hello guys, the interview went well like @kingsleychidosky said its a 6-7 man panel, about 15-30mins or more depending on what the indian man with the turban asks, cos the man just dey drill me on all fields most especially my present industry in electricity distribution and further we went to mechanical engineering and a whole lot of other stuffs.....went well though. just prepare your mind questions will come from your cv too

kingsleychidosky:
the technical questions are based on both your experience and engineering questions (depending on your department ). For example, I was asked "which part of Chemical engineering do you like most and would like to specialize in it in future". My answer raised other questions from the part I mentioned. They also asked me things about the design of heat exchangers which is not part of my experience or the part of Chemical engineering that I mentioned.

Dude thanks a million, this obviously has helped Ma preparations.... Will tell u How it all went down, #Godspeed to us all

kingsleychidosky:
hello guys, I had my interview on 17 April 2015. For those that are yet to have theirs, be able to defend whatever you have on your CV(because they will be looking at your CV). expect technical questions in your field of study/experience, expect HR questions like "where do you see yourself in Five years time, what is your salary expectation". Please don't be threatened by the panel(7-man), Speak with confidence. Good luck guys.

Oh thanks glad you were able to shed some light on how the interview steered..... please I need to know the level of technical questions asked is it based on your experience alone or engineering questions like what do u know about a lathe machine or stuff like that? Thanks again in advance bro.

Well as for the change in interview date, mine hasn't been changed, still 27th.
Well I suppose we will enter the den and meet our panel first time as everyone who's had theirs has been unable to reply. Wish everyone the best once I'm done next week Monday I will let u guys know how far. Wish everyone the best #Godspeed guys. See you all at the top

NickD:

GOD IS WONDERFUL

It is not strange fire but holy ghost fire that consumed him for rigging Jonathan out of office .
He couldn't live for one week to enjoy the money he collected from APC hahahahahakikikikikakakaka

I really don't wanna believe you are a Christian or Muslim.. . An entire family got burnt and died in a fire and all you can say is God is wonderful?? After when Islamist extremists kill in the name of Allah you will say uncouth things about such people, how different is ur comment here about the dead... Bros you No try, you don't even know what happened... May their souls Rest in Peace and if foul play is involved may whoever responsible not find peace.

First and foremost, I encourage not theft but can't help when I see a lot of misinformation. Now being a person who has worked with aircrafts and at the airside fuelling aircrafts I know a thing or 2. Now op your source got their aircraft registration wrong, its 5N-MJD and not MID arik has no MID in her fleet. Now the only reason these guys were caught is because they didn't play ball with Avsec and airforce team on duty, now to the people that feel airlines can buy fuel from touts, its a big nooo, there's a lot involved in jet a1 or jetfuel that most people don't know, I am confidentialy not at liberty to discuss that cos I have signed documents that means I can't say anything to that extent. Do you know jet fuel cud be used as anoda fuel we nigerians crave for? Hence ask yourself why jerricans? Trust me he wasn't stealing to fuel anoda aircraft! Cos 6 jerricas are negligible compared to what an aircraft needs to fly, they take fuel in thousands tens of thousands and some times hundred of thousands depending on destination. Ehen pls its not possible for a pilot to take an aircraft without fuel cos he has to balance his aircraft fuel load with passengers weight and luggage.
These guys wouldn't steal if they were paid ontime, I'm sure by nw some of u are expectn febuary pay, most of em just got december,its no reason to steal but please guys its not black and white

Chukaholic:
I also got the text.

But I don't know how to drive.

Hope that won't stop me from getting de job?

bros i dont intend on being agent of bad news, but sadly yes because theres usually a driving test. one of the major requirements is ability to drive and mind you its a stickshift (manual) not automatic. wish us all the best

Nope sorry bro can't help you... You'll have to do that on your own

wonda26:
Bro, wud like to yarn with you. I sent you a PM. Plz, reply.

Alright just saw ur msg u can reply
Now to those looking for apartments just wait till u get to Benin. Cos u may be posted out of Benin after ur orientation/induction which cud be between 3days or a week. So just find a place to chill or rent for a week as the case may be.

wow been going thru the thread and it seems to have gotten some sort of calm... I need to Sha talk am, where is the guy that said I was forming James Bond he shud attach his offer letter for all to see, sebi he has gotten it and he kept quiet. Some things are not done for most of you this maybe is ur first job for some no, but the few on the thread understood you don't go about in public forums pasting stuff here and there, it's not professional, after all you got the job the rest was to be calm and wait for the offer. If u needed more info u cud have sent me a mail and I would reply, at least I tried replyn most of the numerous mails I got, so dude try to take a chill pill and welcome to BEDC
Now to the young man who hasn't gotten his offer letter I urge u to go to vigeo office 5 Osborne road Ikoyi and find out how far. If u are not in Lagos no worries. Send me a DM so I can forward u a nos to ask and make enquires. But rest assured since u got the success mail ur offer dey wait you.
Please it's noteworthy that I am also a GRADUATE trainee like everyone and not some high level staff so please o the questions I dey see like say I be Hr abeg o. I just got d privilege of being here 2months before u all.
See u all on Monday... Cheeers

For all those affected by the non receipt of offer mail... Have you guys tried sending a mail to the address that sent you success on the interview and the later on delay by BEDC?
If u haven't why not try it explaining what situation on ground. Just saying though, maybe someone's tried it?

ozara:

any hope, guy lets talk, ur email bro

Just click Ma profile and send me mail.

ismokeweed your emails keep bouncing back evry time i send you a direct msg.

JstBrave:
Thanks, but I havent gotten ur mail yet. Here is my address: jstbrave@gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.

ok i sent messages to that mail address i'll try using my gmail account

JstBrave:
Some of us didnt get the mail o, what do u suggest we do please,

OK if by weekend u don't get any reply or response from hr team let me know I'll send u a contact you can call during business hours. Don't worry your offer is waiting it's most likely it's a mix up, happened during our batch too. I think u sent me mail I replied feel free to ask.

Now it's worthy of note that this a public forum some information should not be put here so pls if I'm being discreet it's solely my nature I respect confidentiality

Thank God, it's finally here you guys can rest easy... to everyone I couldn't reply direct msgs, sorry about that had an issue with my mail settings. Congrats to you all again. Wait till Monday to pick up ur letter or indicate you are outside Lagos to the undersigned and he will send it to u. That was how I did mine. To everyone cheers and welcome. See you all next month.

I play video games.
My favourite game till date is GTA.
I was still playing it immediately I got married but with time responsibilities started coming.
I used to own one XBOX then. The only thing I find difficult is football so I go for ROLE REPLACEMENT GAMEs
__ especially where I can shoot gun or drive car.

As in this has got to be my comment of the day. You are awesome, your kids would so love you!!! I know responsibilities and all will take more of your time but when you can just take a nice time out and play Call of duty:ghosts or gears of War since u an Xbox person

joanana:
I dnt hate video games... I love it especially PES Football n God of War!!!!! I love it!!!!!!

That's nice and awesome to hear... keep it up girl

@merlissa you sound like an awesome girl o.. . Would luv to hang out with you. Anyways I like the fact you are totally not interested in football that's the issue I have with naira "gamers" they play only soccer ewww. What happened to FPS, RTSand adventure. Games like mass effect 2-3. METAL GEAR GUNS OF PATRIOT, call of duty:ghosts, last of us, beyond 2souls, God of War3, Street fighter Vs tekken, Kill zone, Castle Vania, final Fantasy. Etc these are games!!! Not soccer, football is a good game of but haha playing the same thing over and over no form of brain development. Anyway make I stop Der I also happen to own the fifa14 too o but I love first person shooters ehn and I'm a Sony man

If I don't reply ur msgs pls no vex...they are quite much

Owoado:

I'm enjoying this thread, anyways guys its reflexionz o. well as for the amount of bread I don't want to say one thing and my oga at the top will say another. Think not of the pay, like someone said on this thread think of the skills, knowledge base this will give and add to you. If you are looking for BIG MONEY please disco ain't for you. Please get ready to go dirty not all is office work. You will meet with different types of disgruntled human beings far different from what you know and are used to in Lagos except you are from this locales.
As for the loaves of bread

As for the loaves of bread I don't want to say and wen u see ur offer letter the loaf has diminished u go come dey vex. But I can tell you this the program is in 2 phases. On the job training and classroom training. The classroom training will cover core engineering and accounting/commerce practices in the power distribution sector the classroom training is residential and will be for 3Months.
Sorry I cant answer ur loaf of bread question but its close to 10 loaves of bread as a trainee.
Some of you wen u receive ur offer letter you will decline but think very well before u accept or decline there's a big challenge waiting on the other side of BEDC.
Oh also on the job training is not residential u will look for ur own apartment or wer to squat like us. The classroom training is after the on the job training that is residential and the loaf of bread will vary during this period.
And for the lady that knows alot of Benin already you will enjoy here cos u got friends most of us don't know any soul...presently at Kada cinemas want to watch 30days in Atlanta and ThePurge:anarchy. Watched Interstellar last week. My fones misbehaving I'll get back to u guys asap.

XtraSmooth404:
Someone should remind me, are we to pick the offer letter from Benin?

dont worry wait for the offer....you will most likely pick up from BEDC parent coy in ikoyi Lagos like we did. but just wait for it

royal42nz:
Sure. Waiting for offer letter

hey dude sorry i believe u sent me a direct msg. im sorry i havnt replied its actually cos d mail u sent it to i dont use that anymore. i just changed ma email addy on nairaland.
wow this thread u guys are funny expecting 6 figure, eventually maybe....this aint a generation coy its a distribution coy of former nepa things will take time to become as most of u imagine. We bid you all welcome as we wait for you all in Ancient Benin city. we dey wait una batch B of BEDC. funny none of my colleagues have made comment here.
well thats all i can say for now. you guys are lucky, ur recruitment process took a few weeks some of u are complaining. we wrote our test may came for interview june got offers september resumed october. mr 4tnz see u in benin

Its become obvious that most people coming to make comments here don't really understand the difference between a confirmed staff and a trainee/contract staff. The topic says entry level pay and I believe its for confirmed staff that's why its high in some industries.
As for oil and gas coys particularly the likes of exxon, total and shell. Pls google it and u will see the man that says its 16-17m tells no lie. Excluding the fact I have a good friend who's a reservoir engineer. She told me herself and i didn't believe I had to google it. Its a world standard just like he said...u cud be deployed anywer.
Aircraft refueller in airport is 125k gross.

Alright, sent you the mail. Wish you the best o. See you at the top bro. And pls whatever happens you didn't get it from me. Lol
