Re: IBM recruiting graduate trainees in nigeria!
Does anyone have an idea how much IBM pays for Entry/graduate level? I hope its something meaningful since their minimum requirement is an MSc!

That's d issue. No idea at all. I think this is probably the first time they are recruiting graduates in a large scale in Nigeria. Let's hope they pay well or same value as their competitors. Btw do you think there would be another assessment after d interview?

Re: IBM recruiting graduate trainees in nigeria!
@ Zapetro did mine on the 2nd of this month, as for next stage the bussiness manager said there might be another assesment

Re: IBM recruiting graduate trainees in nigeria!
I got a call from IBM last night asking me to attend a telephone interview today, plus a feedback request regarding the Global Mindset Inventory assessment. Who else is on page here? What to expect?

The feedback form was sent to everyone, however, I know someone who got the call last night as well but the person is based outside Lagos.

Very true. I'm also based in Abuja. They actually asked where I'm based in before scheduling the interview. Oluchi actually told me if there's a next time I could actually schedule a telephone interview. Are you based in Lagos?

Thanks buddy. Will surely update you guys. One more thing, please stick to your phones all the time. I guess it's an individual thing so it's gotta be one at a time. Be patient and prayerful guys. God help us.

At this point i guess all we can do is wait. My issue is I had another final interview on friday and the company said I will have a final decision by Friday so I really want to have all my options on the table incase these guys make me an offer. I wouldn't want IBM to call me after I have accepted their offer.

im confused, you guys having a telephone interview have you not done a face to face interview, because i have had a face to face but never had a telephone, I guess for those who aren't in Lago phone interview is their own first round am I right?

For those that could not make it from outside Lagos for the 1st round face to face interview, they had the option of doing it via telephone end April / beg May (when 1st round face to face interviews were conducted). However, it looks like those outside Lagos had telephone interviews again today. I reside in Lagos and was not called last night to arrange one.

Re: IBM recruiting graduate trainees in nigeria!
Please can some one help me out with this question, for those that has done both the telephone and the face to face interview,was it the same question,cos for me i have done the telephone but not done the face to face..please what does the face to face look like as per the question,please comment.

Re: IBM recruiting graduate trainees in nigeria!

What I dont understand is why so far only people that live outside Lagos have done the 2nd round telephone interview? Or are people not just talking?
Could it be they are only interested in you if you are outside Lagos.. :(

Very interesting conversation here. Well I'm also based outside Lagos. Yes it's possible they are just trying to confirm our commitments to the job if offered. Because the interviewer asked if I can move to Lag when offered a place. He told me this is the second to the last stage and that he was gonna get back to me by Friday for the final assessment. Plus it's gonna be a six months induction program in different countries. My take is those in Lag would be contacted later since there is no relocation challenge. cheers folks

Re: IBM recruiting graduate trainees in nigeria!
@ Zapatero,what was the face to face interview like,was it the same with the telephone interview, cos i have done the telephone but i have not done the face to face.the final assessment will be friday this week or next week.

Well it was sort of interactive with other candidates. Questions are thrown out and you are all required to respond. The questions were personality sort of. Non technical at all. It Lasted 1hr.

Re: IBM recruiting graduate trainees in nigeria!
So exactly what I was expecting has happened. I have been made another job offer and I am expected to start in June. I have not signed any contracts yet but I don't know how long I can hold off while witing to hear back from IBM. I wonder if I can email them and explain my situation, if it wil make a difference.
