Friends on Naira paradise, I was wondering whether there are any Nairalanders that will be attending the forthcoming Carriers in Africa 2007 uk Summit. Also, past attendees willing to share there experience and opinion, your reactions will be highly appreciated. Cheers. |

Hi, I got my job through Careers in Africa last year, same time. I had interviews lined up with Shell and P & G. I went for the briefing/networking session the night before and I was pretty intimidated because I felt like evryone else there was so much more qualified than I am. Anyways you are encouraged to drop your CVs with other companies at the event, in case you dont have any interviews lined up. Anyways I had my interview with Shell at 8am the following morning and although I was really nervour, my interviewer put me at ease. I then went round to drop my CV, and in some room you can look at a screen to see whether any companies are interested in interviewing you. For my part I was very tired and went home about 12pm, and two weeks later I was invited by Shell to the Recruitment Day, and the rest in history. By the way I din't bother myself with the P & G interview, I just couldnt be bothered to take the test. By the way the staff of CAI were very helpful, phoning me to make sure I was going to attend and stuff. All the best pal. |

Hi fresh2impr, Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate. Yeah, I currently reside and work in the Netherlands as a Banker. I am into Treasury operations and securities settlements. I do have the ambition to go work in Nigeria, and bring my experience, knowledge and exposure with me. I observe positive developments taking place in the Banking sector in Nigeria at the moment and I am really looking forward to putting in positive contributions in terms of STP, New innovations i.e. services and products, process improvement and enhancements etc. Yeah, I have been invited by Oceanic and Zenith Banks for an inteview at this event. This is for me some sort of orientational step, to see what their expectations, ambitions and offers are. Thank you very much for your response, it has in a way given me more insight into how things work at this event. |

no probz lawijo, always happy 2 share. Its good to see people who are willing to give something back. In my case, i felt that what i could do for my part was to bring a level of professionalism often lacking in Nigerian businesses to the table. The bank in my work place for example, the cashiers behave as if they are God's gift to mankind. They are so sluggish in everything. I feel that many Nigerians due to one factor or the other lack professionalism, even though I think this is changing. Customers should always be treated with dignity and respect. @ laxist, i attended in London. |

I'm supposed to be attending but I declined the invitation. It is a very good opportunity for any Nigerian in Europe that wants a good job back home. I was invited to an interview with Shell but declined because I don't see myself working for Shell. To clarify, let me say that I work for another oil company in Nigeria and am currently in the UK for my M.Sc. A lot of my Nigerian coursemates are going and some have interviews with all of Shell, Chevron, Agip and Halliburton. So it's a good opportunity as I mentioned above to have companies come meet you for interviews. |

Hello people, Kudos to you guys for sharing this info. Could you shed some more light on how the Career thing works e.g who qualifies to attend the fair, what Nigerian companies participate in the fairs, tests interviews etc. Thanks in anticipation of a response. |
Re: Careers In Africa 2007 Uk Summit, May '07 by debosky(m): 6:25pm On Oct 26, 2007 |
The fairs are organised by global careers company www.globalcareercompany.com A lot of companies participate at the fairs - Shell, Agip, Heineken, GE, Celtel, MTN, Oceanic Bank, BG Group, amongst others. you can get more info from their site.

After submitting an application, it will be examined and If you are qualified, then you will be invited to interview with one or more of the companies at the event. Visit the company site to get more information |
