Thank you very much...

Please, is there any of the programming language that I can start practicing with using a Phone?

Also, can you please list the specifications a laptop should have that can comfortably handle any programming stuff?

You can learn with SoloLearn app. It has a lot of languages you can learn on the go.

Any decent computer with decent specs can be used to code.

Its genuine dear, just apply o, coz no one knows the one that will click. I've done mine and acknowledged also. Hope to hear you've completed yours too

New GTs taken, do not panic about whatever you see in the appointment letters. That’s how government employment letters are. You will only see consolidated salary and other allowances in the letter which are not high figures usually, but you can never know how much they will pay you. However, what they eventually pay you is often higher than the values quoted in the letter due to some other ‘ghost’ allowances. So, just exercise patience until you are paid.

ItzNas:
Got the letter via FedEx this evening.

Which state? FCT?

I know people are still grieving. I hope this joke didn’t come too early, and I apologise if it does.
Those that returned extra transport allowance to King Anyam and Farouk but didn’t get APL, how do you guys feel? Let it out.

This inspired me. Thank you!

Jarus:
I have read comments on this thread that almost got me into tears.

The accounts of those that did not get the jobs are very touching. I was almost moved to tears by some of them. I can imagine the pressure, the expectation, the hope.

It’s just how life is.

It’s not the end of life. In my final year in Ife in 2006, I had a classmate that could barely pay the N17k school fees. He struggled to raise the money till the last day. He was my good friend. Very brilliant guy (first class actually) but from a very humble home.

When we graduated and started job hustling, anytime he came to Lagos, he used to squat with me in my brother’s house. Sometimes, I would even be the one to “dash” him N500 for transport fare back to his state (in the SW).

He wrote the test of Accenture and they said he didn’t pass.

We both wrote the test of an investment management firm in 2006 (we started job hunting even before NYSC) immediately after graduation. I got the job. He didn’t get it.

His morale was affected. Everyone knew he was more brilliant than I was. His confidence was being affected but he soldiered on.

Guess what? In 2008, few weeks after out NYSC, he got job in an IOC that is perceived to be the best place to work in Nigeria.

That changed his life and that of his family and his generation.

The last time we saw, in 2016, he just “warmed” his new house in Lekki which cost him over N60m. I don’t have that despite starting earlier than him. That’s aside his house in his hometown.

This was someone that was rejected by Accenture and Vetiva, small firms.

So guys, NNPC rejection is not the end of life. We have all been rejected by one employer or the other at one point in life. I failed GTB test in 2007 or so (first time I’m saying this anywhere). Today, I probably earn more than a senior manager in GTB. If I had passed the job test in 2007, I would not even have risen to become a manager in GTB today given the multilayered bank career ladder.

So guys, the race is not for the swiftest as the Christians say. And as we Muslims say, what will hit you will not miss you.

Not heard anything but will not be surprised. NLNG last recruited en masse in 2015.

Jarus:

...and successful Candidates of that exercise resumed 2 years later in 2017. You can imagine the mental and emotional torture

OgidiOlu3:


Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement. This thread isn't a pity party. The purpose of the thread is to get info about NNPC and what working there is like. I feel for those that didn't get in. Heck, I have friends that didn't get in but it is not the end of the world. We all have our stories.
I wrote here some time ago that I almost got a remote job that was gonna pay me $30k to $40k per year. That's over 1m every month, way above what NNPC would dream of paying GTs. Plus, I would actually learn a lot and grow too. I was very sad. In fact, it was one of the saddest days ever. All my plans vanished just like that but that experience taught me a lot.

My advice is this:

1. Get IT skill. It's one of the cheapest and easiest skills to learn. You can learn ANY IT skill that will get you a decent job online for free.

2. After getting this skill, apply to jobs abroad too. Honestly, I barely apply for Naija jobs. There are tons of jobs abroad. Now, I have two job offers, one in Naija and the other abroad. I am still deciding which to choose based on a number of things. My friend just got one in Norway.

PS: The IT skill I advised is because IT is the field that can easily get you jobs abroad. And there are jobs in abundance so if you're good, you will get one. IT is growing every day so it can't be saturated.

Godspeed!

Can I pm you?

Xanderlex:

What figures were in the letter that was shared?

No figures seen. I’m just saying. I’m not GT.

Thank you. I want a scholarship for a chemistry related course. I don't really want Europe cos that was the only place I was trying before. I got to understand that scholarships are very difficult to get in Europe because they are more interested with the profit, so they easily give admission but with the scholarship giving bodies it is toooo competitive.

kentoski:


I totally understand your pain, I was specially pained by this NNPC stuff, not because I was not called, because I'm relatively in a good place....but the thought of apparently not being good enough, despite knowing that you should be.

What scholarships are you seeking for? maybe I could help with clues, information, good motivation letter writing and all, if you want....could better your chances. Momentswithbren on twitter too like someone already told you is a very good place to be too.
