Whatsoever you want you will get it within the first class and second class Graduates.. Please don't promote laziness since good grade do not cause any harm try and get one. Your argument will hold ground if only you solicit for HR to give room for anyone in respective of your class of degree to try, they may get third class Graduates that are equally good as first graduates.. The way you are saying as if first class or second class Graduates don't know the technical know-how..

This shouldn't be an opportunity to castigate those with 2.1 or 1st class. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. You can have the skills and talent and still be intelligent academically. Stop making it seems like they are mutually exclusive.

its just a way to reduce number of applicants, recruitment costs alot of time and money. if as a company i put out a graduate trainee advert without restrictions , we will receive over 100000 applications, but when u put restrictions u get around 5000 which is still too much, so can u interview them all . truth is the graduates to job ratio is shrinking every day. its up to the govt to stimulate economic activities, but so far this regime has......

Yea... You're right , but ds should not be an excuse fr students to graduate with poor grades ...

But a lot don't merit the big grade they graduated with due to they sorted and those from poor background that couldn't sort will manage whatever they earn.

Degree..


I failed so much in school not because I was dumb, but because I got into school when I was unprepared to go to school as at when I attended.

Anyways, I failed very well. Didn't give two fhucks about classes, but attended because it was compulsory and those lecturers knew us all by name especially me; MadCow.



My first employer was the Man. He looked at my resume and asked for my Certificate, I sent him my Certificate and transcript. My transcript intrigued him so much that he just had to call me in. That interview blew his socks off.

3rd class no mean say the person dull.


And No, I didn't graduate with a third class.. My mother would have killed me.


My friend who read more than even 1st class graduates and had so many tutors graduated with a 3rd class. Today he has one of the best jobs out of my graduating class. He works in the field and is a darn good field engineer. Some people are good at applying knowledge, others are good at writing knowledge, others good at cramming.

I was just good at partying.. Thank God that attending classes was compulsory cos I believe everything I learnt from university was learnt during the period I sat in class.


That said.. I actually regret not putting in work in school. Not because I am not doing well today, but because I have to count on somebody overlooking my degree classification to get a chance that First Class and Second class upper graduates get on a platter. Also because I could have graduated with a first class if I had bothered to make an effort.

you're truly a MadCow bro.. You talk too much

Those from poor background seeing they can't 'sort' should have worked harder, read harder!

OP, Nigerian employers will never listen to this. This is because all this boils down to massive unemployment situation in Nigeria.

I blame partly our high institutions for our unemployment problem. Yes, in school a lot is said about graduating with at least 2'1 to get good jobs and nothing is said about graduates creating jobs. This makes students have high hopes of joining multinational companies after school instead of learning steps of starting their own biz

We must change the mentality of our lecturers so that they erase the idea of graduating with at least 2'1 to get a good job to learn so that they can create jobs when they leave school.

Sadly, you can't give what you don't have as many lecturers are so clueless as to how jobs are created in the first place. I remember one of female lecturers telling us back in the day in school that if you did not make at least 2'1, in her terms, "you are finished!"

This is rather regrettable.

Louislewis:
[size=18pt]Majority of 1.1,1.2 or 2.1 are always never the best. Today situation in Nigeria in terms of getting a job, based on grade, has made these grade obtainable, through backdoors with the help of lecturers that are never interested in quality on what you can do with the grade, but their pockets. We all went through the system. We know all these things. Due to these regards, companies and organisations are employing the best, grade wise and yet, productivity remains at low or zero levels. If this nation need to have all-round growth, emphasis on grade shouldn't play any part in terms of employment, but what can you do with whatever qualification either as an ND, HND, BSC, MBA, MSC, or PHD in your field of specialization and on the certificate. This will give everyone equal opportunity to come and defend yourself on what you have studied. Grade suppose to end up with the school record for the sole purpose of furthering education of individual when needed. With this, student will belt up for whatever course of study, knowing fully well that "Defence", will be a determinant factor for employment. Employers will get out the best through this means. Lecturer will no longer hold the destiny of student in the hands. Malpractices will drastically reduced from both sides of students and lecturers.[/size]

I concur with you 100%

Nonsense

Who was talking?


Heineken.. Pfft.

how's the labour situation presently?.... would you say its easier or harder to land a job within the first year of Graduation.

As a student, your main responsibility is to your academics. You are meant to excel in it. If you fail in your main responsibility, why should anyone trust you with another bigger one like a job?
Yes, some people are not meant for academics. In that case, they should not be in school in the first place. They should focus on what they excel at.

many first class graduates sef never geh job .. na third class de geh d job pass ma GOD help us in dis countri

What were u doing when ur mates were reading their butt off?
How do u expect the ones with good grades feel?,if there's no discrimination

Like taiwo that worked hard to av good grades should be in the same level with tunde that was lazy throughout school

Then everyone should just be lazy

y won't the white discriminate we blacks, when we blacks lyk discrimination among ourselves e.g in education, grades, qualification even color , tribe etc

.stop giving excuses man! you were simply not good enough to come out with a 2:1 or 1st class, Just deal with it.

even if you go back to school and Put in more effort I doubt if you would still make a 2:1. when it comes to intelligence 'Its either you have it or you dont'

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:

It depends on your qualification, course and luck.

The one thing I know is that it gets easier with experience.

I put it to you NO ONE with a first class could have sorted their way through... absolutely no way.

Lol..

I made a first class in my last three semesters of school and really boosted my CWA. Moved from a third class to a high 2.2 in 3 semesters and had the best Project and presentation score in my entire department.

Like I said, when I got into school, I was unprepared and had no clue what I was doing and just scrapped by until I did my internship in my second year final semester.

Don't worry, I know my case. And my career growth since graduation till date is a testament to that fact.

Anyway, I never witnessed that but amongst friends, I hear it often and well. Whatever sha.

Chartey:
Those grades were created for a reason.

Yes there are people who graduate with poor grades and eventually become successful but the majority end up achieving limited success in life. Those who become successful put in the hard work they neglected in school.

Good grades in school are not due to brilliance alone. They're also due to hard work, diligence, self-control, discipline, responsibility, good planning, focus, tenacity and other qualities.

Outside school, these qualities also make good employees (and employers) so it's only rational for recruiters to prefer graduates with such grades to others.

So if you're still in school make your good grades so that things will likely be easier for you outside school. A strong foundation is always a good thing.

I read this post and then scrolled past it,but I couldn't help but scroll back up and like it. One needs not say anymore,the post is clear and its message apt.

God bless you.

..good grades don't necessarily mean that a person studied very hard or was hardworking school..people sort their way thru school these so youbcan find a person with first-class that is no good on the job..employers shouldn't grade potential employees on their grades alone..
