Long post guys......

Hi guys I'm impatiently waiting for aptitude tests and interview. As I'm here I'm ready to start work tomorrow lol.

Anyways with regards the number of spots no one can be certain but it's definitely not 3,000. I follow the ncdmb page on Twitter and they are very present there. They've tweeted a lot about job creation sometimes they say 3,000 sometimes it's 10,000 but you have to read well to understand that they mean using their agency and the collaborations they have with oil companies, the trainings they do (not graduate trainee), things like the NLNG Train 7 project that will soon commence and other avenues to create those thousands of jobs.

But as for this particular recruitment I heard from a little bird who is connected to the MPR that it's not a high intake (he said maybe 50 but then he didn't specify whether for just GT or EH or both). Another thing you need to factor in is that all of this I speculation. They may hire 50, 100, 150, or 200 nobody knows exactly except the ES and his people but definitely not 3,000. Let's not use the 17storey building and be deceived Ncdmb works hard but as an agency if you go through their info on what they do they don't need staff strength of up to 3,000.

When they did the handover ceremony of the building from the company that constructed it to the ES and co, they tweeted it live and some people asked questions and the ES and the agencies twitter handle also replied. The implication I got is that the whole 17stories will not just be used by NCDMB (wetin dem dey do with the space ni). Some of it will be leased/ rented out as they have to make revenue off it. Things like their 1k seater conference room will also definitely be rented out on a steady. So don't use the building as a benchmark to gauge the number of staff they need. It's not like they have offices across all the 36 states.

Also with regards to recruitment process being through merit and connect I've been seeing here. Just to add my two cents. I believe ncdmb is somewhat credible as an agency and will honour both federal character and give some opportunity for merit to take place but don't be deceived na still Nigeria we dey and connect will DEFINITELY be used. Presidency, MPR, a couple other people directly involved and even the ES will have people that they will use connect to give slots to. The only difference I think is that connect usage might not be very intense and mainstream like other agencies mostly because news of the recruitment is not
1) widespread
2) I don't think ncdmb has dabaru yet to the point of selling slots, major key people will just be told to send their people they want employed.
3) I feel lots of people that don't really know what's up look down on ncdmb especially because it's in Yenagoa and it's not loud like other petroleum parastatals so pray all the connect people don't want to move to Yenagoa as it would reduce the pressure and give more space to people on merit

So I believe that merit will still be honoured at least to a decent degree but don't go in thinking that because it's NCDMB connect will not be used to influence it but still don't despair and pray that you pull through and if you have major connect in the petroleum space, goodluck to you.


Me I'm just itching to get it over with (exam and interview) so I can know my fate and move on to other hustle if this one doesn't favour me.

I hoped the story was fake when I heard it, It's actually from a staff.

Abokii8:
They would not have advertised if they were to recruit less than 100 people. They would simply seek for a waiver from FCC and share the slots. But fingers crossed

NekkyCee:
Okay. I'll send what I have.

Mlayidi:

I learnt that they are going to recruit 3000 people.

NekkyCee:
Hello!

Please see attached materials which I believe would serve as a guide in preparation for the upcoming CBT, and facilitate a good understanding on how to solve GMAT Questions.
Also included is a copy of some current affairs questions and answers.

Happy reading and best of luck!

Kind regards

Please my fellow guys,
What is the difference between shl test and GMAT test?
Which one seems more complicated and time consuming.

I have an upcoming test and the recruiter is asking I go through shl test format.

I just need some guidance on how to really scale through though.I think Gmat is more complicated

Great feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks ...

My opinion:

SHL mathematics usually has more of charts, tables, statistics, etc. It's usually used for recruitments for finance, consulting companies, etc. It could sometimes be a bit difficult if you don't have a mathematical background.

GMAT is more of normal/general english and maths, logical reasoning, etc.

For SHL format, check out the PWC grad trainee thread.

GMAT is usually used by Dragnet and most other recruitment companies. You can download GMAT past questions online.

I personally found SHL easier and more predictable. However, it could be more time-consuming than GMAT.

With sufficient practice pf past questions, you'll get used to some shortcuts that may help you manage time better.
