@castano
what is your take on this thing gaaaan sef?
like how many do u think they'll take out of the 15 that were there yesterday?

Gpd, please let me find favour in ur sight. Amen.

trae_z:

Dunddy please answer us these at least:

Any group discussion over a topic?
Any call to sell to them a product?
How soon do u see them calling up?
Wonder if they can afford to take all who make it to interviews and only going to cut out those who really mess up?

really, it wasnt as we all hyped it. like castano rightly said, NB came up with something else other than what goes on in an assessment centre we all know to be.
just some forms to fill and you face a panel for a chat/interview as you deem it depending on your aura and charisma. i mean it becomes a rigorous interview when you have loopholes in you answers and composure but it is more of a chat if you are honest, factual and enthusiastic. then possibly, you get a reimbursment of your transport fare.

so, no there was no group discussion except for a guy who was trying to show when the recruitment team was around (i guess he was just trying to boost his chances sha )
u may be asked during the interview to sell them a product. i was asked but in another way according to my interview.
no one knows how many they want to take. i hear another set is gonna be there again today for another assessment.
they should NOT be taking less than 10 and im pretty sure i am part of them.
may i ask, WHY I WAS THE FIRST TO BE CALLED FOR THE INTERVIEW? im really baffled. shey na from the latest dem dey serve ni?

just normal interview questions (open ended)
just practice generally.
where u at guys?

Okay. so it's done!
sorry guys, i just couldnt talk back there. rules are rules, you know. better still for my own sake
anyways, the stuff went well except for Mr. Okoro on the left tackling me a little and the central man also. overall, i knew i did well and expects their call soon.
how was urs generally? let's have a gist.
i heard another set is coming tommorow for the same assessment. this came from my woman who heard the moderator tell the security peeps.
mehn! i hope my lateness wont cause me trouble sha ooo. it is well.
let's just hope for the best.

okay. u were told 2 weeks too? mine lapses on friday.

bathrooms:

episkopos, gudluck to u guys, got a driving test for wednesday, what are we to expect.what was urs like?

READ the post, brother.

Castano:

@episkopos and dunddy, u guys worry too much.NB will surprise you two with another thing entirely.anyway,optimism is what we need at NB cause if u gotta sell our beer in outstations, u gotta be optimistic.And you guys are coming in at a time our products are selling ever in history.Before 700 cartons of Heineken gets to warehouse,people are already booking everything

oga, u no see my mail for your box?
as regards surprise, could u pls expantiate, we have less than 24 hours. if you are going to help us in anyway, it is now or never ooooooooooo. abi epis, wetin i talkt

@ Episkopos
99.9%
you talk like you've got a very reliable intel! i believe you man!
it is well with us all. i know since they will do verification of result, it shouldn't be a problem what i submit. im sure they must have seen cases like mine before now. haba!

let's meet tomorrow joo. how do i identify u?

problem is -
1. my nysc cert is only a photocopy. i dont have the originial. had to return it since 2008 cos my name was written correctly and hasnt collected it since. they've really been nonchalant.
2. my o'level result is also a print out - i couldnt get my cert cos i couldnt produce my photocard.
but for these two - i have a sworn affidavit and back up docs, like my call up letters, postings to place of pry assgt etc.
do u think i could convince them enough should they probe? i know if they want to verify, my things are authentic but still, initially,wont i look fake? i really dont knwo and im getting disturbed. it is well sha.

u cant afford to stop driving man. u've got to manage ur clutch well. that;s important and use ur side mirrors too. ensure the proper use of trafficking lights. seat belt for u and ur passenger is very important. before u start, check that ur car is in order. read the traffic rules book to know what i'm talking about. it is well with us.
as for me, i dont even know what to do or prepare for. one wonders what is gong to happen on monday.
well, i believe it's the final stage and i know that the lord that has brought me this far, will finish his good work in my life. i will come out smiling.
let's go guys, see u at our induction/training,

no one has an idea of what will happen at the assessment test.

aren't we supposed to fill out the attached form and send back to them?
a friend told me we would have a short test on numeral skills. dunno what kind of questions it will be.
as far as i know, assessment test is meant to check out your impact in a team. you are expected to have an idea of what is going on and contribute meaningfully without imposing yourself on yourself on your teammates.
anybody with another view on what i just said?

i just tot this should be a great idea of helping us all know the kind of questions and answers one gets and gives respectively in an interview.
let's do it this way, i ask a question, you give your best answer possible. then ask another question for the next poster to answer. if you have another idea on how to answer and already answered question, please do share with us (remembering to quote the question you are answering).
Be concise too!

here we go:
give me an example of when you had to work very hard to regain the trust you lost to someone.

An assessment test is an opportunity for the recruiting team observe some traits they want in the potential employees.
however, since the participants do not know exactly what attitude or character may be needed, isn't there a possibility of exhibiting some unwanted outward/outspoken characteristics or being unduly reserved cos one doesn't want to look like Bebeto?
if you have been there before, kindly help us get through the Nigerian breweries exercise.
thank you.

same here.
So, what is the assessment test like?
let's have a feel of what to expect guys.
any one?

i actually had no prior knowledge of what their pay is like, tried asking but got nothing, (God hope i never Bleep up like dis sha)
it is well.
oga, what is the assessment centre all about? what goes on there?

Thanks man, but i indeed set out at past 5am but waited somewhere for the rain to stop. had to enter like that when it did not at 7 am.
besides i had 2 pairs of suits. the one i wore to work/lagos and the other one i intended to wear to the interview. both got very soaked.
as regards an umbrella, i dont that it would have served any purpose in that rain, my dear.
whatever, it is well with us all. we can never be too wise, u know.

no one knows the number they want. but judging by the disappearance of the peeps i left at the reception that day, i could infer that there were different interviewers in different locations. i was interviewed by a lady (brand manager) and a guy from the HR.
bayleaf, who interviewed you and where?
let's just hope for the best. they asked me to specific on how much i want to collect and i told them minimum of 80k. i just hope i did the right thing.

even so, would that have made me invisible to the rain that started before 5 am and ended past 3 pm? or would i have slept at the company's gates?

mine was yesterday.
i was called for BAT interview and cos i wanted to beat time, i arrived lagos from ibadan on friday very late and got to unilag around 11pm.
iwas told thaqt even if i leave unilag by 7, i would get to my venue before 9.
i spent the whole nite going through this thread.
cos i didnt want to fall in the same mess, i got uo early and was setting out when i saw it was raining heavily.
i couldnt believe it. i waited till past seven, still the rain did not stop.  so i entered. i was soaked to my d**k
the suit i wore (i had never washed before) then started bleaching and stained my white shirt.
i looked in the mirror and i remembered the "kogi guy" on this thread. lol.
thank God i had a spare shirt (which i had used as my towel in the morning) and the suit i wore to work the day before,
my interview was scheduled for 9 but as at 9.30 i just got to CMS. i was going to check for the time on my phone for time when i saw 3 missed called from them! fear catch me. then, i took a bike and set out on a journey that should have been made on a boat!
the flood in VI were so,
i entered the venue like a beggar.
i asked the receptionist politely where the gents was and i changed my whole cloth to what i had worn the day before.
yes i was looking fine but something was wrong, the AC. i shivered like i had convulsion. the more i try to control myself, the more i shook. i was going to take my time to adjust when i was called into an even colder room for my interview.
men u needed to see me, my voice quivered! in fact and my jaws were snapping, i had to request that the AC be off!
it was so embarrassing. although the interview went well, one cannot tell what is on the minds of the recruiters,

its was all role based questions, "give us an example of when you, "
they didnt even ask me for the credentials they said i should bring,

episkopos:

Hey dunddy Ʊ looking for me? Omo na waiting process we dey ooooo. I was judging based on ma friend doing d same job presently. He said they just brought 2 directors to naija and they wonna employ pple sharp sharp. Apart from that i gat a friend's friend dat also wrote d same exam we wrote [/b]and said [s][b]they called him for his offer letter straight[/s]. So A̶̲̥̅♏ just wondering ni ooooooo.

u didnt mean THE TEST WE WROTE LAST MONTH did you? for his letter straight without interview? better check the integrity of that intel, could be Nigerian Bakery he was talking about

wonder where episkopo's at

Okay so it is done.
"we will get back to you in two weeks so you know if you are successful at this stage of the interview or not."
how long did you guys spend at the interview? were your credentials checked?

has anyone gone for the interview this week at all (maybe some batch)?
mine was postponed for 9am this morning.
any clue on what to expect?
God let me meet your favour today.

haba, nooooo. it shouldnt take up to that nah. i know there could be delays due to internal issues but look at the different timeframes from afvert to apt test and driving test. the whole thing shouldn't take up to 3 months.

episkopos:

Sanya wassup na? U did your test on tuesday too abi? You sat behind me. Anyway wen i get d message from them i will inform u guys immediately. Am sure we would start getting msgs from today (thursday)

How good is your intel, man?
