60 spread across all disciplines and states. They should just help people and release the mail soon. Ejo, won o ni ba tiyin je (dem no go spoil your life). Release am make we move.

This one pass Dplacement ooh. 4C2 is 12, 12 possible arrangement of 1960. 19,16,10,96,90,91,60,61,69,01,09,06.

Well done sha.

We also never knew the old GT package, so reducing the offer does not matter, especially if more can be taken on. 800k, 2M; all na good package.

Probably right, my estimates were as at 2012 when I had Chevron interview. Always thought NLNG was highest paying grad job in naija.

coolio2014:
You need to update. lol Mobil at least 20m, Total over 20m, Chevron slightly more than Mobil, I do not believe nlng pays as much as Mobil not even close by 2/3mil

Shell 12, Mobil 15, Total 16-18, Chevron- 16-20, Eni - falafolo, NLNG blood money compared to all.

^^^I am perplexed where you guys get this N150 p.a from. That's over a million a month for a trainee

Manchester City just announced Guardiola as manager, to resume in July. That's 5 months notification. NLNG, Biko do like City, even if it's 6 months notification, let someone know. My last job was with 3 months notice, I no die.

Since we were just 5, I believe I know who this is too. So lovely. I am looking for consulting roles in the interim, can you hook your boy up.

okoope:
Yeah..this is really interesting. I was also in group B. First activity was group exercise.

For real, that's very interesting. Collintus and I were on the lower floor, group B.

okoope:
wow...30th june. Had my AC on that day.

I'm sure you were the team leader during the group exercise. Na so......

Collintos:
oh yea was in that location and I am sure you are one of the participants of the AC that day....woow...so you are one of those smart guys ..congratz you made it this far.

Airsay, I feel you. You're referring to the giant within. Not all giants can manifest irrespective of conditions. Some need enabling environments and the eventual capacity will shock onlookers once they manifest.

Regarding the argument of public or private schools being better, it's not a given that either is better. They empower you with different skills, relevant to survival. Just appreciate whichever system you passed through, and be grateful you're one of the success stories from such systems.

Airsaylongcon( I call you Eseoghene in my head), lizard dey reach obodo oyinbo turn alligator ooh. You never see...... People wey get 3rd class for naija dey go Warwick and Bolton for top up, graduate with upper for BSc and Distinction for Masters. I just say make I burst that bubble.

If the upcoming OPEC- Russia meeting agrees to control volume of oil in circulation, leading to price rise to say $60 by February ending; then we may resume in June. Else it's like September.

Did you have your AC in Lagos on 30th June?

Collintos:
@ItsTime4me....I should say, your view is spot on, and it is a valid point. Infact, it will be best practice that no excuse for any further delay should precipitate once the Company is able to overcome this perilous time looking at the global oil and gas industry market dynamics.

Congratz to those that made it this far, and for those on the other side of the balance, heartily wish you all the best too in your other pursuits.

Business needs.

freeradical:
It is to me. Which criteria will they now use to screen out somebody that has aced all the written test, ac, even the background tests that wouldn't be downright prejudiced and outrightly wicked!

It's sad this Q3 gist is true. Some people no get job, and skills set is Engineering/ Oil and gas where there are no jobs. Survival will be tough.

This here breathes life into the Q3/Q4 gist.

Nlng2014:
To those who got closure. Life has a whole lot to offer.

For those still in the running, do you think you know what patience is yet?

Think again.

valid

adenitemi:
Valid arguments up there...but there are more important things like..."Where is LadyF, NanaF, tk4rd,...?". Just showing "Care"

This is where all the knowledge and experience garnered by the NLNG leadership should come in play. Will they take a short-termist decision because of present economic clime? Or will it be a decision in line with their own original market strategy?

Note: typical Nigerian companies always think short-term and is why they typically do not survive generational change.

NLNG management has to define a company strategy and stick to it, else it could precipitate unhealthy organizational practices in the future and ultimately ruin. So many cannot see it, because so many think short term.

vantage7:
Okay, let me add my own conjecture to the discourse. I say the ones that got the "still in the running" mail make up the number of GTs NLNG originally planned to take in subject to passing a medical. Now however, given the economic situation they've realized they might need to cut down on that number. So now they're facing a number of options:
1. Be bold in the face of economic adversity and employ all, focusing on planning for the future of the company.
2. Employ some and wait-list the rest for such a time when things will begin to look up in the industry (even though some here have made reasonable arguments against the logic of wait-listing GT candidates)
3. Trim down the number of intakes outright which means some who got the "still in the running" mail will get a regret mail eventually.

And in the case of option 2 or 3, how do they intend to make the final selection? On what basis? Do they simply raise the cutoff (perhaps per department and also based on FC if it is in play)? Or will they create yet another assessment stage?

Like I said This is just open-minded conjecture so feel free to strike out any highly improbable scenario with good reasons.

I do not know the figures, but I believe NLNG plants are operating close to capacity. Whatever gains that can emanate from squeezing out more capacity, risks putting the facility in the red zone; whereas there is the capacity to expand the system and maintain optimal operations.

The suggestion of squeezing more out, is akin to a manager who works a production line hard with little maintenance, boosting immediate profits and gets promoted. Once the systems start to break down after handover, all profit will be lost & new manager will look incompetent.

Some technological changes might improve capacity yeah, but that will not make a mark in the market. Also, let's think big now, this is playing in the world market. Australia will have almost 80 million metric tonnes by 2020, and we once had more capacity than them. Others are leaving us behind.

airsaylongcon:
Surely P&G will not work with RB to develop diapers. But Pfizer will work with May&Baker to develop an AIDS vaccine. I understand you point though that there's no product differentiation in oil and gas. And that might be a problem (I'm a not so knowledgeable so forgive me if I dey misyan). The fact that Duracell is considered superior to say Tiger head means that P&G will do everything to continually be ahead. But then again we arguing apples and oranges as manufacturers make finished products while oil&gas are raw materials. Nobody really cares if the cocoa beans used to make mars comes from Ghana or Ivory Coast.

As long as BS&W requirements are met the oil companies are just interested in pumping out the barrels as long as it's profitable.

Closer to the goal, yet don't know if it's an hour away or 6 months away. To those who have closure, stay strong, regroup and relaunch with even more optimism.

NLNG had an optimal figure to be recruited, say 130; before all the uncertainties crept in. If they still have up to say 200 in the race that'll still be unfair. They should act similar as they did with the EHs, put on waiting list in April and invited for medicals in November.

For those who don't know, the company's survival strategy in the LNG market is increased market share, hence the train 7 and this recruitment. FID unsigned, yeah, but there's no capacity for survival without increased market share, inspite of the present oil bust. All I'm saying, they need a certain number for quality operation and that number won't change ( especially technical people, they cannot reduce required number of GTs).

Summary of my fears, how soon is NLNGs soon and a mail saying waiting list is better than this process ongoing. Let the wait be when will I resume, not did I scale through.

Show you care.....

It's all good.

The joke will be on them. Will they be inferring no person amongst a generation of Nigerian graduates is good enough? The criteria in the advert made every graduate under 28 yrs as at October 2013 eligible, that is graduates as far back as 2007. The joke will truly be on them.

ceetee:
Won't surprise me if the recruitment is cancelled, postponed indefinitely or they keep mute forever.
After the SHL test, when they weren't sure of the AC details they @ least gave us the outcome and said further details will be communicated to us subsequently.
Can't understand why they can't do same now.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. The management should know better, that their image/brand/credibility is more important. Why else do they get paid if they did not plan properly? Identifying risks and providing mitigating solutions.

Your brand is like trust, you build it for ages and it can zap in a second. They truly have dented theirs, and killed the narrative of a truly Nigerian company excelling. They even do not understand their own competencies, Caring. No iota of its understanding.

The "false" success of their Bonny developmental campaign, which was the flagship of their caring initiative cannot be attributed to management, but solely to money, or probably the founding management. Similar as throwing money at a marriage papers over cracks, little pressure and all might break.

There really is no reason to excuse their incompetence.

Aphrodite4:
True the port might be cleared of all snow but planes may not fly in blizzard conditions.
I think another way to tackle this is to ask ourselves if NLNG is losing money by not taking us up. They may be losing credibility but certainly not money. The lack of communication definitely sets a somewhat negative precedence but say they called all 140 successful candidates when the oil price was $45 (assuming oil price is the sole reason for not reaching out) and this $14 dollar dip to $31 occurred, would it be possible to still take up the 140? Crude oil prices may not strongly affect long term & midterm PSAs but I think it definitely affects spot prices which much of the market is moving towards & NLNG kinda participates in the Atlantic spot market.
But then again sound risk management & market projections would take care of this which is why I'm really starting to think this is looking less & less like a crude oil price issue & more of a Train 7 issue (feedgas & FID myt be d culprit).

Saw a picture of JFK international covered in a blizzard. Imagined if it were the NLNG management handling the airport, some here will say we should give them time to clear the snow out, at least it was God that sent the snow.
They have tried, to let us know we can't fly from the airport and even provided heating.

All I'm saying, do not excuse incompetence. Abhor it, even if/ when you get into the organization.

I have actually sent in 3 inquisitory mails, with no correspondence to show receipt. An automated message would have been professional enough.

Maybe a barrage of mails will spur a response.

Dfavouredone:
Well, it is an understatement to say that we're all tired of this wait.

Grumbling on NL will little help us now. So what can we possibly do?

I have a suggestion.

We should all individually send a passive non-aggressive email to NLNG recruitment email: Recruitment.Online@nlng.com requesting for an update on the AC. I think if we do this collectively the huge volume of inquiries on thesame subject can make them atleast say something.

People are really coming out now. We expected more from NLNG. That's the bottomline.

" Anyone good enough for NLNG will be gainfully busy right now, cmon its been over 2 years since the exercise started. Do you really think someone good enough for this company won't be employed by a small company right now? They can wait a little longer. "

I bet this is the privileged thinking behind the lack of communication to us.

It's all sarcasm bruv. The thread will be lit if such mail were to be released.

coolio2014:
Bruv there has been no such e-mail about cancellation. Ya'll should be mindful of the kind of information you spread.

Happy new year everyone. This year definitely is the year. May the good Lord bless all our endeavors and grant us all jobs we'll be glad to wake up to.

Sounds like South Korea is a winner. I love that country, all they have is human resource and some water, and they are a very developed and beautiful country. Imagine running a coal plant over 4GW capacity without owning coal mines. They run over 10GW gas fired combined cycle plants without owning a single oil or gas field, NLNG supplies them cargoes sometimes.

My brother, am not being pessimistic, this 2016 na gbagam!the western industrialized countries buying crude oil and LNG are gaining.

The cost of gasoline has gone very low in these countries cus cruudeoil price has fallen. See us here buying N140 per liter of PMS. Is it not expected that petrol price shouuld be sold a very flower price than N70 if we were in a sane country, given the low price of crude oil? What is globally a blessing, will always find a way to be a curse to us. Human factor! Bad leadership!!

We don't experience natural prodogies in this country. No tornadoes, landslide, earthquate etc. 98% of our problem as a nation is human-caused.

It is so scary in Naija cos there isn't a non-oil economy to transfer skills to. Even the sister power industry is yet to get it's feet sorted.

On our problems as a nation, sometimes adversity is necessary for growth. If we had a cold season where people will die without supply of heat, a Nigerian would have found solution before Isaac saw the apple drop.

We are where we are, a few of us should inspite of the challenges strive to put our nation on a sound path. We can, if we just try.

In other related unrelated news, Oil Service companies are obviously having it tough. Letting go of staff enmasse, even relatively low earners. I truly wonder who the winner is in this price war.

It is their getaway, let them enjoy it. You can decide to dumb down and just enjoy your family's company, basically sacrificing the 30 minutes. But please don't over analyze the script and ruin the show for them. I did same with mine, with Iroko and Ibaka subscriptions for Yoruba movies.

Saved2Serve:
This puertorican telenovella have made me a recluse in my own home. Wife and sister are good followers. I have tried to force myself to like it and flow with them cus I believe in adaptability and flexibility in relationship but am not flowing. No connection whatsoever! My type na action-packed movie sure pass!

I now watch my favorite movies in the room while the rest are in the living room. Someone needs to tell me how to develop some likeness for this telemundo. Its isolating for me seeing my wife and sister screaming, laughing hard, moody and ecstatic while watching this piece. I want to flow with them in enjoying those emotional outburst while it lasts. I want to scream when they scream too.

It's sad the time taken by this recruitment process opened people to ridicule, within and outside this thread. Else this talk of humility amongst others wouldn't come up.
Life happens, and my ultimate lesson from all these is Nigerian manned institutions aren't to be trusted wholeheartedly.
