Do you guys know that this thread was for downstream and the process is different for upstream? There was another thread for upstream you could check that for correct information on what you are looking for.

@Catalyst. Well dont know, the interview as at 4, Afribank street VI. And a continuation of the Dragnet test of feb.
I also got the IV i read Elect/Elect.....
Mighty Congrats everyone...From the address, you are being recruited for Total Nigeria Plc; the subsidiary that operates in the downstream sector. I'm excited abt the news and i'm more than willing to share. My interview was primarily technical; filled with questions from my discipline and structured to test my technical depth. I was also asked questions about my career plans and what things i think i do best (Technical and soft skills). I was asked if i was willing to relocate to any part of the country (Not world...lol) And i was also asked what i knw about Total. There are others who hv done this interview; sauer, rayo2002 et al..pls assist us. For those to whom i hv sent PMs, kindly update us in the case that i hv ommitted anythn as im in quite a hurry. I believe that our testimonies will drown this page shortly!!!! All the best..people!!!

@Biger Boy: Xnks for your timely response my field is Elect/Elect...
Red for questions like what dyu do first b4 help comes to U if U wake up and see urself in the middle of the desert?
Wat dyu kno bout the company!
Wat dyu imagine the future to be like in the light of tvs, radio, internet?
Goodluck to those having theirs today!
Ok, the interview is over, God help us. For those that did theirs last month how soon b4 we get a response? Also do they communicate to the unsuccessful ones at the same time? God blesss, nothin less.
@bigger boy...those who wer successful got feedback earlier than others...either way total will always get back to you.
For those just invited for interviews, you might get very technical questions if you studied engineering. I was asked basically technical questions. First was to name agents that must be present in a fire. Second was why we have star-delta connections for motors. I was also asked some clever question based on a drawing on the board. There were five people on the panel, including a French. The French guy asked what to do when considering installing a generator in a location. Then alternative sources of energy, etc.
You'll also be asked what you know about Total. Try impress them here, but don't play it too far! It could be dangerous when you get questions you have no answers to.
lastly, prepare yourself as you would for any other interview.
for engineering guys, the job is either in their networking department or as a specialities engineeer.
I do hope this helps :)
I asked them when they are likely to get back to me. Said I shud expect response on or before Month end as to the success or otherwise of the interview.
all is well.....
Not a nice question but does any1 have idea or those who got their offer already what the likely monthly salary for a beginner in Total downstream could be?
^^
haha. GOODLUCK in ur quest for answers.
@bigger boy. Am sure U wanna know the answer too! And so will those reading this. Please answerer we await your feedback before Total's feedback. *smiling*
300K per month for starter...
