VIO & DVLA Jobs Recruitment, Invitation for Interview / Medical Fitness Test

Advertisement

The Vehicle Inspection Office Driver and Vehicle Licensing Administration (VIO-DVLA) has started inviting candidates for interview and directing candidates for medical fitness test prior to the Interview for the on-going recruitment exercise as advertized here.

The VIO-DVLA interview for shortlisted candidates is scheduled to hold on 14th and 21st January 2012. And the Medical Fitness Test is expected to commence from Monday 19th December, 2011 to Friday 13th January, 2012 which is prerequisite for the interview scheduled on the 14th and 21st January 2012. But the Bone of Contention is that candidates are expected to pay N1,500 (One Thousand Five Hundred Naira) for the Medical Fitness Test to the Riverland Hospital First Bank account, before undergoing the test. My question is why should candidates pay for the Medical Fitness Test and even if they are meant to pay for it, why should they pay for the Medical Test when they are not even sure they will be recruited after the interview, or are they sure all the people shortlisted for the interview are going to be selected for automatic employment. In most of the blue-chip companies in Nigeria, Medical Test is the last lap of the interview in the recruitment process and the employer bears the cost. I think somebody is trying to get fat on the poor job seekers.

The second Bone-Of-Contention is that the email was sent by Riverland Hospital instead of VIO-DVLA sending the email introducing Riverland Hospital as their official Laboratory center and directing candidates to go there for their Medical Fitness Test. As a result of this, we sent an email to VIO-DVLA via info@viodvla.com as they indicated in their website to authenticate the invitation sent by the Riverland Hospital management, But as at the time of this post no reply has been received and we shall update the post as we receive any reply from them. So, for now candidates should be wary unless they are sure it is not scam.
