Touching

Hmmn, despite being the oldest, celebrating 2nd place 18 years after.

GeniusOla:
Bro u even still accept the apology

Advising someone on quicker and easier way to get the info he needed and he thinks he's got sub. I just leave am.

GospelEAPiano:
Fada, you know I asked if anyone knew, your silence would have meant you didn't know, and who told you I don't know about the career section on their website. I needed more, so I asked.
Sir jarus you dey fall my hand

My apologies.

GospelEAPiano:
Good day house, please does anyone know about NAHCO package for graduate trainees? And also likely interview questions, anything at all will do. Thanks

Go to careers or jobs section of Nairaland
Create a topic with the title "NAHCO package for graduate trainees"
You are sure of getting someone to anonymously volunteer the info.

simplebb:
I posted here days ago on this same subject.

Why would I expend/be expending so much energy on a job I would 99.9% or 100% reject and even be everywhere on the job thread bothering myself with issues as regards the recruitment.

If you know you won't 100% take up a job, then you won't even be here at all, or would check the thread once in a bluemoon just to know what's going on with those that are interested in it, definitely as a low key follower.

This doesn't conform to logic.

But then, what do I know

This thread lost its sanity after the interview with so many unrelated and unneeded information, baseless theories here and there...

The arrival of APL would really help in restoring it.

Probably need to clarify my own o. I have always used "may not" or "likely not" in my posts on this subject before someone sees me at Block D and asks wetin you dey do here. lol

I have analysed the cases for and against in several posts here so no need to rehash. Decision if given the offer, will depend on which is stronger at that point in time.

MLS aint premiership sir

At 34 three years ago, he scored 17 goals in 28 EPL games.

Any sauce brewing this morning

All the "sauces" have been quiet jare.

"Latest September" remains the latest info.

souljar:
@bolded, as simple as that.
Wikipedia, though not very reliable, even gave pop. figures for age brackets 0-4, 5-9, all the way up to 85+... you could estimate ~60m people within the ages 20 - 50, and the illiteracy rate in Nigeria pushes that figure way down to 36m, then start adding all the other parameters... Ayam tired. This explanation no even shift September 9th closer

Exactly, if there are 36m literate people (although my own estimate, stretching it to 65 years, puts it at 52m) within the age bracket 20-50 in Nigeria, how can someone say 26m applied to NNPC?

Sulleymanimam:
@jarus, The population of Nigeria was 180million as at 2006. 180 million was just a figure generated by National population Commission. I can categorically tell you that not upto 60% of Nigerians were counted during the 2006 census, but lets even say it is correct. From 2006 till date, you know how many ppl dem don born for this country? Our population now is way above 250 million.
MPO sha

Nah, the population of Nigeria in 2006 was 140m.

Since then there has not been any census, it is just projection (which is a normal practice everywhere - no country does census every year, what you have is annual growth rate which statistics bodies use to project).

Although Nigeria's population is officially 200m in 2019, it does not in any way materially alter the conclusions from my analysis.

You said there were people that were not counted in 2006, that's true, but there were non-existent people that were "counted" too. Sub-national governments in Nigeria collude with NPC officials to rig census to favour them in allocation and political clout. Each LG or state strives to report high figures for political reasons. So for every 1 that was not counted, there were 5 fictitious people that were added before the papers get to NPC office. At the end of the day, almost every state colluded with census officials to add to their numbers - leading to an inflated national aggregate.

krypton:
Nice analysis Jarus, though my submission to mosgoon earlier shows that the number of applicants can't be less than 400,000 or even 800,000 as mentioned in some posts.

1m is even a believable figure. I suspect that applicant's number tells it. I saw a 600k number for GT

mosgoon:
haha. honestly, i don't even know again, sometimes i would want to type and then think deep unnecessarily because of past events. But i included that to give context as Management Consulting companies eat Estimations for food. I honestly don't care anymore what anyone thinks. I still remain on this thread cos it's a very fun thread and I want to see how events unfold

Feel free to say whatever you want to say. People will always accuse you of one thing or the other. It comes with social media participation. You can't stop it. I also get that from time to time, even on this thread, but I have learnt to ignore.

Some people will begin to say Adewunmi is no longer a presidential material

mosgoon:
Spot on! Now, this is closer to market sizing estimation..professionally. We do it A LOT during my time at McK for big name clients and critical situations so once i saw that, i knew right away it was totally impossible

You want your frenemies here to come for your head again.

#LOL

I like you sha.

Twhizzy2:
Statistically, as at Q3, 2018, number of persons in the labour force is 90.5m.
Unemployed (working less than 20hours a week) is 20.9m
Underemployed is 18.21m
Employed is 51.3m

From the data above, it's statistically possible.

Considering the fact that the "employed" also applied.

NB: I'm not confirming that 25.6 applied to NNPC.

25.6m people applying for NNPC jobs is statistically impossible.

Nigeria has a population of 180m. 25.6m means 1 out of every 7 Nigerians applied.

I doubt 3 people in my family of 100 applied. My mum and sisters did not apply. My wife and children did not apply. All carpenters and mechanics in my area did not apply.

So where is the 1 out of every 7 coming from?

Some stats are common sense. They cannot be true.

Nigeria has a population of 180m.
44% are 0-14 years of age, 53% between 15-64 years, and 2.7% above 65 years.
That means the number of adults of working age is 53% ie 95.4m. The literacy rate in Nigeria is 60%, that means only 57m are able to read and write from the adult population (an illiterate cannot apply to NNPC).

Now, that adult population includes people between 15-20 years, who could not have applied for NNPC. Let's say those are 5m. We have 52m left.

Now, are you saying 25m out of 52m (1 out of every 2 educated adult Nigerians) applied for NNPC job?

We have not even taken out those who are still in the universities, Polytechnics and COEs but are above 20 years.

It is just statistically impossible.

JB01:
@Jarus @mosgoon

MSc in view was stated in my CV. I wonder if that would affect my chances.

I think at this stage, it is only the performance in interview that matters.

tyakson99:
Well, bro, I am not arguing the 26 million figure with you. Just trying to juxtapose the figure with the recent press release of NYSC wherein they said over 4 million Nigerians have taking part in the scheme so far and giving the fact that requirement for application was stringent. But of course I knew even people who weren't qualified applied i.e some guys with 3rd and 2nd class lower and even HND without masters, also remember for G.T you must have graduated from 2014 upwards. But statically it is possible given our huge population and unemployment rate although I doubt it true.
Alas it doesn't matter at stage, me and you are already here and I pray we all get in.
Cheers

It is statistically impossible except my grandmother, my mechanic and my gateman also applied.

Gemini13:
Oga Jarus and my fellow hopefuls, Please I need an advice.
I just got admission for masters in Unibuja and I'm to start next month. If I get NNPC's offer and I'm posted to Abuja, will it be possible to run the two at same time. Seeing that the masters is full time.
I will be reading your advice.

It should be possible.

kevwemanuel:
This is the page I read. It says "...25.6m PASSED THROUGH THE PORTAL..." before it was officially closed.
But English is not our native language so maybe I don't understand.

She's right. The SUN page clearly states that 25.6m APPLICATIONS passed through the portal (i.e. were received by NNPC)

SUN must have relied on fake news.


25.6m applications is like saying 1 out of every 7 Nigerians applied. That's statistically impossible.

They probably meant number of clicks on the site during the application window.

larride:
Thanks boss. It seems they are keeping everything on wraps.

I also suspect HR has warned people in charge not to divulge information even to their colleagues.

Zlatan played a key role in their Europa trophy just few years ago.


I ruled him out after that injury in Man U but bouncing back in his career to score 46 goals in 49 MLS games is no mean feat for a 37-year-old.

larride:
Of course, my post was to help you clarify your assumptions.

The new GMD is not brought from outside the corporation, he’s already in the system, the knew when the recruitment started and I’m might be on the board sef. Change in management hierarchy is not the reason why the offer letter hasn’t been sent out yet.

There’s no point giving ourselves headache, let’s just pray to get the offer letter when it comes.


@ Oga Jarus, any new updates from any of your sources?

None. Everyone has been quiet.

joobseekar:
That's the problem, one 1st class will not want to think, he's less "deserving" of APL than other 1st class not to talk of "bloody" 2:1(s), but the truth is, i know a 1st class who is a course mate, and we're from the same state, not the same LG though, yet, he didn't pass through CBT stage.

I've said this before, and i'll keep saying it, even if we all had "great interviews" NNPC can't employ us all, and in the word of Oga Jarus: "nobody is above regret mail"

Actually, grade no longer matters at this stage.

Grade only matters during shortlisting for test.

Cybersecfreak:
It not about your degree. I had first class too. Telecommunication Science. I am the overall best for my department. I was the university scholar from 100-400l. I was awarded scholar of the year for 2017 set. I collected facility award also n everything was included in the award section of my CV. Plus I received tfare since last July 16th sef. So it God grace baba not your class of degree or anything. Las Las everything on God. We go all dey alright.


Peace
Local man is greeting

Okay make all of us dey declare now.

na first class me too get o

Gozzy088:
Pls I need ur honest opinion on this interview question of mine. How does it sound to ask an interview panel about the career prospects of the Organization. Thanks

It is absolutely in order.

easzypeaszy:
Resume 7:10AM, write your name in the attendance book, do your personal 5MIN prayers and move to the assembly ground.

2. After the assemble activities, go get your lesson plan and notes from head teachers and lesson starts 8:00AM.

3. Have like 1HR free period before the 10:00AM long break, so you add it up and mark like 100notes or start writing new lesson plans and notes meanwhile your KUNU and bonce is very close to your reach while your pupils are on their fried rice and malt (that one they pain me small)

4. Lesson continue from 10:30AM to 12:00PM before the short break, by then KUNU have started working but the head teacher must not see you dowsing. 12:15PM work continues either in class teaching or still marking notes and by then KUNU has finally ignited the frustration in you so please everyone should just respect themselves.

5. Proprietor summoned you to the office for flogging Benjamin last Friday because the father is a Medical doctor and so Oga apologize to the pikin and in your mind you're like THUNDER.....

GOD BLESS ALL OUR TEACHERS

This is funny, especially the kunnu part.

ChasteGhuy:
lol... Even oga jarus is attached to the outcome even though he might end up not taking the offer

No doubt about the outcome being important to me. The only "but" about the job for me is the pay for the level I'm qualified for. Every other thing, especially NOC experience which is coveted in the international job market, favours NNPC.

NigelCundy:
The question can be rephrased by saying "Asides from the general description of this role, what are the day to day activities expected of me" or "what does an average day on the job look like"?

I say this with all due respect: Your second paragraph emphasizes the point I made about many panels not being trained to conduct interviews because they think "it is just an interview".

With my knowledge of the HR industry both home and abroad, I can tell you that a candidate who asks any of the questions I posted above shows a zeal towards the job rather than someone who just wants to get a job, and this holds for both EH and GT positions. This is simply because organizational environnements differ based on different factors. So, there may be some untold activities that an individual ought to perform daily on the job. Eg Meeting with the COO, or checking in with your supervisor.

Dear All, I will once again reiterate my first point that it is not out of place to ask about some of the day to day activities you are expected to perform in a role. Whether you are changing industry or coming in as a graduate.

Your rephrased questions send a different message, which is positive. Not directly asking what the job entails, which is what some of us think is not right.
