Marxxx: You have to look at the bigger picture, this task was a test by the Senior Partner, when responsibilities are delegated it's a way of testing you, if you have dreams of making a partner, it's not something you can avoid. You finding team work uncomfortable is another problem you need to work on, no matter how smart you think you are, you can never be perfect, when you're in team, it's their job to cover up that weakness up for you.

Mrlekan07034617: You are very wrong, Marxxx was just incompetent cos much more is expected from him by the applicants, but he lost it with an elementary math as a question because he himself was so empty not knowing what to ask after over an hour of notification. this can only be justifiable if he gives about 10 of similar questions based on time and take an average response. he simply failed them because they could outshine him on the job. 2 Likes |

Snipes009: Look here bro, I really won't exchange words with you because its very obvious that you are either one of the jobless old fool ranting around nairaland or you are just some tramp with a lazy man's job typing trash. I don't need to check or search for your level of education but would tell you perfectly here that if you've got no job yet try and pray God grant you MERCY for one or rather you have one and not really comfortable with it, then do the needful. I owe you no obligation keep answering questions from little kids like you, if you always like to place your anger on people who will do nothing than tell you blatant truth then you still have a lot to go in developing your orientation. If you really want to do some tackling, then PM me and let's do it man to man, I don't fall for such trash games of yours on a public forum. Once again try calm your nerves because it won't take you anywhere, go pour some chilled water on your head and relax because your ranting HERE doesn't really change matters. Finally, HRs of companies here on nairaland won't see your ranting and change their methodology of selection of recruits. You can continue to quote me and I expect your response soonest Shalom!! 2 Likes |

Seriously!! @poster u are a terrible person. What can a BA (Bachelor of Art) do with that kind of math, by standard you are even Lucky to get dat ratio of success, because out of five, you are suppose to get a success rate of less than one, probably!! the girl dat passed might have missed her way into Art. More so, is academic grade, really!! a trough measure for work success? SMH! 1 Like |

kolaaderin: Sir, I'm sure you must have gone through some interview sections before or rather must have heard people's experience when it comes to Job interviews. You will notice that recruits get to see the unexpected and only God's intervention saves such days. The blatant truth is that some HRs or who ever will anchor interview sections do funny things just to make sure they do their part in the whole processes. Now come to think of it, what made 4 fell out and 1 retained was simply "mental stress strength". Even NGC, Shell and some other sets of companies do that to scrutinize their recruits. God will help us all in this country and I pray graduates will someday have jobs much enough to contain them all.... Amen!!! 1 Like |

Tesiday: Please dont channel your displeasure of the Op assessment method of using basic algebra to assess the candidates towards me, i dont see anything wrong with the question or the method.Its not my fault or any persons fault that a graduate cant answer the high school maths question, afterall every graduate is supposed to have passed maths with at least a credit in high school even if he/she is to study History or English in the University. 2 Likes |

answer is 4. although the question is simple and basic general mathematics for sec sch. the op did not specify the course the applicants studied and type of job their applied for. one cannot expect one who has 1.1 degree on Music to answer this question accurately and within the time frame. or someone who apply for job of accountant to answer the basic physics questions on motions and basic chemistry of periodic table |

Marxxx: what you did is pure wickedness, you may think you are smart. but you are being wicked to yourself, the younger generation and your company. firstly, i want to believe these applicants did aptitude test, bringing this up at this stage would have made sense if you wanted to pick just one person. Seems you don't know what it takes to organize recruitment. if it was my coy, you will be fired. Exams has never been the true taste of knowledge, if you are really an hr, you should know this. Further more, that kind of question at this stage of recruitment can unsettle anyone. I'll stop here, i have better things to attend to, repent or you will reap what you sow, don't think that those who graduated with first class are fools if that was what you wanted to proof. 4 Likes |

Lmaooo! Now, you are the one ranting, not me. Fyi, I own two companies where I can give you a good job that'd make your whole family rich. The question I asked you is being currently solved by a team of engineers and researchers in one of my companies. Those are people with brains, trying to develop a new method to measure wrinkles on packaging materials for some of our products, which I'm sure you'd have come across in Nigerian stores before or perhaps, if you have been to foreign countries. Anyway, for me offering you N500,000 to solve a question (oh, you want me to double or triple that? I can) and you couldn't, instead you are here ranting, shows that your very 1st comment which I quoted, is a fallacy! See nigga, you can read as wide as you can, get versatile as versatile can be, but you can't know it all. One arithmetic question shouldn't be used to judge, especially a group of 5 prospective job seekers who has come that far. If the company only wanted one of them cos the vacancy is for one, then fine. But the opening they have is for 5 and those guys are the best 5. You wouldn't be able to relate to this since you haven't seen as far as I have or employed hundreds of people as I have - you are still puerile in your thinking ability. NB: MR. VERSATILITY, you still have some scores of hours to answer the damn question for NGN 1,500,000. ((((I don't mind you seeking help from your "I too sabi and I dey read wide" advocates. Sha assist my company get to the bottom of this issue of wrinkles on packaging materials ))))).....Mothafucka Mrlekan07034617: 3 Likes |

Snipes009: LWKMD!!! I care less cos I don't give a shit about your money, just relax your soul for a seconds and even your so called "Employees" will be disappointed at the level of STUPIDITY u just displayed. Display the name of your company here and become an "element" of ridicule before the whole world. Look Mr CEO go to hell with your money!! However, with all due respect, I'm surprise at your level of "insanity" when you refuse to accept the simple fact that simple mathematical equations could help anyone any where. Now tell me if your so called "research term" don't make use of mathematical models? Which require elementary knowledge of mathematics. Just drop all and accept it that when it comes to job interviews expect anything elementary irrespective your field of study. Just keep ranting here its a free world and I expect your response soonest.... 5 Likes |

nouvelle:And I was wondering were dis my beloved sis in whom I'm well pleased in,went to and voila she mentions me here,lol! Nice too read from you sis and by the way when will you ever get over this "mbok" thing(I doubt she will o,hahaha) And to the post,I read the @Op's post and a few comments for and against the stance he took. Hmm for me,he ddnt do well tho. For someone who was jiitery and ddnt know wat to do at 1st now looking for a way out to cover his "incompetence",its not fait what he did. There are times we look inward. Some pple might not appear to look OK for the job but with proper training and retraining(recruiters tho find it hard to spare time to do such)the person might jus be the one to take the organisation to the next leve level. That been said,I have read quite few very brilliant posts here and I really wish too be like soome here(intellectually wise) please o I like to be mentored o. Anyone willing to help? I don't have money to pay o,mbok,lol! Got one of my big aunts here tho (she's trying too in bulinding me up,plenty e-hugs for you sis me,hugs) 1 Like |

Aremu01: If the op sincerely wanted to test nairalanders on basic reasoning, then all he had to state in the thread was that (5 first class graduates were given this elementary maths to solve and only 1 got the correct answer right, ill give the first person that gives me the correct answer N2000 recharge card. let the contest begin!) No he didnt do that, but the retard gave a long epistle of how brilliant he was working for the best company in the world and how he so enjoyed the experience of screwing 4 first class applicants. From the narrative you can tell he had fun doing it 6 Likes |

Dear OP, I have three things to say. 1. If you were in the shoes of these kids and you were judged based on what I've seen of your written English on Nairaland, I bet you will have been bounced. 2. Mr Financial Analyst. Do you have CFA? 3. In your role, you will have overtime been able to determine the top key traits required by an associate trainee to succeed in your organisation. A smart 'oga' would have considered channelling his assessment around testing these traits rather than setting JAMB. Or what do you think? |

RiloKiley: I have a job. A very good one. Was a manager or an organization. It was a stupid way to determine job performance. I would have had second thoughts about the OP if I were his boss. The problem was elementary and showed nothing at all but that the OP has an ego issue. If I am coming to do engineering work and a person asks me the cost of tea in China, of course I will miss it unless I am being hired to build a tea making factory in China. Do trust me that when word gets back, they may not say anything but it will be discussed at the meeting that he does not know about. 1 Like |

Jwhizzy: Or would have asked them to assess the financial strength of a fake company or guess a forecast for s month that has already occurred based on some numbers and current events. This would have shown their financial knowledge and reasoning skills. Then talk about their answer in a group. This would have further shown their reasoning skills, ability to bounce back from failure, and verbal communication skills. But to each his own |
