sha. All the best

Please i need information on California birth. If you have an information about any hospital or doctor in California, i would appreciate it.

California is a very very big place. Which area are you looking at? San Francisco or Southern California? What county? There are good hospitals in those areas. Avoid the main cities like SF or LA. Nearby counties have cheaper rates.
As for checking for hospitals- Google is your friend. Decide on the area then use US News rating to check for hospital in the area and ratings. From there select and check their websites for costs. As for doctors, when you select the hospital you want, use the HealthGrades website to find out more about the doctors that have admitting privileges there. On that site you'd see comments and ratings for each doctor and their history. You would also see the doctor's contact details. Give the doctor a call to get quotes.
If you don't have the patience to go through the forum this is your best bet. No one is going to research (go to the whole forum) for you. Either do it yourself or use the method I suggested.
After doing that you then ask pointed questions for help. Then I fit help you small. Lol.

Nice. Saw her there today. Still looking as lovely as ever

I think the unusual silence is more from an empathetic and compassionate stand point. I didn't use Medicaid the last time and by God's grace, I will not in future as well.

It's really a rough patch to go through with a newborn being ill and all, so people don't want to worsen the situation.

This is my opinion though.

I CONCUR!! This is a sensitive issue hence people are being careful of what to say. Our prayers are with her. that matters the most
