Not yet boss

all the best when you do yeah

azz19:
Myself and some others here have passed the test since two months ago but after a while when we check back to see our progress level it was as if we never applied. No records of any application not to talk of a passed assessment. The whole thing is a joke. Just pass the test for the fun of it.

wow that's crazy yeah. but then again you never can tell so let's keep them hopes up yeah.

myself am just about to take my test now and see how it goes

agrovick:
Cc WiseCyril

well look at what we have here. You're here too? Lool small world ain't it?

azz19:
Passing the online test seems to be the end of the process. Many people have passed and their records has been wiped. But anyways make yourself happy.

can you please explain what you mean? are you saying this online assessment is just a perfunctory exercise?

mayoor15:
Gsk finally sent an invite.......Checked my status simultaneously and it changed to In progress...If you haven't seen yours then keep hope alive...

nice congrats man. have you taken the test yet?

FexyB:

hey how did your assessment go?

sawyer89:
She did the online video interview about two weeks ago.

hey did you ever find out how her assessment went again

sawyer89:
Know of someone who got an assessment centre invite for Tuesday.

hey buddy when did the person take their online video test? and do you know how how long the assessment centre exercise will last for?

FexyB:
I got an invite to the assessment centre today. Anyone else?

nahh I think it's only you at this point. hopefully others come through as well. did they mention what the assessment will be like and how long it will last? I think it's always at their ogba office

agrovick:
First question was a bit uneasy, improved with time, messed one or two. Overall, it was a totally different experience.

ahh you're gonna be fine. was totally different for me too.

I just hope they level up now. Fingers crossed.

agrovick:

Taken the test already, all hands on deck.

great stuff. how was it?
I have this uneasy feeling already they need to hurry up

Collineno:
please for that data analysis what kind of data are we to analyse? pie chart or bar chart?
and is that the same as the business situation questions?

they presented a business report which you will read and they represented the report in a graph chart I think. bare in mind that questions might be different so just be prepared for anything.

you have six minutes to prepare for this part. there two of this kind of questions

buhariDRIVER:
No mind me joor .. dis my oga too dey travel I no get time to they cross check wetin I type ..... correction taken Mr TeddyPendergrass. ... iv viewed through other posts and intend to take mine this morning .....just to confirm .... the whole interview took 8mins excluding downtime from Internet connections n page loadings...

takes about 15minutes. if you experience internet connection loss more than once I think it will skip a question. the system will think you're trying to trick it by disabling your connection and preparing offline.

first question will be tense for you after that you'll be fine. For me anyways. have fun

chidicute:

DollyB:
I know your busy with so many things! But could you kindly help the uninformed people such as myself to become informed. In so doing you would be blessing individuals and permit me to say families also. God bless

done

guy let me first apologize for the delayed update on this tread. I just being busy and really lack the motivation to type lengthy posts on here. however to be fair, I have responded by email to all who have asked me to talk about this. so today I will try to cover this up as fairly as possible.

This information is particularly for the BC but can be applied generally.

BC applications don't get screened by humans at the first stage, they use an ATS (google it if you don't know) that screens all applications as they come in. the ATS screens these applications based on keywords that are relevant for any given role. so as you fill out your profile on the job portal make sure your responsibilities are tailored to reflect this key words. a site to use to measure how close your profile is to the keywords is jobscan.co

that site is jobscan.co and not jobscan.com. Take note.

for every BC role you apply for there is a role profile documents attached. study that document extensively. on that document you see exactly what they are looking for. the section of most particular interest is the person specification section.

here they show what they want and the kind of skills you need to fulfill the responsibilities for the role. It shows if it's essential: meaning if you don't have or can't show that you have forget about it. Desirable; they would give preference to people that have that skill or experience with then lastly assessment stage; this is where they tell you what stage they will be screening with those skills. if it's shortlisting you must include this skill in your profile if it's interview stage you don't necessarily have to show you have it but it's better you do.

now when you get to the supporting statement part of your application, this is arguably the most important part of your application. this is where you show convincingly in writing that you meet the requirements for the role as stated in the person specification.

you don't just write that I have a skill in this and that. there is a book called British council behaviours and another called core skills attached to every post made by the BC, read those books carefully and understand the skills for the roles and what applying them means. all skills required for BC jobs are taken from that book. all of them so read carefully.

there is another book I found on the internet some time ago I think it's called BC values or so I can't remember but research on your own and read. there is actually an article on the internet about applying to BC jobs which you can read to.

it is a very complicated process that takes a lot of time and dedication so just be patient. I applied to like 10 BC jobs before I finally got invited for an interview after I discovered my former applications were not making it through the front gate because I was doing rubbish. so I studied about this and figured it out.

when I went for my test with them we were about 20 and we all tested for 3 different jobs. 20 people testing for 3 different jobs gives you an idea that a lot of people's application are getting stuck in the system because of how different BC application process is.

anyways long story short; study those BC books first, study the role profile, fill in your application to fill in line with BC core values and then make sure your supporting statement shows clearly that you have the required skills and have used these skills in your former or current employment.

when I did my application, it took me a week. so take your time, don't take too long.

cheers!

obajoey:

obajoey:
God really saved me today because I don't know what would have happened if I had swallowed this fish hook I saw in my food today.
I was just eating the eba with the oha soup oo, thank God I am the type that don't rush food especially whenever am eating away from home, but I believe God just love me because the hook could have gotten glued to the eba.

The funny thing is the food vendor was very rude to me the previous day.
Help me to thank God people of God.

dude quote me here I don't have access to my mail till Monday

kael007:
