Process have received offers, Piping have received offers as well. That is as much as I know. I reckon Economists & Finance would be receiving offers between now and the new year

Wow, congrats to them.
Please for those that received offer letters how long wear they given before they resume? Asin how much time to resign from their current place of work

Pl. I have replied you

eunikgirl:
You can't prepare for the questions because they are personality questions.

Pls do you mean those ones that say "Tell us about a time when you did so so so.. " or those ones that will ask you to choose I agree, I agree strongly, I disagree etc

Any one that is yet to get regret mail after the first technical exams, it will come. This recruitment process will most likely end this month. We were told during structured interview last week Friday, that the outcome will be made known to us by the weekend. Which they did. Those that were successful will be in Lagos tomorrow Wednesday for the Psychological. After that, the final panel interview will be on 28th Nov in PH, and medicals will the the next day. So if you haven't gotten any response, just get your mind out of it.

Please what kind of questions are asked in the psychological interview

Bricks92:
Guys please let's join the group, our number is building and the synergy is on.

Please can you drop the group link here. I am trying to send you a message but one default email is showing, and I can't edit it.

1. Please are phones allowed into the interview hall, or one will have to keep it out like during the CBT?
2. Also will we be allowed to take in things like awards, incase they ask one to prove the awards he claims to have on his CV or it won't be necessary?

BMedia:
Yes I finished at about 5.

I was last in my batch though, but I'm giddy with excitement as I received compliments from the leader of the panel.

Jarus God bless you indeed, your coaching helped in more ways than one. Highly recommended.

Best advice I can give is to remain CALM (besides they are really friendly), speak with confidence/calm pace, and understand the oil industry well.

Please can you share the kind of questions you were asked

geektrovert:
I did mine today. A bit of info to help you guys coming later.

Review your CV very well. Basically, your CV is your interview. GTs, If you cannot honestly defend what's on your CV, change it now (you can now..no one has seen it yet) to a simpler one and make six copies. Lol, CV is just one part of the interview. So, this is no "expo". But your CV determines the tone of your interview.

Prepare for situational/behavioral questions. At least one. IFTTT, if this happens, what will you do... this particular question is almost different for everyone. So don't expect to be asked what your friend was asked.

Prepare for one NNPC related question. It is different based on which group is interviewing you. It might be..why should we hire you? What can you do for NNPC? How do you contribute to the vision of the company? Where do you fit in? Anything like these...so don't cram anything.

Almost everyone started the interview with "tell us about yourself/can we meet you?" This question looks simple, but it is not. Google how to answer this question under 2 minutes without blabbering.

Prepare for standard interview questions... conflict resolution/teamwork/leadership scenario, etc...Just prepare like it is another standard interview.

Be calm, and say your mind. Structure your responses well, a little bit of fact, a little bit of cockiness...

...............

PS: Sharing these tips does not reduce my chance in any way. God helps us all!! Peace out!

God bless you my brother. You have the job already. This your postscript is the gospel for today

I really don't know why some people hoarding questions. What will be yours will be yours. If you followed ptdf interview thread, you will observe that many people who got it eventually were those who shared their interview experiences freely

FINAL REPORT ON PTDF OVERSEAS 2018/2019 SCHOLARSHIP

PTDF has concluded the overseas interview, candidates who were shortlisted in all categories have four chances; France, China, Germany and the UK. Whether you have received email or not from PTDF, u all still have equal chances to be selected.

The first category; France/China/Germany results are ready.But to avoid one candidate winning both categories, the names have not been published yet. All things being equal, winners in all countries will be published probably around June after the UK selection process which is currently being scrutinized.

This year will have the highest ever number of Oversea Scholarship winners thanks to the Strategic Partners who are offering a tuition-free scholarship. [/b]Selection is based on the quota system which is the government constitution. Hence, you are competing with the candidate from your states and not the general populace. [b]So don't play the tribal card if u are not selected as tribalism as nothing to do with it. Your slot can only be awarded to your fellow state kinsmen. In addition, more slots of winners are given to Nigeria oil-producing states which is understandable.

For all winners in all categories, you will be required to sign a bond which signifies that you must come back to Nigeria after your studies. But PTDF might allow you to stay for a fixed period for work experience in your field after their approval as before work visa is granted, ur sponsor will be contacted. Overall, u will need to plan well and focus on your study and life after studies. U are also allowed to defer your scholarship within one year hence if working u can apply for ''study leave without pay'' for your job to be secured when u come back. For those who are not working yet, the degree will give u more opportunity for job not only in Nigeria but any where in the world. It will give u more chance of scholarship for the advancement of studies or for migration purpose if you don't get jobs when u come back as jobs are hard to come by.

You might be tempted when u are abroad to do abnormal things to feel among. But remember Nigeria especially your family or friends who are struggling. Better to help Nigerians rather than outsiders. Also, save money, so u can plan well and be in control in whatever choice when u come back to Nigeria for the advancement of your career. Congrats in advance to the overseas winners which will definitely be among nairalanders here as it is always. For those who wish to study in Nigeria (have applied for admission) or are currently studying in Nigeria, PTDF did not forget you. Local application will be out in June.

Good luck everyone. Bye. Current PTDF scholars are already making Nigeria proud abroad (see attached). Do better than them.
