Beeam:
July 10 people are those from Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana I guess.

As in Expatriates nau, they all must have received their tfare alerts in Cedis and CFA too... Hahahaha

Kspicz:
I am one of the readers club members of this group my take is rather than depending on your intelligence, qualifications or connections I would prefer you take the humble pill and pray for grace.. I may come from one of the most competitive states in Nigeria but I have come to understand the race isn't for the swift or the battle for the strong but grace would make the difference. As a human resources practitioner, I have seen unqualified persons being favoured and highly qualified persons rejected. Let's not forget companies don't just hire you because you have knowledge but also for skills and most importantly attitude. As little as Attitude is, it has disqualified alot of qualified candidates having said this i implore many of us to take the humble pie because in a recruitment such as this, favour would separate people, so pray for God's favour and stop displaying your intelligence everyone who has made it this far is intelligence and should congrats his/herself as it's been a race of over 25 million person's. At the end of it all, God would qualify the unqualified. Thank you

Baba, I guess you quoted the wrong post.

Nice submission though.

ChikezieUche:
Maybe the alert is being paid in alphabetical order. My last name starts with U maybe that's why I haven't gotten yet. I know two friends who studied the same course and were interviewed a day after me (6th) who have gotten alerts. The last name of one these guys starts with A.

Last name, that's surname? nah! your premise is false.

MuhMubRaj:
I attended a unity secondary school in abj and we had students from across the 36 States including FCT. One Malo guy from Kebbi state came top every single term from JS1 to SS3. Different Hausa guys made sure they maintained last positions in all these terms. I am just saying ni fa

Sometimes people can be good in primary school, but become average in secondary school, some it's secondary school they'll be brilliant, but getting to higher institution, it'll be another ball game. All these things can be caused by different kinds of factor.

However, let's go back to APL issue, enough of brilliant region here and there.

NigelCundy:
Seriously, why didn't you ask the friend? Some people sef

He's from the "North" nau. Hahahahah


Na joke o.

bobowaja:
No relationship o..... They are just trying to give birth to twins by the help of spirits

Twins like APL and Upfront, and Spirits like Employment spirits... Hahahaha

pflourish:
Aside from being bitter, the truth is also always unfair in the eyes of those that prefer comforting lies. We all can continue to pretend that there were no candidates who scored higher in the CBT than those interviewed. Until we fall on the wrong side of the divide when APLs are issued.
Even if roadside mechanics and fishermen are going to be considered, shouldn't they go through the same application process?

Lol, don't mind her, it's because "fishermen" connotes a particular region/state, but if it's Zamfara or particular region that is mentioned, majority of us we say "Hell yeah, that's true" Hypocrisy, isn't it?

However, less than 25 days to APL, let the count down begins, regardless of any theory.

Swargu:
Oga oga oga, yes i really meant when you see them you won't believe anything they say.... Na you bring physical appearance oh, this table you are shaking don't involve me... You are reinterpreting my words to mean whatever you want and that's not my problem.

You wrote the word "SEE" not "MEET" in your OP

BenFlash:
We are still saying the same thing bro, calm down

What I'm saying is that, you can't categorically say that the number of EH interviewed on July 6 are more than other interview days. Except you have the statistics.

Swargu:
If you have been paid and you can logging to your profile today you are still in the race.
If you have not been paid and you can log into your profile you are still in the race.
The only constant thing which I know NNPC and this recruitment, if you are unsuccesful automatically you will be denied access to that career portal.. All this theories are from people whom naturally you are more sound than them, i mean if you get to see them physically, hmmm, you won't even waste your time believing anyone.. Just because we all have access to the internet.

I have not believed any theory here whether in favour on not in favour, it's all baseless assumptions, it all boils down to what you know and have observed.

Today is Saturday and I want to go out to have funplease nobody should start any theory again.

Stay prayerful, local man always prays without season.

Lol, physical look is now a measure of intelligence?? I bet you've not seen "Handsome and Beautiful" dullards before.

Some people can be funny.

BenFlash:
I also attest to your point on a lot of EH for July 6th cos it was a Saturday. Good observation

How many EH do you think they called for interview?
How many EH do you think was scheduled on July 6?
How many EH do you think was scheduled on the remaining days?

All these they've not paid applicants scheduled on a particular day, or particular state, or discipline doesn't follow. This is how some people were thinking during CBT shortlisting and Interview invite.

Nothing is certain at the moment, so we should all need to chill though

OwlaRowl:

Woke up to an "Application withdrawal mail" that read that Shell is yet to receive my assessment, and today happens to be the 5th day stipulated for my assessment, which i already did three days into the given timeframe.

I quickly did a "RE: Your Shell Application Mail"

I hope they resolve this.
Who else did his/her assessment within this week and has experienced this, bedsides @Osaaic66

cc: Easyp3000

Those handling this Shell test are just doing anyhow. After doing the test, with working style result sent to me, and even on my dashboard, it says application under review blah blah. They still keep sending me "I have saved application I'm yet to submit" and it'll expire soon. In my dashboard there's no saved application except my normal submitted application which is now under review. I've written them to rectify it though, but they still sent the message to me once more.

cocococo:
So the most plausible theory is what I will call the COCO’s theory. Like I said earlier on, it is still a spinoff of the Access Bank theory. One thing we must know, or have experienced, is that the NNPC recruitment staff is a very organised team. Some people receiving alerts, and others not receiving, is not a random occurrence. The Coco’s theory can be explained in the following way.

1. From the simple survey above, it is clear that only applicants of a particular date(s) have not received alerts. The NNPC recruitment team is not that disorganised to pay July 3rd or July 6th applicants, leaving out July 2nd applicants who did their interviews first. (Someone else please conduct the survey for July 1st applicants to see if they have, or have not, gotten alerts).
2. The CBT performance was used for the order in which the interviews were conducted. It is logical to say that the best performers from all geopolitical zones were invited for oral interviews first, before others. As such, those who performed best in the CBT were invited in the first two days—July 1st and July 2nd.
3. Priority slots were given to those interviewed on the 1st and 2nd of July. Those who did interviews later than these dates are simply ‘fillers’. In other words, if there was stillinterviews some slots left after the first two days of interviews, that is, if some applicants in the first two days were screened out due to some reasons like very poor interview performances or certificate discrepancies, people from subsequent days were used to fill in the spaces.
4. On the issue of alerts, everyone will get alerts definitely. But one thing we have learned from the recruitment process is that NNPC team is highly organized—the team even went as far as calling some people on phone to confirm their account details before sending their transport fare. There is a reason the team is withholding the money for July 2nd, and possibly July 1st applicants. The reason is that it is from these people that most appointment letters will be given to. So, these people will still probably travel to Abuja for medicals and other exercises. So their money will come to them in due time, in the later stages of the recruitment.
5. This is not part of the theory per se, but to console those who have gotten alerts. It is not the end of the world. You can still make it in life. You better start accepting the reality of things right now so that when the appointment letters start coming out, your hopes would not be up, and the reality would have already sunk in before then.

For us, the applicants who haven’t gotten alert yet, let us bounce in style.

Guy, the premise on which your "shioory" was built is wrong. Applicants were not scheduled based on performance on CBT, rather on region of test location regardless of state of origin. July 1st applicants are mostly from Abuja and its environment, I guess this is due to nearness to point of interview. July 2nd applicants are mostly people of Kaduna and its environment, July 3rd are mostly of Kwara, Kogi or North Central in general, July 4th are people of Ondo or so, 5th are mostly Ibadan and Lag, 6th are mostly Lag and some Ibadan, and so on....
Note: it's based on region where applicants wrote the test, not their state of origin.
And even on nairaland which is hardly up to 20% of the invited applicants, (that's roughly 2000) of which I even doubt. We've seen people whose locations are from all the region where the test was conducted being paid, including Abuja and Kaduna.

That a lot of July 6th are on Nairaland, may be because most people staying in Lagos that are applicants are on Nairaland, regardless of their actual state of origin.

However, the issue is, why the "MEMO" of "thank you" sent to NNPC staff after the payment of some applicants, and it seems the payments of the remaining applicants has stopped?

Note: All the NNPC staff or "connect" cannot know how the selected applicants will be done, in fact, aside the top Ogas of each subsidiary, and some selected few at NNPC Abuja towers, the remaining NNPC staff may not know jack.

So if your connect or "Sauce" is just ordinary Experience Hire in one subsidiary in Lagos, Kaduna, Delta, or PH, my brothers and sisters, they may just be giving us info based on what they think should be the right thing, or the normal practice.

CsRockefeller:
I am not surprised by this comment and ur fellow supporters who clicked the like button.

Because I wanted to diffuse the tense atmosphere and add a little humor it now means I don't need this job.

I pray some of you don't get heart attack if your name doesn't come out, this job may change everything in ones life but it doesn't define anyone, and guaranty any happy ending, at least not me, with or without NNPC I will have a fulfilled life.

At 22 I was already in d Bank, but I will always be remembered for things less money/ bank related.

King Solomon saw and had it all, at the end what did he say? You can have the APL if it makes u feel any better.

Obviously you don't know Sinama Pongolle, Abuda and the likes....

Just saying though.

mosgoon:
I explained why it would even be considered at all for Mck. It doesn't happen 99.99% of the time. Trust me.

But four questions interview ONLY will be enough to determine who is fit for the job? at least for most GTs, plus the fact that some were only asked about, Tell us about yourself, What do you know about NNPC, where do you fit in, in NNPC, and one safety question.
But what do I know? Las las, na Grace or whatever people might call it, matters most at this junction.

mosgoon:
haha.. You went to go and pick McKinsey as an example.. A company I worked in and have first hand experience of the recruitment process as well as relationship with one of their regional HRs. You culled that from Igotanoffer.com right?

Lee me put it straight to you. The scenario you posted in your culled text is EXTREMELY! rare.. And even non existent most of the time. When that comes is and why it even comes in at all is cos the PST is structured differently to many other job recruitment tests. Mcks PST has in it on the job style categorized questions.

Extremely rare doesn't rule it out.

mosgoon:
Wow. IMO, the theories get worse as time goes by.. Haha.. Past CBT being considered along with interview performance for a job position. Haha.. This is so ridiculously funny

Well, I don't think it's ridiculous.
This is copied from quora

"To understand how McKinsey uses the PST you first
need to understand why they bother having such a
test. McKinsey is in the business of solving hard
problems for companies. It is therefore essential that
they recruit the best possible talent every year. If they
failed to hire the smartest candidates for a few years
in a row, McKinsey would probably lose its edge
against Bain or BCG.
The company uses different tools to assess candidates:
CVs, cover letters, case interviews, personal
experience interviews, role plays, etc. The McKinsey
PST is one of these tools and is designed to assess
quantitative and reasoning skills in particular.
In most countries, McKinsey starts by screening
resumes and cover letters. Selected candidates are
then invited to take the McKinsey PST. IGotAnOffer
estimates that 33% of candidates succeed at the PST
in average. Those successful candidates who score
above the 70% passing score are then invited to
participate in 1st round interviews. In other words,
McKinsey mainly uses the problem solving test to
decide if they are going to give you an interview orcocas
not.
Unfortunately, most people think that McKinsey ONLY
uses its PST to decide whether you are invited toCase
interviews or not. This is NOT the case. If you make it
to the last round of interviews, McKinsey will also use
the PST to decide if it should make you an offer or not.
If the company hesitates between you and other
candidates who have done similarly well at their case
interviews, McKinsey will likely choose you if you
scored substantially higher at the PST than they did.
Conversely, if you scored just above the 70%+ passing
score, you will have to do extremely well during case
interviews for McKinsey to extend you an offer.
Candidates tend to prepare much more for case
interviews than they do for the Problem Solving Test.
It therefore seems that investing time to get a very
high score at the PST can be an efficient
differentiating strategy."

So if McKinsey can do it, NNPC may also do it.

Mitocyan:
Hmm nawa ooh, let's assume 27 candidates per state would be selected and a particular state has only one host community LGA where at least 4 candidates must be selected, so every other candidate not from that LGA are fighting for the 23 remaining slots in that state, while those from that LGA are fighting for 27 slots.

Most "host states" hardly have up to 30 local governments, so they may have the chance of having 4 slots in one host communities. However, just like higher institution admission, not every school staff get mouth, some Deans of faculty can't promise you some very competitive courses or courses outside their faculty. So while there's always merit list in a roughly 5000 jambites and DEs candidates, so there will be in a roughly 1500 GTs and EHs applicants of NNPC.

mosgoon:
lol, this is the most ridiculous theory so far on lacking basic logical consistency

You never can say never. Those interviewers MIGHT be generous with markings in the early days. However, since the interview seems to be scheduled according to region in which test was taken, which region populates July 2??

Separate questions @Oga Jarus and Xfire, will they consider CV submitted when evaluating candidates?
will the test mark still be considered along with interview mark, or just interview alone?

meelee123:
All those who had their interview on the 2nd should gather here for prayers. Heheh.

It's only those that have received tfare among them that'll need prayers according to that theory

datascience:
Let me subtly explain Jarus last paragraph.

It means he cannot ask the correlation between APL and TP because that would make him look like a fool.

Which means anybody who keeps formulating conspiracy theory or still believe in that theory may just be unlikely acting like a "......."

Or how best can you explain?

If APL and TP doesn't/can't/won't correlate at all. We won't even spend much time on it, it's a "theory" that can only be tested by either "time" as things unfold, or NNPC coming out and clarify it.

That they say they'll reimburse everyone doesn't mean they'll do it in a particular way. In most interviews, the interviewers generally tell each applicant, when they'll get back to them, say, in 2 weeks time, however, most of the time, they only contact the successful applicants and not all the interviewers.

But what do I know? Joobseekar guesses, HR disburses.

Jarus:
My "sauce" who works in NNPC (but not in HR) believes the recruitment will be concluded latest early next month. When I reminded him/her about approval by FCC, he/she said all that can be fasttracked.

Second info I got: 1000 GT and less than 500 EH will be hired.

So keep your fingers crossed. But pls don't crucify me if it doesn't turn out exactly accurate o. Things can change.

I didn't ask about correlation between TP and APL. God forbid. That kind of question can "fall one's rank". It will make me look like a fool.

Lol. For Oga Jarus to " acknowledge" it, this shows the " Access theory" can't be categorically dismissed, even if it's 0.000...1% of being true.

Anyway, are the people that received alert today that much?
what was their notification narration? NEFT?
another name of NNPC employee aside the other two known?
for each day of the interview, we only wrote account details on first come first serve basis i.e. on how early you're through with your interview. GT and EH wrote their name separately, why are they paying them together, but not some applicants?
could it be according to Interview number or Application ID during registration?
or perhaps, no "conspiracy" theory is a conspiracy theory on its own.

bobowaja:
Bros why u dey vex like this na? B like say u don receive alert.

Which state are you sir? I am just checking something here.

All these your "I'm just checking something". Baba, you dey input some data while plotting graph Tell us your result if you dey formulate hypothesis or theory o... Lol. Wetin joobseekar no go see for nairaland.

with the way some people are commenting and "counter- commenting" could it be that, a good number of nairalanders have received the tfare alert, but don't want to come out due to this conspiracy theories going around

ChasteGhuy:
Help your life ke.. wetin do your life? Lol

some people will surely come back to nairaland and sell that "materials" or on another platform
