samalli592:
Yo! was anyone asked to name 5 regulatory bodies of NNPC operations during the interview?

Pfffff....Panel 6

U should have applied for a "Regulatory Position". Hopefully EH Regulatory Standards Monitoring or Euipment Standards Monitoring?
There are so many regulations/regulators that governs nnpc operations/projects:
DPR, Environment, NEITI, NOGICD Act, FIRS among others

Ukodo1123:
Those northerner on native
What will b their score on dressing

That native with cap & well polished shoes is same as ur fancy suit

Even Banks accept it, So if them dress full native, them don get full scores be that

Ukodo1123:
I can say u belong to panel 33

D lady that ask u was on hijab

you Sabi...

The woman's question was unclear when she asked me
"How do you handle two tasks of equal importance?"
I answered by saying I'll start with the one I have resources to handle and in so doing get experience to handle to other one.

The chairman rephrased her question

"How do you handle two tasks given to you to handle SIMULTANEOUSLY?"
and I answered properly by explaining the importance of "teamwork and delegation". Which was adjudged right especially "teamwork".

I hope it all goes good. It was a learning experience for me anyway. Very nice set of people. They even asked why I spelt my name the way I did.

Ukodo1123:
You don ask yourself why first-class graduate fail d CBT

This will make you to understand d term God factor

At least for those that did 9am, they will tell you those history/current affairs were tough. To some people, that CBT came to them unprepared.

Jarus:


Was that the panel that asked difference between NOC and IOC, clauses in a gas sales agreement etc? For guys that did on 5th though.

I want to believe that question was one of the pool of questions for the 5th batch... Mine was to define each and give examples as well. Never took notice of my panel number...

larride:


If eventually I get back to the tower, I will look for that man and give him a thank you gift. He was like my guardian angel. Even when it wasn’t his question I was answering, he just kept saying that’s good, that’s very good.

If truly each question is 25 marks, with the 3 score I saw from the panel chairman scoresheet, I did excellently well.


I’ve done my best, NNPC and God to come through for me.

I will share a zobo with u at the tower.... Bills on me

Panel 39 right??
quote author=chidiebereuzoma post=80654513]
Please what can you guys deduce from a scenario like this.
I was asked a behavioral/ situational question
"a personal goal I had and how I achieved it."
My first answer was about my drive to develop my ICT skills outside the normal curricular in my course. So I had to go for certification in advanced Computer networking
The chief panelist didn't accept this answer on the basis that it is a requirement for my field.
I regrouped sharply and said something about something I did to Impact in the community where I did my PPA during Nysc, but they rejected this again, insisting it must be something I did for myself and obviously not related to my course.
Finally I told them a story about how I went about buying my first laptop computer and they were interested in how I made the money.
This the panel chief accepted and we proccedded.
Meanwhile I wasn't coming up with these answers in split seconds as I have to travel down Memory Lane and also do some fine tuning in my mind.

Another thing was on a similar question on " a situation where I have to take a quick decision "
This one actually took me a lot of time up to the extent that the chief asked them to skip the question and they asked me something on safety which I answered comfortably. The chief also returned back to the question insisting that I "must " answer it. I then came up with something that happened between me and my project supervisor during my project days in school. The panel chief made this remark
" you got it, "but" why did it took so long for you to say it "
My fear anytime I recall the experience is if the delays will have effect on my score hand how much of an effect it will have on it.

Meanwhile I didn't have any problem with my field related questions.

This is also for posterity... That's why I took the time to type all these.

Panel 19?

Probably panel 6.

yungmin:
Guys! don't allow the fact that you were bombarded with plenty questions deceive you were identified as a good candidate based on CBT score. These guys are humans and their attitude and mood changes. In my current job, when I got to the stage of interview with executive management, I didn't spend up to 10min before the interview ended. However, I eventually got the job. But guess what? after joining the company, nobody could believe my interview with the CEO was that brief and simple. A lot of my new colleague shared different interview experience with the CEO and how dramatic and a bully he can be.

Fast forward to my NNPC interview; my panel was one of the panels even the HR were complaining that it was taking too long. It was the one of the panels for Engineers, but guess what, my interview was as brief as it could get.

Summary:
* I entered and greeted the panel and they responded with friendly smile.
* Panel chairman apologized for keeping us late into the night that it is not normal for an interviewee who is already tensed to be kept waiting for that long. However, as he was apologizing, I in turn cut in and also show appreciation for their hardwork for having to stay that late to conduct the interview. We all got relaxed
* Then they all introduced themselves of which I responded: Nice to meet you sir! after each intro. It was a panel of 6 persons (5 interviewers + the secretary). The panel chairman na Northerner.
* next question, in 5min, please introduce yourself. He was very strict in the timing as once he realized I was adding superfluous items to my introduction, he quickly cuts in and reminded me of my time.
* Then comes a question from my field: assuming I was involved in a project but later realized that a particular column in the building after construction was failing or cracking. What would I do? I gave my answer without hesitation and he nodded and said he was glad I could remedy the situation.
* Next question from him was that I should give a run down on how I would go about executing a project of for example, the NNPC towers from start. I gave my response and I received positive vibes back from them.
* Then the other panelist asked me to name the hazards I could find in a typical construction site and give control measures. Luckily, I have had construction experience in the execution of a gas plant project as my first job. I knew quite a lot about HSE which I delivered.
* Then comes the situational question from one of the panelist that as a supervisor in a team; what would I do to move staff from a position of non-performance to better performance. Luckily as well, I had taken some courses on organizational behaviour. I was able to give some academic response as well.
* Eventually, panel chairman thanked me and said I could ask a question. I asked a question on what was the difference between NETCO and one of the operating units in NNPC which seemed to have overlapping functions. They explained extensively and we had some good conversation.
* Panel chairman gave a closing remark and said you would hear from us.

This is for posterity.....o. I believe I performed well but I am honestly and sincerely praying for God's grace

Panel 19 I guess.

Ukodo1123:
You don ask yourself why first-class graduate fail d CBT

This will make you to understand d term God factor

God factor my broda i was asked about how i once priortised like four different problems at a time and solved them the way i related that question to our cbt exams and explained that the exams was into different sections maths english current affairs and they are of equal priorities so i priortised the sections that will take lesser time first i.e current affairs english and shapes before going back to the mathematics that require more time so i was able to answer atleast 55 questions correctly instead of starting with the mathematics that will take more time and i might end up not finishing before my time elapses...the woman was soo impressed but me sef i dont even know how i did it on a normal day i wont have been able to answer that question no matter how smart u are u really need God
And i was one of those notherners that rocked native too oo

chidiebereuzoma:


I don't think there are Christians amongst fulanis. Are there any?

There are several with pastors and an association too. They are not a big percentage of the ethnic group tho.

I'm digressing now. Back to NNPC stuff

not to burst your bubble, although you answered well, the question was asking you to attend to the urgent task first. But u came through though

Edicoco:
Same goes for me..

Was it mentioned or was there a tag at the door to the interview room?

Wo, APL ni koko jare

P. 10 was really friendly and professional.

The first question was from my CV: do you want to stand with your claim of being proficient in SAP? I waited for some seconds as I was not expecting questions on my ERP proficiency. I said yes, and was asked to describe how it worked, which I did.
There was a situational question on audit process. Another one was on what I would do as an NNPC employee who had been tasked to lead an audit of a subsidiary. Also, a situational question on what I would do to a difficult subordinate.
The question on HSE was a tricky one: what would you do if you are assigned an office with many tables and chairs to the extent that you can hardly move about?
The last question from the Chief Panelist was on renewable energy (definition/description and 2 advantages).

GOD helped me to do my best and I trust HIM to perfect my appointment letter. Thank you Father in Jesus Name.

[quote author=Ukodo1123 post=80654442]Clean Development mechanism

Nah Bro. 'Em guys didn't even know the role I applied for. One almost asked me the wrong question until another woman interfered and I then told 'em the role I applied for.

Thanks for the feedback. We hope it all turns out good.
