Lol... Where is it at?

ednut1: see me see wahala. i have a job. abeg no pity me. i applied for applying sake.

Besides, mist people here already have jobs, people are trying to get better career jobs, which I believe you do too!!

[quote author=chidaddy1198]Urs is just union Bank plc disappointment n some others first attempt if I share my own story with u, u will weep for me thou I'm nt the first person to exp sure series of job disappointment. But with God, determination & perseverance etc the unsuccessful will become successful in an up coming pursuit. Sincerely my success mail comes from God almighty despise my sinful nature. Year 2013 was terrible I wrote diamond bank test twice I was unsuccessful, wrote NB plc test I was successful but I was dropped @ d interview stage, I wrote again by the one organised by WFM. Dec after a long wait I was unsuccessful, I wrote FMN sales officer test twice sept 2013 n may 2014 I was unsuccessful, I wrote consolidated brewery hit sec I think dec24 still date no response, I attended series of interview in 2013 most of the job then I nv had passion for came up I rejected them so I nv showed up again when successful which I regreted in a way. Y this was happening sincerely I lost my faith n believe in God. thou, I motivated myself, I remained focused n determined to excel. I did more research, sharpened my skills, attended training AGDC, did a profession certification but did nt write dia exam as a result of my inability to pay d fee CILT. did another which I paid for on scholarship so d fee was discounted CNS. I was working without pay for exp sake before I decided to take up a contract job in d same office. Today as I speak to u, UACN will make it the forth in pipe line that I have an ongoing negotiation with for a role....

I can relate... 2013 was a bad year for me too!
Best to let Jesus take the wheel in your career!!

blesseenE: Getting regret mails is really painful, it hurts...especially after waiting so long..

But what you have to do now is CHEER UP! Try to feel POSITIVE and totally forget it.

I say this coz i have experienced this before! After two personality tests and an online assessment test plus more than a month waiting, Union Bank through Dragnet 'hitted me hard' (permit me to say it dis way) with a Regret mail. Ooooh, i felt so bad, i said to myself am dreaming, it can't be, i did well and expected to pass.

All in all i said to myself God knows best and Life goes on! Then to help me forget, i stopped following the Union Bank thread. Later, when the hurt subsided, i started revisiting the thread so as to knee

p abreast with the recruitment process incase of next time.

However, here i am today...i applied for the UAC Management Trainee program and got a SUCCESS TEXT MESSAGE & MAIL! Indeed Life goes on...Union Bank's Loss will be UAC's gain.

Your Success Mail is on the way ... just be cool

Same with me blesseene!
Union bank hitted me hard.... The thing pained me!!

Congrats!

bennydolls: Dear Sir/Ma,
Thank you for your interest in a career
with UAC and for taking the time to
complete your online assessment.
We regret to inform you that you were
unsuccessful, therefore you will not be
able to continue with the exercise.
We wish you success in your career.
Thank you.
Workforce Management Centre.

Benny dear... Don't let that get to u!
Be strong and continue to move on in your search.
We all get that kind of of email, I got it from keystone, Union, UBA (twice), main street, heritage banks. The one from Union broke my hrt cus I thought I aced the test considering it was the same questions from that of keystone.

Be strong and don't mind the test!

CharlyG1: Not exactly.. But i'm making plans to get a hint on what their interview questions look like.. I once read on an old thread that U would be interviewed individually, ur level of confidence will b tested blah blah blah.. And U will also b grouped during d interview stage, dat one wud be based on team work. I cant say if its still d same procedure dey're using.. My advice is- Just go to their website, research about dem and their products and google basic interview questions.

Ok thanks!
Of cause knowing about the organization's business and products is basic!

CharlyG1: Not true dear.. D next stage shld be interview stage, infact it is! U shld check previous UACN threads.. Once WORKFORCE sends U d date for interview, everything falls in d hands of UAC HR, WORKFORCE work go end on or b4 29/08/2014

It should be so Charly... I hv a feeling they want to recruit before the year ends, possibly before November ends!

Do u hv an idea on interview questions they ask?

kolgs: I givee God all the glory I received the text msg as well. I'm so grateful God . Even though I dnt belief I could be call for anything after the test, I just picked options anyhow the question was tough for me o . God is at work.

Yes bro... God is at work!

CharlyG1: Yes oh! My G.. Thank God, after all d hustle.. Lets join heads together to beat d next stage, I'll see U in UACN. All d best

Wherz Romoruyi? I believe he made it too

Definitely bro!

Where is Mayapretty?
Hope you made it too?

CharlyG1: AHH! Thank God at last! I just got a success text message from Workforce.. (Graduate specialist). Who else got this?

My guy we finally made it!

Thank you Jesus... You at work!

Julietta34: Ofcourse I'm occupied wit other thngs...its nt jst easy 2 keep my mind off dis one

I understand Julietta... Just be cool, you might even get a better one!

Timika: Henry I was going to ask you how it went cos i couldnt go.

It went well by God's grace!

The test was in two parts, test 1and test 2. Both test had 40 questions each making the two 80 questions.
Each test was for 25mins, making 50mins for the 80 questions.
Test 1 was quantitative and logical reasoning, while test 2 was verbal and business/mgt reasoning.

The tests was easy, just limited time especially for the first test which was quantitative and logical that had 40 questions which was more of quantitative to be answered in 25mins.

Julietta34: Dis waiting is reali frustrating... y is it taking so long? abeg mak dem no do lyk dragnet wey dey send their sori msg afta 2mnths o

Julietta, you shouldn't sound like that, be patient and keep busy with other things!

Timika: Yes. Sorry for the late response.

Were you in Owerri for the test today?
If so, how was the test?

Timika: same here. But i don't know nothing about their test format.

Were you invited for a test in Owerri?

My apologies for diverting from the subjec of this thread.

Please I will appreciate it if anyone who has an idea on the test format for FINCA microfinance bank can share it with me.
I am to write a test on Aug 9th Saturday, 2014 I. owerri. I did apply for an accounts assistant position based on 1year experience.

I do appreciate a quick response if anyone has an idea on this!

Lack of discipline in the military!

tjkadzyanju: am sorry o,but i have the right to declare my magna carta.

You can declare it in your personal space... This is a thread people use to get information.
No need to say such comments like people don't face the worse problems!

You just finished servicing barely a month ago, i did mine more than 4 years ago, and have gotten 2 masters degree after that.
Your job is keep believing, get any job you can do for now, and keep doing the right things required to get recruited for the dream and career job you desire!!

CHEERS!!!

ednut1: u wan collet eslap abi. wen some pple dy search for over a year

One year is even small, how abt over two years! Not after service, but after getting a masters!!!

CharlyG1: Nothing yet oh.. I dont think dey have even started sending out invites. I neva see their mail oh... Just hoping & waiting.

Charly, my nigger! You're everywhere!!

To a great extent,yes. But the truth is that our culture indirectly frowns on feminine independence. As a female brought up in Africa,especially Nigeria,most ladies grow up with the mentality that the male rules over her. She enters her marriage with this mentality. Even when she has issues in the home,her family will tell her that walking away is not an option. She should endure...*scoffs*.
Being dependent or not is not the main issue. I've heard of ladies who are well-to-do in the career sector but slaves in their homes. It is all about individuality. Some are strong minded,others are weak. Some are strong but get weakened by a ''weak'' male. By a weak male,i'm refering to a man who does the aforementioned.[/quote

Yeah Mimi, African factor affects alot of things in relationships and marriages here for women. But women are becoming knowledgeable now. The best way to succeed in a relationship or marriage is following the biblical standard. Cus one can never expect the best from a partner who doesn't have the fear and spirit. It's the spirit of God in us that controls us when the ugliness of the human nature tries to take over.
By the biblical standard, a marriage can only be dissolved when there's is infidelity, can the offended partner can't live with that. Hence the importance of careful consideration before marriage.

I fear relationships myself, how much more marriage.

Mimi, just try to take away bias from your mind in these matters. I might be wrong, but I kinda sensed it in the way you talk.

Nice meeting you anyway!

Emmaomotob: U think say Nigeria stupid like those white dudes to the extent of women gaining upper hand.Ladies f*ck with me and I will throw your bag and baggage out of my house.

Pls read with understanding!
Being a woman doesn't mean they shouldn't be ambitious and have goals.
I am of the school of thought where both sexes work together to make things work. Not like here in Nigeria where women are seen as lower, or overseas where the woman is intoxicated with power.

There can be a balance... and I have seen it happen both overseas and here in Nigeria.
One must not be affected by the culture of stereotypes or war of the sexes. Doing what's right is what I advocate for, respect women as being part of men, not under men! Pleas read the Bible from creation and understand God's plan if you do not understand this!

Thank you!!

delishpot: Make naija men catch you. All these donts for them? If say na women you dey tell dont do this, dont do that nairaland men for clap for you. And chant yes you right "bitxhes aint loyal" but this one wey you tell men what not to do, hian its not a normal ihian here o. Here in Naija, men dont have what they cant do o. Each man chooses what he cant do ie I cant marry, I cant bang a girl 3 months straight, I cant wash my clothes, I can never baby sit my kids when I have a wife, I cant ever help my wife with chores, I cant feed ma wife o, why tge hell did women ask for freedom of education? Ehn she don go school with me na, so she should work and feed the family, I cant bathe my kids o, I cant eat eba o, she must pound yam every day,etc etc.

Please you don't need to comment.

GentleMimi: Fool,did ur sisters attain menopause in their twenties? tell them i said ''It is well with their situation''. You've been duly noticed,now go and live ur miserable life.

Mimi, your name says gentle... You should have ignored him!
You hv got so much fire

GentleMimi: Unfortunately,some of us ladies reading this have such low self esteem and no sense of ''self'',and would allow a single man carry out the above and still smile in the name of love.. Some men are really good at using psychological manipulation,and the lady is so happy to have a husband that she will do any and everything.
Beautiful writeup too. But some ladieswill take that shiit just to keep a man. Talk of desperate.....

I call that weakness... Hence the need for every lady to strive for independence, they're desperate mostly cus of financial stability!

TheRainmaker1: I scored 95.6%, so I'm surprised I wasn't invited for interview.

I think the Keystone bank people were overawed by my intelligence...they obviously believe they can't pay me well enough.

#justsaying

Na so!
You sure it's not 9.56%?
Look well!

daywalker12911: Somebody tell dis useless Dragnet to stop disturbing my life.
I dey hide my score from my babe dem go dey send me sms again.
Bhet y?

Lol!

Maya2pretty: hahahahaha, no offense taken na, I know, I just need to train more on timing but where is d time to do that? I only have weekends and I spend 80% sleeping God will help us, atleast I'm learning

80% of your weekends sleeping? That's like almost the whole weekend!
The important thing is that you're busy with something, that takes the edge off u feeling cranky.
I have a believe, though it might seem bleak now, God has a peculiar job for those who trust in him, tests or no tests.

oweniwe: Maya2pretty

What did you score?

If you lie, i will know o.
Cos i get e-lie detector

And if you know you will call police?
Forget the test!
I was so ashamed when I saw my score!
Anyway, after the test I knew I wasn't gonna make it!!
