This can't happen now. I think one of the reasons that recruitment lingered was cause of the Ebola outbreak

Alright thank you

NLNGOFFERLETTER:
Not at all, your placement will be largely based on your course of study, but there could be exceptions if you’ve got some experience in other areas.

Engineering
Legal
Business
Finance
Information Technology

I’ve got Biochemists in areas that aren’t related to science (due to their past experience), and I’ve got other biochemists in engineering and safety roles.

Just try coming in first, you’ll surely be placed in a suitable role where you’ll be able to contribute meaningfully.

So I studied computer science, a science course. But during the test, the option that relates most with my field of study is information technology (including software engineering). that's just how it was listed among the options.
I just want to know if this means I'm applying under engineering or if by God's grace I'm successful, I'll be an engineering GT.?

Pls kindly elaborate on this. Where is LBS?, and 6wks training for trainees?

airsaylongcome:
I can corroborate your statement that they’d start looking at job openings at Saudi Aramco, QatarGas and all the other big players in no time. And to everyone, that euphemism “staff of partners” means contractors in simple English. Treat those guys right abeg.

I actually heard that 22 GTs got sent to LBS. Is that now permanent? And training is 6 weeks now? Really?!

Why don't u see yourself progress to the next stage. You need to stay positive man

Corporatehitman:
I admire the optimism of those already preparing for the assessment centre and wish you all great success.

I have been engulfed in work these past few days and can say that I feel better and have mostly moved on.

NLNG offers a stable life, an escape from prevalent African poverty at a young age, and an easy path to a comfortable future. I wish I had adopted a better strategy going into the exams, but time does not go backwards.

I wish the NLNG path were viable for me, but since I do not see myself making it to the next stage, I encourage others not to become depressed when the results and success emails are sent.

There is no single path to a good life. Airsaylongcome is the perfect mentor for this entire process because, with him, you understand the perks and enormous benefits of passing through the rigours of recruitment and finally becoming a member of staff at NLNG, but you also understand that one can still build a great career elsewhere, and life does not end with an oil and gas job.

While we wait for the next stage, BRACE FOR IMPACT.

Airsay pls ur insight is needed. Is it certain that every graduate trainee gets inducted into the system as permanent staff? I mean like in Ur time, did everyone become a permanent staff after the trainee program cos I heard in some graduate trainee programs not everyone is retained by the company after the training. Also, what do u think about job security? Do they lay off staffs often and what's the years of service to the company B4 retirement. Thank you as I await ur response.

Deep down I can't wait for this recruitment process to be over. Make person know where him dey, and make all this day dream stop😆😆

Any Idea when we'll get the next email?

Thank you for this.
Just want to know if the presentation was done with power point and how long did u wait before invitation to AC, was it up to two months?

CaptEngr:
It was an interesting experience, even though I didn’t get an offer. Overall, it was a very valuable learning opportunity.

The numbers were quite high maybe between 600-750 candidates. They assessed 20 candidates per day, 5 days a week, for about two weeks in each location: Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt.

Each day, the 20 candidates were divided into two groups: A1–10 and B1–10. To maintain objectivity, your number became your identity for the day. So instead of introducing yourself by name, you’d say, “I’m A4,” for example. Group A and Group B had separate waiting rooms.

There were three exercises: a group exercise, a fact-finding exercise, and a presentation.

Group Exercise

We were split into smaller groups of five (e.g., A1–5, A6–10). Five invigilators were already seated around the room, observing. We were specifically instructed not to engage with them, and you wouldn’t know which assessor was evaluating you.
Each candidate received a document containing about six or seven case studies, each with different objectives. For the first 40 minutes, we were not allowed to communicate we had to analyse and take notes individually.
Afterwards, we had 20–30 minutes to discuss and agree on solutions, which we then wrote on a board.

Fact-Finding Exercise

This was the most interesting part. You’re given a task with almost no information. The assessors hold the detailed information, so you must ask precise and relevant questions within about 10 minutes to build your case.
My task was to choose between two NGOs for a donation. After gathering information, I had 5 minutes to structure my thoughts and present my recommendation.
Then came the twist, the assessors challenged your choice using information you may not have uncovered. At that point, you either stand your ground or switch sides. If you switch, they test your consistency by trying to push you back to your original decision.

I chose to stand my ground because I believed I had asked the most relevant questions and could defend my position confidently and I wasn’t really convinced with the points they brought up. Some candidates switched sides even twice 🤣

Presentation

After lunch, we had the presentation exercise. We were given a 10-page document about a business and asked to determine whether it could meet HQ’s targets. If yes, explain why; if not, explain why; and suggest additions or removals where necessary.

The key lesson here: every detail in the document matters. The follow-up questions were very specific sometimes even unexpectedly random.

It was a full day event from 7am to about 4pm but definitely worth the experience. TBH I was quite confident when I got home but it is what it is. After getting an email that I couldn’t get in “at that time” seeing the ad for this recruitment was the final nail. Anyways we move.

The window is up, test finished yesterday

Anonby1:
THE WINDOW IS ALMOST UP AND THEN THE WAITING WILL BEGIN

Omo I'm confused oh
What exactly does it show you?
Any messages so you know how to resolve it

Aloydei:
Bruhh... I'm currently in the streets trying different laptops.😭😭

Is it working now?

Aloydei:
Wahala ooo

Go and use another laptop.
Maybe the one you're using isn't compatible for the test. I think they wrote some laptop specifications for the test
[quote author=Aloydei post=138498424][/quote]

Nah I'm not saying I've given up. I'm just saying while I pray that God's mercies speak for me and I eventually become a graduate trainee at NLNG, It is better not to receive the mail for interview than to receive it and still not get the job. It can really be painful.

Anonby1:
At the cost of going a wee bit back on my words, i am kind of happy people like @Edith1900 found our humble insertions helpful for their test. @corporatehitman has gone awol, I guess he is taking his consulting job seriously now just like i am taking my own whatever it is i am doing job seriously now too . Happy to see that atleast some people are hopeful about their tests which i would love to be a part of but omoooo. Anywho there is life outside nlng too, i mean you are currently living it rn sooo don't beat yourself up about this whole thing better days ahead In sha Allah. @airsaylongcome fighting the current wave of genZ Gt applicants thank you for your continued guidance and insights.

@jobbernath saying he has given up in pidgin english

Lock down browser.
Delete the one in the system and download it again.
After download install, after installing go back to chrome and launch it. Your lockdown browser will open for you to begin your test

Aloydei:
Which browser did you people use?

At this point it's better not to be invited to the next stage of interview/accessment center than to be invited and receive an heartbreak letter 💔 of not being accepted as a GT cos person go really feel am if after interview e nor enter. So this stage will reduce the heartbreak 😂😂😂

Technical issues like?

Conversations20:
Please who has technical issues that’s unresolved

Airsay why did U stop working at NLNG? Read it from someone's post here. Were u not recruited as a permanent staff after the trainee program? or you resign willingly despite the fat salary and packagies ?

Really wish this second level was the interview/assessment stage, so we know the next email is acceptance/rejection and ofcourse medicals will come first if acceptance.
But while going through previous recruitment threads on nairaland, second level is usually assesment/interview I wonder what changed.

Is there a WhatsApp chat group ?

Can anyone pls give little insight on NLNG salary for graduate trainee and the overall training process?

Pls I'll like to know if NLNG employ science graduates like, chemistry, geophysics, computer science
