I try looking for the main thread too, dont know why it was deleted, anyway the main point is that we shoud share ideas to help us cross the next hurdle

I scored 56%. Then the cut-off mark should be 50%.

I guess we continue with this thread for the next level.

Also, who has an idea of how this next phase is like?

We should all do well to get in touch with those who have passed through this stage before, maybe current staffs of FBN who passed through something similar

I Don't know why they deleted the first topic.
Anyway does anyone know what they do in the AC?

Got this on another thread,
jdbabzy:
What can I say that hasn't been said already?

First u might be a lil tense buh like we were told before we started, the whole exercise wud bring out the 'you' in you and u'd lose ur tension in no time.

I'd advide u guys to be very time conscious. Its best u use a timer to time urslf so u won't be caught unawares. For the first part wch involved some calculations (but was mainly a true/false/cant say scenario exercise designed to test ur analytical skills), I was able to use my fone do some lil additions without necessarily racking my head. U may also wanna employ dis strategy so u don't waste precious time.

After d 20minutes test u'd be split into groups. Some groups wud go for their powerpoint work while some wud go for their group discussions. Our powerpoint exercise for today involved a company wch was barely breaking even even after employing some strategies (interventions) to curb dis situation. They were losing dier clients to competitors. Losing staff as well to competitors. Dier staff were poor in report writing as well. So the task was that as a consultant whose service is been employed, outline d problems dey face, give reasons y u believe dey're d problems, profer solns and state d outcome of what ur solns wud give d company. Get to master ur powerpoint presentation skills now. Remember u won't have so much time. Use bullet points like; Problems include: income loss, staff dissatisfaction, etc. Solutions like: welfare package review, cutting costs, etc.

The group task was for us to advise a company that was set up in a rural community and needed to compensate d locals in d community who felt d presence of d company has made life worse for them and planned on staging a protest at the gate of the company's facility. Three scenarios were presented so ur group is supposed to discuss (within 20minutes) what scenario(solution) wud be better and den write a proposal to d CEO of d company. Note that ur first 5minutes is meant to be used in reading thru and collecting ur thoughts. Our grp (and most of d odas I also talked to) said they chose scenario 2 because scenario wud help d company save some money, engage d youths in an activity wch dey loved (an orchestra in dis case), wud help d company advertise themselves in d North whr d youths wud perform thus opening new markets for the company, etc.

The interview segment was basically to test ur leadership, team playing, innovative, problem-solving skills. U need to start thinking up scenarios where u employed ur leadership skill in solving a problem, where u were a part of a team and how u contributed to the team in terms of achieving targets, how u were innovative or creative and was able to think outside-the-box to solve an issue, etc.

I think I've given so much expo on the things we did today. Sorry I dint do this earlier. Got home late; I missed my way while driving back. Hope dez few tips help u guys.

Above all pray well. And abeg make una nor reach der tomorrow start dey talk say person don tell una wetin dem do o. Who knows! Questions may be different. But if dey're not...

Above all, I wish u all d very best.
