Bro, the truth is a good and thorough interview shouldn't be less than 20-30min unless the job you are being interviewed for doesn't require a great degree of competence. Using 3-5mins to introduce yourself wouldn't be out of place because it gives the interviewer an overview of who you are and what you bring to the table. As regards the CV, the power of your Cv most of the time ends at the application stage where probably the Cv got you the interview or test invite. Inability to prove to the interviewer that you are the right person for the job may spell doom. I have been to interviews where i was still asked my class of degree and course of study despite it being highlighted boldly on my Cv. One of the myth of interviews is that the best qualified person gets the job. This isn't true, rather the person who performs best at the interview gets the job.
The bottom line is to always see any question asked as an opportunity to highlight your strength.

tanx so much

woskey411: pls house when you are asked to introduce your self , briefly tell them your names , were you come from , your course and school simple dont go much further so that your interviewers will not see you as a talkeractive. SUCCESS

hmmm... No need to plead the house on hw to do that. U do it ur way and others can handle theirs. Bt ur suggestion is way too shallow cos even a primary skul pupil can make such an introduction.

kushy: NO, i did nt saw d advert.

hmmm... Mind dat grammar

sylvo:



I have an account with Nogic jqs and I ve filled and uploaded everything, but I'm yet to get a competency I'd, please I want to know if its because I don't have any oil and gas related experience....pls I need help from peeps that received invites. Thanks in anticipation

Double27: Pls guyz do I have to apply for a particular job opening after registering my profile at NOGIC JQS before am shortlisted for a test/interview.

Chinyerefrancis:
I tire o. Its now becoming annoying. Pls o nobody shld mention ikenna58 again abeg. Also, if u r nt saying anything abt PWC nd d verification test, kindly forget ur hands in ur pocket instead of coming here 2 cause confusion. Thank you.

And you really believe the thread will remain this lively without these exchanges. These are the make up of an interesting thread. I didnt apply for pwc but I have not failed to read any post here because while I find them interesting, I also learn from them. ... And last time I checked, none of these exchanges have blocked any relevant pwc info from dropping, rather, they keep placing the thread on the front page or do you want to run a  search down to page 10?
Cheers!

Cheers!
