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.

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.
