Finally its all over! Beginning of induction ends issuance of APL. UAE here I come

yusufbala2010:
Congratz o and are we to put off our mind bros as the induction has already started in Lagos? We that attended our oral interview at Zaria i have four people numbers only one person has called and is it because i applied for HIGHER TECHNICAL OFFICER and i read CHEMICAL ENGINEERING because HTO is for those of civil,mechanical and electrical as mentioned in their advert even though during the interview the interviewer said i would be more relevant to their laboratory instead but he asked me how can i do the job of mechanical while iam Chemical Engineering and i told him that if i was trained to do it and i can offer the job so i guess may be iam not qualified for it but have they placed you relevant to your profession bros?

yusufbala2010:
congratz o they dont have weekend for collection is everyday pls frd where in Abuja? And did you received a call from person as they said so and have they started giving out those offers they said are still in Abuja yet to sign?

jasperwilson87:
Indeed, there was a country; I cant believe things have gotten this bad in my country. APLs are now been issued on weekends and on private compounds. God will help us

Benokpara:
Hmmmmmm No matter what, I still have high hopes on this job. God will help us. Amen

zellis001:
My candid advice 2 u is to take d job bcuz working for d fed govt has more prospects dan state govt. Wateva u saw in d appointment letter is your basic salary. Allowances are usually not stated. Even though right now, nrc might nt b getting any bogus allowances, there is still hope because unlike in d past, it generates revenue and d future is in rail transport. Pls tink twice about your decision

futureenergy:
I am a partial EH. Thanks but I normally should be worried why my profile wouldn't come up for them. We're too few that got that to be a trend. There are some sure candidates here and some insiders that will tell when "celebration" time comes.

Pls some are sending me PM. I wouldn't be responding. I've not made any comments on this recruitment thread before. I was just monkeying around when I applied, and never thought it'll be anything serious up to this stage.
My interview was just normal, I think I got all my questions correctly and surely I knew some more than the panel but was a bit proud (current affairs have been my strong point since primary school). I was comfortable with the technical aspects and mentioned a few names in DPR that we had correspondences with in my previous work place before I was dropped mid last year. I was into drilling and well planning, they knew the place I worked and I named wells for them (usually, DPR gets well plans, anti-collision analysis and other things before approving new wells to be drilled).

At the end, I hammered them 2 questions that they couldn't answer. first was on career development at DPR while the second was a direct attack question and indictment on them, that was motivated by the fuel scarcity which had started building up at the time of my interview. The 2nd question got the FCC man laugh out loudly.

So, that's all. I don't think there's anything special. I didn't go to please them. in fact, the 2nd question could get them rank me low or disqualify me outright. Their business.

That's all. Happy New Year in advance to you all. You have my best wishes always.

Ferguson0709:
Good. Cos 2 days after I wrote my test in Lagos, a random number just called me and was telling me he works in DPR and he just saw my profile. He went on to say he can help provided I pay 300k. I immediately call him off, he end the call.
I’m just saying we should be careful, that’s all

Copy and paste Engineers. Can you see the level of idleness of the Nigerian Engineering Graduates? Everybody on this thread wants a COREN Report Sample. Everbody has a BSc/BEng/HND degree, and yet no one could write the COREN Technical Report which is just a critical analysis of your English Language ability in writing a technical report in your domain based on your work experience. Everybody wants "copy & paste".

The country is already in a mess because the British deceived us that once you have a Paper - degree, you are qualified. Every Engineering graduate whether BSc/BEng/HND carried out a laboratory work during the schooling days, how come nobody could write a Technical Report explaining "what was done", "how it was done", "why it was done", "what was the major conclusions", and "any new area of improvement". Mind you, this thread started at about 9:00 am On Dec 11, 2012.

Having COREN Certificate that enables you to attach the prefix "Engr." before your name does not make you an Engineer, rather the thought process of sitting down, drafting the format/outline of the COREN Technical Report (which is domain and experience-specific), and ultimately developing the outline into a full Technical Report of say 70+ pages, with all the necessary addendum, charts, graphs, drawings, calculations, etc., that's what makes you an Engineer.

This country must begin to de-emphasize on the paper Qualification war - which is the actual motivation of most Nigerian Graduates not necessarily Engineering Graduates. We must begin to seek "knowledge" (the thought-process of writing a standard technical report) rather than "qualification" (COREN Certificate).

In Nigeria, we know how to copy and paste. Nigerian Government copied HND from the UK, in the early 1960s, the UK Education system was revolutionalized and every Polytechnic became a University (e.g. Wolverhampton Polytechnic became the University of Wolverhampton in 1970).
What do we have in Nigeria, "the same - the same". We are immune to change.

If we that claims that we are the leaders of tomorrow are ready for tomorrow in Nigeria, then we must go back, pick and start reading those "Course Manuals" on Workshop Practice and the likes where the rudiments of Technical Report Writing were exposed.

"Report Writing" which is part of "Communication Skill" is a technical skill that every "Engineer" must develop and it becomes part you, the reason is that as an Engineer, over the course of your career, you will always write a technical report about a/a project, task, operation, design, maintenance service, fieldwork, etc. So, you must go and develop it.

On a final note, I recommend "Steve Jobs' strategy - forget the grades, focus on the learning". Evidently, anybody requesting for COREN Technical Report Sample clearly focused on "grades", and in doing so forgot "learning". QED

mheen I got a call yesterday 11.06pm from nrc to come to lagos office to pick my appointment letter on or before 29th december. i had no connections but scaled through all the process. i can say i believe the process of selection not because i was better than anybody here but because the politicians may not have interfered much with agencies like nrc that are not among the lucrative agencies in terms of pay. my concerns are traveling this yuletide to lagos. besides their package has been an issue wish i really need to know to take proper decision. pls someone help. i need your advice cos i have been engaged wit my state for over 6 years growing through the rank and file to a package of 60k but wanted something better if nrc could offer. thanks.

Sunnystooth:
Lolz,
Which existing fact?
I don't think there has been any activity on anyone's portal after the interviews.

So for now, even if our portal is still accessible, it doesn't really indicate success yet.

maryam123:
hello house
I have been APC for so long, I had even started forgetting about DPR. Just now I decided to log on one last time before deleting the portals homepage from my phone. Lo and behold! I had access to my account once again!
Showing my interview date and location.. grand cubana hotel jabi Abuja for 15 Dec 2017 batch c...this has long elapsed..what to do now? I don't know.
Will probably call DPR's hotline after the holiday to find out my fate..
Please are there some APC guys still on this thread..try logging into your portal and see what's up.. I'll try uploading pics from my portal, I don't know how to yet cause i'm new to nairaland.

Sunnystooth:
"If your portal is still accessible up until now, my dear just forget about DPR"




Chai!!!

Those pre-interview days.
Boiz heart always skipped some beats just by clicking on this thread.

Lolz.

Onyiridike:
During documentation in NITT, Zaria, a young man was denied a job because his elder sister works there.

He was told plainly that two of them cannot work in the same parastatal.

Smartgrid:
"DO YOU HAVE ANY FRIEND OR RELATIVE WORKING WITH US?"
The above question was asked by the interviewers to almost all the applicants that attended the interview. I am surprised that many of you couldn't understand what that mean or the logic behind. The question is simply checking for nepotism, which is simply the practice among those in power to influence the favouring of their relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.

The correct answer in that situation is simple "No". But I don't think it's wrong when you answer "Yes", especially if that your relative is not working in the HR department, as that 'may' attract unnessesary questions to ascertain weather or not he's helping you in any way to secure the appointment. The help could be as simple as telling you the exact question they gonna ask you and the best answers.

Anyway, these are just my understanding. I stand to be corrected. Good day hopefuls ✌

jidex4life:
which batch are you and which venue and discipline

DouglasHoc:
420 pages. Wow. Having read every single page of this thread, I get the feeling that this is the beginning of the end for the thread. The end is in sight. I wish each and every one of the best in life whether employed by DPR or not. We will get there

jidex4life:
When searching for my name in the computer the interviewer was searching it for like 3 minutes and later told the other guy that my name is in page * number * please who experienced the same thing with me and what is the meaning of those pages cos someone has mentioned to me that she is in page 13

Topranking117:
Donno what you mean though, but I applied for economist EH

debbie2sine:
Madam, have you probably come across any EH- Civil Engineer that was invited? am yet to get response from anybody, thank you

Onyiridike:
Speak for yourself. There is no VIP and if you had read previous posts, you would have noticed that candidates who missed their interview were referred to Abuja.

In kano, we were addressed before the interview.

We were told not to go into the interview room with the mindset that it is all for formality.

The man informed us that many of them did not know anybody during their time.

He admitted that there are powers above who tried to hijack the recruitment but they fought them to stand still to ensure that provisions are made for us.

I don't know about you but my own case is settled in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen !!!!

Tamihawtt87:
I heard there will still be another intake of 200 in DPR after this 400 we are all struggling for o. Probably towards end of next year.. Only that I'm not sure if they will take from the other pool of candidates that won't make this particular set that have gone through the Test and Interview or they will conduct another one entirely. I don't hav further info so pls don't finish me with questions. As time goes on, more info will come out. Gudluck everyone!

Sunnystooth:
Please someone should advise me properly here... I uploaded Notification of results, and my University just a couple of weeks ago did it convocation - that means my Degree Certificate is ready... Should I go get it, or still use the notification of result i uploaded online? Since they said we should come with the original of all the documents we uploaded.


Please, someone say something.
