Interviewed on the 6th, 12pm.
I can't fuckn remember my panel, never noticed there was any panel nos doh.

They intro emselves when i entered, i was asked to sit before that doh.
The Chief Panelist asked me to Introduce myself, part of my intro was that, i had a brief stint with the Lagos State Safety Commission & then currently working with Lagos State blablabla, So he said, having worked with lagos state safety commission before, now Give me (5) safety tips you would advice a worker in a workplace. I could only mutter (4), without making a fuss about it, told him, I'll stop at the (4).
A woman, an hajia, asked me, if i have ever had a disagreement with my boss before, i said yes and then i find one Zobo give em, she vehemently asked after my narration, that, In all my story, i sha had a disagreement with my boss, i affirmed YES and then she scribbled something on her note.
One other man, asked me what cracking blablablabla is, this was my response "not that i didn't do it in chemistry, but right now, i can't remember, not to keep other candidates waiting long, I'll pass, that said, i am open to knowledge, so you could help me sir" one of the ogas nodded and told the Man(who asked me d qst) to help out, the Nigerianess in him kicked in by saying "No oooo oga, why i go tell am"
The next panelist, asked if i have ever been stressed, I said Yes, and then i gave him another Zobo.
The man, who asked me the cracking & fractional distillation qst, later asked me "what are the impacts of petroleum on the environment", gave him answers to the best of my knowledge..

I was asked, if i had a qst to ask em.
this was exactly my qst "God willing i was choosen, going forward, in the next 5 yrs, what would you expect to have been my accomplishment", The man explained what i already knew, i.e The GT program blablablabla

I was told, the interview had officially ended, it was then, my CV & documents were checked & retained, the man congratulated me on my 1st Class.
and then i take my leave.

I studied Envtl. Health @ HND & Envtl. Mgt & Toxicology @BSc., if you're wondering what course i was biased in.

On the CBT
The qsts i encountered, i wouldn't have had difficulties with em, even when i was in JSS3, it was later that i realize that, the qsts were random, some peoples face were grim & i be like, i didn't even use a calculator or do any workings, i guess pure luck, those who said simple qsts are usually the tricky one's, are not outrightly wrong, the tricky part comes from being overjoyed, as always, the moment you're overjoyed, you're over blind too, which implies, you're prone to simple oversights, until you come out & realize, you've fumbled for real.

On the alert...
I received alert first, the lady that interviewed before me too, have received, we both came from Lagos.
Whatever decision comes final from the mgt of NNPC, its alright be me, people like me, presently dey comfortable, i just want to be more, should NNPC fail to yield, their loss, I have my sight on several scholarships (full or partial) & heck, there are countries where Edu. is cheap (Austria, Germany, Italy), I have had previous offers from those countries.
I know plenty here, are comfortable too either working privately or for the Govt., We just have to hold our heads high & remain focus. funniest, na play play, I take apply ooo, heck, i was even reluctant to go write the CBT sef, hence why i was the last 9am that appeared that day.
Problem here, is that, most folk's here suffer from different complexes, the intimidated one's, the subjugated, the success infuriated one's etc, heck one guy even said as far as Jarus & Mosgoon never collect alert, his conviction of Non-Alertees are favored remains Olivine and I was wondering what will be his position, if Jarus & Mosgoon come out to say, that they've received alert. lolsss...

Like one of my Big Bro who left NNPC for AIRTEL will say, Na Alubarika matter, in his word's, He knew, several folks working in NNPC, whose lives were miserable, they live in peasant luxury.

The thread have been fun, i had LMAO several times.

I wish everyone success fellaz.

When did Nig joined OPEC, I wrongly chose 1972, the guy beside me who had made several effort to cheat, saw my answer and corrected me. He seemed to be so sure about it. So I reluctantly changed my answer to 1971.He later asked for 4 answers in place of the one he told me.
As an Accounting student, I was familiar with all the history and the Mathematics questions, so I did my best and left the exam hall.

Same thing here. I think it's the same panel because they interviewed me and two other guys (marine transport and something economics). I studied Fisheries and Aquaculture.
After being asked to introduce myself in 2 minutes, the next questions were from marketing (Define marketing in your terms, List 7 Ps of marketing and how's marketing related to NNPC operations). Then came the situational, behavioural and HSE questions. I don't know why they never asked me anything in my field or what I can offer to NNPC..
In all, God's grace will speak for us..
PS: Did you take note of the Panel no?

mathology5431:
Greatest Uites oooo.....yeah we served at kano for sometimes together, he later moved to Ogun....

ChasteGhuy:
June or July?

Urbanist2050:
The first question I was asked after the chief panelist interrupted my introduction was

"What is Mosquito Control"?

That question shook me.

I didn't know what my concern with Mosquito is or should be. I got jittery but managed to answer in my own way.

How many of us were asked about Mosquito?

Edicoco:
Hi, i sent u a pm yesterday, please reply.

CsRockefeller:
Does NNPC have any bias against Bankers (Ex or Current)?

During my interview, in the course of answering one of the situational questions, I used a scenario when I was still in the Bank, suddenly, they all exclaimed, "you've worked in the Bank!!"........ I was so shocked and scared, thought of withdrawing the statement, but I said that was many years ago.

ceemaaan:
GT- ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
I was interviewed ON the 2nd.
"Young man, you look like a footballer" was the first statement from one of the panelists. As if he was waiting to hear me say yes, he continued; your country was defeated by Algeria. With a smile on my face, I replied; our team was defeated. That led to further conversation after which I was asked to settle down for the real interview... LOL.
Who is.... my full name... ? After giving them a very brief answer, I was asked about the Nigerian Electricity structure and where/why we are facing challanges and how to fix these problems. The next question was on safety: your CV shows that you are always on the field. Are there some safety measures you usually observe? They even helped me as I tried to talk about some of these safety measures. Your CV says u are hardworking, what does it mean to be hardworking? I made reference to some volunteer jobs I did in order to achieve my goals. I was then asked to talk briefly on any formal report I've done and finally, to tell them why I wanted to work with the NNPC.
Deep inside I know I didn't perform the way I would on a very good day. But grace makes me very optimistic. AUGUST IS COMING
Like if you Rep the FCT

Biggerboi:
God factor my broda i was asked about how i once priortised like four different problems at a time and solved them the way i related that question to our cbt exams and explained that the exams was into different sections maths english current affairs and they are of equal priorities so i priortised the sections that will take lesser time first i.e current affairs english and shapes before going back to the mathematics that require more time so i was able to answer atleast 55 questions correctly instead of starting with the mathematics that will take more time and i might end up not finishing before my time elapses...the woman was soo impressed but me sef i dont even know how i did it on a normal day i wont have been able to answer that question no matter how smart u are u really need God
And i was one of those notherners that rocked native too oo

Kevlala:
Nothing of such. No bias I am guessing it is probably your course of study that may have triggered that response.

Maybe just wondered what u were doing in the bank.

Ginalex:
Great
