eldega: my candid opinion regarding the test..............................

for the graduate specialist, I guess workforce has done a wonderful job by separating individual according to their course of study and probably job functions they hope dey will be taken in uac.have seen like four diff invite with different test code like MRK0000 or AC0000.

My conclusion is that MRK simply means marketing while AC stand for accounting....based on my experience, this means there might be some sort of functionality based questions in the test (according to your projected job function in uac)........some answering marketing, sales, engineering or accounting related questions (job specification/functionality)..........

THIS IS JUST MY OBSERVATION AND OPINION FOR THE TEST BUT I STAND TO BE CORRECTED

my candid opinion regarding the test..............................

oluwarantimi: Just got a mail for the next phase from workforce. The link doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else with this issh?

finally, the nxt phase is a cbt.......

henricson: I don't think u will be asked to prepare financial statements, cause that will be time consuming considering the number applying.
But then I might be wrong!

Its not about you preparing financial statements...annual reports tells you everytyn u need to know about an organization..........having an indept of it is not a bad idea.................

You can imagine someone asking you during the interview.............WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK WITH US?.....................Answerin this using all the necessary infomation you deduced from their annual report can give you an upper edge cos this shows you have taken your time to know more about your potential employers business and also contributing your own quota to maintain the trend.


N.B: Am not also an accountant nor studied accounting......................just saying cos there is room for people to counter what i said.

based on my experience from picking in a basket.....have attended various interviews where I had 2 choose 4rm a basket...................the most important thing is confidence cos even when u know lack of adequate time might hinder u 4rm delivering.......some of d questions have come about are
1. active listening as the best way of communication
2. ecowas
3. climate change
4. unesco
5. nig monetary policy

sum1 just need to have general knowledge of so many things

I always see my neighbour children play in the compound during weekends and some other days. I imagined the kind of play children of nowadays do and their knowledge of Yoruba language.
I remembered back in the days when i was still their age, almost every night my grandfather will sit us down with other children teaching us about our culture and some beautiful yoruba languages (Ewa Ede yoruba). Hardly you see anything like that this days.....the question to be asked is that is our culture going into extinction?.........
I remembered him telling us different yoruba stories and riddles (Alo Apamo ati Alo Apagbe), those moments are beautiful cos they expose you to indept knowledge of Yoruba with all the explanations that comes with the stories. Below are some riddles which i started jotting down since yesterday and decided to share it.
There is room for corrections and additions as am not a yoruba graduate nor Yoruba teacher but i felt its necessary to remind some of us about this riddles so we refresh our memory......

Dfavouredone: Bros do u just say dragnet is not a fraud.

Ok hv u gotten any thru them?
Pls dont me u just passed a test or inteerview - hv u gotten an offer thru them?
Pls dnt tell me a frnd of ur hv gotten an offer thru - hv u in particular ever gotten an OFFER? Then pls tell us about it. They can make u successful at a stage but finally give the offer in a fraudulent way - read my above post to understand more.

Dragnet or any other reputable recruitment agency is not a fraud...............Depending on your experience bro, always be positive......Got a job in the past through dragnet, workforce and even adexen......I know so many people that has got either one job or the other from dragnet and all these other reputable recruitment agencies can testify to this.

faith2ogesco: dude ur story ain't easy to swallow.Its all about Gods favor sha.don't wanna b in ur shoes as at DAT tym.tanks for d enlightenment.

Yeah, recruitments its all about God's favour and no be by who know book pass (Most times, those that lack the requisite knowledge get all these lucrative jobs)......had to pick positives out of all those situations and that makes me stronger......i believed in myself, never relent on my effort and never let failure of one recruitment process weigh me down in trying all over again for another, i learnt from my failures in all those recruitments and am still learning..................Today, all those moments are history.

I just pray for the best for every one of us..................

Rich4god: So na so I dull reach... After feeling that I did pretty well in the online test... Got a regret mail... Diaris God ooo

you aint dull bro

To all those of us that got regret mails, remember its not the end of the world.......Never let the disappointment weigh u down, there are still many other options out there and what ever will be urs will definitely be urs...i was once in your shoe, wrote so many tests and interviews with both local and multinational companies...Got dropped at either one stage or the other of recruitment processes most especially getting to the final stages for GE,Cadbury,Unilever,NLNG,Shell,UBA,Diamond,KPMG,PWC,Standard chartered,Diamond and so many others i purposely erazed from my database.
During all this trying period, i do encourage myself with a small poem "GOOD.... BETTER.... BEST, I SHALL NOT REST UNTILL MY GOOD IS BETTER AND BEST"......lets just keep trying harder and our Good will surely become best in no time.


For some of us that got a success mail, remember its not the team that score firdt wins the match........Getting a success mail means its time to prepare really hard for the task ahead cos u never know what they want in you nor who you are competing with. Read all about recruitment processes and ask questions from those with experiences..make enquiries and get prepared for the task ahead.......I WISH ALL OF US SUCCESS IN WHATEVER WE ENGAGE IN

austein: Good evening frnds,I got a text from WORKFORCE on the 18th of August,2014 telling me that I'm successful in the 1st stage of the online UAC assessment held in July,2014.

I was in workforce office late lastweek for some recruitment stuff. I make enquiries about UAC recruitment and i was told authoritatively that no decision has been taken yet regarding the recruitment as they will communicate the next stage to those that scale through soon.

I was not given the precise time pple will be called but as of today...am 100% sure nobody has been called based on my findings from their office.

Thank You jare my brother.

Obitex4real: @ Eldega who are u lashing out on?keep ur fucking anger to ur self or better stil skip the question

Who is lashing at you? u asked a question and i provided an answer.......Deciding wether my answer is right or wrong is your choice bro.
Moreover, why should i be angry? ontop wetyn?



ASKING A QUESTION THAT'S NOT WORTHY OF A GRADUATE........Mcheeeewwwwwww

Obitex4real: please how do we check d result?Is it by login or are we going recieve it by email or sms.Thanks

You will receive it through FedEx or DHL

thegreatman4ww: At the bolded, I may not argue with you but I 100% disagree. Let the lazy one rejoices but the wise one always have extra oil for their lamp. Just few weeks away, the reality will hit unexpectedly.

There's nothing to argue abt and u dont av 2 agree with me bro but am more than 100% sure of what I did and passed........

uchennn: abeg tell dem
all these initial gragra don too much

Individual case study was just a page.....u will be given between 20-30minutes to analyse it and 10mins for presentation to the panel of 2 or 3.

Group discussion was 3pages...............20mins given to discuss and no presentation on that as the interviewer were only observing.....



NB: It might be the SHL guys (Oyinbos) from UK that will conduct the interview for some applicants.

Urine: Did you notice something? He was called a trialist in that commentary, the writer also said he isn't City's player yet. I'm a bit confused.

i was a bit confuse reading it too......sound as if mancity have not sign him and if datz d case......wat a good way to put ursef in the market

superb performance

TOYNEX: na wa o... see Cambridge question.

topelouis: Did u pass it?

Dunno oooooo

Paroman: **..Checks her neck for a pulse then pours a pot of hot water on her neck....**

**checks again frantically for a pulse, can't find one............gets ready for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation...**Those who did theirs last year said it was up to 7 pages. So you better join us in brainstorming here to prepare for the tough task ahead.

says who? I did last year and was just 3pages sir

JAGZZ: The ones you are seeing here are even too short. Union Bank case studies would be like 6-7 pages.

6-7 pages ke? wetyn happen oga? shouldn't be more than 2-3 pages max.

sirmielee: I want serious suggestion from the group.

I had started off with banking on quite a rugged note, started off as a DSA with a local bank on a basic pay of 28k. During that time I had written different test and sent out lots of Cv's. part of the test I wrote are keystone dragnet bank test,Union bank dragnet test,Theois bank dragnet test.

Amidst all of that I got another offer from an international bank for a sales role with 65-70k basic pay. Its a 2yr Fixed term contract.

I got an interview invite for the Theois bank job but had to turn it down because it isn't a commercial bank.

on the first day of my training I got a success mail from dragnet for the union bank job.

As part of the criteria for the union bank job is that u must not be more than 26 before the end of mar 2014. My birthday is April when I will exceed that stipulated age.

Too frequent changes from a place of work to another I.e high turnover on ones CV is another disadvantage.

suggestions are needed on the following basis


1. Age at the point of interview, does it matter?

2. Should I abandon the union bank job and concentrate on what I have now as they are incomparable in terms of brand name?

3. If it were u, what will you do?

4. Is the union bank job worth giving it a try?

All suggestions are welcomed as none will be treated as insignificant.

I need it just to see from other people's point of view cos I have my decision to make.

pm and lets talk.......

lynpetra: Nothing is wrong.
Some people don't like wearing shoes without socks.By the way,it makes the shoe smell bad sometimes.

Wealthyone: Fine jare.....Alhamdulilah. Time for ifthar

Wealthyone: Nawa o. So someone actually uses January10 as his/her monicker. Anyway, ur signature answers ur question.
