9. Formula Used: An aggregate of your exam score and interview score divided by 2.. Let me explain (Exam score is 100%, Interview grading is also 100%- if you score 80 + 50, that gives you 65% which is quite poor else you are from the less privileged states)

Kindly Note: Those folks that interviewed candidates were playing mind games, they were looking for the slightest reason to mark you down, and like I mentioned earlier, their friendly appearances and warm smiles don't mean they scored you well. Answering all questions correctly means little too. The following things counted;
a. Your presentation skills
b. Problem-solving skill
c. and your facial appeal.

Most HRs act based on emotions and what they see.

I didn't want to post this because of personal reasons but on a second thought I think I owe it to posterity to do this because I gained a lot from 2016, 2017 threads and other nairaland threads that I've been following.
I had my pwc interview on friday but before I go into details let me talk about my experience so far. For OPQ, consistency is all they want. Even if u are choosing all the "negative" traits, just be consistent with them. Or better still visit 2017 thread from page 50-65, LaRochelle and her gang laid down some pretty nice traits they were consistent with. You can stick to those traits and be consistent with them.
Back to my interview, my team's topic was Tourism and it's importance to Nigerian economy. For the other team that did on the same day, their topic was Child labor and ways to eradicate it. It's best if your team can choose it's presenter, time keeper, coordinator etc before you guys enter the room as this will save time for your team and everyone should try and contribute as the panelists will be seated on the same table with you guys and will be writing something (scoring you guys) as you people are deliberating on the topic. Contributions is more important than being time keeper or coordinator.
My one on one interview proper: [/b]I was really drilled. [b]No amount of preparation would have prepared me enough for what I went through on friday. I spent closed to an hour and I was asked more than 20 questions. Being truthful is the way forward or if u can construct your response beforehand, good for you. But one thing I learnt from the interview is that you can not prepare enough and you can't plan for every possible situation based questions.
The questions I was asked is as follows:
If given a 2nd chance at the group presentation what will I do differently
Tell us about yourself
Tell us about a time you showcased a skill i mentioned in the "tell us about yourself response"
What do you know about pwc
What do you know about pwc Nigeria
Tell us about a time you showcased your communication skills
How do you stay updated with current news
Tell us about a time you had a conflict with people in my previous place of work
Don't I think I took the conflict too far?
Tell us about about time you learnt something about a new environment
Tell us about a time you interacted with people outside your immediate circle (people you are not familiar with), and your contribution to the interaction
Tell us a time you convinced someone to accept my own idea
Do I know what services pwc offer
Do I know what auditors do
What's your career goal
Do I think engineering has prepared me to be an auditor
Which department did you apply to
Why did you apply to audit
The department my favourite pwc partner works in (because I mentioned a partner as my favourite in one of our discussions)
Do u have a mentor, if yes what impact has he made to your career choice
Tell us about a recent financial news and it's effect on the economy
I was finally asked to ask them a question, which I did
There are still some that I cannot remember and only the first 6 questions are in the order that I was asked

N/B: Please go with your credentials if you can, because some of us were asked for them as they were having problems finding our credentials

The panelists were really nice. I was given a bottle of water and I drank more than half of it. I was even asked to go with the rest

In in all, do your best and hope for the best

This is quite easy to understand. Let me use this example. Lets say 25 geologist are needed in this particular (DPR 2016) recruitment. Now there are specific number of applicants needed per zone. That means the 25 would be shared among the 6 geopolitical zones.

The best applicants from each state will have to compete for positions slotted for their geopolitical zones (this was clearly explained in FCC site). Now for example the Southeast have only 5 slot out of the 25 geology slots. Now the best five is taken making sure that each state (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo) makes that final list. This is also applied across other zones.

So after we scaled our state, we have to compete for positions on a zonal level and each state in that zone must all be represented.

The selection is rigorous and it will not be easy for those in charge of that. And it is very COMPETITIVE. Just the very best makes it at last.

lol

9jasam:
i like ur analysis but u got it wrong in some places.
assuming d least slot for any state is 5. all first 5 in each state r picked. then some post will be vacant. if lagos and gombe(just assuming) slot is 5 , dat is all for them. those vacant post will b filled by the next minimum across other states. lets say d next minimum is 8. other post will b filled by d next 3 rank across all states with 8 and above slots. the process goes to d next minimum, and so on until all quota are satisfied. i hope u can make sense of this.

I think he's in an unopposed position

all i know is dat i am d only one from my state. LAGOS

ApostleLucifer:
Let's sum up this useless thread by saying shugavee is a worthless, gold-digging, hungry, cheap, overused feminist thot with absolutely nothing to offer except her vagina.

If not, why is **his** money her primary concern in a relationship? Answer: Because she lacks it and needs it and the only way she can get it is through sex. Not brains or work - sex.

This is logic. It's not complicated neither is this an insult.

According to her, there is nothing more important to her in a relationship than the money she gets from the man. That makes her a hoe - simple.

Now understand the hypocrisy behind her feminism (according to her)
1. She doesn't need a man in her life; she's self made.
2. She cannot date a broke man.

Logic begs this question;
1. If you're self made and a feminist, why do you need a man at all?

I had a hard time following your narrative because of the lack of proper punctuation marks that pushed your presentation to the edge of incoherence.

A rude lady does not represent the entire feminine gender, and how you managed to link a workplace altercation between two adults to the high rate of divorce in modern Nigerian society baffles me and has left me scratching my head.

your article is a stinky mental fart, fouling up the atmosphere sorrounding logic and commons sense, and leading me to the conclusion that many Nairaland youths are irreedambly puerile and are always quick to write jejune epistles on things they no little about.

Ishilove:
the OP is a load of sexist bullshit. If it were printed on paper, I'd rip it out, spread it on the floor in the bush and _shit on it,

I will send you a memo the day I give a flying fvck

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) is irked by the constant propensity of Nigerian lawmakers to armtwist the executive. We condemn acts of legislative brigandage and parliamentary subjugation of the executive. It is a rape on the democratic principle of separation of powers.

A woman of the Banu Makhzumiyyah stole something and Usamah bin Saeed came to the Prophet to intercede. Instead of doing Usama’s bidding, the Prophet (pbuh) said, “If an influential man among the children of Israel stole something, they would allow him to go scot free. But if a poor man stole, they would cut off his hand. But I tell you that even if Fatima (his daughter) steals anything, I will cut off her hand” (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

Hello D, I got your message. Below is my response:



* Starting salary is between 165k and 180k but it's safe to stick to 165k.

* There is salary differentials in PwC. The more value you add to the firm the more you are likely to get paid. Those who are chartered get more than their mates who are yet to be chartered but the salary differential with respect to this criterion is not material; say, between 5k to 15k.

* Your salary increases at every stage of your development. So, Yes, when you scale through the probation period (the first 6 months), your salary will increase to something between 175k to 195k.




You heard right! If you continue to perform very well, you should make the third level associate i.e Associate 1 (A1) in 1 year; starting from Associate 3 (A3). At A1, your salary should be between 185k and 205k.



Movements/Promotions in PwC is relatively fair compared to some other organisations. Moving within a grade level e.g Associates (A3 to A1) or Senior Associates (SA3 to SA1) is termed movement as long as they are within the same grade. Movement from one grade to another e.g from Associate to Senior Associate i.e from A1 to SA3 is termed promotion.

Appraisals are done with respect to any job you spend at least 40 hours on, and the appraisal system is such that you will be graded from a scale of (1) to (5). If you are graded either (1) or (2), it means that you are doing exceedingly well or you are performing beyond expectation. If you are graded (3) it means you are performing as expected. But anything below (3) is not good i.e you are performing below expectation.

For someone who is consistently ranked between (1) and (2) all through, the individual is expected to become a senior associate in just one and a half years from the moment he steps into PwC. But if the individual is ranked between (2) and (3), the individual might spend about 2 years before becoming a Senior Associate. You do not get moved or promoted when you are ranked below (3).

In summary, it will take a year and half to become a senior associate if you perform above expectation, 2 years if you are performing as expected but no promotion or movement if you are performing below expectation.



A first level Senior Associate (SA3) earns between 220k to 230k; a second level Senior Associate (SA2) earns between 260k and 275k while a third level Senior Associate (SA1) earns something in the region of 300k to 360k.



That is not true! Performance bonuses are paid at the discretion of the partners. Some Units meet their targets and get paid their bonuses but this bonus is NOT a 'Right'. If you get paid, then take it as 'other income'. Please don't plan your wedding based on this bonus otherwise you might get the shocker of a lifetime.



NO!!!



Your leave should come up anytime from July, 2014 and your bonus is paid when due. Human Capital (HC) will give directives to this effect. Usually you get paid your leave allowance towards the end of the month alongside your salary; but you must have commenced your leave and applied for the allowance at the exact time HC advised.



NO!!!



YES!!! Mainly conservative colours that do not constitute what one would term: Colour riot. This is different for ladies.



You can do without a Jacket but the suit pant is compulsory and you must wear a tie unless when you are at a client's site where 'dressing down' is the norm, then you can skip the tie but first get the permission of your Lead Senior.



1) Staff car loan.
2) Training.

I will strongly advise that you do not apply for a car loan because HE WHO GOES BORROWING, GOES SORROWING WHEN PAYING BACK. If you must buy a car, please save to buy one.



NO! NO!! NO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I think you are the person that lacked the understanding of what you just posted. It is clearly stated as the first point that redemption is within 5 business days.

dotcomnamename:
You are 100% wrong. The 3 days is the processing time for a request to have ACCESS to online redemption.

awesomeJ:
Bros, if you had been here long enough, you would know that Realityshot is only giving his appraisal a customer and not a staff.

Meanwhile the statement you highlighted in that snapshot doesn't say "online redemption gets processed within 3 days"
rather what it says is If you request to have access to online redemption, that request (to make your funds redeemable online) is processed within 3 days.

Meanwhile all my redemption requests have never exceeded 40hours.
