Am talking to u from experience, once your name is on that list is as good as getting the job, confirm from ppl with experience of how FG use to recruit previously, except if it has changed. Pls guys some 1 should explain that to him

gaetano:
Are you fvcking kidding me? Where in Nigeria civil service have you heard the government employed everyone that was shortlisted for interview?

Many people were shortlisted through their connection but at the end of the recruitment, the people with the strongest connection will get it.

Bro, Please don't argue with. They obviously don't know how recruitment work in Nigeria
In 2013/2014 some one close to me was shortlisted for MFA. First class student from UI. His name was announced on state TV channels and he attended the interview but never got the job. Even though he knew someone powerful in Jonathan's government.
If you are shortlisted, it doesn't guarantee you will get the job!These rule is meant for all jobs especially FG JOBS in Nigeria.

I just don't know why some people are bend on distracting others to loose hope? Is this Civil Defence recruitment? This is FCSC with presence of its MDAs in every state of the Federation and FCT. Know that this is a massive recruitment of about 10 or so MDAs. I think what we should be doing here is encouraging each others than just cooking stories. It only shows how unhappy some are just because they lost out in the process. Let's give hope to the hopeless. Rejoice with others today as tomorrow will be ur turn.

gaetano:

Spot on bro. Let them be relaxing thinking they've gotten the job.

I know i don't have connections in government, cos If I did i would use it well. For those of you that got shortlisted from your small connection, don't relax, just keep pushing. Some well connected folks here will not tell you the truth to increase their chances. So if una like make una relax while una mates still dey push extra button.

Lol! See this one mentioning encouraging others. You will go through the back door and get shortlisted for interview and come here and be shouting encouragement. Abeg who encouragement epp. Give me connection leave encouragement Jare.

Piece of advice!
If you're awaiting appointment letter or to be shortlisted in Batch B, don't follow some trash you see on this thread cos you will only end up driving urself crazy over and over again.
If you've been shortlisted you're getting the job! If you're awaiting Batch B, I wish you the best.There is high level of transparency in this recruitment exercise. Keep your hopes high and know the only thing that disqualifies you is if you were absent from the interview (that one sef no be interview na group discussion) or your course of study is not inline with the position.

Every one should be smart. Don't put all your eggs in FCSC's basket. Try and get employment in other MDAs.
For christ sake, most of the Ministries advertised pay just under 60k. While there are other juicy parastatals you can work with e.g NNPC, NPA etc.
If you are serious about getting an FG Job. I suggest you relocate to Abuja if possible.

Onyi101:
Anyone that says this recruitment is transparent needs a big lens to see the bigger picture. Nothing in Nigeria is ever transparent. Just make sure you are well connected ...Cos getting shortlisted doesn't garantee you the job. Good luck to all awaiting batch b list

stevedestiny:


Let me guess it's either you're on this thread awaiting Batch B or you're just here to discourage. I will get a lens when I need one and I obviously don't. But I'm yet to figure out what you're really driving at

Pushas:
Not Again. I just had to quote this.
High level of transparency in this recruitment? Are you fvcking serious?
Transparent indeed: Explains why we have relatives and kids of politicians on the list for MFA. Really explains why we have two Tinubus on Lagos MFA's list
and Lokpobiri (Minister for State Agriculture) on Bayelsa's MFA's list.
This explains why no one was deemed qualified from my political zone in my state.
Transparent indeed!

gaetano:


Someone is here pointing out the obvious and you are saying he is discouraging others. What's the worst possible things that would happen if the rest of us don't get the fcsc job. You area making it sound like it's the only job in Nigeria. Boi, be realistic for once

Onyi101:
Am not here to discourage anyone neither am I here to give anyone false hope #just saying it as it is.... Might seem harsh but it's d truth. I applied with a 1st class in international relations under MFA 4rm Imo state without any connections n I wasn't shortlisted. But am waiting on batch b and this time I used my connections will let you know when my name is shortlisted.

stevedestiny:


Bro this isn't even in the bracket of the best jobs in Nigeria (far from it). There are far better jobs just that some people like you and some others who think they are being realistic needs to be saved from themselves to know everything is possible. C'mmon!! Y'all should stop all these connection nonsense! and allow those in anticipation of been shortlisted to have a little glimpse of hope. (Some people think them get connection last last na people wey no sabi anybody go still get d job) I'm out jare!

lilfreezy:


I want to ask you one simple question please i want a straight forward ans and no insults. Did you get shortlisted without connection? Yes or no.

No long story.

Alright I will explain. I was once doubting why some states were left out for some positions and I got the answer when I went for the interview. The reason is they didn't allocate all slots and all positions to all states. Eg My zone has slots for auditor and some zones don't and vice versa. I was told that those who applied to alot of positions had the higher chance of been shortlisted. I won't argue about what I don't know (the Tinubus).
