Exactly. Most people in NNPC get in without knowing anybody.

I was recruited during the last campaign back in 2012 without knowing anyone. I have many friends and coursemates as well who got in that year without knowing anyone. (I have since left so really don't have any 'insider' news)

Prepare well for the interview and pray for a bit of luck. I remember seeing my interview score, and how it was graded. The interview usually appears easy and most people leave the interview panel feeling good but not everyone will eventually make it. So be prepared.

Over 500 was recruited during the 2012 recruitment. Hopefully, more will be recruited this year. Every state will be represented.

Hi xfire,

Hebrews 11: 1-2
Hebrews 11: 6
The Bible chapters above talks about faith in God.
It says: To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, and to be certain of the things we cannot see. It further says: No one can please God without faith.

I tap into your faith. Nothing is impossible with God. Though as it stands, interviews will end by the 12th of July. If no one has received invite for 10,11 and 12, then.......

Na So!!!

is there any applicant who did cbt at future gate model school beside pisand guest inn, nasarawa State that has gotten the invite? I rep 10am. no invite till date and I've not seen testimonies from there

I did the cbt at future gate model school but i haven't received an invite.

ReliableMe05:
What about the ladies please? What are their options? Thanks

Well, just think of any corporate wear a lady could wear. It is not a fashion parade. Just look corporate and presentable. Moreover, as a lady try to avoid putting on something provocative.

CsRockefeller:
Good morning house.

Pls, what will be the appropriate outfit to put on? I heard a suit but I don't have any, I am thinking of getting a nice black trousers and a nice white shirt then maybe with a sweater or cardigan to go with it, with a tie inside.

Does anyone think that's OK?

Or, I should rather, get a suit.

If you don't have a suite a descent corporate attire as you described is fine. The cardigan should be plain or almost plain.

Thanks a lot

daviscoal:

Please help us with information on what to read in preparation for the interview. I have many questions in my head like:
Is it true that most of the questions come from candidate's CV?
What are the other questions that they do ask? .............................

Here is what I can say on a public forum:

1. It was a panel interview. Can't remember the exact number that interviewed me but they weren't less than 4.

2. The questions are mainly personality based questions, in many cases focusing on your CV.

3. Be well dressed and read about NNPC. Your dressing and knowledge about NNPC will be tested and graded.

4. On the pay, I'm not sure it is right to reveal nnpc pay package on a public forum. But all I can say is that don't be deceived by what you see on the offer letter. They only include basic salary on the employment letter. Overall, the pay package for non-management staff is fairly good but certainly not the best in the world. For management staffs, the pay package is maaaad.

5. They did refund the TP (for all candidates) but it was after several months. For those that used Abuja address in their application or CV, you will receive little or no TP refund.

Believe me, you will almost regret using Abuja address if you are successful and they call for new hire orientation. *lips sealed*

Thank you xfire.

God bless you, dont mind that hungry Muntula Geexclusive, looking for who to collect N400 from. If he is hungry, he should talk, we will open GofundMe for him abi her.

Greedy hungry people looking for who to exploit.

Pls, Is there any EH, procurement supervisor that got the invite?

Kindly specify your state of origin too.

Thanks

As the interview stage starts, I remember that I was like you in 2011 and as a commoner, I made it as EH in 2012.

Many will get in without knowing anyone.

Just be competent in whatever you are doing, dress well and be confident.

Market yourself very well when they ask you “May we meet you” and above all study your CV well and highlight all your achievements.

Your focus should not be on money but adding value to the corporation and by extension Nigeria and be patient.

NNPC is an employer of choice with human feelings.

For me, I am 100% dedicated to NNPC as the corporation has added value to me and my family.

I wish you all the best.

Your headache should not be on placement now.

Concentrate on passing the interview.

HR has competent staff to place you as your CV demands.

You are not the first graduate with that degree already working in the corporation.

What if they ask him during the interview where he thinks he would fit in?

Thanks. In comparison with ExxonMobil, total and shell for GT (Mech engr) . How does total nnpc pay compare? I might have to choose later on most likely before I get nnpc offer. Please respond or give an indication.. Thanks. Is the 4m upfront purported earlier on the thread near accurate?

Abbasumaru:
This message is for those of us that have not received invitation mail yet.


From a very reliable source,
The interview is batch by batch, so the next batch will receive their invitation mail next week by the special grace of God. So we should not give up and wait until next week.

Thanks

so I heard too from someone working there

let's hope and see

I'm currently leaning to nnpc than others cos of the federal government factor

Lol

At entry level, the IOCs generally pay much more than NNPC. A lot of NNPC staff will move to IOCs if given the slightest chance.

The same can not be said at management level (NNPC package for management staff is crazy), just that it takes about 18 years to climb from entry-level to management staff, that's if you are lucky to scale through to management level.

Okay. Thanks so much. I don't need it to be very close, just not too far apart.
I just sent a pm. I know you might be busy but would really appreciate a response. I have just a short question I can't share on here

TheSociopath:


Do you have an idea of the timeframe for the payment

Which payment is that?

Hi @uau, thanks so much for chipping in.

I want to ask you a vital question, though it is personal.

I am a recent graduate (read: no experience) but I have been blogging and freelancing for at least 5 years. I am thinking it might not be that relevant in my CV for NNPC. But I still wanted to ask if I should add it or not. Will really appreciate if I get answer to this question.
