One photocopy per document, but just go with two to cover any eventuality. Success..

Thanks.

double00d:
Go early so you can practice abit and get used to the environment. If you're cold intolerant like me, dress to cover. The organizers were very nice and eager to help, so you'll settle in fine, no tension. Go with all the required documents, photocopies and TWO passports, and dont forget to print out your cv, someone did, the person was just graced that it wasnt the person's time yet.
For the verbal; all the passages where new and abit more complex than the online test, but its still possible to attempt all. Stay calm while reading through and making your selection, don't rush through, it's better to be sure of some and do "tum bo" for the rest, than to be unsure of them all.
For numerical; To me, each question required even more time to solve than for the online test, but it was still the same underlying principles, so practice to improve your speed.
For the essay/article/letter; take the first few minutes to gather your thoughts and bring out points on the topic, then expand on your points. Make sure your writing is legible and your punctuation and word usage are tiptop. Dont interchange "their" for "there", "where" for "were", etc. as we commonly see in nairaland comments
Success to everyone.

How many photocopies per document?

SacrodAYAN:
All the best dear

Thank you .

Are GAAP still being interviewed? I believe emails for GMTP & GAAP should flow in this week, I heard those sahara guys are usually fast.

GAAP is the accounting one. GAP is the analyst one. You are referring to the latter. I'm referring to the former.

SacrodAYAN:
Hyyy.......its been silent here.......how we duin??ows d wait for the result??

GAAP candidates are waiting patiently for our interview days .

TheBatman:
bros no over think this issue, the answer is Magazine. Infact you go use the Magazine(s) for the interview. I feel GAAP applicants are having it easy, no unnecessary riddle, nothing unconventional.

@ GAAP applicants are having it easy. GMTP is the highlight of Sahara Graduate Recruitment. They only tweet about GMTP, never GAAP or GAP. GAAP revolves around accounting, audit and tax. GMTP is way broader.

Thavybe:
Wait o, has any GAAP candidate done interview yet? can we safely assume that GAAP candidates didn't get a riddle? GAAP candidates please talk o, make e no be only me waka come.

GAAP candidates didn't receive the riddles. GAAP candidates' interviews should start on Monday.

shogat:
GAP guys not getting all these mails o..am I the only one?

The riddles are for management talent candidates.

toyinflo:
I think it's just more clues to solving the same riddle they sent earlier.
Now it seems the answer is MAGAZINE (it's 8 letters and showcases glamor etc). I stand to be corrected.

If it really is magazine, you people should buy me a bottle of red wine. I was the first person to mention it on this thread .

Someone should send the riddle to the thread.

All 41 reporting standards + 16 new reporting standards..... highest they may ask you to explain the ones you are familiar with, in this case am very familiar with a handful. I wont be specifically for petroleum industry. I think it will involve the concepts and principles and tax questions and audit.... and a case study in accounting. All the same... preparation begats confidence

Actually, 28 IASs...they are not up to 41 as some have been scrapped/replaced.

Tee2014:
Well to the folks accusing me of not being a team player, this is for all of you. As tasking as it it is, i hope it helps us all in our job search.

Its a MAGNETIC TAPE, It is Thin and colorful(When exposed to light - a wide spectra of colors) What most of you used Kerosene to clean back in the days.

It held the thoughts of yesterday and today at that time, Magnetic tape revolutionized broadcast and recording.

It was used to playback video and audio(Multi Purpose) - It is Of pictures, of speeches, of words with lasting laughter

It was a key technology in early computer development, allowing unparalleled amounts of data to be mechanically created, stored for long periods, and to be rapidly accessed -That stays the same time and time again.

You can't destroy the data on it by just waving your hand over it, because of the fact that the magnetic side of most tapes is made of an oxide of iron, it only gets damaged by deterioration caused by hydrolysis of the binder of the tape - The wave of hand never destroying.

Lastly it can be crinkled(without damaging the content), it is crisp and it is clear.

Now the older version of the MAGNETIC TAPE after analyzing plenty history books are "GRAMOPHONE RECORDS" Which is also known as "Vinyl Records"

So go with two copies of that on your interview day.

I wish us all, at this interview stage, the best.

...and someone mentioned it before oh.

edunho:
and mind u, they look out for people who believe in team work... going by ur statement, it goes to show u r not a team player... u believe in an individual taking d whole glory

I know you were not referring to him but I would answer on his behalf. You that you are a team player and you believe in team work, what have you contributed to the conversation, ehn ? You posted one time that you had gotten the answer, yet we are have not seen the answer from you . You are busy crucifying someone who has made attempts. Just stay on your lane if you have nothing to contribute to the thinking process.

bellyjean:
Well, I think it might be a picture of you as a baby.
OR

A write up about ur self, ur dreams, ur passion.

OR

A write up about your old self. Ur mistakes, the poor decisions u've made etc

The thin colourful, crisp (as in tender; crisp potato chips. But with crinkle preceding crisp, the meaning has been delineated) Albeit, an old picture of you still suffice.

Custodian of dreams, wishes... in my own opinion is still the baby version of me.

The wave of a hand, never destroying. Crinkle, crisp, clear -described. Could mean ur baby photo album

OR

A newspaper that carries the date October 1, 1960.
Cos those lines could be describing Nigeria at her independence.

Again, judging from the previous tasks, the answer to this may not be personal to the candidates but be a general thing that the candidates must get

The October 1, 1960 newspaper might be correct oh. Why? Sahara always asks for things difficult to get.

It might be a diskette. #justguessing

edunho:
Eureka!!! I have gotten the answer

What is the answer?

Gnen:
If you know the answer to the riddle just copy and paste so that I can send it to my friend that needs it o o o. Sahara won't seem to surprise me anyway. When I read the thing I just went blank.

I don't know the answer. I'm guessing.

All of you saying "album" and "pictures", don't you know a riddle NEVER expressly states its answer?

Let me help you people sha. I'm not a Management Talent candidate. It might be a newspaper or magazine.

Superdont:
You can use Google Map... Infact, a map was attached to the mail.....

As if Google Maps would tell you which buses to enter, where you would get the buses or which bus stops to alight...

mayoor15:
Thin and colourful, custodian of dreams and wishes adorned; holding the thoughts of yesterday and the hopes of tomorrow
Of pictures, of speeches, of words with lasting laughter that stays the same time and time again
The wave of a hand, never destroying
Crinkle, crisp, clear – described
Bring an old version of me for your next stage.....2 copies.

Welcome to Stage 2!!! ...The Search



Please any clue cos am clueless right now

Did you apply for Management Talent programme?

mayoor15:
From history, we will be provided with that fish seller type calculator, most important thing be say, you can punch numbers and get your answer

@ "fish seller type calculator". That kind of calculator is enough for SHL questions. They didn't state whether or not we are to bring calculators. I'd take mine and if they ask me to drop it, I would.

sanyalai:
Please has any one gotten a follow up mail for the Graduate Audit and Accounting programe?

I received mine some minutes to 4pm.

I've not received my followup mail. Some Management Talent candidates have.

SommieO:
Be patient. No one has gotten yet for Audit and Accounting.

I received mine yesterday evening.

agroronnie:
I got a success mail and attached to it is one essay on how to make nigeria better.... please is it compulsory or part of the interview process... because these sahara people like to do extra invite, first na we invite you to follow on twitter now na essay on how to make nigeria better from the 17 sdgs.

I also got the same mail.

Izen:
Please is it everyone that wrote that one? Cos a lot of people finished far earlier than I did and I got confused since it was supposed to be a timed test. And I started immediately, didn't use up my time in some sessions. So please, did everyone write the 30 mins test?

I guess it wasn't everyone that wrote it.

Who knows when we should be expecting mails from Sahara?

dorothy0324:
I did....Mine was finance related.

I guess you applied for the Analyst program.

Please, who wrote the one of 30 minutes, the one that had questions related to the program you applied for?

**shrugs**

Well, not to sound too bad belle-ish: at least, Nigeria took first in an international pageant...

joshyo1:
I have tried sending you a mail, but I keep getting the. message that your mail add isn't correct

Good morning. Please, I sent you a DM.

Okpanwu:
A friend just called me dat PWC just sent him an email stating his score and the next stage of recruitment. who has seen his/her result in the house?

That's just a lie. First, PwC would not send your score to you; only success and regret mails. Second, from antecedents, PwC start sending such mails five days or so after the deadline. Third, the next stage of recruitment is the verification stage. You can see he was elusive as per he just said "next stage of recruitment".

With these reasons, I'm sure you understand he was pulling your legs. If he insists he's telling the truth, tell him to send a snapshot of the mail to you. Seeing, after all, is believing.

LordXaaan:
It seems you are missing the point, Miss.

Okay. It would be nice if you directed me to the point. I'm not being sarcastic.
