KaceeDcontrol: I wrote the test without writing the practice questions, hope its not an issue?

not at all

@makoo they are Entitled to your opinion i pray we all get to our destination.
But you got me laughing at "panel looking at you like you did something wrong"

@vivi have been to just 3 interviews you could contribute alot also.
Those questions you been asked and you felt hmhm this interviewer is wicked share let discuss.
And if there is any experienced HR personnel in house you could also give us some point on mistakes you have seen job seekers (more attention on fresh graduate) make in interviews.

^^^Statistics
Got the skills aspect
I feel if I say all this my answer will be lengthy.
Learnt a lot

Chinyerefrancis:
now u listen @Tmany, 4 d fact dat u r used 2 CBT from ur uni day dozn't make u beta dan any1. 4 some pple here its dia 1st tym so its normal 2 b nervous. Guy just chill o. BTW if u were so great @ it I wonda y u r still writing online tests. U shld v bin d 1 setting dem. Mtcheew.

I never said I was great at it or better at it.
A lot of people read comments here and when every comment is fear related I believe it will have psychological effect on some people confidence. I will shut the F up
Peace
@vivi seems really passed my message wrongly

Monsieur Pete:
I tink dats mor lyk wat differentiates u frm other candidates..

Communication skills, prolly som crazy IT knw-hw, analytical skills, attention to details, ability to identify key prblms and prospects in business, ability to prioritize, ability to motivate,...

If am nt mistaken dat iz..

I covered most of this when listing my strengths including been a team player.
I failed to mention my leader qualities and what motivates me.
Thruthfully I never really been a scholar so how will educational achievement work.
I seriously don't believe in just having professional certificate (if am to mention a professional certificate, I think the certificate I mention ought to be related to the vacancy In question) it's all about packing

Monsieur Pete: I luv dis **adjusting my spectacles**

Havn't really attended a formal interview so am sooo subscribing 2 dis..lemme get ma notepad

**pulls chairs, sits n crosses legs**

Bro that the reason for this thread so you get to put your best foot forward when given the chance

davide470:
That's the same thing I would have said if I was in her shoes.

What are your skills?
What motivates you? Are you a team player?
Professional membership and achievements?
Leadership qualities.. Both Univ. and NYSC days

Give them these and I tell you, the next question would come with a smile.

Bro can you elaborate about the skills part.

okay let's start with the most common question introduce yourself?
I went to an interview recently and one of the interviewer (it was a panel interview) was not pleased with the way I introduced myself.
My name is...... Am 2* years old I was born and raised in lagos, am a graduate of university of..... Where I studied statistics, my strengths are.......... And I will love to be part this organisation. (I just finished my nysc Oct so no job experience and the interview was for a graduate training placement)

Where did I mess up cause the next thing the woman said is "no interesting things about yourself''

It's no news that the labour market is a cut throat world for the job seekers.
My main reason of creating this thread is for us to help each other out.
An average recruitment process include a test and interviews (in some case a from of assessment is done case study, behaviour study).
My first interview was not really cool cause I was asked some questions which I later got to know my answers were naive.
Test is a personal thing you can get materials to study online.
But interview I believe is a no man's land
What questions have you been asked in an interview and what was your response.

^^^ its well sis

@sleekch1c abeg pack well jor
madam i don't fear failure i only learn from it and am already used to CBT from my uni days.
Been nervous to the extent some peeps are describing here will not stop the time from running down(its even counter productive) and wtf are you really nervous abt.
When you get to the interview stage or final interview and you say you are nervous that i can understand.

All this nerves and panic talk on just a CBT test abeg when be the deadline?

Ada Nri1: What happiness are you talking about? He married her because of his children! I've been telling my sons early, so that they won't say they had no idea.
1. Don't date a non Nigerian
2. Don't date any one older than you.
3. She must be a practicing catholic.
Needless to say, same thing applies to my daughters. In fact I even added that he must be Igbo. There are a lot of decent Igbo young men, if they are calm and focused when the time comes they'll get married to them. Simples!

its not a matter of insult but you are narrow minded.
Your conditions includes your children spouse has to be from the same church even been a christian is not enough for you.
Sorry to say i pity your son cause at the end you are the one that will pick a wife for him.
Do you know the most funny part you should have just said they most pick from your village
madam you have your reasons for your conditions but you are not to give your children such conditions but just to advise them (abi when they have issues in their marriage you the one that will resolve it)

Monsieur Pete:
Ok na albino

you never see medical doctor for bank interview you dey complain

Ada Nri1: Yes u should, I'm a mother and I wouldn't want my son to do such

can you give me some reasons you will stand in the way of son happiness if that is decision

Monsieur Pete: Buh seriosly its nt fair..hw com ENGINEERS apply evrywhere including typical "un-Engineering" areas and short the ration of doz dat actually graduated in that line buh u cnt apply for most technical jobs if u'r nt @least science inclined

Any way na way...Naija factor

lol and given most test are numerical base i think they mostly perform well. Guy forget fair o

MarvellousGod: Completed my test oo..I was so nervous that I didn't even understand the questions talk more of what to answer. .don't know y ....I got pressed,my hands were shaking, it wasn't easy ...I have learned my lesson, this is my first apt test, it will not happen again. God, you're my last resort

For those yet to write, try and be calm as much as you can, the questions aint so hard by mere looking, just that I was so scared..be confident please

bro you got work on nerves o seriously.
I see no reason you should be that nervous even first time or not.
If you this nervous abt a CBT i can only imagine how you will perform in an interview.
Just an advise

chykfy: Pls oo am new in lag how do I get to d venue frm cele bustop

i don't know how to get to test location but from cele cross over using the bridge take a bus going to osodi when you alight at osodi cross over ask for where you can get ikeja along BUs. I think the description to get to the test venue from ikeja along is on previous page on this thread

crisycent: My GF is older than me by 2years. The day i found out i felt bad. Ever since then, when i am doing kerewawa with her, i feel odd that i am sleeping with someone older than me. The psychological effect is horrible, i wasn't turned on by her for many months. I have a 23year old babe on reserve though.

bro its all about choice have not had the opportunity to date a lady younger than Me and i don't feel this your psychological effect o.

currently free hoping to get younger lady though but the age difference has always been less than 2 year

Ada Nri1: Lola bet me, if his mother were alive it would have to be impossible.

I'm sure most of his family members objected. I'm not surprised he married you after his mother passed away. Na him sabi sha. He who brings ant infested firewood into his compound should not cry at the visit of lizards.

chai madam i feel your pain sorry you hear

Erza:

huh

i mean practise question is not 1 or 2 question its a replica of the real thing the verbal practise question i tried was 30question the 1 or 2 question is just a sample test before you do the real thing

kayjegs: @Ezra....the practice questions before the exam is like 1 or 2 questions. It isnt enough to prepare. If you login and ready to write the test then the practice questions come first. But its good you practice so many questions before attempting to login to write the test.

oga there a complete set of practise question there before the this one you talking about

i think there is hint Of truth behind this etisalat and mtn petition against airtel allowing customers to use bb data plan on other devices.
Have been using this package for more than 3 years even recently got a call from their customer care trying to evaluate their service and the guy knew i was using a bb data plan on an android device and i was not disconnected.
If this petition is the real reason behind the decision airtell will surly slash the rate of their normal data plan to keep their customers

this just pure rubbish.
What even there, you given bb user 1gig for 1k and you want other device users to pay the same 1k for 100mb .
Is it like bb is paying them or what cause this is senseless to me

BB sales and subscription is decreasing while Android device sales is increasing at an unforseen rate.
Why is non of networks taking advantage of this.
The lowest data plan offer for mobile device goes at a rate of #1000 for 100Mb which i classify as a rip off.

Just got this very sad
message form airtell

Dear Customer, effective 3rd Dec 2013 AIRTEL BB Plans will cease to function on non BB devices or used as a modem . Thank you
