I got the call almost same time with the one I missed the other day (around 2:10pm) today.
The lady on the phone first asked me to confirm my age to her, I told her. She then said I should hold on for like a minute, which I did. When she came back on, she told me that my age is more than the required for the post. That the age limit was below 26years...(by the way, I am 28)...She said why did I apply and all that. I told her no age restriction was stated in the job advert. She then said when I was applying didn't I see the option bla bla bla... She then said she can't stop me now at this level, that she will send the Discovery centre invitation mail to me that I passed excellently well bla bla bla... But she said I might get kicked out at the final stage when my age comes into scrutiny.

They later sent a text message congratulating me again and an email containing my invitation details... The DC is 24th of May by the way.

But my headache now is that I dont know whether to take the risk and travel to Lagos for the DC when age might just be against me even if I succeed.

Any suggestions please?

I'm just tired about the whole thing sef.

DeniseKendricks:


can we scan the admission letter in black and white as I do not have a colored printer to print from

As long as it's clear enough to be read, what's the stress?

quote author=kael007


I did same. Applied and did the interview on supply chain, got the regret mail earlier on. I then applied and took the interview on R/D.

eseh1:
Pls what's the update on your application on their site...what's written pls? Cos my last is the hirevue interview update.

Mine is still the last HireVue interview update mail that's there ... only that the date of my application "last updated" changed from the former one i used to see... No big deal about it jor.

Chase2903:


Where did you check your application status?

Go to the first or second mail you received from Unilever, you'll see a link on how to view your page and your application status.

Chase2903:


Hi sunnystooth, have you gotten any email from Unilever and have you been called back since yesterday?

Nope, nothing yet.
I noticed that my application status was updated on their site on 7th May... Formerly the last update i was seeing there was the date i took my interview - 13th April... I dont know if that means anything either.
Until i get a mail from them, I'll still be a bit hopeful.

kael007:
Congrats to all those who hve made it to the last and final stage of the process. I wish you all the best.
One question for you guys though....did you apply for R& or Supply?
Thanks

You sound like you are out already...?

Yea, R/D here.

Even myself here that my only undoing was to miss A CALL from Unilever Nigeria, I'm just chilling here with no stress about this whole recruitment process.

All these British firms (just like GSK) that do select like 2 or 3 people at the end of it all, one shouldn't lose sleep over them.
I just hope for the best, though my mind is prepared and ready for the worst.

cwokodaniel:

please is there anyone that have been able to submit the application since Friday till date? because i have been trying mine and it's not going through. i have used both 3g and 4g network both on my system and that of a cyber cafe still no solution. please i need help on this

Mine went through without any stress yesterday evening.
I used Chrome browser in my phone.

Just make sure ALL your documents are below 50kb.

Dazzle12:


Yes I was. The call was just to tell me what to expect during the assessment center and to ask how the process has been for me so far.

Please when is the assessment center? Were you given more details by mail too?

Dazzle12:


Same thing happened to me, but they called back. Don't worry you'll be called again.

Please how long did yours take before they called you back?
I know today is gone already though.

eseh1:
have they called u back?

Nope... Not yet, still hoping.

eseh1:
please was it a land line number?

Yes

NaivatcoEcnirp:



I hope you all ain't trying to pull a GSK?

I remember GSK application last year, it was going like this, people were lying that they have received calls and all and the rest heard nothing from GSK.

I followed that GSK own too... Till now, we still haven't heard the last of that recruitment.

But the call from Unilever Nigeria today is real.

TheBatman:
@ sunnytooth and dazzle12 what day did you take your video interview and what did your feedback say.

bros abeg answer.

I did my video interview on the 13th of April... My feedback was "good evidence" althrough... and no 'but', 'however' or 'some' in the. feedback message... I don't know if that counts. I'm just trying to be as explicit as I can... let them call me back though, else my mind won't come down... lolz.

Dazzle12:
Did anyone else get a call for the next stage (after video interview)? Also, please who knows how much the salary is during the program?

Please what exactly did they say?

Lunagirl:
And I just turned on my phone What if they've been trying to call

They should have at least send a mail before hand.

I just missed a call from Unilever Nigeria... and I've been trying to call them back, but no one is picking up.

How else can I reach them please?

I do not think they are similar. As far as I know, those who chose petroleum engineering had only opportunity of getting questions in Reservoir Engineering which is just an aspect of petroleum engineering, although most of the questions are petroleum production engineering related. I'm not sure if there is a refinery design and operation category in last year's test but I'm sure it can't be the same as petroleum engineering related questions as they are two different sectors entirely.

Hmmm, there better be oh.... @ bolded.
Because refinery design and operation deals more about the downstream aspect which I'm more conversant with as a Chemical engineering graduate than petroleum engineering which is more or less the upstream aspect.

Thanks though.

omojehovah:


Its not so true. I have friends who applied last year while serving. They uploaded their NYSC ID card in place of discharge certificate, and they were shortlisted because PTDF knew they would have done their POP before result comes out and subsequently travel abroad to study if chosen. Right now one of them is Texas via PTDF.

Good to know...
Uhmm, please do you have answer to the question I asked up there about the difference or similarities between Petroleum engineering related questions and that of Refinery Design and Operation?

Alexbrendan:
Please guys, Is it possible to apply while you're still doing Nysc (i.e. Discharge letter due in a few months time)? Will you be allowed to proceed without uploading the discharge certificate?

You will not be shortlisted... p!

DSSHQ:
Ok that's good. That's alot more explicit. I gave that example based on what I was told. Wish you the best too.

Hello, thanks so much for the tips... Please how is Refinery Design and Operation questions related or different from the Petroleum Engineering Questions?

Do you know about the topics one should focus on in terms of the Refinery Design and Operation aspect?

I passed the online tests and the video interview with excellent feedback and was waiting for the discovery centre day when I got an email today saying places have been filled and we are sorry?

If they had to do that why did they make me go through the whole process.

Any one experienced something similar? I am very upset.

Someone's experience - November 2016.

Lolz.

Please anyone... Is it advisable to look for admission in a German school for someone that doesn't have any other source of income to sponsor the Master program without NDDC scholarship?

Also, which German schools do give admission without any of these test of English exams?
Please anyone who has answers to these questions should help me out.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot. But I noticed that those universities are all asking for IELTS or TOEFL which I don't have. I wish I can get one that doesn't require them

Try Surrey University
