For someone who has made absolutely NO POSTS on this thread despite having an account since 2017, I find it very interesting that the first time you post is to “announce”, twice, a so-called WhatsApp group for AC.

To everyone reading, I will be wary of joining ANY WhatsApp group let alone THIS one. But each their own.

I’ve never been a fan of funneling these kinds of conversations to a WhatsApp groups because it leads to a loss of vital pieces of information.

I would have ignored this post but your name is quite popular when it comes to DPR( I think) and NLNG recruitment even as far back as the 2014 thread you are always there acting like you know the in and out of NLNG. I think in 2023 recruitment you were claiming how you were once their staff and no more working with them etc. For the kind of experience I think you have concerning NLNG and its recruitment. This your write up is pointless. I don’t need to be an active member on this thread to be worthy of passing such a message. If you are that enlightened in NLNG recruitment you would know usually when it gets to the finals like this. There is usually a dedicated group solely focused on AC invitees to help pass information better. This is not to say that this thread dies down due to that but that’s just the way it is. There are over 180 members in the group so far and all were verified before joining. Don’t discourage people unnecessarily from getting all the help/info they need to use to prepare for this final stage because probably when it comes to NAIRALAND you are “the all knowing” about the in and outs of NLNG recruitment.
Have a blessed day everyone

NLNG Assessment also known as NLNG Assessment Center typically involves panel interview, group discussions, work place scenario, case studies, virtual Job tryout, and presentations.

Lol! He says "don't discourage people from getting all the help they need", yet he funnels people into a whatsapp group, killing off any help future candidates would get from conversations that should happen here. Listen, I have zero interest in claiming to be the "all knowing", but I can tell you for free that for the NLNG GT recruitment, I'm way way more knowledgeable about the entire process than you ever will be.

You ha e made near zero contributions om the thread here through out the process, but crawl out of the woodworks to create a so-called AC WhatsApp group for whatever malicious intentions best known to you.

And No, I have nothing to do with DPR. Nor NNPC. I only comment on NLNG recruitment thread. GT recruitment specifically. You would not find me actively contributing on an NLNG EH thread. I'm not like you jumping from one recruitment thread to the other, funneling off people to your several so-called WhatsApp groups.

As far back as 2017, you have been funneling Nairaland recruitments into whatsapp groups. That's 9 years of "let's rub mind here". On the contrary, I have kept ALL of my contributions in the open and fully documented for future reference.


Is whatsapp group admin now a job? Are you selling something in those groups that you are "afraid" to sell in public? Or are you harvesting people's data for some kind of nefarious activity?

You’re coming off unnecessarily hostile over something that’s meant to help people. A WhatsApp group doesn’t replace this thread. it just gives candidates another way to interact and support each other.
Also, claiming to be “way more knowledgeable” doesn’t really mean much if it’s wrapped in this kind of attitude. If your goal is genuinely to help, then share what you know and let it speak for itself.
Throwing around accusations of “malicious intent” without any basis just makes you look funny. Focus on adding value instead of attacking people who are doing the same.
At the end of the day you will be fine Nairaland enthusiast.
Cheers

"unnecessarily hostile"? Lol.

And your statement that "If your goal is genuinely to help, then share what you know and let it speak for itself." clearly shows that you have not been on this thread and are just now jumping in because it has reached advanced stages where you are likely to con people with higher chances of success. Go through this entire thread and tell me if I have not publicly shared more helpful information and insights than your attempt to funnel potential mugus into your whatsapp group.

A WhatsApp group that allows candidates to interact and support each other, should be led and driven by the candidates. Not by a "professional" whatsapp group admin creator. If say an Abduleeda1 or someone with more active contributions here had created that group, I would complain but not think too much about it. But someone who has had zero contributions on this recruitment process, and is known to professionally create whatsapp groups for advanced stages in Oil and gas recruitment, that is not a red flag, it is a red parachute

I don’t think this has to be a “pick one” situation between Nairaland and WhatsApp. People are free to be on both platforms and use each for what it offers.

Personally, I think the strongest value of the WhatsApp group is the opportunity to practice with others who are also scheduled for the assessment center. That kind of real-time interaction is useful.

That said, at this stage of the recruitment process, anxiety is naturally highand curiosity for information is even higher. I’ll be honest, I’m currently on about four different groups plus this Nairaland thread (not saying that’s the healthiest approach), but the tension makes you want to be everywhere information might surface.

Also, a lot of what’s being shared on WhatsApp can already be found here. I’ve personally gained a lot from previous NLNG threads on Nairaland. But even with that, I don’t think it’s a reason to criticize the creation of a WhatsApp group that probably was never ill-intended.

At the end of the day, they serve different purposes. The “OGs” and archived insights are here on Nairaland, while the WhatsApp groups are mostly made up of current candidates looking to connect and prepare together, as I think Keglet is also a candidate.

There’s really no need for it to turn into a conflictboth can coexist and be useful in their own ways.

@Reshh,

Are you saying someone who was a GT candidate for DPRs 2016 recruitment is today a GT candidate for NLNG? AFAIK, you needed to have served no earlier than 2021 to qualify for this role.

Like I've always said, I will always complain about WhatsApp groups even though I know they have a value in the recruitment. My grouse with this particular one is that it seems to have been created by professional whatsapp group admins, those people who delight in creating these kinds of groups for whatever reason they have.

If more active monikers had been the ones that created the WhatsApp group, I would see reason even though I'd still gripe about it. But for someone with zero contribution on their post history, I'd be wary, which is what I pointed out. This is someone who's says "If your (referring to me) goal is genuinely to help, then share what you know and let it speak for itself."

So let me be clear, especially on the exchange today. My gripe is that someone with zero contribution, someone who is almost definitely not in the recruitment, someone who almost likely has not been following the thread (given that they are questioning what help I have provided) is suddenly creating a WhatsApp group for the AC stage. Probably laying down a well calculated data harvesting honeypot so that they have details of the future successful GTs. Overthinking from my part? Possibly, but I'd rather scream wolf and not see wolf, than keep quiet and be ravaged by a wolf

On some other platforms, you can be banned for redirecting users to continue the conversation on a different platform.

Anyway join any whatsapp groups you want to join at your own peril...

@airsaylongcome

I took a moment to look into your history here, and it explains a lot via the ss. Between the repeated complaints about your conduct and even accusations of fraudulent behavior, your pattern of engagement speaks for itself and it’s not one I’m interested in being associated with any further.
The way you communicate by being dismissive, accusatory, and unnecessarily hostile, doesn’t add value to any discussion. It only reflects poorly on you, not the people you’re addressing.
I won’t be continuing this exchange. You might want to reflect on how you engage with others, because attitude matters just as much as whatever knowledge you think you bring.
All the best.

I always chuckle when folks like you bring this up. Yes I worked for that business. Drove a lot of the IT systems that was being rolled out at the time. Deployed their core financial solution and Customer management solution.

Go and Google Maxwell Odum+Christ Embassy and see why, at the time I had no qualms being there. And no I have no intentions hiding all of that on NL. Please also dig out all other variants of my moniker so you have absolute clarity on my NL persona.

In other news, in 2020 why were you begging to see what the Baker Hughes interview invitation looks like?

Why were you all over the place hunting for past questions in 2017 and 2018? And you are supposed to be an NLNG GT candidate in 2026? Or you derive joy from being a professional whatsapp admin for recruitment threads?

Omoo why thread come silent like this
What's the update guys

Probably the downside of herding folks into whatsapp groups...gatekeeping helps no one.

Those that went ahead did a great service by documenting the process in the public domain.

Please, y'all should also share here.

Chat, talk, tell us about past and present experiences with the recruitment process.

The hope of some of us hangs on that. 🥺🥺

I believe that the thread will help better than the WhatsApp groups. Everyone will be hoarding their strategies. You'll only get recycled non-helpful materials. But over here, you may just get people with past experiences to drop their two cents from time to time.

I have always wanted to know , NLNG guys do they live permanently on Bonny or is it like a shift thing of 30 days on , 30 days off kind of life ?

Thank you

The Corporate Head Office is situated in Port Harcourt, while the Plant is located on Bonny Island. The Head Office Annex is located in Abuja.

NLNG sends rejection email to candidate, see attached image below.
The next stage after the NLNG Assessment is the NLNG assessment center which entails case studies, panel interview, presentations & group discussion.

Not what I asked though , the guys on Bonny , the engineers that get posted there . Do they all live there permanently January to December or do they get like a schedule with which they come to Bonny and work

Round the clock based in Bonny. They live there January to December

Not every question needs to be answered literally. Sometimes, you are expected to fill in the gaps and draw a reasonable inference.

It is the same logic as prompt engineering with generative AI: The clearer the context, the sharper the response.

In this case, operators and technicians work shift-based schedules. The ongoing recruitment is for Graduate Trainees who will typically work normal office hours.

Also, until late last year, there was no land route into Bonny Island.

That context matters.

So, for non-shift employees, the inference should not be difficult.

Good morning @airsaylongcome
Thank you so much for the offer, I really appreciate it.
I’m a science graduate currently working in banking, where I’ve strengthened my client management, risk analysis and data analytics skills. I’ve already completed the SHL MAP you shared, gone through additional assessment center materials and identified areas I want to improve like my presentation skills and probing skills (for the fact finding exercise). I know your guidance and insight will be really helpful in improving these skills.
I’m committed to putting in the work and acting on your advice as fast as possible.

Oh God 🥺🥺

It goes without saying that many people who frequent this thread have gone through the 2013 thread at least once, and we can all agree it was rich with information. Recent graduates have been fortunate to witness two NLNG recruitment cycles in four years, yet the total body of shared knowledge still feels like a drop in the ocean compared with what was available in the 2013 thread.

That said, many people benefit from shared information, and if there is nothing to hide, there is no harm in having open discussions on this thread during recruitment. I would encourage everyone to share, learn from one another, and leave behind useful details that could benefit people 13 years from now, just as the older threads have done for many of us.

It is disappointing that some would rather choose otherwise, especially when there is a non zero possibility that a more open platform could lead to richer and better conversations while also serving posterity.

Wishing you all the best with your ACs.
