Omg..I heard the sounds of the bombs as i was going to Terminus to get some stuff. I thought it was a car tyre that got burst ony to later hear from passersby that it was a twin bomb. Once Gombe and Bauchi had been bombed, I was hoping that Jos would also not be targeted. Holy shit

Hello people.

I want to notarize my documents before submitting them to LMU Munich. However I am worried about the issue of seal. The notary person here told me that they dont use a big seal anymore but rather they use something like a stapler to impress the seal on your document. Please will this be acceptable by German schools?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Eni, so great of you to post these pics..i remember dat camp fondly..quite neat and much fun..i was in platoon 5 nd i loved d morning fitness...moooraale...hiigh

Anjiola: Hi @Saifullah01, you should try and get your official transcripts or atleast a printout from your uni and everything else they ask for as McKinsey uses everything (Application form, CV, Cover letter, School grades(transcript), leadership questionnaire ETC) to make a decision on whether to invite you for the PST.
I wouldnt worry about moving to Lagos just yet if I were you I mean you're not even sure you will be invited for the PST yet, so take it all in small steps, we're still far off from getting into Mckinsey. Last year about 201,000 candidates applied to Mckinsey, and only about 2000 recieved offers, that's about 1% or 1 in 100. So take it in steps, when you are about to receive the offer, that will be a good time to decide whether you should move to Lagos
In terms of Salary, not sure about Analysts. But for Associates, I heard from a friend who worked there in Admin that its over 1m and great benefits like Car, business class travel on biz trips to exciting places etc.

Anjiola, all dese tins u r saying about McKinsey Lagos r not accurate..McKinsey Lagos invited evry1 who submitted all required documents.. dey dont screen d leadership questions.. dats because dey dont av as many applicants as New York or some oda place abroad..see I know dis coz I submitted my documents nd den mailed HR(Abi is her name) nd dey scheduled me for a test immediately..secondly McKinsey Lagos is not as competitive as McKinsey offices in US or Europe..so ur statistic of 1% is not reflective of Nigeria..as long as u r on d general BA or Associate level u wud get d offer..d partners fully understand dis point..dey previously did d PST for 1hr but almost nobody cud pass it..dat y dey had to increase it to 1hr 30mins so dat dey can at least av pple to interview..dont be too gingered..just prepare hard..i hope u get d offer tho

Anjiola:

@ababio, thanks for your reply, but REALLY??, McKinsey didnt give you an offer because they said you spoke too fast for their non-Nigerian clients?? That seems very far-fetched. They let a great candidate go just because of how you spoke? What, they couldn't tell you to speak slower.. Mckinsey is hardly the place that will you give such a blase feedback, such a global company will have people with vast accents and language skills from allover the world. Besides it will be a legal case of discrimination if they gave such a feedback. I think its more about how well you solved the cases than anything else.

Just my thoughts

Anjiola, I hear you..I told you what they said and you dispute! Why should I come and lie here..d truth is dat when d competition is so stiff..dey av to pull back some pple and so any excuse wud do..i interviewed flr d YLP and i think dey only wanted 4 pple since it was a special program.. d feedback was dat "you did mostly well on d cases but d partners r worried dat you speak tok fast and we think there would be a problem with our non-Nigerian clients in understanding you.". So please stop talking all this legal things or whatever..i hope u get d job..but if u don't den u wud appreciate nd understand my POV..all d best

yungreezy: Can non engineers apply? No harm in trying right? This job search tho!

Non engineers can apply if u studied any of d courses listed in d job advertisement. But non engineers nd non scientists can generally not apply for dis role.

Saifullah..see u can send in unofficial transcripts for now..i mean u can just list out the courses you took and your grades..dats okay for now..d salary is really gokd..i dont know exactly.. but u shud move to Lagos if u get d job coz d salary is nore dan enuf for dat..for now focus only on d job..d interviews r really challenging and dats d most important part now..forget d cash..download materials AND PREPARE..BEST OF LUCK

Okay..am in Jos now

careytommy:

Hi man..its not fraud..they dont wanna help me get the permit..rather they want me to obtain one first before interviews. Do you have any idea how I can process it?

@KingEbuka, its sad dat all u said doesnt prove Gods existence. Hear this, I am a Muslim, but even as one, I have not seen concrete physical proof of God's existence. Loom at Daviens post and u wud realize dat ur points were logically debunked. As for me, I keep believing (look at d name: "belief"..it means acceptance of smth by heart wtout any concrete proof) and hoping i wud find evidence for God's existence.. we religious people r very logical in our evryday lives, but when it comes to religion, we become irrational and violent wt our views..let me ask u, do u bliv evry non-christiam is going to hell? If u do, den understand dat d Muslims also bliv dat evry non-Muslim is going to hell.. so who is correct now..plus, dere r many oda religions in d world evry1 claiming he is ryt..and u Christians wontallow ur members to read Quran, and same wt Muslims too..its all a piece of shit jor..sumtyms I wonder how I still believe..

For u Ebuka, it doesnt mata if a person is atheist or Muslim or wateva..as long as such a person doesn't bliv in Jesus, den its hell for d person..does it not sound like crap to u?

Hey man.. all d best.. u wud have 2-3 interviews in d first round with associates nd Engagement Managers. They wud test u on your leadership nd also on a business case..if u avent already done so, den dowoad Case in Point by Marc Cosentino and also download MBA case books to practice..also log on to consultingcase101(dot)com to find practice partners on Skype..d interviews r not difficult.. especially because dey r interviewer-led..dey wud give u a case about a company's profit decline and how u can help dem icrease it..or a case about a taxi driver, and how he can increase sales..or case about a mayor and how he can tame care of motherless kids..these r d kind of stuffs u shud expect..if u r successful, den u wud meet wt 3 partners and dey wud follow d same pattern..except dat d cases may not be very long as in d first round..after dis, dey wud call u to give u an offer by God's grace..

For more help, reach me on 081.798.776.9..i wud be glad to help..I met wt d partners but didnt get d offer..coz dey said I spoke too fast for their non-Nigerian cliets..best of luck

Truth is that you may have to do a masters degree first..i wud av advised u to ronse it, but along d line it wud backfire..so put ur DSS ambitions aside for now, and do a masters first..den apply using all d connections uve got..dat way, it wud neva backfire..i also wanna do SSC, but I am not 24 yet, so I wud do a masters first den apply..by then I wud be 24.

All d best bro

Hi all.. a UK engineering firm are willing to interview me, but they said I should show them a valid UK work permit first. Based on my searches online, i found out that you need a job first before you can get the permit, and I explained to them but to no avail. I would be glad if fellow NLs can give me ideas on how I can apply for and get the work permit quickly..thanks all

Hi guys..thanks for al d info. I have also messaged one or two peeps here. Guys I have previously used glasses to correct my shortsightedness but it was very mild..I wanna know if this wud affect me at the interviews next yr..so for example, can they overlook it if a respectable officer stands in for me..also, do u guys know exactly what they test for in the ECGand X-ray? I had actually done ECG b4 when I got employment at a company, and there was no problem..i hope it wud be same with nda. I plan to write GCE Neco this October and then JAMB next year and I hope I make it. I already av a BSc in elect elect from Unilag and am doing my youth service in Jos, but the RC course is always on my mind. I dont expect to find the tests and examinations difficult, but I am only worried bout the medicals..anyone with general advice for me shud help out and I would greatly appreciate it..thanks a lot guys
