u can imagine u have a apace to fill and u put advert in guardian- i bet u , u will have close to 2 million applications in 2 weeks, and many of them dont much staffs in HR dept to handle such, so they prefer to give it out to consulting firms.

i like the way schlumberger did their shortlisting.
every entry was acknowledge , and if u didnt meet the erq they will state which of the req u missed, i think that is fair enof, at least na money pple they use make photocopy, abi how u see am

Dear All,
has any bodey heard anything from baker hughes .
i remember we submitted an application there some few weeks ago.
has anybody been called?
any clue?

i was at schlumberger office about an hour ago, they have started calling pple for test.
the 1st set of pple that applied are now having a taste of what its takes to work in an oil coy.
so if u applied and met the req start reading nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Dear All

Well for the test, its in 2 parts

1 is the aptitude test, and the other is the technical test.

The aptitude test entails numerical analysis and verbal reasoning.

For the aptitude test, u can get similar practise question from www.shl.com- the test is patented from them

You need to be fast- the numerical is 20 min for 20 questions, the verbal reasoning also is 32question 18mins, so u need speed.

Then the technical question is in 2 stages

Stage 1- is physics, chem. And maths- that O level, so go dust yr okeke and ababio.

Stage 2 is the professional aspect- for ex if u applied as a pet engr you will have to answer 100 questions on all aspect of petroleum engr, from geology – reservoir engr-calculations , so get down to read.

And don’t 4get to study all yr units conversions , its also very important

I think you will have less than 2hours to battle that.

Much more pray 4 directional reading.

Elf is very strict with their test, and once u don’t pass, just 4get it even if yr father is the MD.

Wishing u all the best.

sorry bro,
it was because of the hols.
i want to know which position you are applying for.
i did their test last year and this year too but as an industrial treatment engineer.
if i can know what u applied 4 then i will be able to give u a clue.
pls use my email-folasheni@yahoo.com if u need some privacy, if not i'll prefer to share it with all that is the spirit of the forum

does any member of the forum know anything about dataflex.
one of my junior is schedule to take their test soon.
if you have taken it before or you have a clue please kindly reply
cheers

hey buddy,
diamond bank test is one kind that is strange. 1stly its too commercial, u have to learn how to calculate profit after tax stuff and also how share appreciates after some years, most annoyingly no use of calculator and the time is short
I really dont enjoy it sha, sinec am an engineer, no current afairs o, and there critical reasoning is ok, but not straight forward.
Most importantly again if you are not IBO, dont waste your time , diamond bank is heavily tribalised that the last test in august that i sat for , had 1600 of us they took 55, 50 of which are igbo,just eat very well b4 u leave home they are not organised , the test ran to 10pm that day , and the results came out 7.30am the following day, can u beat that ?
dont wanna scare u much ,
best wishes
