The DC is not like AC where you'll still be invited for an interview if you're successful. All the interviews will be done on that day. So my opinion;
1. The dress code shouldn't be casual business wear even jeans for that matter.
2. The address on the email sent should be their full and complete formal address not just Oregun. Not everyone lives in lagos. So Unilever will prefer to use
full address to clarify where Oregun is in Lagos.
3. The email should also include a pnone number you can call in case you have any complains.
Please if this DC calls/invitations end up as I suspect some nairalanders here will face some disciplinary actions o!

Bro, we will just keep observing​ them o. I will not say anything again, will just be laughing and observing.

Hmmm... I feel I owe this thread atleast more clarification about this whole DC invitation saga.
Only on nairaland you'll find die-hard sceptics. People that can choose not to believe anything even when presented with fact. I now understand why we still have people that believe the earth is flat even in this 21st century.
Anyway, at the risk of sounding condescending, I'll humbly confirm AGAIN that the DC invite is actually real and the DC is scheduled to hold next week. I was sent the mail after the call (I still can't believe I got the mail while others are yet to know their fate).
We all started the race together, shared ideas and rubbed minds together and Unilever Nigeria decided to do what they did by calling a few first. Among the few they called, one or two of them felt the need to let the house know about it the little they can, but what did they get? Backlash, being called cowards and trying to out rightly guilt-trip them. It just ain't fair. I'm pretty sure atleast one more person here was among those called (aside from myself and Dazzle1.2), but with the way we treated Dazzle1.2 when he broke the story to us and the subsequent pressure we put on him to even go as far as to screenshot his DC IV mail, no other person would want to go through that, and thus, such person will just quietly go on and prepare for his DC while occasionally reading some of our post and shaking his head.

Trust me, I would feel the same way like most of us are, but calling people names, doubting even the screenshot of their mail and trying to guilt-trip them just so they would spill more are some of the things I can't imagine myself doing.
By the way, the DC might be in batches, atleast since they haven't sent regret mail yet, why not just sit back and wait hopefully for your mail while wishing those that have gotten already success in their Assessment.

Also some people still go ahead to ask very direct and specific questions like the name of the person that called me. Seriously, when I saw that question I was scared.
Firstly, why do you need the name? Are you a staff of Unilever Nigeria on nairaland trying to verify stuffs? Those were some of the questions that came into my mind immediately I saw that. The reason is because, on the Unilever Online Collaboration Platform we were assigned to, in order for us to carry out research before the DC day. Those of us that were called, the person that called us, plus a Unilever recruiter(it is clearly stated in front of the persons name) are all in that group. The person that made the call and the Unilever recruiter are both there to supervise and monitor us so that we do what's expected of us before the DC day. I don't know how many groups are out there, I'm not even sure Dazzle1.2 is in that my group. So when someone decided to ask about the name of the person in that called me, the question sounded more like that of an insider (a Unilever staff) or even one of us that were successful and that maybe he/she was just trying to know if I'm in the same group with him/her. That was the reason I refused to answer that question.

I know I'm not obligated to give all these explanations, but I understand what we all went through (and are still going through) in this recruitment, that's why I'm taking my time out to explain these things.
Please we should be civil and respect each others choices here. Guilt-tripping and name-calling isn't the best approach to verify claims.

I wish us all the best though.

Hello every1, pls has any1 else gotten a call from Unilever apart from dazzle 12 and sunny...I kno there have been some controversies about this call thing and a lot of persons might just want to keep silent about it...this will just ruin this thread for us and future applicants. So I appeal to those that have received a call to inform us still awaiting ours so we kno if the DC might me in batches or not. I wish those that their DC is slated for 24th May success in advance and will be delighted if we get an insight of what the DC is about when u are done. Thanks

true caller app

Good evening everyone!

Congratulations to those who have received invite for DC.

I want to ask if there's anyone who had competent evidence as his remark after the video interview has been called.

I almost certain that the DC is a day or is it in batches?
I am just trying to be positive.

I wish to be part of the world of sustainable living.

I wasnt called. Still expecting the call

All the best sunnystooth, dazzle12 and all those attending DC today.

Sunnystooth:
I got the call almost same time with the one I missed the other day (around 2:10pm) today.
The lady on the phone first asked me to confirm my age to her, I told her. She then said I should hold on for like a minute, which I did. When she came back on, she told me that my age is more than the required for the post. That the age limit was below 26years...(by the way, I am 28)...She said why did I apply and all that. I told her no age restriction was stated in the job advert. She then said when I was applying didn't I see the option bla bla bla... She then said she can't stop me now at this level, that she will send the Discovery centre invitation mail to me that I passed excellently well bla bla bla... But she said I might get kicked out at the final stage when my age comes into scrutiny.

They later sent a text message congratulating me again and an email containing my invitation details... The DC is 24th of May by the way.

But my headache now is that I dont know whether to take the risk and travel to Lagos for the DC when age might just be against me even if I succeed.

Any suggestions please?

I'm just tired about the whole thing sef.

Gudmrn, does it mean one has to download truecaller app like u said @esrh

Wait until you hear from them please. Not saying you should put all your hopes on them. But don't give up like this yet. I think it's too early dear. I'm trying to be objective to all the info I receive here about the recruitment

NO PROFESSIONAL RECRUITER WOULD GIVE SUCH INFO.... BESIDES, THEY CAN'T JUST RECRUIT AND TRAIN 6....IT'S ETHICAL AND COST SAVING WITH MORE.... PLUS, IT ALLOWS YOU CHOOSE.... THE INFO ABOVE IS TRASH AND SHOULD BE DISCARDED...

HOWEVER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT ON UNILEVER.... CHECK OTHER OPTIONS AS WELL.... ALL THE BEST IN OUR PROSPECTIVE CAREERS....

The emboldened words don't tally. Did you submit any video entry?

Kawlingz:

No. I only did the online games. and since then they said they will get back to me ooh. I was surprise with there reply too.

Hey guys, there are similar jobs from other multinationals (AB InBev, BAT, KPMG, Deloitte). I think you should apply for them while keeping tabs on Unilever.

how was the ac like

Sunnystooth:

Thanks a lot for the advice and the well-wishes Keal.007. I really appreciate. Wish you the best too.

got your msg but couldn't access the mail anymore, u can shoot me a mail at lawunmi. e@mail. com

Sunnystooth... I guess you attended the DC .. Pls what did it look like and is there any possibility that there will be another batch to attend. Pls reply ASAP thanks.

Aloyhood:
Sunnystooth... I guess you attended the DC .. Pls what did it look like and is there any possibility that there will be another batch to attend. Pls reply ASAP thanks.

It looks basically like what was described online by several sources... Also we were told that there will be more DCs and that we should be careful about the information we give out to those coming ahead of us (those are the words of the HR), else they'll stand better chance bla bla bla... So keep hoping, some more people might be called or already called, I dunno. Just get tips online (just like we did) about the DC if you are finally invited and give it your best shot. All the best.
