This inspired me. Thank you!

Jarus:
I have read comments on this thread that almost got me into tears.

The accounts of those that did not get the jobs are very touching. I was almost moved to tears by some of them. I can imagine the pressure, the expectation, the hope.

It’s just how life is.

It’s not the end of life. In my final year in Ife in 2006, I had a classmate that could barely pay the N17k school fees. He struggled to raise the money till the last day. He was my good friend. Very brilliant guy (first class actually) but from a very humble home.

When we graduated and started job hustling, anytime he came to Lagos, he used to squat with me in my brother’s house. Sometimes, I would even be the one to “dash” him N500 for transport fare back to his state (in the SW).

He wrote the test of Accenture and they said he didn’t pass.

We both wrote the test of an investment management firm in 2006 (we started job hunting even before NYSC) immediately after graduation. I got the job. He didn’t get it.

His morale was affected. Everyone knew he was more brilliant than I was. His confidence was being affected but he soldiered on.

Guess what? In 2008, few weeks after out NYSC, he got job in an IOC that is perceived to be the best place to work in Nigeria.

That changed his life and that of his family and his generation.

The last time we saw, in 2016, he just “warmed” his new house in Lekki which cost him over N60m. I don’t have that despite starting earlier than him. That’s aside his house in his hometown.

This was someone that was rejected by Accenture and Vetiva, small firms.

So guys, NNPC rejection is not the end of life. We have all been rejected by one employer or the other at one point in life. I failed GTB test in 2007 or so (first time I’m saying this anywhere). Today, I probably earn more than a senior manager in GTB. If I had passed the job test in 2007, I would not even have risen to become a manager in GTB today given the multilayered bank career ladder.

So guys, the race is not for the swiftest as the Christians say. And as we Muslims say, what will hit you will not miss you.

This is so sad

Has anyone received a mail for physical interview today?

This is the second stage

I have done the test. At first I felt nervous but as time went, I felt better. Just be yourself. The questions were not bad. They were behavioural. I think it's just a preparation for the main interview so keep calm and don't panic. I am actually grateful for this experience. I didn't know I was a stammerer All the best guys!

Looool. Haven't been feeling well though, I'll do mine first thing tomorrow morning and update you guys.

How is the interview

I just got the mail for interview. Really, it is based on average. Don't lose hope guys!

Don't really know but he passed all English assessments but failed one video. Laslas God dey. If God says you will make it through this stage, then you will

mistinu:
what was your friend's score like?

I am really not certain of the outcome. Being that I didn't pass all the English assessments. Though my average for the English was above 80%

Also, I didn't pass one of the video assessments the first time. Fingers crossed though

mistinu:
There's hope for us then

Yesterday

mistinu:
When did he receive his invite

It varies for people . He wrote the test on Saturday. I wrote on Tuesday

olalemii:
I don’t believe this, i hope you are not mistaking the invite for something else, as at the time of your response the deadline for the submission of the assessment hasn’t elapsed - so it doesn’t add up

Did you receive any notification after the test. I noticed I can't log on again. Says Session is still ongoing.

olalemii:
Overall

Yes

mistinu:
Did you answer the screening question

When did you get the mail? I got the link to the test two days after I got the mail in your screenshot

ernhiee:
I got this mail and I haven't gotten an invite for the test...please anyone in my shoes??
