Don’t let anybody fool you, the econs is not useful if you don’t write any professional exams in another field eg. ICAN, ACCA, CFA. Don’t think your econs will get you jobs in banks ahead of those who studied Foods and Nutrition or Woodwork. Nigeria does not have sectors where to use Econs. You can’t practice on your own if you studied econs but you can practice on your own if you studied accountancy. The only problem with accountancy is that people are too many studying it and it can be discouraging if you don’t start your career well in a good company. I mean western multinational companies, not all this Saka Jelili Ltd, Hispro Hotels, or Yusdas Enterprises o. I am telling you reality. I have more than 17 years top notch work experiences across various multinational companies and I am a certified accountant.
While you are in school, please try and learn or teach yourself these skills and improve on them over time:

Microsoft Excel. ( don’t fool yourself that you are an advanced user the moment you can use Pivot table or use vlookup or xlookup o. Go and learn deeper Excel. There are free materials online.

Learn financial modeling using Excel to the best of your ability.

Learn Power BI or Tableau for data management, business reporting and analysis.

Learn PowerPoint ( I can give you a YouTube site where you can learn world class PowerPoint for free. I have materials for others too but I don’t guarantee they will be relevant by the time you graduate).

Finish your professional exams on time.

Aim high and target multinationals like GE, BAT, Nestle, Unilever, Atlascopco, P&G, GSK, Microsoft, etc. if you don’t eventually get any of those ones, you will get something closer eg PayStack, Flutterwave, Andela, Hayat Kimya etc. But if you lower your bar, you are in for a loooong thing.

All the best.

Please can you share the resources for the PowerPoint and please do you have an idea of how much Nestle pays its Graduate Trainee?

Idrismusty97:

Can I access added service of passport delivery after capturing TLS?

No one has experienced this and can provide an answer?

Any update from Merristem?

They have sent mail for the final interview. I really don't understand how the recruitment process is cause some people are still writing test.

Does anyone get an invite and how they conduct their final interview?

Can I access added service of passport delivery after capturing TLS?

Please I want to ask, can I pick up my mum's passport from TLS with just my passport. Does anyone know what I can do?

I received mail yesterday from Nestle for the final stage.

Those that went for the assessment centre, how was it?

I was there today, it was fair but exhausting

Wait... How are some people already passed the essay stage? How long have this recruitment been ongoing?

The person I responded to was asking if they are inviting people that wrote essay for presentation already. From that I presumed he had written the essay for him to be asking about presentation.

Mind you, some were invited for assessment at a different from those that wrote last weekend.

Precepts:
Please who has received a success mail for the essay part and is still expecting invitation for the presentation

Hello Precepts,

I believe you have written the essay. I am still at the assessment stage. Can you share an idea of what the essay topics were like?

Was it done on-site or remotely? If you don't mind, can I send you a DM?

Thank you

please who has an idea of what the assessment center for Nestle looks like?

Lynda88:
That was fast, haven't received any mail sha..

It came in this evening. You will surely get a mail too.

jennyblash:
Hi guys.

Please who has an idea on the salary structure?

Thanks,

I am also interested in this

Received a success mail and brief about the next stage

As opposed to my earlier comments, they sent a mail today to come for assessment centre on Thursday. That should be for those that passed the Saturday assessment.

Probably in 2 weeks time, best still a week since it’s online.
I wrote on March 30th for the SIWES. It was physical tho. 2 weeks later, they pasted results and started calling students for medicals.

As you said, SIWES. This type of recruitment is usually very urgent because it is a temporary role. I have even forgotten I applied to Nestle until I got a mail for the assessment.

We can't be sure when they will revert this time.

chimhigher:
Omo the thing choke jare. I was rushing so tay I no know wetin be 2+2 again. No be small thing

I experienced same.

In 50 minutes you should be done with the test. The test is in, I think 6 stages. We have the aptitude, Microsoft excel, logic, and personality test in all of these stages.

For the excel part, you will have basic knowledge of excel to be able to answer it well. 20 questions for 10 mins.
For the aptitude, your quantitative skills must be apt to be able to attempt it well. Some parts are in a gamified mode.

In between, you will play brick game to test your problem-solving skills.

In the final aptitude test, you will have to answer 50 questions in 15minutes, I would advise you don't waste your time here. Answer what you know and move on. Of the 50 questions, you will have spatial reasoning, arithmetic, verbal reasoning, and logic. Answer as much as you can, I call it a speed test.

Overall, the assessment was fair. I wish every one of us the best.

P.S. Don't bother reading oo, your residual knowledge is enough as there is nothing to read for.

The assessment link expires Tuesday 02:36 AM PDT

nicerod:
please i got a direct sales agent job thru an agent with a commercial bank pay is N60k i hope the agent havent shortchange me?

60k net for a DSA is fair enough bro. They earn within that range

It is quite unfortunate that this thread does not prove to be useful to new candidates in the recruitment process. How can a thread b created since 2020 and all you can see is, "I have received a mail for the assessment", "I have been invited for an essay", "I have done an online video interview", and many other information that is not helping anyone?

Never knew people could be this selfish that sharing vital information about the recruitment process to help other candidates and future candidates is so difficult. No one talked about the structure of the assessment, the interview, or mentioned anything about the essay topic, quite pathetic.
For those that got in 2020 and withheld information, I hope you are satisfied with yourself now. Secondary school behavior, I would call it.

For a reason best known to Meristem, they didn't send the link for the assessment.
Could it be that the HR in charge forgot while celebrating Christ or scheduling today was an error?

I hope they don't reschedule the test to be on a work day o.

Mayor75:
Do you have any idea of when they are going to get back to us?

bro, I have no idea oo. I don't work with workforce na

Mayor75:
I was able to successfully write the test. But, the time was not sufficient. Hoping for the best sha

I wrote the test. 50 questions, 50 minutes. I guess that was fair enough. Hoping for a favourable outcome

NotoriousToks:
Is it in Lagos or Abuja?

The test is online and not on-site

Yes, I have. Did you get?

Please how was your assessment?
What should we expect?

I got a mail from Nestle today for an assessment on Saturday. Please who has an idea of what to expect?

efilefun:
Nope, pharmacist

Congratulations!!

If you don’t mind, can you advise on on how you went about your application?

I mean for a pharmacist now; did you write any exam other that IELTS?

Can I send you a mail, please?

Can anyone that applied for advisory confirmed if they have gotten a success or regret mail, please?

Sometimes they attend to those in assurance first.

Those that received success mail, when is the OPQ coming up please?
