For me I will go with scrabble, being that scrabble requires a lot of mental exercise. A good player who wants to win, need to know thousands of words where as chess just need knowing the right moves to make at the right time to check make the king.
Scrabble needs a very good and retentive memory to remember the thousands of word you know.
Scrabble also need tactics too as application of words in the wrong places will see u being counter attacked by your opponent.
In scrabble also, you don't know the words your opponent has and hence you will need to play mind games on ur opponent as well as being very tactical else, you will see ur opponent score miles apart from u. This is not the same in Chess as u both have the same pieces and hence you know what ur opponent has already.
Scrabble requires your memory immensely. The people who win the most elite tournaments know their words and can find them. It requires having a strong memory to know tens of thousands of words, being able to rearrange the letters in their head, and a smattering of other more technical things like defense and other strategic aspects.
Scrabble to me, it's harder than.

Well, this is just my opinion and I'm seeking for urs. Which of these game is harder?

I play both games but to me , chess requires more mental activity than scrabble. It isn't all about knowing all the right moves; how about playing with someone who evenly matches your level. If I lose a game of chess twice to the same person I feel hurt in the head. I am not an elite player though.

Obviously Nigerian federal institutions and missing results are like you know...

bellyjean:
"Awon A1 ni Economics" abi nah i have to be in the PwC mood
Thanks.

But another thing is how to explain the gap in my CV. I left job on the last day of January and this is April. What have I been doing since I left my previous Job?

You've been developing yourself na or haven't you?

Sambest2:
Awon A1 ni Economics, personally and Idealy, you shouldn't include your current studies if you will not round up by say August for Assurance or by May for Advisory. Don't you think they may consider it and advice you to complete your studies? (I believe you know what it entails when a recruiter advices you in this regard?).

You've said it all... Bellyjean take note

maryjabeez:
Wot did dey ask u?

plenty questions my dear

Interview just dried up the saliva in my mouth... pheeew!

moonprince:
pls can someone still apply......

For next year, yes!

TheBatman:
Heard they grouped both advisory and tax together..not fair

But there's actually nothing unfair about the grouping

AbbyE:
The panel was cool..I got nervous for no reason; it's just a chat. They weren't really interested in anything on the CV, so try to practice as many behavioural questions as possible & show you can work in a team.

Nice one!

For those of you interviewed today, hope y'all had a wonderful interview expererience

nwagbaradav:

nwagbaradav:

optimusmind:

nwagbaradav:
Lol... The interview still runs till may though... Am up for April 27th! What me don't want is to wait till June/July for success mail like the last batch

ikr... the waiting thing can be really frustrating. Do you think the waiting period may be any different from the last.
Is there anyone for April 20th here aside me?

nwagbaradav:
Lol.. Like say you know sef... Happy holidays oversight!

As in eh...the thread is just too serene.

*walks into thread with broom and clears cobwebs* Una happy holidays o!

datjobhunter:
Part 3 is for your current job, while 4 is for jobs you had before the one you filled in part 3.
If you don't have any job experience yet, just fill NYSC role in part 3.
It's not compulsory to fill all those spaces in part 4 if you don't actually have the experience. After all, for Assurance and Tax, no experience was required.

oshey

datjobhunter:
Fill in your NYSC experience

How is part 3 different from part 4? almost seem same to me. Please clarify

Asiwaju12345:
We drank coffee and ate digestive.

hahahahahaha...nice one!

Hi guys. Apologies for not giving y'all feedback yesterday ( Even though I know I'm not obligated to but you get my point lol).

Anyways, I had a terrible terrible interview yesterday. A behavioural question was thrown to me which took me off balance and shattered my confidence but I can only hope for the best right now even though I'm sure my chances are pretty slim at this point.

Mayor has pretty much summarised everything. The first stage is a group presentation where you'd be given an issue to discuss on. Don't worry, it's an issue basically anyone at this stage can make meaningful contributions to as I think everyone in my group did fair enough. Just read up on current economic issue in Nigeria and the world at large. The good thing is that theyre more concerned about your ability to work in a team than the things you say I presume. You don't want to come off as being condescending to your team mates just because youre well informed on the topic being discussed.

The second stage which is the one on one interview stage is the tricky one. First of all, be rest assured that the interviewers are the best guys you'd ever meet. At a point, they noticed my confidence was shattered and tried to cheer me up and lift my spirits by asking me to just discuss any topic that interests me. They really do not care about your technical abilities at this stage but ate more concerned if youre going to be a good fit at pwc. The questions at this stage are more situational questions that seek to find our what you'd do if you were certain situations.

Really trying to get my mind off my terrible interview session yesterday as you probably won't see me make any contribution here anymore. I wish you all the best in your interviews. Go out there and conquer.

God bless you all

It is well bro. God go make am happen.

Abeg na who dey write names of noisemakers sef??

Mayoor hope you broke their necks lol. After presentation, were questions thrown at you guys?

How long did your interview take?

mayoor15:
Think so far we've seen April 10, 11, 21, 25, 27 and 28 and May 2,3,4,5,10,11 and 12.

20th April too

mayoor15:
Okay sir, we gathered reliable information that interviews start next week Monday, results should be out tomorrow or Thursday for the AsBsCsDs and maybe Es. Then most people bp now will be around 180/120...lols... The PwcClown17 had a dream say she was making some photocopies for TheRealAdonye. And it is forecasted that by tomorrow, people will refresh their nails like 1000 times per person. Next week forecast will be released on Friday air.

Mr secretary I guess your forecast was as precise as a sniper bullet.

All the best to all of us that have made it thus far. Our efforts will be crowned ultimately...

Gnen:
PWC HR are the best I have ever encountered. Prompt response with the speed of light from the Hiring Manager. Thank God.

They are obviously like your signature

TheRealAdonye:
Lol, I no mean am like that.

Goodluck

You na correct boss anytime. Thanks.

TheRealAdonye:

senior bros calm down, there's no need for the exclamation mark

TheRealAdonye:
