Any June 11th in the house?

Nice one bro...all the best going forward!

JoeEINSTEIN:
The big day came today. What a day!!!

There were two key highlights of the day for me:
1. Prayer works!
2. Preparation works!


Group Discussion

My group's discussion topic was:

"Misappropriation of funds in public office is on the increase, what measures can be taken to curb this? Discuss."

The other group had something on the difficulty of SMEs in getting support from government.


Now to the interview

I was asked the usual first question of "Tell us about yourself", and everything else asked after that was based on my profession and how I have applied my skills and several other questions emanating from my responses. The only usual scripted questions I was asked were "Tell us about a time you have failed", about my handling of relationships (though not asked directly), "What do you think of your group members and how would you rate yourself?"—(surprisingly, this was my last question and not the first as usual).

My tips:

1. Group discussion really helped me get my confidence up as I had already set a good ground by performing well. So make sure you take the group discussion seriously.

2. Get to bond with everyone before the group discussion while waiting, it really helps with group chemistry, hence performance, when you eventually get to be in the same group. You may even get to remember points from what you had been discussing casually and use it in your G.D. or interview.

3. Know your shit! Know your profession and be ready to sell it exceptionally well.

4. Know every damn thing you put on your CV and be ready to defend it to death!

5. Be very confident and personable. You will make it easy for yourself when you are very free and expressive, not rigid and giving canned answers. Gesticulate very well and be conversational, it helps paint an impression of liveliness and confidence.

Don't worry, God will help you like he helped me. I was greatly helped.

P.S.: Shout out to my group members (Dolapo, Bukky, Timi, and Seyi) and the awesome personalities I met who were in the other group (Hammed, Kunle, Taiwo—this guy ehn, lol, he's something else , Anjola and Ifeanyichukwu). Really great meeting you guys today, we'll meet again when we resume. I see all of you viewing this in ghost mode.

#It shall be done.
