I rarely comment on here... but I would like to plead with you all not to derail this NNPC thread with whether there is a god or not!

I know many who are going through this recruitment process -- and we rely on this thread for info -- but we do not comment. Imagine if we all comment with all type of jargons on here, then most of us will miss out on important information.

With you all lampooning those sharing important tips - and question hints, I want you all to understand something... Yes, this is a competition, but we are different. I was feeling confident myself on the day of the interview -- I was armed with tips and hints that I have picked up on here.

While waiting to be called into the interview room, I witnessed two great guys visibly shake before they went into the rooms. I saw peeps who were jovial while waiting came out with a straight face. I particularly saw a guy whose experience on his CV was outstanding -- as in, we were literally congratulating him that he was going to ace this interview -- but what happened? First, his CV was badly arranged and worded -- and he did the unthinkable, he had his CV printed on both faces of the A4 paper. We could have cursed him out while pointing it out to him, but we encouraged him instead. When he came out, he couldn't manage to smile. When he eventually flashed his teeth, it was a grin.

That was when I started to be self-conscious -- then I lost my self-balance. I started shaking. Wow!

I received greeting/sitting/appearance hints from the guy ushering us in -- and he was open enough to say many have failed on that. DO NOT SIT BEFORE BEEN OFFERED A SEAT. BUTTON YOUR SUIT WHEN YOU GO IN, UNBUTTON WHEN YOU SIT DOWN.

I did as I was told, started well -- until I got the technical question that was related to my university course of study -- I couldn't answer the first, the guy was cool enough to assist me, and when we both concluded I have no idea, he beckoned on the other panelists (they were all four) that could he ask me another question, and they replied YES. And then he asked a newer question, which I answered. But he wasn't convinced enough - as though he wanted a textbook definition of that. We want back and forth over it, and then we moved on. Then came the first situational judgment question, and the technical guy urged me to speak deeply again. Before I got the second situational question, I was urged to go deeply and all. So I did, and I was told I was spending too much time talking. The 5th and last question been on safety. He said give me 4 tips. Once I read out the 4 tips, he said I should give him one more, that I should make it 5. I lost my balance again for the second time on that day -- I couldn't say a thing till they all muttered TIME UP, and they asked if I have a question. I did ask, and they were taken aback -- like there was no answer for me, and the Chief panelist threw the question back to me, and it looked as if I had been trapped. Wow, I lost my balance again! Till I left the room!

So, getting questions tips does not do much if you will not carry yourself well. In fact, you do not even know what the interviewers are looking at.

So, let people share if they wish - it doesn't affect their chances. Federal character will be employed in choosing the successful candidates -- do not disregard the man-know-man connections that will make it happen for some persons too.

Alas, a little bit of luck & grace is needed. Let's hope for the best! I can't wait for the testimonies that would be shared on this platform when many of us are sent the APL! Good luck!

i remember say I dey plan to take some personal pictures after my interview, as I comot the room like this, my moral drop from 10 to 1 real quick on top say I went to toilet three times before I was called in, that cheif panelist no get joy at all, I just dey waka jeje like, it was my first interview though, as I waka go block d to fill my bank details, I left the premises immediately, I enter drop wey dey go my location, enter house sleep ... que sera sera noni...

Please can someone help provide information on the title/grade level of SS2 and SS1.

EH is SS5 or SS4, depending on experience. Supervisor is SS3, Superintendent is SS2/SS1, depending on experience.

Ikpa001:
Hmmm.... Nothing at all from the scope of the revealed questions entered my own interview session. Nothing from my CV.

I was asked to discuss in detail everything I knew about Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects, carbon footprints, greenhouse gases and their effect. Very skewed and off-key from expectations.

Got similar questions too on CDM

Prettycomy:


this sounds like u were interviewed by panel 39, those guys were something else.
Exactly the same questions i was asked
Its well oo

Same situation with you bro. Same panel similar questions

Sethvincent:


This sounds exactly like my own experience. Where you in panel 43?

Were you in panel 43 not where you!Take note.

I have been a silent reader. It was a wonderful
and sweet interview experience with panel 1 and I enjoyed my time with them. I was asked about 9(nine) technical questions, 1(one) safety question, 3(three) normal interview questions ( no behavioral/situational question) and one question about NNPC. We shook hands after the interview. I believe shaking of hands was a normal pattern for Panel 1(one) and not attached to performance. We should be ready for the best and worst outcome/ result of this recruitment. I will also use this medium to thank NNPC for conducting a very professional recruitment process. Wish everyone success in your future endeavour.

Management cadre nko?

theSpark:


They told me to do so and I complied. There was a question they asked about safety in the office. They then said I could stand up and take a look at the room we were in and answer. I stood up but I feel uneasy anytime I remember. Like it was a trap.

Anyway God reigns over all.

Mainly ergonomics, escape routes, working hours/rest hours and other peripheral issues.

gwighalo:


EH might be placed on SS5 or SS4 depending on your experience...but most likely SS5

Thanks gwighalo but if an EH is placed on SS5, where would a GT be placed?

Prettycomy:

I was interviewed by that panel 39 and I can tell you that those people are kill joy. From the head of the panel to others, they kept on attacking me left, right and center. After answering a situational based question, they would tell you that it's not accepted that you should give another answer and by the time they were done with me, I kept on wondering if I was in a dream.

Are marks attached to ‘do you have any questions for us’? Because I told them I had no questions but thanked them for making me to relax through out the interview.

joecrack:
Interview went well. First question was to tell them how my expertise was going to benefit the NNPC. I began shooting my shot, enumerating why as a communication expert I will bring my knowledge in the field of PR and public affairs in efficient CSR, media and community relations and to also ensure the public is well informed on the activities of the NNPC, immediately a barrage of questions ensued like dogs just left off a leash. But I was very calm and composed, I understood that part of the grading was checking out your confidence level and emotional stability, as soon as they were done, I knidly told them what I meant and said we needed to do more in making sure majority of Nigerians are aware of the activities of the NNPC through improved media relations.
I was asked a question on safety, one on the impact of oil exploration and was also asked to tell them the quickest decision I have taken in my life and how it panned out, this put me off balance for some seconds but I had to come up with something, wasn't difficult though, I'm a screenwriter so I cooked something immediately.
Lastly, I was told to ask them a question, I started by commending the whole process as very professional and organised and then asked what efforts does the NNPC take in Staff development? The Chairperson explained to me that for GT level, when you're employed, you undergo some trainings, then you're attached to a coach who'll teach and mentor you so as to ensure you feel in the gaps in task and assignments you'll be given, She also mentioned trainings and studies abroad depending on the field, but she emphasized that enormous work and task is involved though.

They thanked me and then said I'll here from them if I am successful.

I went downstairs and wrote my name and account number.

Should be heading back to my daily hustle and pray for the best.

Please who interviewed with panel 14. This sounds like panel 14 tho.

Greatken007:
NNPC staffs generally are friendly set of being...I believe poverty have a stake why people are aggressive.
SS 3, SS 2 are supervisory level , SS 1 is supretendent.
Next time you must learn to prepare questions from home for the panelists, it is best to ask questions that tend to pose as a challenge such as Transportation of their products or Safety concerns. NNPC doesn't joke with Safety. They can pay darely for it (legal reasons)
I remembered advising some here that dressing was 10 marks and so putting on suit is the surest way to earn that ,in fact i once said go and lend . I can assure you merits is a must and a major target (Pressure from political Office holder can change this narrative most times but i repeat merit is a must). Recommendations is also part of the process and so don't argue.

Another committee will form the next stage .

Please did ‘do you have any questions for us’ carry any marks? Cos I said no but thanked the panelists.

no marks attached. Panel 12 chairman asked if I have any question for them, and then added that the interview is over.

There are different set of persons that handles each stage, representative from different subsidiaries. Once the interview stage is over another panel will be constituted for the next stage. The first committee was for the modalities of the CBT , most of the panelists are senior men and women of the corporation from different subsidiaries, NNPC is ready and prepared to get it right this time around. Thank God the new GMD is also a man of high standard.

pflourish:

Kindly clarify what you mean exactly by stating another commitee will form the next stage

This is sounding like my panel, they asked me to unbutton after I sat down and I did... . The HSE question was precautions I will take in the office.. That one I could only mention half of what was required.

Optimisticmatt:

Thanks so much

Hmmm. It's well! Were you on suit with a tie? Cos I was told by a friendly Staff on my way out, that they grade the dressing according to your outfit.
