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!
