I only had joke with one of the typist of d panel before entering for d interview that one was busy typing all through my interview session and after my interview we then enter another phase of joke before I left


Though God help me
When I was receiving my original document from d chief panelist I quickly stand up to received it from him
I don't care to know if it is against ethics of interview both my parent always teach me to stand up when receiving any item from an elderly person



I will not forget the last word from d chief panelist thank you for making my day
Though am not a comedian

Sorry Sir, which original document. I thought our documents were filtered before entry to the panelist and all our originals were given to us.

Exactly, simple questions are traps. Whenever I find myself in that kind of situations I make sure I am double certain of my options.

And again when people were talking about the nice nature of the interviewers, I just laugh.... Those people in nnpc are so smart, they use the homely attitudes to disarm the multitude and you will be saying nonsense with confidence while they cheer you on.

Well, I had a tough panel and I was humbled enough to allow them teach me what I don't know.

A lot of people are on this table. Please don’t shake it. Almost everyone will tell you their interview went well.

My own, after sitting down and all the introduction and acknowledgment from the panel, the chairman told me they will be asking questions based on my accounting background, behavioral and situational questions and also HSE. Funny enough, I wasn’t asked to introduce myself.

The first man that asked me question, he asked me the impact of taxation on the Nigerian economy, as I was talking he was nodding but I noticed he wanted me to say more, luckily the panel members were distracted so they weren’t paying attention to what I was saying except the man that asked the question, when the panel chairman asked the man if he has asked his question, the man said NO and asked me the tax provision as it relates to NNPC as a corporation and its employees. I started talking about PPT, CIT and PIT but the man keep giving me signals to go deeper so I started mentioning their percentage, while I was saying the PIT percentage, I saw the man giving me thumbs up and the panel chairman told me it’s okay that they know I know it. From there, the other questions just flow smoothly till the HSE question where I was told to mention 6 things and I was only able to mention 5.

To God be my glory.

I don’t know how everyone was saying the test was easy. The test I did had lots of history/current affairs with IT questions while men them were studying maths and verbal reasoning seriously.

I remember they asked me:
1. Capital of Swaziland
2. How many states Murtala Muhammad created
3. Which year the national anthem was composed
4. Which year the Nigerian flag was redesigned
5. Who was the first Northern premier (The option includes Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello)
5. Full meaning of https

Questions like that are very tricky and it’s even easy to fail unless you are very sure about the answer. The way everyone was saying the test was cheap, you would have thought most will score 85 and above. At the end of the day only 9k plus out of 60,000 which is not even u to 20% of those that wrote the test scored above 70. Yeye Dey smell.

Looks like we wrote the same thing

Give yourself a knock.

The person that allocate me to my panels put my original document on top of my photocopy Copley with CV inside my NNPC file

So they collected it from me when I get there but after d interview they return d original back to me which was done by the chief panelist

Gbam you have landed. Oga you are spot on, my pastor uses that style you will be saying nonsense o he will be smiling and nodding his head. He said it's to encourage the speakers. For me panel... Those men face strong especially the chairman he just dey roll chair dey call their names to ask questions. But I enjoyed two men there they were observant and attentive, others aside the chairman just face their paper dey write o

I like my panel. Whenever I talked off point.... They make sure they rephrase and target what they really want me to say. I must say I appreciate their frankness and the way they always call me back whenever I sound unclear.

That question concerning CDM was a dangerous question

You were saved by the chairman for asking the man weda his question has been answered. If not you for no know wetin jam you for that side and be claiming you scattered everything after interview. Nice one you know what you are doing.

I once had an interview with one of the new owners of the split Gencos.

The panel was made up of many of those old staff of PHCN that the new owner inherited when they bought the company, they were asking such basic interview questions and everyone of them was just nodding at my answers like I was Obama delivering a State of the Union speech.

My liver was so shook after d interview that I reached out 2 my big cousin who is a snr manager in the same Genco, after d interview 2 tell him I was interviewed for an Asst. Mgr position and I wasn't sure of my performance cos the questions were sooooo cheap. He spoke with their HR mgr and found out I was one of the best performers. I still couldn't bliv until I saw their offer letter.

Sometimes, when u feel the questions are cheap, they are really cheap. Especially when u are interviewed by civil servants who have little or no professional skills/experience with conducting interviews.

Guys! don't allow the fact that you were bombarded with plenty questions deceive you were identified as a good candidate based on CBT score. These guys are humans and their attitude and mood changes. In my current job, when I got to the stage of interview with executive management, I didn't spend up to 10min before the interview ended. However, I eventually got the job. But guess what? after joining the company, nobody could believe my interview with the CEO was that brief and simple. A lot of my new colleague shared different interview experience with the CEO and how dramatic and a bully he can be.

Fast forward to my NNPC interview; my panel was one of the panels even the HR were complaining that it was taking too long. It was the one of the panels for Engineers, but guess what, my interview was as brief as it could get.

Summary:
* I entered and greeted the panel and they responded with friendly smile.
* Panel chairman apologized for keeping us late into the night that it is not normal for an interviewee who is already tensed to be kept waiting for that long. However, as he was apologizing, I in turn cut in and also show appreciation for their hardwork for having to stay that late to conduct the interview. We all got relaxed
* Then they all introduced themselves of which I responded: Nice to meet you sir! after each intro. It was a panel of 6 persons (5 interviewers + the secretary). The panel chairman na Northerner.
* next question, in 5min, please introduce yourself. He was very strict in the timing as once he realized I was adding superfluous items to my introduction, he quickly cuts in and reminded me of my time.
* Then comes a question from my field: assuming I was involved in a project but later realized that a particular column in the building after construction was failing or cracking. What would I do? I gave my answer without hesitation and he nodded and said he was glad I could remedy the situation.
* Next question from him was that I should give a run down on how I would go about executing a project of for example, the NNPC towers from start. I gave my response and I received positive vibes back from them.
* Then the other panelist asked me to name the hazards I could find in a typical construction site and give control measures. Luckily, I have had construction experience in the execution of a gas plant project as my first job. I knew quite a lot about HSE which I delivered.
* Then comes the situational question from one of the panelist that as a supervisor in a team; what would I do to move staff from a position of non-performance to better performance. Luckily as well, I had taken some courses on organizational behaviour. I was able to give some academic response as well.
* Eventually, panel chairman thanked me and said I could ask a question. I asked a question on what was the difference between NETCO and one of the operating units in NNPC which seemed to have overlapping functions. They explained extensively and we had some good conversation.
* Panel chairman gave a closing remark and said you would hear from us.

This is for posterity.....o. I believe I performed well but I am honestly and sincerely praying for God's grace

Those who. Are not in oil field will not understand people like me God just help me with d answer from above
