My nnpc imterview

There is only one rule...PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD!
A lot of people decided to keep mute about the NNPC interview believing that they may be putting themselves at a disadvantage. Well, I believe differently, because I'm sure that if that's where God wants me now, helping others to prepare better will not stop me from getting there.

I had mine on Thursday, July 7th and I can assure you, with God on your side, you can always wing it. On July 6th, I got an sms that I should report at NNPC Towers by 9a.m instead of the 11a.m scheduled on my Invitation letter. They realized that the protocols involved took time so the change in plans. Everybody being interviewed on a particular day will have to be there by 9a.m. So for those that wants to fly in that same day, consider how best you can make your arrangements.
At the gate, someone will confirm your letter of invitation and then allow you into the building where you'll be directed to the accreditation team for document verification and you'll be given some forms to fill asking about your work experience, salary expectations, travel details (for e-payment refund of your transport fare) and so on. You will then be placed in a panel depending on your course of study.
I am a GT but I noticed that the EH were being asked for laptops or storage devices. I couldn't confirm the need but the EH should go with any of these devices.
While you are waiting, your document will be filed and taken to the panel handling your course of study. The panel I faced consisted of 8 members and I think the least will be 5.
The major issue is that you need to know about NNPC and be able to defend what is in your resume with basics about your course of study. The interaction with the panel will be jovial as they want you to be relaxed and I personally think they want you to succeed!
The questions that really took me off balance are these;
1. Are you religious?
2. Tell me about your family.
Surprised? I was surprised when I was asked these questions. They took being religious to mean "Do you pray?" And they joked about the fact that I might be a pampered child since I'm the last born! Imagine! And there was no question about politics or current affairs (for me anyway)
All in all, just go and trust God that what belongs to you can not pass you by. I personally believe that if NNPC is the place God wants me to be, then we'll definitely meet as colleagues in the nearest future.
I'm praying this will be the testimony that someone out there is waiting for, and we'll have a lesser number of Nigerian graduates looking for jobs out there.

Whatever happens, remember this one rule...only one rule...PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD!

This is a good contribution from you YDA. I wish you best of luck as you are awaiting the result of your interview.

YDA, u are d bumb, bravo! What so many ppl thk dey no is less 2 what dey understd. U are just too matured. I guess, dis is d right thread 4 now. I laught whn many resolved nt to share d experiences. They av forgotten dat DECISION 2 absorb them into d system or nt is taken just immediately there exit. Oh i laught again, those dat av been destined 2 join NNPC soon av been on d list 4now &more on waiting list as d interview unfold. My is july 15th, and i will equally share my full experience. 4 those still preparing GO TO About.com: Need. Know. Accomplish., in d search zone, type best answer to interview questions and search. This we takecare of some funny technical questions just as d ones YDA was asked. Best of luck!

@YDA, I assure you that ur name is already on the list of those scheduled for NNPC training (Inshallah). Unfortunately, some selfish and hopeless individuals who have vow never to share the same will be reading this your interview experience. My advice, always put your trust in God and every other thing you want in life will be added unto you. NNPC or otherwise, what will be will surely come to pass. Mind you, I have not been invited for the interview but really happy for those that got the invitation and would like to see continuity of the objective of this forum (Sharing info and Ideas). Wishing every open minded individuals in this forum success in their interview. Cheers

YDA, pls wat means of identification was accepted?
do they accept other means than national I.D, Drivers licence and International Pasport?

Thanks, @yDA. U r d BOMB!

Thank you Thank you Thankyou YDA. God we make a way for all of us that believe we're meant to work in NNPC

Job Interview Answer:
1.Why Do You Want This Job?
proposed answer would be: This is not only a fine opportunity, but NNPC is a place where my qualifications can make a difference. As a finance executive well versed in the new stock options law, I see this position as made to order. It contains the challenge to keep me on my toes. That's the kind of job I like to anticipate every morning.

2. Why would you want to leave your present job?

• I am interested in a new challenge and an opportunity to use my technical skills and experience in a different capacity than I have in the past.
• To be honest, I wasn't considering a move, but, I saw this job posting and was intrigued by the position and the company. It sounds like an exciting opportunity and an ideal match with my qualifications.
• This position seemed like an excellent match for my skills and experience and I am not able to fully utilize them in my present job.

1. Nigeria joined OPEC in 1971
2. Oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1956 at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta after half a century of exploration. The discovery was made by Shell-BP,
3. Set up in 1971 as the Nigerian National Oil Corporation (NNOC), the NNPC is a commercial international Corporation engaged in petroleum activities. It is envisioned to be a world class company driven by shared commitments to excellence, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. In 1977, the NNOC was merged with the Ministry of Petroleum Resources under Decree No. 33. The former name, NNOC was thus changed to NNPC
4. NNPC core businesses: *exploration and production, *gas development, *refining, *distribution, *petrochemicals, *engineering, and *commercial investments(7)

Vision
NNPC will be a world-class oil and gas company driven by shared commitment to excellence.

I was not invited for the interview but i congratulate and prayed success for all invitees, especially the true ones who will like to see others succeed.

u are d bomb. What a healthy competitor u are? I hope to meet u at the trainning school. U ARE RESOURCEFUL. Thanx and God bless u

House, does anyone know if the original degree cert is a compulsory document for the interview? Mine is not available now.
Someone should help pls....

Thank you yda and Oseri for the info. one thing i must add for those of you on GT. The essence of the GT is to creat jobs for the unemployed. Listen to this , a friend of mine who was in one of the last recruitment exercises was already working with IBTC Chartered bank when he applied as GT , He was told he will not get the job at the interview because he was gainfully employed. So i dont know how you will be able to manage the information if you have a good job already and applied as GT.

@Yda, I declare in the name of Jesus that you will get this job..Amen! @ykokuns, my date is also 15th july..we shall see there...am for EH anyway!!

@MOUNT PISGAH, there is sense in wat u said but it's not totally true. The interviewer may simply want to know the level of ur passion for the job

God bless every contributor dat wants others to excel. It implies u're already excellent

Asolutely NOT NECESSARY. They won't ask for it so no need to travel with it.

poster yours was more laid back. As for me, not a single question on current affairs, personal questions, NNPC subsidiaries and history etc. I was asked why i wanted to leave my job, what i liked about my job and what i felt NNPC could do to add value to me, etc etc. Then i was asked questions based on my work experience, my discipline, etc. They wanted such basic things like what is GAAP, what is NPV, What can u use to appraise a project, etc.

They kept saying to be relaxed cos i was so jumpy but they were really nice except when they kept asking and asking questions. I felt it wont end. lol.
