When you get there u will be tested. Don't hop into the car and start driving when given d key.

Open d bonnet and check d fluids, oil, radiator fluid, gear oil confirm they all gauged before starting the vehicle. While engine is steaming check d wipers and allow engine to steam a while before driving

You will fail the test if you hop in and start driving

I hope you have a driving license

Also check d Tyres. It shows you are an observant driver
Perfect.

In addition, put on your seat belts and adjust your side mirrors and internal mirror before driving.

Do people check their cars daily? Do you need to know how to guage these things? I'm curious cos I don't and I know many do not either.

Wow ,use side mirror if u are on reverse gear ,don't look back ,if u do u will lose the job ,be confident on the steering, they will be monitoring your demeanour and also use your seat belt
Ah, isn't this a fail at driver's license test? Why should he then do this at a driving interview? One is always advised to look back ooo.

This is why I love this site - Nairaland is a bastion of knowledge.

OP, don't bother to read any other thing, just take note of what this guy said and polish yourself more on your poise and confidence.

I may add, if it is an international organization, diplomatic mission or NGO, please check the car papers and know your road signs, including all the agencies responsible for renewable of car documents. Oyibo no dey joke with following laid down rules

Good luck!

Also check the spare tire, car papers and extinguisher.
Ensure you do a quick evacuation of any rubbish in the car.

When driving drive defensively and never drag with anyone. If stopped by any govt officials be polite and firm. No aggression

All this assumes you are test driving for a serious company though. If it is a one man business you may just throw this advice out the window

It's not all potential employers that have time for all this protocol.The driving test I have been to was that,an expert driver would enter the car with me and watch whether I would first adjust the mirror,wear my seatbelt adjust the seat,shift gear to neutral,and release the handbrake before I start the car.Another test is reverse backwards.Most learners can't reverse.

yours too is also a point but the dude is right. except the bonet, checking tyres I don't think is necessary



my first driving job, what I did first was the bonet, even before going further the man clap and said first test passed, then the second was reversed, how to look at the side mirror and front mirrors and some road signs questions

Oga leave all this advice, I must say, well intended and knowledgeable though.
The issue is can you drive?
If you can, just go there and drive!. All these talk talk and advice will only make a simple thinh like driving complicated and difficult.
Lol. I remember when I first interviewed for a role that required driving occasionally. Baba, told them I could drive and had an expired license. Honestly, I was expecting to be assigned a driver if I was successful. Me wey never sabi select gear or press throttle grin.

Two days later, I was called and informed that I was successful. I was further asked if I could drive and I repeated that I could. Bros, na so called my brother that I was coming over for him to help get drivers license. Baba arranged one for me and gave me a 2 days crash program on driving.

I went back to my base. Waited for another 1 month. No show. Suddenly, the company called again that we should come for pick up of our vehicles. Brand new manual hilux with auxiliary gears. With only 2 days driving experience? See liver. I carried the vehicle le with hand break still engaged and alarms beeping. I drove away. Burst the tyre on the road. Had to engage a temporay driver who helped me change tyre and drove me to my base in another state. I paid him and immediately hired a driver who drove me for 1 month within which period I perfected my driving skills.

Funny experience.

You have said it all,
I will only add one thing. While in reverse, use your side mirrors. Don't ever turn your face backward to reverse.
You might be asked to dive on a particular drawn lines. be confident AND focus.

Good day nairalanders, I just got an invitation to an interview for a driving job I applied for last year. I'm currently a serving corper in Abuja and haven't been to any interview ever. Please I'd like to know what do and also what to expect. Thank you
Your valid driver license?

How many years driving experience?

Are you a family man? (It's believed that a family man is more careful on the road)

Your road accident history, if any?

How familiar are you with the road signs?

Bros there are blind spots the side mirrors don’t cover. Please look back when reversing unless you’ve got a reverse camera installed.
I ve never looked back while reversing. I was taught by professional, the side mirrors and the inner one are more than enough
