Yes Sir.

stl looking for the e-copy of d book. Wl appreciate if u can help.

gosh!

please what you need is an idea of the message he was trying to pass to your organization...I even thought it is an oil company I don't know that it is business centre.

fpeter:
hahahahahehhheeeee

seriously though, this is not funny. I was talking to my colleagues a few days ago and we were
reminiscing the good old days of being a secondary school student in FGC. the grammar taught to
us back then was solid, you would hardly see any FGC ex-student that cannot speak/write proper
English today. It is a shame to note that nowadays, children born between the 80s and the millennium
are struggling to even write good sentences or spell properly, you see a bunch of them here on NL.

I blame our leaders, checkout the older citizens of our country today their English and hand-writings are
impeccable but because of corruption they have made our youths semi-illiterates.

Sweetheart, can you write in your mother language?

this isn't too bad for an O'level graduate, he just got some spellings wrong. but thumbs up for his/her idea and stop miss leading as if its a BSc holder. @op if you were the one in shoes of this applicant and you come up online and see people humiliating you, how will you feel

I bet this will get a credit pass in WASSCE, right? We all need to admit that the letter in question paints a shameful picture of standard of the education in the country. If a senior secondary leaver cannot write a simple well-written application letter, who is going to teach him at higher institution of learning?

STEVENcrack:
before you conclude dear, think abt this questions;
(1)Why would a SSCE holder be looking for a job instead of furthering her studies....
(2) What kind of second school do u think her parent could afford.
(3) From this letter do u think she made her WAEC ?
All I see in this writer is a raw brilliant talent in embryo that only lacks diction organisation. Nigeria a country where young talents from poor pedigree dies.
The letter is not bad just that it lacks originality, she wanted to impress d employer so she used big words wrongly..she needs to work on her choice of words and organisation of words.

We have lazy students today that don't read. Go to some of the first generation universities. You will see holders of WAEC manning NASU and SSANU. They are the best typists. They moved from just using manual typewriters to using laptops and PC, and are able to make use of MS. These people could type memos and circulars on behalf of the VC, deans or HoDs of hand.

socialmediaman:
Applicant indicated "O level" not "Graduate". Misleading title

Even with o'Level qualification...He doesnt need to murder English to that extent!

name of school pls

@ op why try to mislead people of this forum? Of what gain would it be to you stating the applicant is a graduate whereas he applied as 0'level

Your company should be one of those that recruit casual workers

himkers:
He came looking for job in the firm where I work. I laughed after reading his letter and I wonder what kind of graduates our institutions are churning out.

Who you are, is what you attracts.

very funny.....

HND actually needs to be upgraded to BTech. They are graduates with a different orientation from Bsc or BEng

I am an HND holder,if you like continue smoking your oshogbo weed,I'll beat you hands down intellectually anyday anytime,I don tell the other ode too

Jarus:


I agree the best HND holders can hold their own against the best Bsc holders. But not sure about that if we look at average.

And your copious use of "so-called Bsc" in the comment makes one wonder if this is not about bitterness than proving a point.

" So called BSC"Apologies on that. Where are my manners!
I had to use it to refute a mention. The way the system ostracise and stigmatise HND is so poignant. And even d BSC are so dogged to envisage it.

what a serious minded guy, i wouldn't mind to get the guy as my staff.

You can link me up if their is any contact i can get him on!

D op must b rude n insensitiv 4postin sum1s applicatn 2d public domain.

Cutehector:
Ok

Idiota,I am an HND holder,if you like continue smoking your oshogbo weed,I'll beat you hands down intellectually anyday anytime

Jannie1999:
this one no be graduate at all

the writer isn't a graduate, he/she is o'level holder and a job seeker......... Don't monk. He tried with his level of education. Lol

Cutehector:
people still go to school and make silly mistakes in english language..

Are you in any way better Mr. "I too know"?

Franchise21:
By business center, he means computer business center where he types, prints, photocopy, spiral binds, laminates etc

ok ,then the applicant is qualified nah,was he expecting a B.Sc holder to apply

Even the worst student can rise above the heavens.
You said and I quote "They moved from just using manual typewriters to using laptops and PC, and are able to make use of MS." Give this writer a chance and I bet u that she wud do better than those ur references. Let her start from somewhere and moreover who made u a judge over her.

Our secondary schools not tertiary institutions

Make sure you understand me before you quote me. I won't say more than that. This was the same way some of you defended three "graduates" of ESUT they were rejeted by their PPAs during their NYSC.

see me see something..
no be business centre? the writer sef funny..your IQ should tell you that you dont need any application letter..just go there in person..
Common business centre wey no be firm..You just wasted your fuckin ink...
now you come here to display your....

and where did you see ond/hnd there?

gmacnoms:
it took me some tym to bcom concious of including on my mind, ond/hnd as graduates o.

STEVENcrack:

Don't mind them.

During my IT days I worked with 2 Bse microbiologists in view and they could not even defend the course just speaking high voltage english. My boss was always telling me to put them through.

During my NYSC I was awarded the best corper amidst the so called BSC.

I Enrolled for CCNA couRse something outside my field, After d 6months training(HiiT)ibadan I was d only one that finished with a distinction amidst the so called BSC.

Even my lecturer a BSC holder used my project work that I carried out without her supervision just her financial assistant to bag her masters

BSC is so overrated. D only difference is d professors and the latest modern facilities at your disposal bcoos of government interventions.

The best HND holder can challenge the best BSC.

It's about the individual, not the certificate. I have a bachelors degree in English Education ( but I'm hot o ) and I have hyper-intelligent friends with HND; and they are better with the practical aspect of their course than some degree holders.

He made it clear "O LEVEL"

Lets focus on the real issue here. A primary six pupil should be able to write a formal letter properly not to talk of an O'Level holder. The education system really is decayed.

The guy tried!!!

Morals: no one is perfect.

And if you don't know it is normal to be rejected in your PPA. There are so many reasons for rejection and the academic assessment is just (one) of them.

ExInferis:
screw you, for an O level i think he really did well. You need to see what degree holders write.

the handwriting is better than mine sef.

Did you say he did well for an O'level holder? Huh?

We seriously need to quit applauding mediocrity in this society of ours. That letter is upper rubbish and i'd assume it was written by a first school leaving certificate holder. Shior!

Cutehector:
what course did you read please?

see your life outside,you mean what course did I studied....well I studied civil engineering and came out with distinction,if His excellency PMB can rule nigeria with a secondary school certificate,then I'm going places,I don't know about your sorry ass
