Completed Kerry verbal test about a week ago and have not heard from them since then. Anybody experiencing same?

ethene:
Not exactly true! I passed and I got the mail almost immediately I submitted. I don't think the time they take to respond (whether regret or success) follows a defined pattern.

Pls when did you complete your second test.? At what time?

Philadelphia:
I wrote mine around then. Have you gotten any response from them?

No response yet

JustKeen:
Let me guess you took your test late on Friday?

Did mine on Saturday. Having the same issue here.


I'm thinking maybe the reply is not automated hence a HR person needs to review your test score before you get a reply though this is just a conjecture.

Anyways, keep the hope alive since you didn't get a regret mail. By Monday or so, we'd know better.
Cheers!

Int'l Project Mgt Professionals? Dat's another waste of resource!! If u want 2 take project mgt course look for a recognized professional body or institution. I did it during my service n have it on my CV but it doesn't add anything to my bill neither has any employer make reference to it.

Hello house
Hello Eddyken

please what is the course content of the NIM course like?
Is it the same or similar to IPMP course.

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

dannyabba:
Yeah! Dragnet. 20 questions in 17 minutes. 2 sections for most people but some people had 3 sections (3rd being abstract). I could send you some samples, if you care for them.

NB* This info is based on 2014's test. Dragnet might have restrategized.

Pls send to engrheavensboy@yahoo.com.
Any other person that has got it should pls help send to me.
Thanks

[quote author=ElDeeVee post=34737339][/quote]Bro, while waiting for the gurus in the house to give an elaborate response, I think he should concentrate on mastering the job aptitude tests and do well in their interviews. Professional certifications are just an added advantage in few cases especially at graduate entry level. But it's good to have them especially HSE or I.T certifications and the likes.
Hope it helps.

belzieee:
please how much do you think a fresh graduate with a b.a human resource management without masters and work experience can be paid in TOTAL?

This is the much I know:
If you don't have work experience, then you are entering as a graduate trainee in Total.
I heard shell pays around 6M per annum and Total pays more ( around 17M) but don't know the accurate figure. Just go back and read the thread from page 1 to get more insight. Masters is just an added advantage which is not necessarily needed at graduate trainee level.

Hope it helps.

We are in it together. Total uses SHL if you can lay your hand on any of that you are good to go. Success is ours.

Please what is the criteria for being selected for this scholarship after your application on their website.
Thanks

Wow, I started this thread more than 4 years ago when my friend was on the verge of joining total. How time goes.
To your question, very few institutions would increase one's employment prospects these days and there are no guarantees of jobs even after spending thousands of pounds to attend any of the UK institutions you stated above. As your CGPA is above 4, I would ask you to gun for schools in AND outside of the UK, especially in other parts of Europe such as Germany, Netherlands, France, etc.. Schools in these countries are good, but they are under-hyped and under-advertised relative to UK schools. Tu Delf in the Netherlands is expecially popular for oil and gas courses with good placement records. One nairalander, handle name 2good, attended this university on scholarship and was placed in a good oil and gas company afterwards. He has a profile similar to yours..You may want to search for him and contact him directly. Hopefully, he responds to you.
Getting a scholarship at any school within or outside of the UK might be difficult, but the good thing about applying to schools in other countries in Europe is that the costs/fees may be much more bearable as you some of these universities demand little or no tuition fees and you would only need to cover your living expenses which are often not too high. In this case, you would be getting the same Master's degree at a significantly lower cost. In general, studying at a good school outside of the UK does not put one at a disadvantage in relation to those who study in the UK, except of course those studying in the UK are attending the very best schools there.
Another strategy I'll give you to obtain free education, although will generally take longer, is to apply here http://www.aims.ac.za/en/programmes/aims-structured-masters-in-mathematical-sciences/aims-structured-masters-applications-august-intake. If you are taken, attend the programme. It's fully funded. After graduating in one year, you will have a chance to go for any science or engineering courses that interest you, again on full scholarship. I know three people who attended this programme and afterwards went for funded Master's/Phd in oil and gas related courses. One is now a senior engineer at Shell, after working for Total, the other is at Schlumberger UK and the third one is warming up to enter the oil industry.

Good luck

Thank you sir for sparing your time to respond to my question. I feel encouraged. I will expand my research as you advised .

Pls, this might sound dump but will switching from an EEE background to Oil and gas related courses for Msc affect my career or pose a red flag especially in the core engineering careers in the O&G sector? Or do I stick to my own field?
Thanks

xfire:
What do you mean by sea engineering? marine or subsea engineering?

Oga xfire, heavens will not forgive me if i fail to appreciate your assistance to us through this wonderful thread. May God bless you real good.
Pls, I m a recent graduate from an elect/elect background with a good 2.1 (+4 cgpa). I intend pursuing my masters next year while also searching for a job. My options for Msc are
Subsea engineering @ university of Aberdeen, Process system engineering @ cranfield university or advanced control systems @ manchester all in uk. Pls i need ur advice on most lucrative in the oil n gas industry. Do u know any good university that offers I&C engineering Msc? I m yet to make a choice.

Odjirigho:

Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

Controls systems in any reputable university
Advanced control systems at Manchester
Oil n gas Engr/Subsea Engineering in Aberdeen.

pls which ones are better in terms of:

1. employment prospects (opportunities) after masters
2. The reputation of the university and their quality/standard

Sagamite:
If you are doing anything with Oil and Gas or Petroleum there is no point wasting time going through any merits or demerits between the 2.
RGU wins hands down.
