Though lying is a no no, I suggest you come clean once you are successful with the aptitude test. You might also try to present the grade of your university amongst the university in Africa. Am sure if it has good ranking, it can work in your favor. Most times job seekers are disqualified in the first stage due to issues like years of experience and school grade. But the truth is at that level its probably a computer searching through the database of received applications. Lastly your title is misleading, you are qualified for the Job based on the job description but you lied about your grade. I wish you all the best and do away with lying, it leads to bigger and deadlier lies so stop it now. 1 Like |

Roseey0: My dear, that is the way oo. Especially with NBC. Pass the test wella, nobody will remember your degree in NBC. Also, wear jeans and t-shirt to the interview, not suit. Thank me later. |

I will advise you not to go. If the company outsourced the interview process to a HR firm, and you got discredited, how will you feel if you meet that same team in another company interview. It would have been better if you applied with a lesser requirements without lies. |

Since you said you are desperate about the job. Try and find out why they need 2.1 and see if you can defend yourself.. You just have to be bold and explain how devoted you are to the job and how you can help the company to achieve their vision and you can also give me then the risk you will bear if you don't meet up! But stay safe my man and I wish you all the best.. Just go and face your warrant.. Nothing dey sup. God I with you may man.. 1 Like |

cana882:I will advise you to go.The criteria placed online may just have been a method to sieve off candidates as most recruiters do not have the resources to run a test for all the 2.2s and 3rd class in the applicants market. You have as degree is what matters,so be smart,intelligent ,ensure u blast their test and most importantly open up before they find out themselves. Besides,I don't know what kind of life u lived while in school, but if you schooled in this part of the continent,there could be tmany reasons an average student will not make a 2.1.

Go for the interview. Note that your lies just started because you are going to lie more in order to defend yourself. Prepare more lies to cover you up and persuade the interviewer. If you don't go for the interview, you are a big loser. |

This is one of those rare cases where the integrity clause is kicked out of the door. Go for the f*cking aptitude test/interview man. You might just get the job! Trust me, by the time you stay 3 years at home due to 2.2 discrimination, being a man of integrity will be a little source of worry to you. Bonne Chance! 1 Like |

I had a similar experience, I do not meet one of the requirements of a job advert, though I didn't lie while filling my application online,I was invited for an aptitude test,they told us to come with our original certificate which I did, unfortunately,I was shown the way to the door with others like me that didn't meet one of the requirements,they said HR don't view computer applications,they only look out for keywords and send invites to applicants,to think I even travelled from Ibadan and V.I,the stress et al,some cried like a baby,cos some travelled from Portharcourt,Abuja etc to Lagos.Being embarrased was even an understatement,I couldn't even share my experience with anyone even my school mates that were there were asking,was too embarrased to tell them. So,my bro,what I do now is to send an email to be sure they would accept my qualifications,that was the advise the HR gave,serious org would definately reply. |
