Hello House,
It's my regret to inform you that Diageo just bounced me.
I applied for graduate Finance, did the test and joined the queue on the waiting game.
I finally got their mail now saying I wont be progressed to the next stage.
I sincerely wish success to my friends here who are going to the next stage.
I also wish success to the rest of us who were bounced. There are several good roads that the Lord will open for us henceforth.
Thanks y'all.
Stay lifted bro, you are destined for greatness. God will alws make a way as long as u keep ur focus. U r bigger than diageo now. Cheers!!!

Kessy, congrats! I got the same mail too yesterday.I'm slated for september 14th. don't forget to hint the house how the A.C is like. Wish u d very best!
Congrats peeps!
Some of us still haven't even in the least got a bounce or otherwise mail from Diageo o!
...
After getting to d interview stage,I was finally bounced a day after I did my interview. Well,to God be d glory. Better days are ahead. To al my peeps who are stil in d race,wishing u very best in d remaining stage. God is Great!
Interesting silence on this thread!
Goodluck to all the invitees.
It's not been encouraging at all on this thread for a while especially from those who have had their assessment centres. It would have been encouarging if some of you let us know what to expect on ours! Anyway, it is well!
Folks are only trying to be conscious thats all. Perhaps not wanting would-be interviewees to have an edge over them, which is somewhat understandable. Although what i find incomprehensible is the complete silence. A concise brief of the A.C activities and stating ones personal take on the process wouldn't in any way be amiss; at least considering that this is an open forum. I personally am not soliciting 4 any inputs o0, i m just buttressing the fact that this is an open forum and a little input here and there wouldn't be dat bad!
But like Engr Iyke earlier stated, 'it is well'
And for all those that have had theirs and the prospective interviewees (including moi), i wish u tonnes of good luck as everyone will truly be needing it!
Just left the AC still on the move will just give a quick breakdown
Interview: basic competency questions
Why diageo
Why the grad program
Tell us about a time when you worked with a difficult colleague, supervisor or customer
Tell us about a time when you developed a skill or started something new
When you found yourself in a difficult situation and how u delt with it
And alot of other questions
Role play
You will be given a document to read to prepare yourself and the will chair a meeting (mine was with a difficult emplyee that had problems with another team player)
Presentation
Again a booklet, read, timed, process info and present. Mine was about the selection of site for a new product.
Group exercise
Booklet read, timed, process info, discus and agree with other group members. Then u can elect some one to present.
Mine was abt a new product launch.
I hope this helps, the people in this forum should remember that the main goal is to share info and help one another.
And before i forget the position today is the IS position and most of us studied IT related courses.
Got to go home later and goodluck guys
@linx24, one word for u bruv: 'LEGENDARY'!
@ Denizzman...whether they keep silent or not. What will be will be...
It's describes man's inhumanity to man as well. Some of us tried to help having done our one-on-one interview before others.
Nevertheless, as always...it is well!
@Linx 24....God will favour you surely!
I got this message from Diageo today. I have been bounced. All the best to those in the race.

@kessy really feel 4 u....bliv me...i waz so disorganised 4 like two weeks when i got a rejectn mail after the one on one ginterview....however just try to have that notion that and belief that it ur stepping stone to attaining to a greater height....wish you and everyone else the the best......
@kessy, i really feel for you. wow, i never even knew they ld have started sending mails after the A.c even when some dudes havent done theirs.
Just put it behind you and focus on other applications...
if it wouldn't be too much to ask of you, plz when did you do yours, and for what position?
God de!
@kessy, it is well!
Just don't stop the search. The meal ticket might just be lurking around the corner.
Forge ahead man!
Kessy pls can you confirm how many of you attended the AC for the Graduate Supply position, it's vital please.
@ Kessy2011 Thanks Boss!!!
Let me sing a bit here, perhaps by so doing i ld inject some life back here...'la la la la, do re mi fa, di aa gg ee oo, gu in in es ss'... Abeg make una kip d thread alive joor, silence no go guarantee d jab, na only Baba God!
So is any1 aware of d pay package, and if training mite involve employees flying out?
The silence reveals the tension. But as denizzman said na only Baba God....
Last year trainees were paid about N114k or almost N120k.
Hopefully, it will be better this year.
Guys, It is well!
Okay o0...dats quite ok sha, given dat therez ample room 4 growth..nice 1..do u know if trainin wuld inklude travlin out!?
So many people have been left with nothing after getting as far as the Assessment Centre. You see, in the end, it feels like one shouldn't have applied in the first place. That's the reason for the silence. I mean what else do you expect? People putting up posts that show anger, disappointments, tears, regrets etc? So the silence is better after all. Anyways, that one aside, is travelling out your real motive for wanting to join Diageo? if so then you don miss road oooo. may be u should have a rethink and start seeking a career in aviation with an international airline (Air host/hostess) ;D;D;D;D
Brother, first and foremost, the nigerian job market is not one 2 cast total hope in a given slot, one must still make room 4 d possibility dat tingz could turn out differently else u ld be damaged! That said, ur comment suggests dat many ppl have been rejected after d a.c, is that a fact or an assumption? If on d affirmative, kindly detail d house..
About d travel-inquisition, i m guessing ur comment was made in jest, as who would want 2 join a company on d peripheral grounds of travelling. I just wanted 2 be aware dats all...
Goodluck 2 evry1 o0, but much as we hesitate 2 admit it, we can't all work 4 diageo o0! We pray 2 be selected but we will not die if we aint...gbam!
@ dennizzman...i totally agree with your last sentence that we can't all work with or for Diageo. We can only pray to be among the successful ones.
@Beethoven...you just hit a point! It will take a great amount of courage to post at this stage that one was bounced. I appreciate ur empathy.
Looking for job is indeed a job!
God will help us all!
Keep it going guys, someone must testify to the Goodness of the Lord here. Even though i have been bounced long ago i still take out time to check on this thread. @ Dennizzman there's a high possibility of traveling out depending on the nature of your Job with Diageo, just keep your fingers crossed while u pray to get the offer. There's a drop of greatness in all of us Diageo or No Diageo we should continue to lookout one day we'll get the one that befits us. Stay Lifted Guys!!!
