Well, I met all requirements and I wasn't shortlisted

Bnladan:
I think almost everybody's name is on d list provided Dat person has a 2:1 and meets other requirements. Luk @ d number of shortlisted in some centres like Abuja, it makes u think hw can dey conduct d test with dis large number. Gud luck 2 u guyz.

Sorry bro.

I guess I was lucky cos I had lotta 'easy' questions. *that's a strategy I forgot to add. pray for Goodluck - the 2010 GEJ type*

So I was lucky to get a compound interest question: rate of 10% for 5 years.
Estimated my answer, Selected something and moved on.

I know you are smart and you know strategies. Not denying that.
But dont say people CANT solve 50% of the quant cos you weren't able to.

Like I said earlier. It is not about solving. It is about choosing the correct option.

BTW how can you say the analytical/logical reasoning example I cited is in 'GMAT'? what kinda GMAT is that?

PS.: the sample questions used in my earlier post doesn't necessarily mean those were the questions I got.

See you at the top bro.

famosh:

Mr man, all these strategy you mentioned, I know them; I'm that smart (not being proud) & I used them & even more. But I'm still telling you that you can't solve 50% of the maths questions including with the so called strategy you think we don't know about except you're lucky with easier questions , and by easier questions, I mean the ones which are more difficult than the pie chart question you talked about. What do you do when you are unlucky (like me) to be given a lot of questions with options close enough to defy the strategy you think should almost always work? Or what do you do when you're freaking given a lot of questions with very long word problems? How do you do you manoeuvre that? Or how do you manoeuvre compound interest questions that you already tried to solve to the point where you arrive at decimals raise to power another decimal and the options aren't helping matters by being too close to manoeuvre?
For the analytical questions you talked about, they were the easiest & quickest to solve; everything dey GMAT.

A = 1; B= 2; C = 3; .... K = 11; M = 13; N = 14; P = 16; .... Z = 26

So solving our eg.:

MN5, KP4, ___

(13,14,5); (11,16,4); (....)

The first character reduces by 2
The 2nd increases by 2
The last number reduces by 1

So...

(13,14,5); (11,16,4); (9,18,3)

9 = I; 18 = R

Therefore: the next in sequence would be *IR3*

hello bro. kindly explain further on this. this thing gimme headache

You don blast am shey

Keep calm and wait your success mail. Result was ready the moment you clicked submit.

Iseoluwani:
When will the results be out

Lwkmd.

Yeye no go kill nairaland peeps.

Structuralman:


Bro! You are a Genius!!! Rounding up the quadrant and choosing an educated answer for the pie chart is a brilliant idea. I didnt even think of it. I hereby award you full scholarship to Imperial college in the UK!!

Oya spik007 come and respond o.

dolafunmi:
Why didn't you call back on the number they called you with if really you missed their call?

Fallacy of HASTY GENERALIZATION

famosh:
The test hard die, abeg. You can't COMFORTABLY solve 50% of the maths under the given time, except you're extremely lucky with easier questions.
The English na another story. Everything wey them ask man na passage o, which you can't even boast of clearing.
I just weak, but God dey in control. I wish everyone the best.

Free Advice: You dont always have to SOLVE anything. Just choose the correct option.
How you do it no one cares. Just dont giraffe sha
Nobody needs or care about your solutions.

Learn how to Eliminate Options. studying option format also helps. Eg.: while 'solving' you arrive at something like 457÷23. Before you enter #longDivisionMode, pause and look at how the options are presented. Are they in fraction? One decimal place? Or even the nearest whole number?

Back to the case of 447÷23, I know my answer would start with 1. If only one option has 1 at the beginning, that is my answer and case closed.

For those who complained about big number. Pls learn to ESTIMATE. Why? Cos it it save lives.

Someone mentioned in an earlier post that they gave a pie chart and asked them to compute the value of sector with 28.4°.

Let's assume the total of that pie chart is 150.
28.4° is approximately 30°
Hence we have (30°/360°) × 150 = 12.5
Cos I roundUp, i know my answer must be less than 12.5

Someone may ask what if the options are close? Well I would still be able to select an educated approximate and move on. #noTime.
Truth is they would never be close except calculators were allowed.

For the verbal.
Some people (category1) read once and they understand and remember everything while Others (category2) dont.
So before you take such test.
Pls practice and determine what strategy works for you.

For category1: simply read the passage as fast as you can and answer the questions that follow. Refer back to the passage if needed

For category2: the slow readers or the wanderers *those whose mind wander while reading (eg. Me)
Read the questions (& options).
Go back to passage and skim through it.
Select answer and move on.
Skip when the questions has taken more than 30s.
Finish early and cross-check
Answer those questions you skipped.

For those not in category1&2: define you strategy and become proficient at using it

With practice you become efficient in choosing the correct option.

For the analytical/logical:
When given a series of letters eg

MN5, KP4, ___

reason those letters in numbers (using their position in the alphabets) and thank me later

For general knowledge:
Make an habit of watching 9/10 o'clock news on local TV (NTA Network news or AIT, Channels News @10, Sunrise Daily, TVCNews @ 10, Channels Business News, NTA documentary like programmes, etc) everyday from you pry/sec school
You could add Aljezeera, CNBC, NatGeo and the likes too.
Listen to femi and the gang. TopSports, SportRadio. Koko Inu Iwe Iroyin. BBC Hausa. Etc

Just make sure you also install a filter in your ears else some on 'these people' would just brain wash you.

With that you can never be found wanting.

Note: it is never to late to catchUp. Make Google and Wiki your friends.

Sure its reality but not always the case.

On the regret mail thingy.

I once interviewed with a top3 MC firm. They promised personalised feedback after the interview. Most peeps got called or mailed within a week (either good or bad). Some of us didn't.
After 2 weeks of waiting, I called them. They apologized, gave some excuses (my lines didn't go through. *what in the world happened to my email?*) and promised to get back ASAP.
I waited another 2/3 weeks. Then I got this 'personalised' feedback from someone that wasn't even on my panel .

Summary "even though... we didnt... hence we regret... we wish you well in..."

The point is these things (feedback issue) happen *for whatever reason* not perculiar to HCP or 9ja alone

mayoor15:
its not a mentality, its the reality. Maybe you are even part of their HR, who knows....Tell me how many companys you know when doing recruitment send regret mails to candidates after AC. If all things were equal, they should have sent the regret mails before starting AC

Seen

Thanks for the prayers.

#Hope93

mayoor15:
@VMPi744, great work you did there, when you start work over there, remember to share this beautiful analysis with the HR guys, so as to help them the next time. You are lot better than some peeps that feels they are super intelligent and cant see any flaw in the process.We'll surely meet at the top boss

You reply isn't visible

[quote author=mayoor15 post=50669872][/quote]

So I was part of the August 20th batch aka 1st batch.

I share your sentiments on the feedback matter and feel it should be done after each stage of the recruitment for any firm. In the past, I would call the recruitment team to 'demand' for my feedback. Yes, DEMAND cos I felt they owed me that at worse if not the offer letter . These days, I seem to have embraced the "if they want me they would get back to me" approach aka "move on with my life".
My 2cents to you is to stick with either of these whichever sooths your innermind.

Different firms, different recruitment policy/culture. Some send you general regret mail, some send personalised feedback (aka polite regret) while others feel they are under no obligation to get back to you (sounds harsh? Well na so life be ).
Note: some peeps state in their job ad that ONLY SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES would be contacted. Which I think would apply all through the recruitment.

Moving on, I would like to set some things straight, reply or add to the points you've raised.

1. Number of INVITED test takers in BATCH 1 was 600+, <700 sha (from the last S/N in the range of serials at the reg point that day). Even if we assume 100% attendance rate (which wasn't the case), 800 is still on the high side. *I know this aint relevant but I couldn't help it. *

2. So they CHEATED us? How? Cos I didn't even realize it . To the best of my knowledge, nobody forced us to answer those essay questions neither were we 'deceived' to write them. CHEATED in my opinion is way overboard faa. We CHOSE to give them these points.

3. They got 3000+ points on how to be Africa's No. 1 IB for free? Just like that? won ti gba wa o... #OshoFreeConsulting
Well this your 3000 free points theory is implausible cos it is based on very faulty assumptions which are: that we all answered that particular question (when in actual fact we were at liberty to choose any 2 outta the 3 short essays) and we all gave unique points.
Personally, I dont feel anyone would be able to write something 'gheghen' within 30mins. Talk less of providing 3000 combined.

The essay questions:
a. Peculiarities of banking in the Nigerian Economy.
b. Role of Merchant Banking in the Financial Services Sector. + How CMB can achieve it's vision
c. Why should be you be selected for this programme? What would be my contribution to CMB?


4. You questioned why they conducted a 2nd and a 3rd test when they know their focus was the 1st.

My Opinion: I think they didnt get enough 'AC potentials' from the 1st. Hence, the need for a 2nd and also a 3rd test. Or probably they wanted to give all those shortlisted a chance to prove themselves.
60 peeps were shortlisted for AC. 56-58 attended. I interacted with about 10 peeps that day and 40% of them were not from Batch 1. My sample could be biased (awon ti stats) but the point is we had a mix of people from different test dates.

5. You also raised "you invited 50 people at once, haba, even if na 10 per group, how many people dem get wey go supervise the exercise"

Response: From my estimate, the ratio of participants to hcp+cmb staffs present that day would fall between 1:1 to 1:2 if not LESS sef.
I was too busy that day. Else I would have given you the exacts. I have an OCD for counting + the ID no. of all assessors were on the programme of events.
Point is they got us 'covered'

6. And this: "Or why was regret mails sent after the assessment centre? Probably because, people had started to call, text them asking for their results. What will they send people that went for the assessment centre? Are you going to send them success mails and invite for assessment centre or what? It means the assessment centre itself must have been a hoax."

Response: Some recruiters don't send regret mail until the process is over. Why? Well probably cos they believe in the saying: "it aint over until the fatLady sings".
Let say those that came for the AC didn't 'perform' who knows another AC could have been organised for the top guys on the 'waiting list'.
I dont know what next after AC and I aint aware they have buzzed anyone. They might have done that sha. Which would mean I may have also been raped as you put it. In that case, I would simply move on.


7. Finally this: "I challenge both CMB and HCP to come clean with this recruitment exercise and probably next time, ensure that the computer is automated to bring out people’s result immediately after the exercise so as to forestall such rape of youthful brains."

Response: lol. True sha
Funny enough, I gave them a similar feedback at AC. We had an essay, 2 verbal tests, one numeric (this particular one got people flipping pages like kilode') and a personality questionnaire at the AC and all these were done on PAPER.
Using PCs for this would make things faster for us and also allow them grade faster and efficiently.

In sum, no one is perfect. We learn from these flaws. I believe all parties involved would up their game next time.
+ Just like my friend would say: 'In the end We would all get there'

See you at the top mayoor15

mayoor15:
God bless u. Those they invited 4d 1st batch in August were 800 or there about, and most that went for AC were from this batch, then batch 2&3 just wasted time kind of, if u do a test and u fail, deep within u, u'l knw u did badly, d test wasnt adaptive whereby a wrong answer drags ur score down..a guy was saying, ppl shuld goan and study gmat,datz true,but der must b symtin 2 learn frm ur past failure, bt in dis case, majority of d ppl dt went 4d test, wil av nthn 2 learn.,cos der is no lesson except ds is NIGERIA. Maybe d pass mark was 100% sha...lol

Hi Ferdyboss

For those who got invited for the interview. What can we expect?

Ferdyboss:


Hi ya, please next time try to open a thread when you see such vacancies so that others can also have the opportunity to apply.

Eunisell test is actually Math, English and Essay writing. The Essay topics are usually on recent happenings in Nigeria or around the world.
If you scale through, you would get an interview invite.


Wish you success.

Just one simple question bro.

Did your graduation hold the same day your final results were released?

aflame100:
Am I the only one seeing November 2015 on his result?
How can he graduate November 2015 and by May 2016 he's already through with NYSC. It automatically means he started serving before graduating.....

He graduate in 2014, but his certificate was out in November, 2015. If you have a certificate do check and see it was not the year you graduate that your certificate was out.

You are the one who needs to be checked.

If your NYSC discharge certificate reads April 2016, YOU ARE WRONG!

Service Year for 15A was from 05.05.16 - 04.05.16

wandeykul:
Don't mind him,our pop for 2016 batch A was April 14th 2016,he needs to be checked.

POP is usually 3 weeks to end of service

aka TERMINAL LEAVE

wandeykul:
POP for 2016 was April 14th 2016,how come may Nawa o

Egbon your software is outdated

irepat1:
What I can see is a fake graduate with fake credentials

NYSC certificate doesn't carry passport same as uni. certificate
