I got an email from TFN (Teach For Nigeria), a non-governmental organization, that I should come for in-person interview in the below address:

Venue: Workforce Group (The Zone) Plot, 9 Gbagada, Expressway, Lagos, Beside UPS.

I need directions from Ikorodu to the venue. Please fellow nairalanders, help me.

Yampotatocarrot:


I stand to be corrected, but TFN does not do in-person interview for their current ongoing recruitment.

Note: I stand to be corrected

I just hope that Gbagada isn't where I think it is... (If you know, you know)

Take a bus from Ikorodu to Oshodi.

I would have preferred you take a bus to Mile 12 first, before you enter the one to Oshodi.(That's where you'll see the preferred "Oshodi" bus)

Anyways, when entering the bus, tell the driver if he would pass Iyana-Oworo. If he says he's passing Ojota-Anthony, do not enter

When you enter the one going through Iyana-Oworo, tell the driver you would aligt at UPS.

Workforce is not far from there.

I did the virtual assessment last week via zoom. We were told that there would be in-person interview which the date, time, and venue would be communicated to us. In fact, before the virtual assessment, the stages we would pass through had been told to us through email, in which in-person interview is the final stage.

billynoni:
"Beside UPS"? In Gbagada expressway? GNLD people is that you?... OP I'm not insinuating anything ooo, just talking out loud.

Yampotatocarrot:


Okay... We didn't do during ours

Good luck, bro... Just pick Uber if you can't get the place

noble2faith:


How were you given your PPA? Didn't you meet any of the TFN staff in person?

Yampotatocarrot:


When did your application start? Have you undergone the one month training?

noble2faith:


Laye laye ... If they are GNLD guys, they will see the other side of me. I passed through tough stages, wasted money and data. Can GNLD go that extra miles? The application processes started two months ago.

billynoni:
They better not be GNLD for their own sake... Well then, all the best bro

noble2faith:


More than 2 months ago. Nope I havent

Yampotatocarrot:


Okay... Seems you applied for something else. During our time, we applied for teaching, and it was online as people were in different locations all over the country. Only the one month training brings you down to Lagos.

I wish you success in your interview

noble2faith:


It is teaching as well. I already did virtual assessment, where I did sample teaching through zooming.

Yampotatocarrot:


Ooo, okay. Good luck Sir

noble2faith:


Tell me more about TFN. After being posted to school, what next?

Yampotatocarrot:


We didn't get to that stage. After the one month training, they said they're sorry, that they couldn't make arrangements for posting... Even those that filled Ogun and Kaduna were disappointed... I applied last year and we finished our training by October/November, although I opted out when I got something better (was still following in the WhatsApp group though)

Only very few people were finally posted... They asked others to keep hoping to be posted. I'm actually surprised they started a fresh recruitment when about 89% of those that finished the program last year had not been posted, and were put on "pending".

You'll enjoy the one month training, it was really great... The "mentors" you'll be given during the training are also looking for the same job as you, so don't worship any of them, even when they try to flex muscles... You'll learn a lot during the training, a whole lot... BUT, DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB DURING THIS PERIOD, UNTIL YOU'VE GOTTEN YOUR LETTER OF APPOINTMENT

noble2faith:

I am sorry for asking too many questions. Did they give u guys stipend during the training that should cater for feeding, more especially transport?

Yampotatocarrot:


Our training was online (virtual), so they supplied data. But those before us who did physical were only paid at the end of the training... They'll feed and accommodate you throughout the training period, but you'll only receive something at the end of the training

Ge0grapher:


Hello Noble .. did u later get the TFN job??

Ge0grapher:


Hello Noble .. did u later get the TFN job??

Ge0grapher:


TFN has given us Offer letter, but we are yet to go for the training.. do u think what happened to the other set who were not later posted would happen to us ??

noble2faith:


Nope.

I have a question. During the interview, were u asked whether u re going to leave the TFN if you see a better offer?

Ge0grapher:


Yes I was asked.. I replied nope I won't leave @ Yampotatocarrot can we chat on WhatsApp ?? Wanna ask you some questions!! Thanks.

Yampotatocarrot:

Ge0grapher:
