@Op depends on the school you graduated from bro... 2.2 get levels, a UNN 2.2 is not on the same level with a FUTO or Unizik 2.2

. Idiot talk keep deceiving urself

Ugosample:

Weydon Sir

can't just immagine ppu are still thinking ds way, despite we are in 21st century

holysainbj:


OP chai
you just made mess of yourself.
you should be a lady if you are a guy.
definitely u are one of those students that tried, toiled, strived to get a first class or at least a 2:1 and as u didnt u think the world is over.
My friend pick up your miserable self and stop looking for employment, be creative
degree ko degree ni

Is this how you console yourself?

There too many Olodos on nairaland. Just look at how they came after @op! Conscience.

Hello,

I hope you all are doing fine .

I graduated from the University with a Second Class Lower (Bsc Economics), Missed 2.1 by 0.01 point . A partly qualified Accountant who has good knowledge of Taxation , Audit , Financial reporting and Microsoft Office suite. I am still hunting for Job.

I would see a lovely vacancy that I would want to apply for, reading through the requirements, I would realize that the minimum requirement is a 2.1.

I would give my CV to people and they would say "No, We cant help you . You made a 2.2 .

All these denials just because I didnt make a 2.1



Lessons for undergraduates still in school :

-Try as much as possible to graduate with not less than a 2.1
-Graduating with a 2.2 might deny you from getting certain benefits.
- Ignore those that say , "Even first class still dey look for Job, who 2.1 help?"
- Trust in God.

if u hv dis sort of mindset u wont exceed... even third class is not an excuse to achieve wht u want....

It is not by class of degree oh.The race is not for the swift or powerful or intelligent but Time and chance happenth to them all...

Believe it or not Grade matter alot in your academic life.
Not just about going to school but how you could be able to utilise your brian while in school is issue that matter.
Instead of telling your junior ones to belt up while in school in other to boost thier grade some people are here discouraging them.
The fact that mr A graduated from school with first class an lack job up till this moment that does not warrant you to conclude even if mr B should graduate tomorrow with first class it'll be the same thing no. Our destiny inlife cannot be the same thing.
Alot of people who are un-employ today they are the causes of their problem because while in school they did not serious and this affect their grade negatively.
No organization wil want to employ you when your grade is too low.
I know alot of tout will insult me here for this comment but i have tell them the truth

Well said jor, All undergraduates should do their best to gaduate well; whether you will use the certificate or not.

Given ko..I graduated last year from uniport's computer science department..a friend of mine had 4.49..beg from now till tomorrow, H.O.D say nothing can be done..

Lol, that una yeye department. Graduated from same school few years ago with a 2.90 CGPA. Yeah, far from the best but can never be ashamed or feel miserable though I see the minimum of 2nd Class Upper job adverts. The OP has got a psychological problem I know of. There are many working in big firms with a lower GP than mine for sure but then I'm not moved, I'm confident and calm, I'm not the best but I'm glad I'm not the worst

While it is good to graduate with a good grade (to make it easier to attend exams and interviews), It doesn't matter at the end of the day. all that matters is the grace of God.
I graduated with a 2:2. a low one o. cgpa 2.52.......... and this is my second job. My first job was awesome and the only reason I left it for this is because this pays 5 times the first did and it is a multinational one. And for the two jobs, I did not know anybody. All the grace of God.
And my advice is for you to try doing something for yourself. Even if you get a job where you earn 2m monthly, you will hate working for someone and want to start your own business...from my experience. Even though its easier from here because I can play around with business ideas knowing i have a monthly steady income, But once one blows I'm resigning. And trust me that is how you will feel 3-4 years after working for people....

So think ahead of the 2:2. Do something. develop a skill. perfect it. or find someone's idea partner with them, and help them market it. Stop being limited.

You're right..he has a psych issue. Though I graduated with a 2.1, I wouldn't have been down and kicking myself since I know what I'm made of.

Well said , d truth is graduating wit a 2.2 can limit ur opportunity to gettin certain job, dnt knw y som ppl ar insultin d OP, y nt channel dat energy to advice d OP rather than insult, d labour market is a competitive 1, jst try n aquire som professional skills so u can stand out of d competition ..

Well i know people with 1st class that don't still have jobs yet. i finished with a 3rd class and i actually have a graduate paying job. i also have my entrepreneurship by the side. beside if they tell you minimum requirement is a 2-1 apply even if you have a 2-2 apply, write their test and during and interview you would be surprised. Most people don't put their grades on their CV. Lets not forget your certificate looks good on paper but its networking that counts. I would have sincerely loved to come out with a better result to be honest.

Do you have any tips(not the generic advice we hear every day) on how one can land a good paying job?

maasoap:

Is this how you console yourself?

you could forward your CV, there might just be an opening for you in my enterprise. i console myself with the fact that i earn more than my degrees can ever get me.

@ all .


I am just trying to advice those that are still in school to try and make good grades.


Meanwhile, Please I am looking for an Accounting job ... Thank You !

Which job are you still looking for? I thought you said all jobs are for 2.1 graduates only

Calendermokola:

I am sorry brother, it isn't 2.2. The course you read is what I called a problem course, hard to get a job with that even with 2.1, saying from experiences. My advice for you is to continue your accounting exams and become chartered.lots of my friends that had2.2 Accounting barely spent up to a year before getting employed.Lastly, there are so many job openings that requires a minimum of 2.2, so I don't understand your complain of marginalization. change your mindset and improve on your skill, diversify.

Honestly there are no tips. It's the grace of God and your hard/smart work when you finally get the job. so while waiting for that 'dream job', do something.. .. never believe you need so much to start something. Just start up something. ideas or marketing other people's ideas.
There is a thread in the business section on businesses you can start with almost nothing. Check there for something and start.
