Anyone whose interview is b4 1st should also relate the questions here ;)

@CanDo All the best in the interview!!
Thanks bro..am sure yours is coming soon. cheers
So has anyone else got the invite ... where are our fellow compatriots on this issue?? Eeyore and co.
Interesting. So the long wait could be over. I'm yet to hear from them, though.
Wishing u d best pple bcos I never saw d elephant house at ikeja b4 until last wk saturday I pass d road waoh look at d structure I love d place and d environment just wishn I cld work dia no wonder Can do wz excited
guys,i would like to know if any body applied 4 senior lab technician.
ok guyz. I am back from the interview!
How did it go?...well, have you ever had the experience of preparing for a really 'tough' exam only to get to the hall and see fundamental easy questions that make u wonder why u spent all those hrs jacking?..well thats exactly what it was like...:)
Well basically i got into the office and the white guy introduced himself as Chris. his first question..'Introduce urself, and talk me through ur CV'.
I spend some minutes telling him about my engineering background and my degree in general (skip secondary school please). then i went ahead and talked him through my work experiences..
the rest of the interview was strictly based on my work experience guyz...so please dont put something you cant defend!
I was asked about safety precausions i take while working, the number of people i worked with and what my roles were in the different companies...how i handled issues of safety and conflict in the workplace..etc
no questions about lafarge policies, competency questions, what do you know about the company etc...
the only awkward moment for me was when they asked about what salary i was expecting. I tried to dodge the question but he insisted that i give him a figure? well i researched online b4hand and what lafarge pay mtce supervisor in USA is about $46k (which translates to abot N500k/month) so i told him within the range of 300k-500k depending on experience. i couldnt read his body language this time..but my gut feeling was that they may be paying lower than that.(so you mite wanna go lower if they askd you)
The interview lasted 30mins, becos the next persons apointment was by 3.30pm.
when he askd me 'are there any questions?' after asking him some job related ones i asked when one could expect feedback of this interview..he said by August! becos thats when the project is expectet to start. and he hinted that passing this interview is a step toward another interview.
I think i can safely assume that this interview was a 'technical interview' and the next one would be th HRinterview where those kinda questions about company and ur competencies get asked.
Other people that were interviewd today (at a separate office of course) are those that applied for 'Protocol Officer'
thats pretty much it. any questions? :)
Congrats bruv!!
For the time and effort spent on giving the house this insightful feedback, thanks a bunch, Can Do. Now, if only someone can authoritatively tell us whether Sales people have been interviewed or not.....
@eeyore, I am yet to hear anybody has been called for the sales position. Let's just be calm.
guyz anyone else got that call yet?
guys,i would lyk to if anybody applied for senior lab technician,whether anyone ave been called for interview except @can Do
Very informative can do
guys,anyone else got invite 4 interveiw except @cando.i wil lyk to if anyone applied 4 senior lab tech
I think by now we should learn to take our minds off this wait. this is too much.
@zymbol,some senior quality control technicians were interviewed around mid of April.But were told they would be trained,cos most of them dont have the required experience,probably start with junior engineers.Lafarge will soon complete their project,to be commissioned soon.Well, there is still little chance to be call for interview.
House! I ran into an old friend that works with Lafarge. According to him, he did not take any test. He joined after we wrote the sales test. He is attached to logistics dept. He also told me he's been seeing some new faces recently(new entrants) in that same dept.
What I do not know is whether the logistics dept is an offshoot of sales dept over there. If so, I think the issue is getting more complicated. Whoever has another insider should please help us confirm what is happening.
@Realmay...i really dont know what you mean he dint write test but wrote sales test. One thing i realized when i went for my interview was that those on the sixth floor dint know of my appointment because the position was for a different project called Lakatabu Project. so my interviewrs were different from those who came for protocol officer interview.
@can do, I really dont know what you dont understand. I said the guy did not write any test at all but he joined Lafarge in April ie after we wrote the test in march. I hope you'l get this.
Cando u r right, i knw about lakatabu but the thing is they are taking too long to get to some persons dat succeeded in the test. Here is my story: i did a test with lafarge organised by dragnet at chamcity ikeja March 30th about ten of us, got an sms dat same day inviting me for interview 2days later at their plant in ewekoro where i met others who had applied and did the test long ago. Ok fyne, that did'nt go well anyway cos d position i was being interviewed for required minimum 2 yrs on d job experience wen i'm a fresh grad. I actually did nt do any online application my resume got to HR thru a friend, so i did'nt knw about d position until i met d panel (two separate panelist, 1st one had 3persons and second one 2persons). Anyway i urge u guys in da house to be patient, cos the project is still on so there's allota hope, just have faith. God is able.
House! this wait is much. Are we sure the compulsory reduction in the price of cement is not responsible for this non-invitation?
@Can do
