itsMrIke:


Since you had a BA why didn't you just apply for SO II directly? Why did you apply with your OND.
Security Cadet is for SSCE holders, why will you apply for that?
If you are familiar with mass recruitment exercises, you will know that when they grade cadres and put minimum qualifications on each cadre, you are expected to apply for the one your qualifications falls into the minimum.
This is not logic, it is just the way it is. Most of you erred in that regard. But it is a good thing they stopped chasing people out, then again Nairaland should be thanked for that since it was complaints from here that were addressed.

I buy ur idea bros, I apply for ASS with my NCE which which de minimum qualification, though I have my B.sc
During my accreditation which came bfor interview, the FAAN asked me which position I applied for I said ASS, the next question was where is ur NCE certificate, before other this credential follows. @teamEnugu
I tink de minimum qualification stated is de required qaulification for each position otherwise there won't be any need of talking about Upgrading people to the appropriate Cadre.
My own point of view sha

alimat216:
I can categorically tell u that those that applied for level 6 with their b.sc in vein they all applied coz in the fist place they don't understand a common instructions.

Mr Man u are not God and those pple will be favoured by God's grace. Though no firm is willing to offer Bsc holder a level 6 job but I wish my colleagues best of luck as all things are possible by God's mercy.

Bro, I need to correct u cos u are wrong!
1. security cadet is not for SSCE holders, in fact none of all d vacancies has SSCE as minimum requirement.
2. Majority who applied for lower cadre job with higher qualifications simply do that out of their discretion mainly to increase their chances, like me now, immediately I saw that level 8 combines B.sc&HND, It took me only one minute to decide on level 7, cos anyone familiar with mass recruitment moreso in 9ja will know that d competition @ DAT category 8 will b too high &ur chances low. cos I know that more than 90% of youth unemployed are in that category (B.sc/HND). So, y won't I choose lower cadre if that could guarantee me better chance( isn't 1/2 bread better than none).
3. It is not our nairaland complaint that influence their decision to accept, rather it is d persistence of many candidate and their troubling them both @ d centres & on their contacts including email & phone. In Lagos they refuse to let them be & hang around in d premises. Many of d officials who interview us are not involved in shortlisting hence they had to hold meeting & agree to continue d process next day & pass d info across to other centers.
Finally, NOTE THIS:
IF u fall into category level 8 & have made it to interview level, & if majority of those u are condemning for choosing lower cadre had applied for level 8 as well, U PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THE SHORTLIST IN THE FIRST PLACE!
so pls, learn to respect people's decision, it is their descretion.
thanks.

Listen to me young man. I am not condemning anyone here.
I am telling what happened in my centre in Enugu. I never heard of nairaland until it was mentioned by the FAAN official. If you check my profile you will see I just registered recently. So I know what I am talking about.

About you thinking my chances would have dwindled had all of you applied directly for SO II is bull-crap. My score got me selected, not the number of people who applied/wrote the test. Hope you know that the score used for considering ASS and Security cadet were lower than the score used for selecting those of us in SO II. So you see, if you had applied directly, you most probably wouldn't have been selected for PFT. So save me that crap.

Lastly, there were 3 categories for security and 3 for fire. Now I am certain you didn't really read the instructions on the site.

Bros no mind this guy again........ E belike say english language na him problem....... Minimum is in the dictionary he should get the meaning before coming here to argue blindly.

I just feel sorry for you. You are hyperactive for nothing.
It is really silly.

Bro, i have seen the way you talk with people here, i can't say am that impressed, i raised the question because my friend was one of the unfortunate ones that were sent away simply because they applied for a wrong cadre position, have u ever thought it could have been you? And here you are refusing to admit that it can be a mistake to apply for a position you are more qualified than... pls brother don't be too defensive about this issue, now let me cite an example, the former Navy recruitment for Tradesmen and Non-tradesmen clearly warned that people with a higher certificate should not apply and if they do, and tender their certificates after they have been shortlisted, it won't be accepted!

plz aos can ll just focus on apl for 1nx?

There is that silliness again...kiddo!!

I brought up this argument because I am actually wondering a situation whereby an HND/BSC applicant dat applied for level 6 position ll be remunerated same as OND applicant. Definitely the graduate applicant wunt be happy working there. Meaning no job satisfaction. Well FAAN knows what to do.

I tayya 4 some PPu

I can see u really do not know the criteria used to shortlist candidates, According to FAAN site, Candidates compete with others for slot allocated to their state. I don't wanna know wat your score is but u should know that surely more than 60% of those shortlisted from UR state under ASS & SC probably score more than u. Mr!
so if they had applied like u, one of them would have taken UR slot. like it or not, this is d truth.
Lest I forget, it was categorically stated on FAAN site that "CANDIDATE WITH M.SC ARE CONSIDERED OVER QUALIFIED FOR SECURITY CADET AND ASSISTANT FIRE SUPERINTENDENT" only.
note: they only said M.sc so what's u guys problem abt B.sc people for Gods sake?
habaa! na busy they worry una!

My brother! Have been following all sensible and senseless contributions as they come in torrents. Need I say, some bored folks want attention and are actually getting one. They come on here to spew gibberish, and at best they tell blatant lies to secure a mention.
Make no mistake, am enjoying my behind the scene role while I await my APL.
NB: Am in constant touch with Osagiemi and itsMrIke via bbm.

THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD INFO. BROTHER, IF YOU KNOW MORE TELL US, PLEASE.

TeamENUGU.

Please I need an advice,

I applied for the FAAN job as AFS and I also reached the interview stage, while patiently waiting for my precious APL I got a call from my big bros from Lafia, he asked me to submit my CV to his email and he told me to be ready for interview in UBA bank in Lafia any moment from now.

My problem here is that, I studied architecture and I want a job that will give me time to practice my profession and I'm scared not to make a wrong choice because I don't know which of the job I should be praying for, although I know that federal government job is the best but will I have time to practice my profession?

Please advice only and don't insult.
Thanks.
