BenFlash: I disagree with this mindset, yes some courses are more technical than the other but for the fact that you are a first class graduate in a STEM course does not guarantee first class in a non-STEM course. Every field has its peculiarity. A STEM first class graduate may not have the memory to cram so much history or may simply not be interested in how Usman Dan Fodio conquered the north etc.
My 2 kobo though.
I am an Engineer, and i respect such disciplines a lot! These disciplines are analytical in their own right, but mehn it requires reading far and wide! Hence cramming cannot be ruled out.
Cramming gives me headache abeg. Understanding physical phenomena from first principles gives me joy
In my opinion( and in consequence of my capability), STEM courses are easier to study. But heck, it is just like having a fish, a monkey, an elephant and a lion and saying that the one who climbs a tree the fastest is to be regarded as the best of them all....
mosgoon: most companies don't care about CGPA exact figures, just class . Overall best.. Perhaps. Some care only for your transcripts to evaluate strong areas only. I finished with a 4.98 and I have never put it on my CV for job applications. I only include it on my academic CV which is strictly for School applications
It is one thing to be academically intelligent. It is another to be emotionally intelligent.
Of all the GT hopefuls posting on this thread, i dare say you are one of the very few that possess the two.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) refers to the process by which the key underlying cause of an unwanted event (accident, incident) is identified, this is quite different from the immediate cause. RCA have the potential to prevent recurrence of an hazard as it tackles the hazard at its main source. This is indeed the main reason for implementing a Root Cause Analysis to look beyond the surface cause (can be management approach to overall safety in the organization, lack of quality HSE education, no/poor enforcement of HSE policies, workplace conditions not good enough etc.) Thus addressing the recommended actions from the RCA will help to eliminate recurrence of the specific failure and also other failures which had a common root as the one that occurred.
In practice, at times it is impossible to identify with 100 percent certainty, a single root cause of an event. In such circumstances, it is prudent to work with the most likely causes and mitigate the risk of recurrence by addressing all of the potential causes of the event.
Root cause Analysis would help implementation of HSE as it serves as a proactive, preventive and effective means to address an hazard from occurring again. Simply put, one has an idea of the root cause of an hazard and can put in place corrective plans to forestall such from future occurrences.
Thanks a lot for your response.
This question was put forward to me by the Chief panelist.
I sensed that it was a situational question, so i identified an incident (Lifting a prefabrication for a major project , in which there was a pad-eye failure:a near miss) which required an investigative team (myself included). The inquiry then investigated the incident by identifying all possible causes that would have lead to that event , in which these possible causes were eliminated one by one (due to the evidence available) until the 'root cause' of the padeye failure was identified: Improper/nonexistent NDT/NDE prior to the lifting operation. I also went further to say that what lead to it not being a fatality or a serious loss was due to the redundancy built into the lifting design (which was recommended by the investigative team in the event this happens again in the future) and the need to ensure that proper NDT was to be perforemed for future lifts ..
Of course this never happened, but men, i simply had to improvise in that split second....I have since been worried about this answer. How do you see it?
simplebb: The right answer should be Physical, Chemical, Biological and Ergonomic Hazards. That's the four types of workplace hazards.... You only made mention of examples under this types.
It can equally be 5 if one factor Psychological hazard into it.
elviszzz: Hi gurus I have a 2005 bmw 330xi coja four wheel drive with what looks like k-legs at the front tyres. From the front view of my car u would notice the legs are not straight but rather bent. What could be the cause and how do I fix this issue. Will appreciate your contributions.
You have excessive negative camber.
Most likely is that you have badly worn lower arm bushing( or camber bushing). By now you should be having clunking suspension?
brokewaist: When you take into consideration that they are all EH applying for similar position, iniovo, you gat agree say by the time you interpolate for other positions and then GT! If that no be crowd, I no know wetin to talk.
Meanwhile to see fellow Izon na ultimate search things.
Themaths: I had my interview on the 3rd, Mechanical Engineering. The interview went well, was asked questions from my CV, situational questions and then a question on safety.
Had my CBT in Benin, met at least 6 other people from Delta/Warri who also had their CBTs in various centres in Benin. None of us has seen any alert.
Please, is there anyone who interviewed on the 3rd and did their CBT in Benin seen alert? I need the money abeg.
nevergiveup1: APL will most likely happen before Aug. 13, considering that Aug 12 -13 will be a public holiday for Sallah/Eid-Kabir. So it's either first week of August (4th - 9th Aug), or after the public holiday from 19th August. I didn't comment after my interview, but my experience is such that the Panel tend to ask difficult questions if you have very high score (>=90%) in your CBT, and you are an EH. The lady that ushered me in knew my CBT Score, and they already discussed it before the USher-in to face Panel. So, on that note, CBT score may likely be aggregated with your interview score (confidence, communication, precision in answering, dressing, ect). It was the easiest interview I have had in my career life. Okay ummm, best luck to everyone who are expecting. For me, I have had 2 other interviews with International Oil/Gas/Energy governance sectors after my NNPC interview, and it looks like I will not take NNPC offer even though I am highly likely to make it as an EH (SS1 to be precise). Sorry if I don't respond to questions that may follow this. I wish you all the very best.
I have been looking out for you. Would like to connect with you sometime...
vyke2008: Bros, no one can vividly say or predict accurately how the payments are made.
I did my interview on the 8th of July, EH Mech Main, in my panel, we were all EH from different engineering disciplines... I had a chat with at least 6 of them. Civil, Electrical, Petroleum, Materials,...... I even remembered some guys who studied business and an accountant all interviewed by the same panel... How do you explain this? During my interview, the chief panelist asked me a question on structural analysis... but one of them quickly cut in and said 'the question is for civil, before he started bombarding me questions on mechanical seals....''
With my experience, I can tell you, no one can propagate a definite theory as to how the interviews were conducted or how the TF reimbursements are done.
I have been praying.... and will continue praying even after I receive my APL... God is faithful. God is merciful. God is grace!!!
NB. No alerts yet, from PH
lol. Mechanical seals. I was asked the same question. to be honest i did not prepare for such questions but heck! I had to improvise , left right and center....
another was my experience in the relevance of root cause analysis with respect to HSE...
i was also interviewd on the 8th.(EH Mechanical Engineering)
I want some of you who are feeling desperate about this NNPC recruitment and full of anxiety to visit the thread above. It was started on the 11th of September 2011 after NNPC interviews like this and it currently has 1594 pages. Many theories were postulated including information from key management sources at the top of NNPC. Wednesday theories included that the NNPC board/management meet those days. Madam Minister of Petroleum said this, presidency said that, FCC said another. They had an equivalent of the "Jaruses" and "Mosgoons" in the person of "Jesus Army" and co. To be fair to 'Jarus' and 'Mosgoon', they are very humble compared to the equivalent in the shared thread. Soon courier services started calling people to drop their appointment letters - and the house divided. You guys are dividing yourselves too early. Wait for the letters to start dropping - everyone won't be employed by NNPC, and it's not a curse or being mean when someone say that. "Jesus Army" and some other key members (including the author of the thread) didn't get the letter. Then another theory sprang up - there is going to be a second batch. Some who had received their letters mocked them and advised they should move on with their lives. They cursed, bickered, etc. At a point they organised days of prayers for the second batch letters to be released. They contributed money to seek the services of media houses to force NNPC to make an announcement on the status of the recruitment riding on FOI act. After some months another set of letters, maybe few were released. This was mainly for NNPC Retail Ltd. Then hope rose up again for them to the high heavens. Jesus Army was once again seen as a true prophet. I want to tell you that people were practically waking up to visit that thread, share dreams of hope, make prophetic proclamations on their letters for 5 years and above. At a point 'Jesus Army' got a good job in an oil and gas firm and moved on, but not without encouraging the 'hopefuls' not to become weak in faith. Some others changed jobs, got like two or more promotions, yet some guys were still believing in 'second batch'. Why am I saying all these? You need to encourage yourself that it's 50:50 on you getting this job. I know the country is hard and a job with NNPC will definitely make a lot of difference. If you really really have faith, in God and in yourself, you will believe that you can do well or better with or without NNPC job. I know some people who passed through that desperate, traumatic experience of the thread above, but who picked themselves up and rose again. Some of them were practically begged by friends/family to apply, attend CBT test, or travel to Abuja for the interview. They are not sure of taking up the job if given. You too can work yourself up to that level of comfort in this Nigeria. God bless you all.
God bless you sir!
At this point, there is only a 50:50 chance on this recruitment...
No need to be paranoid....
Heck, some people will not even accept the offer if/when given to them! Some people may get far better offers if they dont get this one. So dont kill your self...
Meanwhile , Timaya has something to tell me this morning :
Edicoco: I was planning to write nse exams, october diet. But since this nnpc recruitment came up, i put everything on hold. I cant even write any project report or even concentrate on anything. The executives in my zone are saying its already getting late to register online. Abeg make them park well o, na APL be my aim now. God please let your grace, mercy and favour be our portion. Our names must be there!
