Let's be patient and see wat next with GE,..just hope we r comin to de end of de road.
Why i guess it culd b on saturday is bcos wen u check d gap of their response afta d deadline of the 1st questionaire to d 2nd one its 10days gap,so let no one blame me or any1 who is forecasting or predicting within their own I.Q. Lets hop in God dat He wil perfect d gud work He started... Its only God dat know those dat wil mak it
to d end,just grab Him. He wil do it. I wish u al gudluck in Jesus name.
9ice 1 guys. but i advice we let dis thread die till someone hears from GE again cos it really give me hypertension to see this thread at the top all d tym without a mail in my box from dem. i hope y'all get the cruz!
Hello! Dis email i got was ur application submission is on progress
ok i hope this will calm nerves, from research on GE s recruitment theres nothing like an aptitude test, so the next step will either be a phone interview or personal interview, it will be highly unlikely but worst case is an online test, as i said thats not ge s style.
Oh dats a gud guess by biger boy. All fingers crossed til saturday wether fone or facial interview.God tak control. Gudluck evry1Quote:

pls why not allow this thread to die till another info about this GE stuff comes up b4 we start giving ourself high BP for the sake of GE. By his grace we will all get something good to do.
The important issue here is, has GE done another communication? Has anyone received any update? It is pointless for people to speculate the next time GE might actually communicate.Quote:

Just wanted to touch on whats been said. I'm not applying for GE but my brother is (Got both stages of questions). I've been watching this thread for a while, since he started the process.
I know people who work at GE and its an American company, so things are done differently. The very top management are mostly Americans or Nigerians with extensive GE experience. No written test, the next step will be an interview, be it phone or in person and shortly after that they decide. This means a lot will most likely take place in the next 3 wks.
GE is a great company, not just to grow in, but to have on your CV. Their African division is mostly Energy related and while they've been on the African continent for a while, they are really trying to take advantage of the emerging markets, which we can see from some other American companies, such as Caterpillar and co. So expect to see a lot of jobs coming from them in upcoming months. Its not only engineers that they hire, but a wide range of business positions are available esp in sales/marketing, finance etc.
From what I hear, they are hoping to get the training program sorted out before the month ends, but who knows. Its open to everyone, not just Nigerians, but anyone really from around the world, who is eligible to work in the African country, since training wont just be in Lagos office but others such as Nairobi-Kenya, Luanda-Angola, Accra-Ghana, Jo'burg-South Africa etc.
Also knowing about their other training programs, once one gets the GE training, its like a shoe in, cause when you get done, now can apply for other positions within GE, that you qualify for that is. Now the pay I hear is ok but not jaw dropping, but sometimes in the early stages of career, its best to sacrifice salary for experience. Your experience is with you for your whole life, but your salary is just for today. I'd much rather take a pay cut and work in a position that will allow me great networking and a chance to build, than to run to be a manager in a place that keeps me stagnant at that higher salary for years.
I pray my brother gets it, and wish everyone the best.
@drkoy u hav spoken well,and extensively,we appreciate it,2b honest i don't tink any1 should still b askin questions after reading ur post. I wish all d applicants including ur broda d best...
Thanks, man. U gave me hope. Let's wait and see.Quote:

That is very enlightening ...DrKoy
@ OJOCHIDEM. great piece.
If I may ask, if u were in the diaspora and u had a mid-level offer that requires ur expertize, in a location like Germany, would u abandon it for the GE graduate program as a naija man. pls give me pros and cons if u do have any
thanks
Honestly, I won't o. For d fact dat am already working abroad and in a country like Germany, I will rather carry on with my Job and garner more experience then seek for beta jobs there.Quote:

All I hear is benefits, allowance, bonus etc. But here middle income earners pay from 35 to 42% tax which brings down ur monthly earning. Is it true thatQuote:

Ubuntu, such salary details may not be made public for many reasons.
Strong points hav bin made 2 encourage u 2 stick wit ur job in d diaspora until further notice. However, u must consider oda reasons dat may make u wanna leave ur ''present'' yankee job for a ''hopeful'' naija job.
How much are u paid in d equivalent? How much do u pay for tax? Accomodation? Health? Etc... Many of these foreign countries tend to KILL young naija hopefuls with binomial series of ''tax'' and discriminatory laws.
A good number of them are racists and they show it in many possible ways...without any caution whatsoever from their govt!
So, think about it. Would u choose to be a comparatively poorly-paid or well-paid ''outcast'' in a country with fully functional basic amenities (power, H20, etc) or would u rather be a respected freeman in ur slowly developing homeland?
who eva told u dat oil workers in naija dnt pay tax is lying. Oil workers are the most highly taxed workers in Naija,paying a tax of between 17 to 26%,which if u ask me is very much,but dat still leaves u wit a much fatter salary than other professionsQuote:

@ Dompet, could you the correspondence from GE so that the house would know. i would say personally if u are the only one who have got it, tell me what email service u are using, eg yahoo, then I would tell u what do and the script for me to see if it came from GE or it is a scam.
