DANGOTE GROUP
QUESTIONS:
1. Why should you be hired?
Tip: Here, the interviewers are looking for that reason to hire above the others. You have to demonstrate reasons why you should be employed; your skills, knowledge, experience, projects etc should be summarised and put forth as reasons why you should be hired. These attributes should be linked to the role and the firm’s values should be incorporated.
2. Tell us about your final year project?
Tip: The assessors are desirous of you linking your project to the company, division, economy and society. You have to explain why and how the project is important; how it is useful to the firm and division and how conducting it has developed you as an individual. Expect follow-up questions which would be very technical.
3. Why Dangote Group?
Tip: You are to explain why the firm is desirous. For instance, “Dangote Group has an enviable brand across Africa; offers world class training, perks and is a good place to build a career. The group is actively involved in the economy of not just Nigeria but Africa, and I want to be part of this reality. Here is a Nigerian conglomerate pushing the boundaries across Africa and the world, delivering quality products and services.” Chipping in key timelines and investments of the firm across the various locations is a booster. Keep it cool but be accurate.
4. Technical Question: For instance, explain the working process of a refinery?
Tip: You are expected to exude technical proficiency in answering this question and subsequent ones. The interviewers are desirous of your knowledge (might be basic or advanced, depending on the role). To avoid a lengthy interview, simply summarise the processes involved but without omitting key points. Expect follow-up questions from your responses.
5. Tell me about a time you needed to get information from someone who wasn’t very responsive. What did you do?
Tip: Behavioural as it gets. The interviewer wants to gauge your persuasive skills in a working environment. What information did you require? How important was it? Why was the person reluctant to pass the information to you? How did the process go? Did you eventually get it? If yes, how was it applied? If no, what did you do? It is all about the Situation, Task, Action and Result.
