Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Nigeria Police 2016 Recruitment Of 10,000 Personnel by fvcxze: 11:17pm On May 28, 2017
No fewer than 500 candidates already shortlisted for the ASP and Special Inspector cadate jobs in the Nigerian Police Force were suddenly replaced with names of those who never participated in a series of tests for the recruitment programme in 2016, according to some of the affected candidates. They complained that it was after their names had appeared in the publication made by by the committee that they discovered some manipulation innthevexercise Narrating her experirnce on the issue, Miss Elly Oge, who said her name was among those directed to report at the Police College Jos said: “There was no communication telling us of any change in date until we reported at Jos, as instructed . ” But the first embarrassment for me, having travelled from Lagos , at the gate of the school was the programme had been postponed. “However, we later noticed that people were being given accommodation, and none of them was part of screened candidates, nor were they at the previous stages of the writtrn , oral and medical tests that we had undergone.” Another candidate , Mr. George Abang, said he travelled from Calabar for the final exercise only to meet entirely a new set of candidates.whom he had been interacting with in the previous exercises. “One of them later advised me to go for a top politician or someone, who knows people in the police top hierarchy for me to be given a chance . ” But i felt this is not what I bargain for, moreover, I don’t know anyhody in that cadre ,” Confirming havong received similar complaints from.some of the disaffected candidates, a lawyer in the chambers of Adebgoruwa, legal practioner and human rights activist, they had addressed somec letters the Senate President; Bodila Saraki, Minister of Labour snd Productivity, Chris Ngige, as well as the Chairman, Nigerian Police Service Commission , Mike Okiro and other offices that should have some.say on the matter, adding that no reply had come from them till the time of oing to press. The said letter , signed by Mr Kingdley Izimah, ESQ, and dated Friday, March 10, 2017 reads in part: “We are Solicitors to 260 shortlisted successful applicants under the “ASP and Inspector Specialist Cadet” category in the just concluded 2016 Police recruitment exercise, who are awaiting resumption at the various Nigeria Police College training camps, (hereafter referred to as ‘our Client’) on whose behalf and instruction we write this letter. “”Consequent upon this development and publication of the names of successful applicants, our client and the other 260 shortlisted successful “ASP and Inspector Specialist Cadet” applicants patiently waited to be called by the Police Service Commission to resume training at the Police College, only for them to be informed that another group of people who did not undergo recruitment process, aptitude test, physical screening and documentation have been fraudulently injected and unjustly enrolled into the Police College training camp to replace the “ASP and Inspector Specialist Cadet” category under ambiguous circumstances and without clearly defined criteria for eligibility and in contravention of the Federal Character as guaranteed under the Constitution. ” Upon further inquiry, our client was informed by the Permanent Secretary of the Police Service Commission that the recruitment exercise was over and that there is nothing the Police management can do.” “We decided to approach your good offices as a means of preserving the Constitutional provisions laid down in section 14 (3) of the 1999 Constitution which states that: “3 –the composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from few States or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that Government or in any of its agencies”. “Given the controversies trailing the 2016 Police recruitment exercise, we urge your good offices to properly investigate this case in order not to jeopardize our national security or create a situation of panic that may affect the nation negatively.” Despite this approach, there has not been any change in approach to issues raised by the letter. But the shortchanged candidates said they would want their case be investigated as to be given back their position, unconditionally . An aide to the chairman.of.the Nigerian Police Commission, Chief Mike. Okiro, told emagazine.com.ng that the case was being looked into . “We receive a deluge of letters daily, which makes it seem.as if there is a.delay on any matter. If their allegation.is correct, justice must prevail,” he stated..

Simple Ways to Answer Tricky Interview Questions

A couple of years ago, my idea of a job interview was being in front of a hard, unsmiling panel and having extremely difficult questions thrown at me, like rocks. However, when I got invited for my first interview, I realized this is not always the case.

A job interview does not have to be tense. In fact, you may find yourself with a very friendly panel, who will go all out to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

However, irrespective of the size and manner of the panel you are faced with, what is required of you is confidence and of course, the appropriate answers to every question you are asked. This part is what’s tricky.

So, in this post, we’d be looking at the simple ways to answer 5 tricky questions you are likely to get in your job interview.

1. Tell Me About Yourself.

This question seems very straightforward. Usually, the first you’d be asked in an interview. However, it is tricky because though it sounds like an invitation to tell your life story, it is not.

When asked the ‘tell me about yourself’ question, what the hiring panel is actually asking you is to tell them about yourself, as it pertains to the position you are applying for.

With this in mind, you should not begin to share generic information about yourself, your family or how many siblings you have. Rather, you could start with your name, academic qualifications, present skills and strengths, previous experiences as well as future professional aspirations. You should also feel free to ask the interviewers for clarifications, just in case there are specific information they’d like to hear about.

Take this for instance:

Question: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Wrong Answer: Hmmn, where do I start? My name is Oluwaseun. I was born in the late 80s and currently married with 6 kids. …

Right Answer: My name is Oluwaseun, a second-year master’s student of marketing communications at the Lagos Business School. Prior to pursing this degree, I worked with the marketing and communications department at Shell, where I developed and honed my skills in copywriting and digital marketing. This experience really piqued my interest in this field and I look forward to an opportunity to learn more and contribute to your marketing communications department…

2. Where do you See Yourself in Five Years?

This question is tricky because you might be tempted to say everything you see yourself doing in five years and completely miss the mark. Like the first question, your answer should be much more professional than personal. What the hiring panel really wants to know is if you are going to stick with them and if you are worth the investment of training.

To answer this question, you could tell them how you think the job will provide you with so many opportunities, such that in 5 years, you'd be in a particular position within the organisation. You can also explain what value you hope to have added as well as how you could also have improved yourself professionally in that time.

Take this for instance:

Question: Where do you see yourself in five years?

Wrong Answer: In five years, I’d be a millionaire, enjoying life. I’d have built a house and would probably be the CEO of this company …

Right answer: In five years, I hope to have acquired a lot of knowledge in marketing communications, as well as contributed immensely to the growth of my department and the company. I’m also looking forward to eventually taking on additional managerial responsibilities and possibly taking the lead on some projects…

3. What is your Greatest Weakness?

Like the first two, this question is also very tricky because you might be tempted to give personal, instead of professional answers.

When asked this question, what interviewers actually want to know is if or not you are consciously aware of the areas you could improve on. Your weakness does not have to be present. It could be something that you’ve already worked on, but say it anyway. I’d advise that you think about this question before the interview, so you don’t give a generic answer or be at a loss of what to say. No one would believe you if you say you have no weakness.

To answer this question, start by mentioning the weakness, how it poses a problem to your work or career and how you’ve started to work on improving.

Take this for instance:

Question: What is your greatest weakness?

Wrong answer: Hmmn, my greatest weakness is to sleep. I could sleep all day…

Right answer: I used to have to have a problem with time management and this affected me every time I tried to multitask. Currently, I’m working on this through the use of certain time management tools.

4. What did you Hate About your Last Job?

This question is tricky because you might be tempted to spill all the beans about why you hated your boss, the work, the timing - all of it! This is wrong, because as Kachi Tila-Adesina puts it, the interviewers might already begin to picture you sitting elsewhere and literally dragging their name and their organisation in the mud as well.’

To answer this question, start by saying how beneficial the job was, before going to state one or two things you could have changed, if given the opportunity. Also, explain why you think the role you are now applying for is a better fit.

If you did not hate your last job, you can say so. This response can also be adapted, just in case you are asked why you are leaving your current position.

Take this for instance:

Question: What did you hate about your last job?

Wrong answer: Ooh, my boss! I hated my boss! …

Right answer: Well, my last job did offer me an opportunity to learn and grow in my career. However, I think it would have been better if such opportunity was granted in a less hostile work environment... I believe that working here would not just give me a better opportunity to grow, but also a conducive and comfortable work environment, which is very important to growth.

5. How much are you looking to be paid?

Now, this question is tricky because well, money is involved and while you don’t want to short-change yourself, you wouldn’t want to price yourself out of range either!

I know money is very important but when asked this question, don’t jump at the opportunity to scream ‘one million naira!’ Instead, you should have done your research on the organisation you are coming into and how much is standard for the role you are applying for.

If you are aware of how much the company really wants to hire you, say because of your expertise and skills, you can negotiate your salary right there. However, if this is not the case, you’ll need to fall back on the information you’ve gathered on what the going rate is, for the position you’re being interviewed for. In the worst case scenarios, you can request to know more about the role’s responsibilities and benefits packages. You should also mention how you are willing to discuss further when the time is right.

Take this for instance:

Question: How much are you looking to be paid?

Wrong answer: I can’t take anything less than ‘One million naira’!

Right answer: That's a fair question. To answer it properly, I'd need to know more about the role’s responsibilities and benefits package. I am quite confident that knowing the reputation of the company, when the time comes, any offer you make will be competitive.”

There you have it, the simple ways to answer tricky questions in your next job interview. Of course, there are quite a lot more tricky questions than I’ve listed. And while researching for this post, I found a couple of materials on tricky interview questions, which I think you’ll also find helpful. I’ve labelled them material 1, material 2, material 3 and material 4, respectively.

Finally, if you have any questions concerning job search, preparing for an interview or anything career-related, do feel free to ask.
