Let's see how Monday goes... I strongly believe mails will still roll out Monday. Fingers crossed

Haven't been able to get over the whole disappointment but I'll be honest to tell you to forget this, there's nothing wrong with sending notifications till midnight of Friday, they didn't.
1050 is the number and if you know the number of successful applicants outside Nairaland that received success mails, you wouldn't be believing this.
Surest bet and hope but highly unlikely is that a courier service calls someone for APL delivery and the person didn't get the mail because of system glitches, but that one na miracle and probability is really really slim.
I'll suffice to say that ur source/connect is only trying to save face and not break the bad news. Ur source isn't wrong afterall, next week is letters dispatch week, so he's buying time with it. Bet me after Monday/Tuesday, ur source would hardly reply you.
It's not easy, tears even dey hard me sef but las las e don happen, e don happen. I just don't want to relive the whole experience, I still blame myself, finding it difficult to relay the news home set but one has to move on.

Rexmy:
In life, the very first thing we need to learn is how to manage disappointments, because they do not define us but build us for better opportunities.

I'm very happy to see some of us on this platform get the so much cherished APL. Accept my hearty congratulations, may the Almighty God bless the new job for you and not make it a test on you. Please, do not forget your humble beginning and be kind enough to always help those you find in need of help.

My advice to those of us that didn't get the job, I want you to know it's not because you don't worth it but perhaps, there's something big somewhere you need to discover. All you need do is to never give up developing yourself, you will achieve your soul aim someday... Don't relent your efforts. It could be very hurtful to lose at this stage. Nonetheless, it's a sign that you've got what it takes to compete for the best. Please repackage yourself, apply for international scholarships and advance your skills. Don't discourage yourself based on the cost of some proficiency exams you need to take but give considerations to the afterward benefits.

^{Imagine, having a First Class first degree and an MSc. with a Distinction grade in a rare but relevant course with no success mail yet.} It's my wish to work in the oil and gas industry and eventually go back into academics after retirement but perhaps, Lecturing is just the best for me at the moment. So, if nothing comes eventually, I will just continue building my career as an Academic and be the best I could. Who knows, someday I could be a top consultant to an IOC.

I wish everyone good luck in the future endeavors and I hope we all achieve the best in life and the hereafter.

Teaser4, Chasteguy, Geniusola, Larride, and all... You guys are great and I know the future holds the best for you guys... Success!

To all EH guys... May the Almighty God count you among the successful ones in this recruitment exercise.

Jarus... You are indeed a great man and I pray Almighty Allah continue to bless you.

Congrats bro.I just want to ask if this nnpc recruitment is every year or not and does age requirement really matters

everyone is saying i know one person who got the apl, even those who claimed to have gotten can't even drop evidence of the supposed success mail... Nigerians as usual you all have been conned.

Like 9 able bodied people liked this comment. So 9 people have similar thoughts. I genuinely hope yall find closure cos mehnn. Some of us have moved on a long time ago by finding happiness in something else. I desperately hope you do too.

Bros come outside let's talk.... APL is everywhere and there's nothing you can do about it. Now take your miserable life to another thread, or better still shove it where the sun doesn't shine

meelee123:
God bless my future husband as you've blessed Oga Jarus o. So that I won't have to cry over nnpc again. To hear that someone can reject nnpc is surprising to me.

Which state are u based? I’m in Kd. Oya lemme know if you are close-by make I shoot my shot.

Morning Comrades and happy Sunday. Plz if u have any contact in HR or ITD, ask them to help you check ur name on the list, I know of a certain lady dt didn’t receive mail bt after giving her number to the HR person, she told her dt her naMe was there. So it’s possible they are still going to contact more.. This is not to raise anyone’s hope please. Bt there’s really no harm in checking coz hopefuls from last recruitment checked wen letters started dropping. Maybe it’ll ease one’s mind In order to move on.

qwertyboss:

I will try bro, l studied Civil Engineering.

I studied Civil Engineering too and since I finished NYSC in 2016, I have gone from smoking fish to teaching to working in two engineering firms.
Teaching was easier as it was less stressful and the pay is fair compared to the 2 engineering companies I have worked with, but the experiences i have gathered are invaluable.

BlackHummer:


He got, but I didnt get though. Happy for him considering his state. You can imagine that the guy was even feeling bad for me. I told him I am quite resilient and will move on. To be honest i tried my best to contain my pain on missing this job. Couldnt even login yesterday as looking though the thread fills my heart with much sorrow. But I am recovering very fast...

Tbh, this recruitment had some merit i must say. I can only imagine what would be the look on my friend's uncles faces that were mocking him

Cheer up boss. It gets better from here. Your friends story should encourage you to take charge of your life and create your own wealth. When life throws us lemons, na to begin make lemonade. Your day will come. Your glory will shine. You will make it happen. Maximum respect

Joe82834:


Even getting these small companies isn't easy. Tried that and nothing still.. Finished service since 2014 and kept teaching till 2017. Got to a point I had to stop as teaching was adding no experience in my field. I got frustrated at traveling for interviews then without getting the jobs to an extent I'll see employment opportunities online and don't bother to go for it. Now local man is past the age for GT. It's really a tough one but seeing some posts on here, I'll pick up from where I stopped and continue to bliv I'll get something good.

Please do pick up bro, I have also been frustrated like you, I have travelled for tests and interviews so much that I don't tell my family members about it anymore. I wanted to quit, but I met a senior in late 2017 who encouraged me to keep trying, he will send me job adverts and everything, I kept trying, I left teaching and struggled my way back to engineering. I kept leaving my comfort zone and learning, this was actually my last shot at a GT job because of my age and then APL showed.

The senior who encouraged me also had a similar experience,but just between 2018 and now, he had worked for GE and now in TOTAL. Bottom line is never give up, I will advise you to get a masters degree to boost the age requirement. NEVER GIVE UP BRO

Congratulations!! To the successful ones.
All successful GTs received notifications, so don't bother yourselves with fake liars.

EHs, perhaps it's time to commend and respond.

Ihategirls:
My sister was among the 1050 GTs selected

And she got it on merit without knowing anybody

I think this recruitment was the most transparent in all their recruitments!

Then again, a top source in NNPC Abuja gave us an information that they wanna release some kinda supplementary batch b list

With 850 names

Go and pray ooo

My brother got the mail...I just heard yesterday. I am overwhelmed with joy, we didn't know anyone, we had even written it off. Thank God!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhh.......Finally!! some decorum in this thread.

First of all, a hearty congratulations to the successful few here. I must say, i am quite impressed with the way a lot of individuals who were not successful are handling the situation maturely. Know this for a fact, it is never the end of the world. Where there is life, there is hope. And do know what your best friend would be now? TIME. It heals all wounds. A lot of seemingly brilliant minds here will go further and do a lot of exploits., this i know. With determination, hard work and prayers, you will look back at this thread some years from now and laugh saying 'Is this really the job i was so obsessed about' There are circa 20-30 companies in Nigeria that are miles better than NNPC in terms of pay, allowances, career growth et al. Heck some of you would even be great entrepreneurs that would partner with NNPC on major contracts in the future. So cheer up, life continues and someday this will all be part of a success story.

Like all job threads here on nairaland, less than 10% of the populace almost usually succeed until the end. I;d expect the same for the EHs. I know a lot of EHs are currently engaged and the disappointment on missing out may not be highly felt like the GTs. I wish the EHs recruitment comes to a positive conclusion and it is handled maturely the way the GTs did. Regardless of the outcome, life is beautiful and pleasant to those who see it as such. I hope someday, every sees it as such.

Peace.

Wish everyone the very best.

Reasonably True!!!

When will DHL start to call?

And will the names of successful applicants still be published in the newspaper?

It is quite hard to believe this ugly but seemingly fair development. What could have gone wrong or what is it I didn't do right?

In reminiscence, there was no question asked me that I didn't adequately tackle. I got applaud from my panel and they specifically told me I had done well that I speak persuasively and fluently and I will be best fitted into the corporate communications Division of the Corporation.

They congratulated me but however cautioned me to pray hard that nothing happens to my name that the list was going to move to another committee set up to make final selection... What did that committee not find right in me that I was dropped?

Anyone with useful ideas on how this was done should kindly respond to a brother plz as am so devastated right now. Don't know how to break the news to my ageing mother yet...#Bitter Heart#

More emails will be sent on Monday but not that early. At least from midday. The prayer of those not notified on friday should be if they will be among the lucky ones tomorrow.

If after tomorrow you don't see any mail please move on oh. That's all I can say for now. Happy Sunday.

I still believe that all mails have been sent, maybe we should be expecting a regret mail by Monday that would have been the best option because people will move on easily some people will still be hoping for a success mail if no mail drops on Monday.

Give us regret mail. Smiles!

NNPC don't send regret mails. They rather keep you kwayet

As much as I’d love to receive email on Monday cos even my connect kept wondering how my name wasn’t on the list as he/she monitored the recruitment closely on my behalf, I seriously doubt that an organization that could send out interview invite to allegedly over 9000 people at once would have issues sending to 1050 people in a day (however late in the day it was). For my sake and many others I pray public service laziness made them send the notifications in batches because it was late in the day on Friday, but in reality I’m pretty sure they sent to all already.

How I missed this opportunity remains a mystery to me as I’m not an average candidate and I believe my interview went very well and my connect should have been the final nail to sealed the deal but oh well, Allah knows best.

Skudi:
Some people are boasting for more mails to be sent on Monday cos they believed they performed well during the interview stage.
It seems they forgot to acknowledge the fact that quota system played a dirty role thereby limiting their chances of being selected.
Grief now so that you won't have season 2 of d grief.
Move on.....

This can't be more true. 1050 ÷ 36
That's 29 people per state. Imagine the population of people expecting per state. 29 isn't so much. Many people are bound to be dissapointed tbh
