Au contraire. I have been in interviews where the 'Tell me about yourself' question can be used by a canny person to set the tone and pace of the interview.

Trunky:
I just finished mine. For those that are yet to go for theirs, please note that the question "tell us about yourself " carries no mark. If you are asked simply tell them your name and any other info about you that is not on your CV. If u don't have any info about yourself that is not on your CV, simply respond like " my name is xxxxxx xxxxxx and everything about me is on my CV". Even if u tell them anything about you that is not on your CV, u will still not be given any additional mark. So we were told by a member of the panel before we went in.Also prepare for safety questions because there is mostly likely going to be a HSE person on the panel. For the technical guys also expect a maintenance person in the panel. Questions are strictly from your CV and nothing else. Good luck to everyone.

Macgyver1:
So much bad energy in here, you guys just succeeded in making the young man deactivate his account. All you self righteous pricks should take time to read the last recruitment thread.

People shared their experience and they got they job. Even the P&Q shared by the DMainMan had previous interview questions from other successful candidates.

If you think it is ur excellent answers and composure in the interview that will make you get this job, then you are a joker. This recruitment has long been decided & they just want to fill in the blanks (some merit).

FYI thousands of people passed the CBT only few were fortunate to get the invite, y'all think you got invited because you're more brilliant abi? I dey laugh.

Stop attacking people for sharing their interview experience how they see fit.

Lastly, no bad energy person should quote me!

You might be correct, but don't forget it is the foundation to the impression the interviewers would have about the interviewee.

Let me tell you something :
So many people passed but ALL A graders were picked. That does not mean the A graders are more intelligent, because from this thread I deduced some have just been lucky .

The exercise is 95% on merit(as against that your "some merit"

Most importantly pray for grace guys .There is still so much beyond the oral ,if you like tell everybody your experience in clear details ,if you like don't ,it doesn't affect your chances .
The competition is very tough 1:9.5

DAMN.
For every one person chosen, 9.5 people were considered...

The information is not debatable as I didn't come up with it. I was told EXPLICITLY by the a member of the panel and the Chairman of the panel repeated it while setting the tune for my interview session. So what you and I think at this moment about the rules of the question is inconsequential as it concerns this particular interview.

And some of them have a moniker of no hatred. Nigerians, its quite pathetic

The rule is not for the other interviews you have been to. Let me say It was strictly for interview panel and those of us they interviewed. Probably you will understand it better this way

I believe your assertions, most candidates where not asked the tell me about yourself question or may we meet you etc, myself inclusive. I only tried to sell myself inbetween the interview when questions arise.

Okay........ Goodluck.

No question from my CV... Every other thing is correct

I haven't done my interview yet and I cant lie I have seen tips that would definitely help in my interview don't mean I'd get the job,but quite frankly it's not a level playground.
You might have thought you've been of help but you aren't totally different from politicans who help incompetent people into any organization. I think hes right about parasitism

CsRockefeller:


Parasitism kee u there. (na joke o)

I don't get why we shouldn't help each other, during the exam at my center, I helped 3 persons with answers from d CBT, they were all called up for the interview.

When I got outside, the people I helped started thanking me, so the 10am batch got interested and asked me how it went, I told them every question I could remember, "withholding nothing"

Maybe, its just my nature to help people, I don't care whether the person I helped gets in and I dont, I just want to go to bed each night happy and fulfilled.


Anyone leaving from jibowu tomorrow morning? Make we link up, preferably female

There may be hidden yardsticks about the interview you may not know about. The interview is really needed, but there may be background criteria not given to the public

Lol. Please leave them. The people complaining are people that have been interviewed and who knows they think by people giving others heads up, it is reducing their chances because they got no heads up.
I mentioned team work and I can see some people highlighting it. It’s obvious they don’t know what team work is.
It’s the lack of team spirit that makes you think every competition has to be destructive.
I’m still of the opinion that someone can give you your exact questions and you will still not pass.
At this stage, nobody can teach you common sense, confidence and analytical reasoning.
For crying out loud, there’s interview questions everywhere on the internet. What’s the difference between what people are saying here and the ones online.
Hope you know there’s no correct or wrong answer to an interview as such.
It is all about how you bring out your points and comport yourself.
It’s obvious why you are panicking.

Ykman:
Not much about them. There's one oversabi man among them sha. Have to be weary of his question. The rest you can coast home easily. OPEC, safety, dealing with subordinates and questions circling around your previous work.

Thanks a lot... This is very helpful, one Love!

At this point, I just want to say hahahahahahaaahahahahahaaa.
Nothing more.

For me I think giving CBT test questions after you finish writing to others who have not written is quite naive, but sharing your interview experience is a totally different ball game al together. Like Gbyms said, that some one said they asked me " tell me about yourself" or they gave me water and stuff doesnt reduce your chances in anyway. common guys life is not that deep. If you want to share, please share,if you don't want, skip the thread. I wish you all luck.
Ironically, the only competition you have is aginst your village people, because your actually up against them. Literary

Today's safety question in my own wing is centered around changing a light bulb.. The question is what r the precautions you need to take when changing a light bulb..

my advice...base of my interview today...no question from my CV.maybe cos my CV dry gan no work experience aside nysc..no need to share what they asked cos its irrelevant...nah different questions for each day...they just wanna test your ability thats all. get ready for any questions from any corner...Good luck to us. back home now...I gotta rest
