@Fortune444, the rejection mails were personalized.They were from the same email address that invited us for the Selection Tests and Structured Interviews. I am more than confident that those of us who attended the interviews and havent yet been contacted would be called for the presentation. How many of U attended the interviews?

what sort of rejection letter are we talking about, lets know if the the sender of the email uses the same adress as the one that invited us for test and interview.

I am off for a hot public service job for now while I wait for the next time they will call me.
This time around it should be for 8-10 yrs experience as the HR team took time to educate me on the bands in Finance in Total;
0 - 5 yrs experience (where the drilling cost controller I applied for fall under)
5 - 10 yrs
10 - 15 yrs
15 - 20 yrs
20 - 25 yrs
Etc.
The info I got(from another insider source) was that their GM-Finance is just 42 yrs, meaning 18 more yrs to stay unless cross-border postings takes him away.
The implication is that those below him will clock 60 and retire without getting to the top.
So I guess I should be aiming at the second band atleast.

I wish all of you all the best and please do celebrate here when you are through.

hi guys, this is the automated email i told u about.

Napole0n77, from what you say it seems the rejections are different. I will contact others in my group to know if they received any such rejections. Do you know anyone outside your interview group that got the same rejection on Friday?

We were 7 in total in my group.

I personally have not gotten the rejection mail as you talked about and still hoping for the best.

cheers

@Fortune444, I just got the automated rejection mail after midnight this morning! And today is exactly 120 days since I applied! The mail was NOT from the address that invited us for Test and Interviews.

Hi all,

I got the so called "rejection mail" at about 12:00 am this morning. It's an automated mail, I believe so because I already got an invite for panel interviews coming up on Tuesday.

Does any one know what the format is like?

hi lapazarian,

I am still waiting for my panel presentation call, but will update you as i have heard from others:

you will be given 3 to 6 topics to choose from and some time to prepare your presentation, then about 10 mins to present to the panel.

tell me, when did you get your panel interview invitation letter and which position, thanks.

napoleon, i think we are right, the automated rejection may just be general afterall.

@Fortune444, thats true I believe its automated-a friend got both the automated one and the one from the address that invited us for test and interviews
@Lapazarian, please when did U get your invite?When did U do your structured interviews and what position?

Structured interview for well engineer was on the 17th of August.
Got invitation letter for panel interviews on the 27th of September (date is October 5th).

@Lapazarian, I wish U success

Hello guys any update as per subject. Has any one received letter for medical after the panel interview. @jahman: Oga any info from ur side. God go bless us all oh,

Omo this is a site when you can check for vacancies of http://www.nigerianvacancies.com/2010/10/engineering-jobs-in-nigeria.html

hi lapazarian,

How did the panel presentation go? Do you know if other positions were also interviewed that day or only your field?

Thanks for any updates.

Fortune 444,

It went well, we were given about 6 topics to choose from. The presentation is informal as well as interactive so its no problem as long as you know your field well enough.

Only my field was interviewed but they will be conducting interviews for various fields for the the next two weeks.

All the best.

Thanks Lapazarian,

We earlier heard these 6 topics are randomly assigned to the candidates - is this true? or are you freely allowed to pick any one of the 6 you choose?

Thanks.

You can pick any of the 6

i leart that total have started calling 4 medicals 2 one person on each position applied 4

I heard the same, i hear they are already sending congratulatory messages to successfull candidates.

Guys, I still await my panel presentation call - any idea how long more the panel presentations may last?? Some say it should have ended this weekend, but i hope not.

you thoughts,

I need update on this Total thing.
If the guys I have their GSM refused to update me and guys in NL don't have anyone that made it into Total,then,

Update please.

PLS WILL THOSE WHO GOT TO THE 3RD STAGE ( fiNAL INTERVIEW) WHO HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED 4 MEDICALS STILL BE CALLED LATER ON?

@ lapazarian, were u called for medical, what happen to those of us who go to final interview and no news yet @ wondergirl, let hope and keep praying
