Alert or no alert? Just checking something

Andre92:
Please Nairalanders I need to hear your opinion.

I am GT ICT.

Its about my interview experience. All answers to my interview questions went really well except for the HSE part were I flopped abit but I was able to name 3 safety tips out of 5. Then it was time for me to ask questions which I did and in response to my question, the head of the panel said he had gone through my CV and can see I am very proficient in ****** and thats one area they are having some challenges. He went further to say they will employ me there. I thanked him and others panel members and left the room.

After the interview, I was confused and still confused till this day. I knw an interviewer isnt suppose to assure me of employment. what do you guys think?

Were you interviewed on 11th too?

c12112:
Apologies to anyone who has tried to contact me via pm. I used my primary email to register here and I am still interested in staying anonymous as long as Nairaland is concerned.

I don't go looking for info, I get it cos someone directly related to me works in NNPC and has been for a considerable long number of years and he gives me updates as he gets- largely from reliable sources.

When I said payment for people from 11th were being processed, it was cos the person that processed mine called him immediately he saw my name and he was able to link it with him. Nothing mega.

I have still not seen the money. Can you imagine?

What I am sure of from what he has told me recently is that the process has been concluded.

I know someone in HR but he has little or no information as the very few times I have tried to ask him for updates, he couldn't give. We are very close- if he knows, he'll tell. That he's not telling is cos the goings-on are shared on a 'need-to-know' basis.

When would successful candidates be contacted? Barring all last minute changes, next week. I was told an actual date but NNPC is a government entity. These things can change cos someone somewhere with influence decides to do anything.

Oh! The few times I have asked about link BTW APL and TP, same story: NO LINK.

CBT scores may have also be used for aggregation. MAY is the emphatic word here.

We just wait.

Peace!

One thing is common between TF/APL/NNPC- Wednesday.

So you expect whatever source you contacted to tell you there is, even if there is relationship? So people can start deciphering their fate before official notice

Onunu:
Now to put an end to the saga of the relationship between Tfare and APL:

PS: You’re free to not believe me. I know I’m way too matured to spread fake news or just to generate clout for no reason. I’ll attach proof to this.

1. I had my interview on the 2nd and received alert last week.
2. I kept reading about the theories here and truly it got me thinking that they might be some truth to it.
3. I decided to investigate through the networks available to me.
4. I discovered that Terhemba king anyam (popularly known as King) works with a bros of mine at nnpc (I know about 4 close people working in the towers).
5. I decided to contact my bros to help clarify what I’ve been reading on Nairaland today. He promised to get back to me.
6. At midday I got impatient and decided to put a call through but his number was busy. Tried later after an hour and it was busy and he didn’t return the call.
7. He texted and said he’ll get back to me. That he wants to call the TA to the GMD to clarify.
8. Not to long ago, he called and told me that he wasn’t able to get through to the TA because of how busy they are and he’ll most likely get to him at night, but, he called King and king said that THERE’S NO TRUTH to the rumour. That they are working on paying everyone. That they are working based on lists and the work is still on going.

At least, I can say no nairalander interviewed on 11th has been paid.

tejiri4:


What sample size did you used in coming up with these? and please dont say nairaland

Of course, the race isn't for the swift!

Gbyms:
My sauce told me to go and pray. Haha. I asked about correlation between tp and APL and was told by the sauce that every candidate will get paid.
One thing is common between sauces. They’d tell you to go and pray.

@tonyhokins

Twhizzy2:
Do you know if equal number of candidates were considered based on discipline for GT?

Do you know if equal number of candidates were considered based on discipline for GT?

TONYHOPKINS:
I Dont know may be if am able to get the total number of employed then it can be worked out based on each states FCQS percentage.

Guy, get ready for quote, quote, quote...

TONYHOPKINS:
Someone presumably from Lagos state, stated having NIM certificate and failed to attach the evidence. You were actually interviewed on 8th Monday. Advice; send the document to NNPC support mail. Thanks. You had 88% in your interview.

Done

bobowaja:

Pls resend

@bobowaja, please check your pm

All those points you gave in your first paragraph do not guarantee one getting APL. I'm not saying there's relationship between TP and APL, but saying because those guys have received alert isn't a yardstick.

wrrw:


I know of 3 persons interviewed on July 3rd, 2019; did their CBT in Benin and who received the first alert sent not by KING-ANYAM TERHEMBA but by "ACHIMUGU FAROUK (MIS)" - whose payment is termed by flowwolf09 as the payment for the top 1% candidates from each state. Two out of three candidates are both working in one of the NNPC subsidiaries, they both hail from different oil producing states and their community produces oil for the nation. One of them is a first class candidate with a master's degree in one of the top 10 universities in the world and they both had a good interview session.

No relationship between APL and TF. A lot of theories and hypothesis has been postulated in this thread. However, the idea of feeling safe because certain persons with unique portfolio have not received alert could be a mistake bearing in mind that Nigeria is filled with so many persons with extra ordinary credentials. You would have noticed sth during this recruitment exercise that NNPC hardly gets back to unsuccessful candidates. Unsuccessful applicants who were not invited for the exam and unsuccessful candidates that did not pass the exam were not sent any message. Although both the Access Bank Claims and flowwolf09 are both hypothesis which have not been proven to be theories, I leave the audience to deliberate on which one is more logical considering the trend of things since the day of the NNPC application. Everyone will be paid eventually.

I know of certain persons with good track record - First class (1st degree) and Distinction (masters degree) from top universities in the world who were interviewed but were not selected for the 2011/2012 NNPC recruitment (some states and disciplines are so competitive that even the mighty will go down). The God factor has a lot of role to play. The beautiful thing about the 2019 NNPC recruitment is the high number of persons that will be recruited when compared to that of 2012. Everyone should hope that the number of candidates or top performers in their state and their field of specialization are few.

The recruitment that brought the last set of NNPC employees (2012) started its examination on March 19th, 2011. It was not easy for many candidates since PTDF examination date was on the same day (March 19th, 2011). NNPC exam was still on by 7.00 p.m. in the evening that candidates in some centres needed lighting facilities in order to finish their exam. As for 2011 PTDF, CBT exam was in batches and exam was still on as at 10.00 pm in the night in some centres. The duration of the 2011/2012 NNPC Interview conducted for the selected candidates (less than 5,000 candidates) lasted for more than a month. The 2019 NNPC interview (with over 9,000 candidates) lasted for just 2 weeks even when the number of those selected for the interview is far more than those selected in 2011/2012 recruitment.

In 2013, another advert was put forth for NNPC jobs. Exams were written (HB pencil option) on December 6, 2014 and candidates were sent invitation for interview that was never conducted since Ex-President Jonathan lost election to President Buhari. The current NNPC candidate selection process for 2019 was delayed till now since NNPC was awaiting the outcome of the 2019 election. The organization of the 2011 and 2014 test (HB pencil) conducted by NNPC is no where close to the way it was done in 2019 (CBT test). A job well done by the current management of NNPC.

The number of those to be employed is more than a thousand as we all know. There's a huge gap created by the cancellation of the NNPC 2014 recruitment exercise which needs to be filled up by the 2019 prospective employees. Also a lot of NNPC staff have retired spanning from 2012 till date of which the previous GMD is now one of the retirees. Wish you all the best as we expect the arrival of APL. Pls, no questions.

Are you from same state of origin?

johnchima007:
I also don’t believe the Tfare reimbursement has anything to do with the APL, I interviewed on the 5th, panel 1... We were 7 of us, I had called 4 and none has received alert till date, so does it mean 5 of us were chosen from a batch of 7?

Me too. Yet to see who has been paid. What is your discipline?

adakoleagbenu:
haven't been paid fa. team Lagos team 11th july team 7am

Panel 3?

Biggerboi:

God factor my broda i was asked about how i once priortised like four different problems at a time and solved them the way i related that question to our cbt exams and explained that the exams was into different sections maths english current affairs and they are of equal priorities so i priortised the sections that will take lesser time first i.e current affairs english and shapes before going back to the mathematics that require more time so i was able to answer atleast 55 questions correctly instead of starting with the mathematics that will take more time and i might end up not finishing before my time elapses...the woman was soo impressed but me sef i dont even know how i did it on a normal day i wont have been able to answer that question no matter how smart u are u really need God
And i was one of those notherners that rocked native too oo

It's 25.6 million, actually

Sempumping:


200,000 not 3million Abule-Egba Albert Einstein

I noticed the interview schedule based on discipline too. Almost everyone from Lagos was interviewed on different dates. Like I was interviewed on 11th, GT statistics.

c12112:
When we all remember that an average of 900 people did interview per day, then would we realize that we all need to be sober.

And BTW, interview schedules was based on the role you applied for, not state. On the day of my interview for instance, PH, Lagos were there.

4 days earlier, a colleague of mine who did CBT with me same time and same centre had his interview but he applied for a different role and he confirmed he was on his panel with people with similar roles.

I will repeat, APL will be based on roles vs FCC.

Peace!

Hmmm... I'm on this table. Na God go win Las Las

c12112:
So they are processing payment for 11th July.

July 11th candidates are yet to be paid. If otherwise, click "like"

joobseekar:
Oya another theory, instead of NNpC to conduct 2 interviews like most big firms, they conducted one, and employed "2 line screening" after screening the first people, they pay them immediately, now they've screened out the second batch, and are now being paid.

July 6th or 2nd applicants are not the only people that have been paid, they've paid other dates too. And they're yet to pay some applicants on those July 2nd and 6th as well.

Note: IF APL is coming next week, THEN

Tfare should be concluded this week,

ELSE IF Tfare will continue to next week, THEN

Tfare will be paid weekly till APL comes in,

ELSE Tfare has no correlation with APL,

END IF.


Hahahahaha

This hypothesis no even follow. How will a company be reimbursing successful candidates their transport fare.

flowwolf09:


Congrats you passed FCC and Mgt list.

So Delta is on this table too

NNPC Employees' distributions by state - 2012

Akintoye, O., & Utang, P. (2012). Spatial disparity in employee composition in the oil industry in Nigeria and the implication of the Federal Character Policy. International Journal of Humanities and Social Science, 2(6), 133-140.

Nobody said FCT is a state. The lady didn't include it in her calculation which rendered it incorrect. And she has reliazed and made necessary adjustment already.


Meanwhile, to those qouting their sauce that oil producing state will get more slots, you need to read the article. Rivers (an oil producing state) might not even get a slot.

From this article the guy that talk about FCT is not a state is not far from the truth

Because the percentage be allocated to them is half of a state

Please read n confirm

At the end of COB on Friday, no further alert yet!

After various deliberations on the "access" theory, I could deduce the following;

1. Two "brothers" did at the same time, same day, probably wrote on same sheet of paper, only one got alert.

2. People who have "strong" connect are yet to get alert, as reported by different sauces.

3. Those who contacted their NNPC sauce said alerts are in batches. Even if it's not, they are not expected to make you know as it is not official yet.

4. Someone said it's not possible for them to enter all 9000 details within the shortest time. I could remember at the point of exit, the lady with a system asked for our interview number then called out our names before asking us to put down our bank details.

Invariably, the only thing they'll have to input is the account numbers and bank against our respective details. And it could have been done on daily basis from the first day of the interview.

5. Transport fare for 2011/2012 was as high as 40k. After 7years, same company reimbursed candidates with highest amount being 20k. Cost-cutting.

6. Mail has been sent to staff acknowledging the end of the process.

Don't come for my head, please. I'm only testing my analytical skills.

Profay11:
Please I have a question. I was interviewed by a bank, and I've been called for medicals.

On a scale of 1-100, how much of a good news is that??

All the candidates who did on 11th were from Lagos too. And I don't know anyone who has been paid.

CsRockefeller:
It seems they decided to pay the candidates scheduled for the 6th first since a large number of us came from Lagos.

Everyone that I know that was scheduled for the 6th (myself included) have all being paid.

This is my own logical conclusion.

Settle candidates from Lagos first (on the 6th in particular) because they came from a far distance, but I might be wrong o! Let no one come for my head now.

We all performed well. So, no alert

adakoleagbenu:
has anyone who was interviewed on 11th July received alert?

In contrary, mine came in on May 28 (Tuesday) and June 26 (Wednesday) respectively.

Sethvincent:


Let's propose another theory,

Have you noticed that NNPC mails normally come in on Wednesdays, don't know about you but mine came on May 22(Wednesday) for CBT and June 26(Wednesday) for Oral Interview.

It took at least a space of one month after the CBT exams before successfully candidates where contacted.

From the above observations we can expect the APL letters to arrive probably on a Wednesday in August a month after the last batch of interviews where conducted.

Most likely date: 7th August 2019.

Again!!!
Its just a theory or an observation, it can still be wrong.

So let us all relax about this TF issue and look forward to Wednesdays.

I would love to meet this @flowwolf09 guy in person. Chai

Someone from Lagos has been paid. I've not. I'm from Lagos

chidiadi247:
I think this T fare issue is state by state. All my friends that we went together from Rivers State haven't been paid

Your analysis no gel bro. How will they select top 1% when there's no other interview?

flowwolf09:


What you don't know is that your name won't enter MIS if you don't pass. Thats how the shortlisting was done and the interview invite was sent. Do you know those not invited were not sent a message.
Now do the analysis. You pick the top 1% from each state and quickly reimburse their TP to reduce your work. FCC says you must employ the best from each state. You then barter and truck to select the remainder to join them.

Kindly expantiate

flowwolf09:
From reliable source: alert was for those top 1 % in their states. They won't be subjected through the selection process.

Yes, we did.

joobseekar:
did we fill state of residence when filling the bank details? how did they determine our state of residence when paying the TFare? through CV or online details during application?
