Topic: Invitation for selection tests- TOTAL Scholarship

yeah, i thank God for the test, though i must confess, i was down before the test and worst after the test. Of course, didnt finish the test cos of time. Total guys didnt inform us about warning time, like telling us a minute to go, so that we can quickly round-off, though that made it an aptitude test sha. Total also did well with the allowance given to us. I was given 14500 cos i used my Abuja address. It was also nice meeting some of u guys at the Total office, like Navy.... identifying u wasnt difficult and chatting with u after d exam and telling me about ur exxonmobil interviews. I sincerely wish u the best. May God's will be done in our lives.

Recieved a mail from Total and I am glad to inform you all that I failed to meet the cut off. So sad, however Thank God, and Thank you all.

i have seen a mail from them too but am too scared to open the mail. tel you the outcome when i finally make up my mine to open it. congrats to all

Wow, i actually messed up in the exam and also felt that i wasnt going to pass when i remembered that i was competing with the best engineering and geoscience graduates from Nigerian universities, but God surprised me again, I was informed that i passed.

The house should continue to keep it real whether u pass or not, cos only to be invited alone shows that u r made of stuff. never give up but continue to believe that God has more in stock for u.
Take care, safe.

I suspected something like this was going to happen as they began to raise the issue of age with me in the test venue. For the first time I was told u will have to be below or 25 years to be eligible for the scholarship. I was not the one that invited myself. They went through my profile on their site before inviting me. From the above email it is obvious I passed the test but had a problem with my profile, especially the age issue. I did not and will never falsify my age. I sincerely believe that Total owes me some apology or better still should be able to make another offer to me.

Please House, whats ur opinion on this matter.

@toksdaniel, I agree with u. if thats wat they emailed u, then i think u passed d exam but d age stuff prevented them from considering u further for their scholarship. But i think they will include you in any of their interviews for normal recruitment, cos u hv already passed their exam. Just email them and voice ur concern to them but at the same time be formal and gentle in your approach. But the major stuff is to continue to believe that God has His best plan for your life.

To those who were successful in the recently concluded test, congratulations.........You have successfully navigated the first and basic step..........I really don't know how to advise you for the interview except to be prepared as you will not only be interviewed by Total HR, but also by a representative from IFP School.........prepare (and pray) not only for the interview but also for getting admission into IFP School........bonne chance à tous.....

Does anybody in the house have any info about the TOTAL scholarship interview date?
