Guys,

There is a fallacy called "ad hominem fallacy", or "argumentum ad hominem fallacy".

From Wikipedia,
"Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself"

While some people believe in sharing thoughts and ideas to fellow contestants, others are vehemently against it. There is no problem with both, y'all are entitled to your opinion.

But you don't have to abuse someone, call someone stupid or fight someone to make your point. It is totally unnecessary.

Let us have civil discussions. If we do not reach a compromise, then we can agree to disagree. smiley

Your type is very rare.. everyone that has theirs since Monday have been hoarding questions. I pray you truly get what u deserve.. God bless you for this
Hey there,

You wanted to appreciate the guy, that's a very good gesture.

But you don't really need to throw jibes at others to make your point. Everyone shares what they feel will help others. Some are detailed, and some are summarized.

We are all friends here, and hoping to be among the selected 1000.

Have a wonderful night rest wink

All My NNPC GT Interview Experience on 3rd July 2019 (Panel 47 later turn 16)

I woke up as early as 4am, did final preparation and interview practice. Left my place at 6am, took coastal bus to NNPC Towers.....

. ...I told him "I WILL BE BACK". He smilled. I left the tense NNPC TOWERS at 2:07pm.

... I sincerely wish those yet to be interviewed the very best. I pray this experience I had could help someone.

#See you at the top.
You are a good man and have a kind heart. I sincerely hope and pray for you to get this job.

Good morning people.

I got an invite for the oral interview. But I'm not really convinced abt going.

I stay in Ibadan. Going all the way to Abuja will demand a lot at this time. I will have to take permission from my present work place, to be absent for at least three days. Also, financially I'm not that buoyant. Accommodation in Abuja for at least a night is also a challenge. Plus the report I read on the previous recruitment thread is not encouraging. Its more like a man-know-man thing than merit recruitment.

I can still defy all this and "rugged" everything to attend the interview, but my nairaland people, the question is, "is it really worth the stress"?

Please advise.
Bros, you attract what you think. Magnetic law..lol cheesy

Please clear your mind of damaging thoughts like..you can't get a job unless you know someone. It's awkward!

Change that mindset and you will realise there are so many opportunities out there. My friends are working in places you can't even imagine.

World bank. UN. Total. ExxonMobil. Microsoft. Google. Nestle. What else? We all don't know anyone. We dont even want to know.

Since we finished school years ago, and realize we don't have big uncles, we don't have any option but to work hard, and work smart. The results are glaring.

Go for the interview. Put in your best. Convince yourself you will get the job. You are competent, bold and daring. And pray.

When you finish the interview, remove your mind from it and focus on other things.

If they call.you for the job, good for NNPC. If they don't call you, their loss. They just lost a gem.

Guys please I need help to my question.

Will it be Ideal to include practical skill like tiles fixing in my CV?.

that's one area I have really gained strong experience in and can talk about it very well. I just rounded up my nysc around March though.

I'm looking at adding that to my cv as been odd. please I need honest reply.

Jarus, Xfire and other experts please help me.
m
You are a GT. You are allowed to add anything on your cv...they understand you are poised to impress. It might just show you are entrepreneurial.

But, prepare for a question like..how do you think the skill is beneficial and can be transferred to working at NNPC? If you can't comfortably answer this question..then drop it from your cv.

Guys just a quick question: how do i explain that a company I joined 3 months ago is not a good fit for me without badmouthing it?
I personally believe I shouldn't be long where I dont belong.
Guys please advise. �
You dont need to directly answer the question if asked. You might say something like you believe NNPC is better suited to your long term career goals.

If they insist on why you are leaving, career progression is always a right answer...lol just dodge the question and focus on why you are applying to nnpc.. cheesy

Or if you have extensive experience..you can totally leave it out of your cv...
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Apply For 2019 NNPC Graduate Trainee And Experience Hire by geektrovert: 11:39pm On Jul 01, 2019
I did mine today. A bit of info to help you guys coming later.

Review your CV very well. Basically, your CV is your interview. GTs, If you cannot honestly defend what's on your CV, change it now (you can now..no one has seen it yet) to a simpler one and make six copies. Lol, CV is just one part of the interview. So, this is no "expo". But your CV determines the tone of your interview.

Prepare for situational/behavioral questions. At least one. IFTTT, if this happens, what will you do... this particular question is almost different for everyone. So don't expect to be asked what your friend was asked.

Prepare for one NNPC related question. It is different based on which group is interviewing you. It might be..why should we hire you? What can you do for NNPC? How do you contribute to the vision of the company? Where do you fit in? Anything like these...so don't cram anything.

Almost everyone started the interview with "tell us about yourself/can we meet you?" This question looks simple, but it is not. Google how to answer this question under 2 minutes without blabbering.

Prepare for standard interview questions... conflict resolution/teamwork/leadership scenario, etc...Just prepare like it is another standard interview.

Be calm, and say your mind. Structure your responses well, a little bit of fact, a little bit of cockiness...

...............

PS: Sharing these tips does not reduce my chance in any way. cheesy God helps us all!! Peace out!

Not too far. At off-peak hours, you can get to CBD in less than an hour.

Thank you Oga mi grin, any idea if they would require references from places worked? Or go to tge company to maybe verify? I didn't stay long b4 starting my own business.
Nowadays, reference are checked ONLY after you have been given an offer. The reference check is part of the checks during probation period.


Good people,

This is a faceless forum. There are good people and bad people.

Please be wary of sharing your itineraries, travelling times, location and personal details like emails and phone numbers.

Be careful in accepting favours - favours over the internet. Use your discretion.

If you must meet someone, meet them in a public place and don't be too trusting. Lol eyes don see abeg angry

There are still good people out there sha. Just be very careful.

There are only two things you should know.

Speak the truth.
Be super confident.
......
Know about nnpc/its subsidiaries/current happenings
Know about your state
Know what's in your cv.

Before they ask you, ask yourself now..what do you bring to the table? Why should they hire you?

What's your vision for your life?
What's your vision for NNPC

But in summary, be super confident and always speak the truth.

Interview don finish.
You did not come this far to be scared and shaky.
Welcome to NNPC cheesy

Kayceenaz:
Good evening! Everyone.

Please, can someone, who is very familiar with the Abuja terrain, recommend an affordable hotel or guest house close to NNPC towers? Ideas on price per night would be appreciated. I await your informed responses. Thank you!
Insider suggestion.

Don't look for Hotels close to NNPC, they are expensive. Look for hotels in areas far from CBD..they are cheaper, then leave early on your interview day. There isn't much traffic problem in Abuja.

Look for hotels in..

Garki Area 3, Area 7, Area 10
Wuse
Apo
Jabi/Kado/Lifecamp

Or if you really are on a budget

Lugbe
Jahi
Kubwa

If you really need to save


Nyanya
Mararaba
Jikwoi
Kuje
..

But try and pray and be safe.
Don't move in Abuja at night unless necessary
There is a rise in mugging, robbing, carjacking etc.

If anyone/two people in a car stop you and want to harass you to get in, don't ever step into the car unless they are in uniforms, the car is a police car, and they have IDs, and then, use your discretion.

If they try and point a gun at you, shout/run.

Criminals easily notice newcomers. So be sharp and prayerful.

Avoid places that are scanty, Be safe. Avoid club areas around Wuse 2 if you don't have business there.

I pray you go and return safely.

Jarus:
Skype means all attention will be on 1 person for the entire 2 hours. For class, the theory part (ie teaching you interview tips, about NNPC, oil and gas industry etc will be taken together as a joint class before streamlining to individual mock interview). So you see why Skype is more expensive. You can still call the number for discussions anyway.

Jarus,

You can always create a link for Skype Group calling. I believe the participants can be up to 25 or thereabouts.

You can create links for different times over the weekend and send the link to people who have paid. This might reduce associated cost of Skype tutorials.

I'm really interested, but that 15k...God dey..

If Skype does not work, you can always use Zoom.

Thanks

You have urgent personal issues and you need to travel (no explanation)
