Dear applicant,

We are pleased to inform you that...


Just testing how to give hypertension

Madam Toyin uses "Dear Candidate...".

Interview when we don't know our fate yet, it's even bad for those of us with surnames A, I really hope they start from Z this time around....Times when you surname becomes a disadvantage.....

This reminds me of secondary school days. The first ten people on the register suffered. They were called upon to do any work assigned to our class then. One girl said she wouldn't marry a man whose surname starts from A so that her children don't go through the same .

agroronnie:
hi guys, i am gaap, i just got a success mail.

Success mail too.

Trapqueeen:
Thanks gurrl... but you didn't have to (before they transfer their aggression on you)

You know ...

mayoor15:
Sometimes it's nice when you mind your business... Have a great day

OK sir.

...but you still need that chill pill .

mayoor15:
Can't just laugh at all this morning, technology has advanced to the point that I can speak all languages all thanks to some applications, guys into fiverr will tell you better, you talk about one mindset and I laugh, this is a public forum and we have people of all Nigerian languages here, if all of us had decided to speak in our languages am sure you will also miss many vital information, there are times you exercise discretion in doing somethings, bravo you can speak French and other languages, we fucking don't care, it's your problem, if you wanna speak it with someone you do it privately not on this thread, our official language remains English so please communicate in English, I hope when you get to your work place, speak foreign languages while others are speaking English.

Okay, I have to chook mouth.

First, they didn't say anything that concerns PwC recruitment (except that they hoped they would work together); so, scrap out the "vital information" part. It probably felt nice (to her) to see someone who writes French.

Second, the lady can actually write French. Her point was that not everyone you see writing French copied from Google Translate or whatever app. Some non-native speakers who didn't study French can write or speak French.

Third, you need a chill pill.

LordOO1:
Lol! Thing is I learnt a bit of French back in secondary school, but after a decade of disuse it now takes a good ton of effort to phrase simple sentences. See my predicament? And yes, I got a bit of help

Use Duolingo app. You can download from your Store.

At a point, I started doing mini mini mani mo. You see the three options that are most like you, and you're there staring at the screen wondering which one you're to pick. One of my lecturers told me that during exams, the first answer that comes to your head is most likely to be correct. In this case, it's most likely to reflect you. No one really knows what exactly they are looking for. One idea has up to ten sentences twisted differently.

LordOO1:
Merci ma cherie, et tu aussi. Parlez vous la francais bien? Je veux une instructeur!

Are you trying to be humble? If you wrote that without help, you definitely don't need a tutor .

The TGIF thing... There are some people that even if the work is not exactly stressful, they would still look forward to TurnUp and Groove. They just want to hang out with friends and dance to music with blaring sounds (edunho looks like someone in this category).

For others, their TurnUp is sleeping or watching movies (at home or cinemas) whether work is stressful or not.

Thayvbe and agroronnie, I've not received any mail too. I'm a GAAP candidate.

Good morning. On the SHL direct website, which of the practice tests is the OPQ?

Jazmiynne:
Patience is a virtue that introduces us to our inner self - Me, 2017


Guys the tension is REAL everywhere, I can't count how many times I've refreshed both my email and this page.

But how about we make it more pleasure than pressure?

Sahara has connected us, so before mails come rolling in how about we make the thread lively?
Gist, have fun, debate constructively on subjects of our choice, talk about #KeepTheChangeBae , ginja abt Lagos traffic

Infact if we get good at it, we'd be having so much fun, we won't notice the passing time

What ya say?

Welcome to The Wait

Hello. I support the motion that we should make the wait more bearable by discussing .

About the education system, to me, one's grades principally shows how disciplined an individual is. It isn't exactly a true test of intelligence. I just wish that Nigeria could be a more open society where those who are more talented in the arts or technicals can attend such schools meant for such purposes, without being looked down upon.

The #KeepTheChangeBae... I totally support the girl not because she's a female but because she sent the dragging back to him . How could he be that petty? When I first read his rant, I really thought it was some big dough spent. Only to discover that it wasn't much. Now, he has succeeded in making people drag Ibadan on Twitter. Even people living in worse places joined in the banter. I'm not from Ibadan but I schooled there; so, I have a soft spot for the place.

The guy that asked for our topics, mine was "Conservation is survival". I didn't get to present, so don't ask what I said.

I was also asked to send a profile picture for the #NigeriaStartsWithMe essay.

Hail ednut1, king of parables!

OversightTM:
my question is with respect to the pwc work style preference ...you sure about your answer?

I'm not 100% sure.

A question please: do they screen people out at this stage?

OversightTM:
which does pwc want more; empathy, assertiveness or analytical?

In my opinion, at this stage, analytical...

DILz:
abeg the mail...any idea if na only for Advisory?

No, it is not only for Advisory.

Success mail. I actually screamed a little in the bus I was in. People were now asking if it was alert.

Sometimes, I wonder how Nairaland was overtaken by bad belle people. You people (the bad belles) cannot be happy for someone. Was the man blind when he was marrying her? He knows what he saw in the woman, and decided to marry her. They are having a vacation that most couples only dream of (due to constraints of time, money or affection), and the only thing you can see is that the woman is older.

She has a grownup son, that is even older than some of you. How many people's mothers look this nice at her age? She is mommy la hotte.

PS: If you want to attack me, make sure you have a solid argument.

You people would just be speaking in parables.
**strolling away**

Johnholt2217:
Sorry i don't understand what you said the guy should do. Are u talking about the difference in salary when one is qualified and not qualified or something else.

It's not as if I'm petty oh but the person he was referring to, which is me, is a female.

Anonylander:
LaRochelle your moniker be sounding like the French word for some hot female roach,, cockroach... **Runsaway

Errm, have you ever received e-beating ?

ednut1:
private and confidential

Lol, okay. I wasn't expecting an answer, tbh .

ednut1:
yeah slightly higher. take 2 figures from the time of ur post and add k to it, its around dat figure

I didn't even realise before, that the time I posted was the same both on the hour and minute sides.
Another question: how much is now the normal salary?

If someone is qualified (as in passed the final stage of ICAN or ACCA), it means the company would not have to train the person, right? Would the person's salary be higher than others'?

Sambest2:
Just one: Interview

If successful, then Offer letter and medical.

Thank you.

Please, I have a question. After the OPQ, what are the stages remaining?

TheBatman:
Nigga no play rough play, make I no table your matter for village. Post the success mail make we see.

Seconded. I'd just take his name to the shrine.

Hello guys. Good evening.

It's not that GAAP candidates are locking up. Here's the situation: every one of us would be judged on the SAME test. We all have the same questions. Do you think it makes sense that we come here and download what was asked?

The interview proper: each candidate is supposed to pick a paper and present on it (what I heard). However, mine didn't go that way. I picked a paper quite alright but I didn't present. My interview was informal. Was I supposed to say (yesterday) that everyone would pick a paper and present when I wasn't even sure if that was what everyone did?

GAAP structure is quite different from GMTP. Even GMTP candidates didn't expressly state what they were asked in their interviews on this thread.

Thavybe:
Were you for 8am or 11:30am?

7:30am.

There was a test and an interview. The questions are the same for all candidates, hence, I really can't say them out. Just know you would need a calculator and a pen. The test is pen and paper.
