This early morning, theories everywhere

Just Got this Info.


If you haven't been paid, up to this point, YOU ARE 95% LIKELY TO GET AN APL. unless your village people are tough.

This doesn't imply that those with alerts cannot eventually get the APL. But there's a slimmer chance, and lots of divine intervention will be needed.

You don't need to believe this, just screenshot and remember this.[/quote]

[quote author=Kspicz post=80678508]Since everyone is sharing thier interview experience, let me share mine too. I had mine on the 9th of July 2019, where i and 5 other candidates where accomplained to the waiting room by a HR officer. I observed we all had studied similar courses in our first degree ( History, tourism, international relations between)buts from different parts of the country. Prior to this, I have tried to prepare for this interview but was uncertain because i had graduated since 2014 plus i practiced as a human resources Officer before starting up a business of my own.

While in the waiting room, I observed there was an active CCTV watching us hence i had to modify my conducts knowing the implication of being an organization misfit. The nice receptionist tried making us feel at ease by informing us it was about being able to display confidence. After two persons, my name was finally called, I stood up and was lead by the panel secretary, a northern man in his mid 30's with a mean look like into the interview room.

My panel was constituted by four persons( two women one roof which was the panel chairperson and two men) . I was offered a seat by the panel chairperson no sooner had i settled they named jocks of my surname which had element of royalty from the Igbo race. Next i was asked to relax as they were my mother's and uncles for the day. The panel chairperson briefly took her leave, then one of the male panelist introduced the panel members. I dashed to pick up my jotter but was halted as he said he believed i must have written i had listening skills. He quickly persued through my CV but couldn't find it. No sooner had he finished, the Chairperson return and refund introduced the panel. She asked if she looked like my mum and i replied she was as beautiful as my mum. She also I required the meaning of my name which i told them, then they refer it to a veteran journalist which luckily enough i was named after. Then they inquired about my state of origin, lga and date of birth which i furnished them with the information.

To the business of the day, a male panelist commented on the recruitment process and how they were iching for retirement inother to go rest as well as access thier pension, then he asked what did i think the recruitment process was all about? I responded succession planning. He was impressed then said he didn't need to ask me why i wanted to work with NNPC.

Next, the chairperson provided a scenario on the dumping on good in Africa by neocolonial super powers then asked me what i understood by globalisation? I defined it and gave an example of the use of social media which had made connect with peeps easier than in the days of letters. Then was a follow up questions on the advantages and disadvantages of globalisation. I provided a few before the Chairperson interrupted it was enough. Then, I was asked a situational based question on the impact of goods dumping on local manufacturing. I responded by giving example of how it affected local production negatively especially in Nigeria. A question was on a skill i would like to develop i.e tailoring and i responded cooking and they panel laughed and nicked named me 'Ofe Owerri'. Then a question on steps undertaken in decision making, i mentioned five, then the chairperson asked what steps i undertook in prioritizing i mentioned a few but she was still expecting me to mention something, I told them that was all i knew, she added availability of others then i thought why didnt i think of that? Then i realized i worked in the private sector, no one asked if you where available, they just dump things on your end. Well i noted the correction and the interview process.I was asked a situation where i had to use my decision making skills and i gave the instance of registering my business and they were okay with that. It was the other lady's turn to ask her question, then she asked me if i drive and i responded " not at the moment" she re emphasised do you drive or not then i responded i have never driven. She then asked me safety precautions i would take when being driven by another on a rainy day. I managed to mention four, then I said i would look at my mirror from time to time to ensure i wasn't being followed. Then all responsed on a rainy day? I stood my ground insisting people could get followed irrespective of the weather conditions ( diary of a Lagos boy). They were satisfied but then i added the no drinking or sustainance abuse.
Then the male panelist asked me for the word i used in concluding, i felt he didn't hear me right, I said "in a nutshell" but he heard "on", I didn't argue or claim right, noted it and thanked him( I am human, not perfect). Then i was given a chance to asked my question, I asked about the change management process in NNPC and it's impact so far which was addressed by the chairperson who provided insight on the process so far. Next, I asked on the impact of AI on the operations of NNPC? She also responded to this before one of the male panelist added some more information and informed me that if i had talked about it in my globalisation question, i did have received all the marks plus a standing ovation. Well what is done is done!

As a HR practitioner we believe it is wrong for an applicant to come for an interview without preparing a question on the organisation. It gives a bad impression on your candidancy or your intentions for joining the organization. But what do i know, I don't have public service experience! Interviews are all about Knowledge, skills, attitude and experience, please be guided! Recruitment would also be inline with organisations' values, it is formal, there is no absolute rule but moderation is key! Your panel is laughing, joking or playing with you, respond adequately but don't forget your professionalism, because everything about you is being assessed ie talk, act, sit, behave etc and the best way to get that information is to make you relax and unguarded but like I would say what do i know, no public service experience ! Las Las, we go dey alright! Pray for grace and favour.

I wish all GT and EH the very best! See you at the towers, God willing!
[panel 28 right?... Almost same questions I was also asked

[quote author=mathology5431 post=80661305]For posterity purpose, I will indeed like to join my fellows in sharing my NNPC CBT and interview experience.
It was indeed a great experience, firstly when I saw history listed as one of the courses required for GT application, I was much elated. The CBT was a technical one, I was the first to finish @my whole centre (Ui dlc centre). God's grace, I got the oral interview invite.
I could remember how I was amazed at the NNPC structure and how I fell in love at first sight. I interviewed on 5th July, Panel 28.
I could remember a guy that studied English while waiting for interview, he asked one of the ushers for a cup of water, specifically a warm/hot water, with the claim of his need to make his voice more audible and confident. grin grin grin, baba drink water finish, na so him voice enter lowkey....tension don carry am commot...(if you're reading this, I miss your expression).
So, I requested to sit
1 first question was asked by the chief panelist, a Yoruba man. He asked for the exact time I arrived for interview and what was I thinking while waiting at the quadrangle.
2. After that, he introduced the panelists and the first asked me to list just 5 challenges or success of NNPC, I asked as a historian we focus on both and if I could list some challenges and success, and they happily agreed. Listed 2 challenges and 3 success. Making 5.
3. Was asked a situational question on how I handled not meeting a particular deadline, got a positive vibe from them after answering
4. Was asked on how I solved a problem creatively, got a mini positive vibe
5. Was asked a discipline related question on Paleontology, paleontologist and paleology, they wanted to distort my thinking but I dealt nicely with the situation.. And lastly safety measures to adopt while fixing a bulb.
6. After all these, we started discussing on the role of history and it's relevance to NNPC, this part was really fun and we cracked jokes and all.
7. Was asked to ask a question, and I asked about their top competitors.
Funniest part was, I was interviewed immediately after a friend we studied at the same department, finished with the same grade, from the same state but different local government.
I pray to God for grace oooo.......I will quote this post to give thanks on receiving my APL with my fellow local men and women very soon!. God's grace!
Signed
Zonal secretary, Local men committee for NNPC
Was interviewed by the same panel, 1st July. They were nice I must say

SportsRe: Portugal Vs Morocco: World Cup (1 - 0) On 20 June, 2018 by Elvidence(m): 1:53pm On Jun 20, 2018
Diickrider:
Until he leads Portugal to the final of the world cup and win it, these goals are useless. Miroslav klose, Ronaldo delima, pele has better world cup goal ratios and the world is not shouting. Messi led Argentina to 2014 finals with less than 5 goals to his name and won MVP. If Ronaldo can't reach this final, then he is doing nothing new in football world

I remembered when Labaran maku wanted to contest for the governorship of his state, he tendered his resignation letter as the minister of information to save himself from the accusing fingers of using public fund to finance his campaign.

But look at Fayemi nd APC, Ekiti guber is a in few months time... shameless fools clinching tenaciously on power without legitimacy.
