Topic: My nnpc imterview

The same payment with DPR...they use grade level and not GT, Level 8

obiwon is an idiot thats the only explanation....he has an issue with first class and 2:1 students and this is his method of showing it. do u know what it means to be a first class it isnt beans...it isnt easy...while people were playing and clubbing they were most likely reading then u test them on ss1 topics and use it as a judge...the man is an idiot and i will tell him to his face...for the science based part of the test we were asked biology, physics and chemistry subjects from senior secondary at a point it was all about what i remember from waec...let them judge people based on what they are skilled in and stop this generalised test that favour only math graduates or english graduates.....what other method does he want to use screen candidates...why didnt NNPC do functional test if he is such a fan of it....dundee!!!!!!

@dbest,
Quite understood.
All the best and God's grace.

Em!!howdy peeps, dont mean to intrude, but is it just me that did not get my TP fare refunded or is everyone in the same boat.please respond.
best regards

infact i was not impressed with his comment. who does not know that aptitude test is not a true test of knowledge not to talk of when you test people in english and maths which may not be their strength. how many of them did aptitude test before they were recruited? were they not recruited from school? it is not their fault.

How much do they pay Level 8?

JAJAMARK, when I read your initial response to dtbest's post I wondered whether or not you realized that your comment kind of confirmed Oniwon's statement about the quality of skills wrt the present generation of Nigerian graduates.

For me in life, you dont pass all the tests. No matter how good you are, you pass some and fail sometimes. its the way life is. If we pass all the time, we won't learn to empathize with people of weaker abilities. Concerning whether english, mathematics or not should be the standard mode of testing, I want to say beggars have no choice. Whoever wants to get jobs need to get his/her hand on as many types of test as are available. Being able to guess what people might come out with is part of what show people are good. Afterall our abilities to make a 2.1 or 1.1 too have been based on this. So why should we now leave school and think we start determining the kind of test people should set for the kind of people they want on their job! Our anger, anguish and tirade solve no problem.

In my opinion even 3rd class graduates shld b allowed next time to sit for the exams, i am sure if it were the case some ppl will truly b shocked to see what stuff some of those guys r made of. Gani fawehnmi of blessed memory falls into that class. Nowadays many ppl come with crappy 1st class degrees thinking it will intimidate oniwon. Lol.

Abeg o, free d gmd. He only stated that the majority of 1st class and 2.1s invited failed (watever their criteria for failure is as a 50% score is not failure but might have not made it to d interviews). It's normal to fail, it doesn't mean anyone who fails isn't intelligent and i don't suppose his statements suggested that in any way.
