Abdulaaleem:
Who else has noticed that it's always a friend outside this platform?
Let someone confirm payment from this platform, we don't want a friend or a friend's friend outside this thread..
Good morning foreign men ����

What do you actually take this platform for? A database of all invitees for the nnpc interview? Hehe. I will always say this
Nairaland represents a very minute fraction of the whole. So expect to read more of "a friend"

yungmin:
oga, you are just going academic now. We know there different engineering disciplines. Mine was just a summary. Some engineering staff in NNPC can be classified as support staff as well

Baba my point is no assumption should be made. I'm not going academic as you put it, under engineering computer, software engineering and others were listed under engineering. So when you say engineering be specific about which of the engineering is considered by nnpc as technical otherwise we can assume all engineering disciplines are technical.
PS: computer engineering guys interviewed with computer science guys under same panel.

yungmin:
were geologist and engineers grouped with social sciences discipline during the interviews? So on what basis are comparing higher score?

However, in every organization, there is what is called ''core functions'' or ''core operations''. Engineering and geophysics are at the core of the NNPC operations. So, it is normal to have them give more considerations to the recruitment of technical staff. These are the core employees of the corporation. A lot of these social sciences positions are support staff. Please, this is not to spite anyone. In organizations like banks, CBN, FIRS etc, they would not employ as much engineers as they would do for social and management science discipline.

So, your complain is baseless

I think we should be more specific when we say engineering here cause we have polymer and textile, telecommunications, software, computer, production, chemical, mechanical, e.t.c engineering

Macgyver1:
Everything is set bro, merit or not... They are just waiting for confirmation from the GMD...which should come on or b4 21 of this month! Like i said before, Sai bayan Salah.

21st is upon us. We wait patiently for the GMD's confirmation

klassd:
Imo

My thoughts here

chiboyo:
Both states are highly competitive... But i would give it to Anambra though (personal opinion)

Okay

chiboyo:
I believe her name is Fumnaya and she is from Anambra...
I stand to be corrected though!

Lol Between imo and anambra which is most competitive

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
kindly answer me first pls just wanna know

Lol
Your curiosity intrigues me but In any case I'm a human first and then a male

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
you're (f) right?

Lol
Why asking?

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
absolutely brilliant don't blame me I just decided to troll

Okay chief. Brilliant

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
anything wrong with it?

You're first a Nigerian according to your signature but that comment doesn't reflect it. If he wants to confuse akwa Ibom, igbo, hausa and yoruba then you shouldn't have a problem with that. And besides there is Amayaya in the language so therefore he even portrays the idea of being a Nigerian first than you claim to be.
You can prove me wrong though. It's fine

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
amaka is igbo while ayaya is akwa Ibom.
don't mix them together they have nothing in common

You're saying all these even with your signature? Wow

Lagbaja01:
A big hug for you

same here Bro. The world deserves better

Ikennablue:
So would you have your child trained to become Messi or an Engineer?

Talent has led a lot of people to wealth, that's absolutely correct but in context like this, Education should come first. A lot of persons are wasting in the street today because they are hoping to become the next Micheal Jackson.

Am not against looking at other part of life but bro when it comes to bringing up kids. The relevance of formal education need not to be over emphasized.

Train your child to be a happy human being and not chase after money as success. Teach him to pursue his passion/talent/gift with an open mind. True success comes from fulfilment of purpose

Robocorp:
Automation can come in different forms depending on what is to be automated, and not all automations are engineering specific. When people talk automation this days, they are most of the times actually referring to IT

God bless you. When automation is mentioned these days IT comes to mind first

xeforesansh:
Invested!!!

Nice nice

onandoc:
I actually understand your point tho but lets be realistic, the statistical difference is huge. If 1300 jobs are going to be distributed among 9000 candidates(estimate), that is less than 15% success rate. Now out of every 100 people that interviewed, only 15 will be successful, if you compare that to the TF alertees vs non alertees, the difference is huge, not only on nairaland, check among your colleagues, friends, other online sources(twitter and d likes), If you look closely, more people are yet to receive alert.

Okay

xeforesansh:
My daily chores after the interview
1. Check my mailbox and spam folder 2. Log into my nnpc profile 3. View this thread 4. Read peoples post for WhatsApp group 5. Pray

Wetin local man wey no get connection do apart from this!

So you just left out
"6. Invest in myself"
part out of it abi

francisgodstime:
Hello guys, am a political science graduate nd all i know abt computer is just d basic stuff, but i would like to learn about programming. Anyone with an idea on how i can go about it, any institution i can attend nd what d cost.

Okay
I like this
However, the first question is why do you want to go into programming?

DaBogu:
The latter.

Interesting Would love to connect

onandoc:
If APL drops before TF has been paid to everybody, then that means there might be a correlation afterall.
From my observations on nairaland, non alertees are way more than the alertees which renders the AB theory useless.

So how about we take an honest poll for the statisticians to see. Nairaland is a representative sample of total applicants and some inference can be drawn.

If you have gotten TFARE alert, like this post.
If you havent gotten alert, share this post.

Let's try and gather accurate stats abeg.. Guests can also sign up and pick...

What if nairaland is a representative of the top percentile/best performers from the just concluded interview hence the large number of persons that haven't been paid their TF, wouldn't that make the ABT theory valid?
PS: I'm not in support of any theory but I just want you to look at your proposition from another anguu

CsRockefeller:
I understand you are quite regular at this Job/Vacancy section. I understand how tiring it is with your situation looking for a job. I don't have much, but accept my token. Hope you find a job soon.

God bless you. This is all that matters, when the thought of you puts a smile on someone's face.

Gbyms:
Maybe he means break the hedge. H accent in writing.

Okay

apaf:
Na u b God wey dey decide abi. even d GMD heart control and FCC is in ur hand with the key of unshaken faith, I encourage the hopeful ones not to allow anyone pollute their faith or cause u to doubt, so u will not sink like peter.
My interview was July 6, 9am.
Ekiti indigene.
From Lagos.
BSc. Met and Mat Eng.
Msc Mechanical Eng.
Interview experience, was very commended with applause and cool handshakes.
2 strong insider confirmed My score was very very good, but keep praying.
GT
Paid july 16, infact first set.
20k.
To cap it all, APL is on the way, based on God has started it, and my faith is that God would not have started what he wont finish, unless u break d edge.
See u all my potential colleagues at the tower.

Pls note for ref purpose.

Please what do you mean by "break the edge"?

DanXplore:
FCC is usually not binding in private companies except its management adopts it as a policy but, it is usually not made known to the public. Since we were told to state our tribes for the Dangote recruitment, it is very likely that Federal Character is one of their recruitment policies. To me, Dangote is looking at recruiting experts from all states in the federation.This could be a conduit to tap some political points in future. There are also rumours in circulation that the Dangote group has a very strong federal affiliation .

This right here is so true.
You've been so quiet on the other thread

DanXplore:
Oh ok, it is clearer now. Federal Character stuff I guess.Thanks

Does FCC affect private companies too like dangote?

donbachi:
if the robbers had wanted to kill the driver they would have shot him.while speeding pass them...that is what my brain just told me.

You obviously don't seem to get the point

nimojozilu:
No o. I was just invited for technical interview of which I dont even know what to expect tomorrow. I studied electrical engineering. Pls anybody with help will be appreciated. I believe after technical interview is psychometric test(i stand to be corrected).Thanks.

Did you do write your test this year, the very first test?

number5:
While you people are carrying out your survey here.. Be careful to note that over 50% of people here are westerners. Its easy to decode this if you've been on the thread for long.

The other less than 50% are largely made up of easterners, a small fraction of people from middle belt and just a few 1-3% from the core north. NL is not a good sample population if we are evaluating by states trust me on that. There are less than 6 persons on this platform from benue and nassarawa combined. (aside ghost readers) That should say alot.

I've always said this before. NL is a poor sample. Westerners have the largest numbers here. That's why the very 1st day of alert (6th) was so loud because most lagisians did that day

In all you do please do not have se,xual intercourse with her. End the whole thing and focus on the productive aspect of your life.

DaBogu:
I am going to share my experience as a recruiter, hiring executive assistants for several clients. Some may not like what I have to say, but I can only speak my truth.

Do we have a major youth unemployment problem in Nigeria,yes we do. While there is a challenge of not enough positions aligned with educated youths, as a recruiter I have seen there is a portion of the youth that is not serious about employment. Almost a sense of entitlement.

Many Nigerian youths have access to data and social media. That is how people find me and apply to jobs. I would think during your idle time, you would take time and teach yourself new skills and level up. Unfortunately this is not the case for many candidates I interview.

Let's say I have 10 candidates that I want to interview. Only 5 of them will respond to my initial interview. The other 5 candidates never respond.

Out of the 5 candidates that respond to my email, only three of them will be able to demonstrate knowledge of excel and PowerPoint.

Once I meet them in person, two candidates will call me the day of the interview with one long story basically saying they can not come to the interview, and only one candidate will actually be ready to present to a candidate.

After going to this process over and over again, I have started to ask myself is it worth it? I want to help more Nigerians get jobs, but it's clear to me overall we are not serious.
ver 400 resumes I have for EA positions, only 50 resumes have been presentable to clients.

Nigerian youths if there is not anything else you get out of my message, you need to level up. The Nigerian education system is not preparing you for the workforce. Start teaching yourself basic etiquette of how to apply for a job and the interview process.

Stop sending emails with no subject title or body in the email. Then you attach your resume and expecting a positive response.

Stop embellishing your resume, only to find your are not anything close to what your resume presents.

Do not put a number on a resume that will be hard for a recruiter to reach you.

And finally, if you applied to a position you should be in your inbox more than social media. I can not tell you how many times I get an email from a candidate a week later saying they are just now seeing my email.
This is the cold hard truth. As much as I want to help Nigerian youths. Many of us are not prepared for employment.

Let me get something straight,
Is this your personal experience or chika uwazie's personal experience or dabogu=Chika uwazie?
Cause I know you are based in Abuja
