Lool.
Not to discredit the writer but here is my own 2cent.
Paper qualifications are NOTHING compared to the qualifications obtained in real life.

You are now the Chairman NURTW Oshodi chapter ?

#No offence sir, just playing around sir

LaudableXX:

No, they didn't do anything to me. Any blogger that peddles lies about me, will get arrested and sued for defamation. I no get time for rubbish. But I have witnessed the lives of others ruined by their fake news. So I have a deep-seated dislike for their unending lies and falsehood. As for all those who have made money from blogging lies, forged tales and fraudulent stories, may their money disappear like dewdrops on a sunny hot day....

The First person to get job dring my set was a lady that graduated with 3rd class..

Onyenna:

Baba... Grave ke?.... Abi nah Grace you mean?...

HigherEd:
Actually the first person to get a Job from my class after we graduated from school was the only third class graduate amongst us. The second guy who barely got a 2.2 now works in his father's company. Many of the 2.1s are still at home. I'm not trying to encourage mediocrity but the Nigerian labour market is more complex that y'all think.

don't mind the grade drunken writer.
I have 2 friends who graduated with 'thirdy', one is under UN and the other is working with a ministry in abuja. The 2-1s are still teaching in secondary school.
Immediately we left school , I realized it was not about grade anymore, but you connection, network and above all - luck.

Danialuone:
My brain and mind is my certificate ,Nigeria education teach you to be a slave .I have destroyed my certificates since i realised that the 30years i used to get it is a waste and i can not become a slave under any pretence for now.Use your head and mind well my brother,forget certificates.

Employers of labour also know that most 2.2 holders got it through sorting. So they believe in what job seekers can offer.

BARAJ92:
. I don't believe this your post, most U.N jobs require 2-1 and above and some years experience in most cases. You people should not condemned the O.P as he is saying the truth, Once you finished with less than 2-1, your chance of even writing graduate trainee test for most high paid is less than 0.4. This exclude those with connection and I.T skills

LaudableXX:


Stop generalising and exaggerating. How can you say "Once you finished with less than 2-1, your chance of even writing graduate trainee test for most high paid is less than 0.4?" It really depends on the industry, in which the vacancies exist, as well as the requirements they are seeking in each candidate. I once overheard a HR Manager telling her colleagues after an interview session, that it would be wiser to shortlist a candidate that had 2-2, as opposed to another applicant with a 1st class. Her excuse was that the 1st class guy performed so poorly during the interview, that she is not sure if he is the owner of the certificate!

P.S: I know 2 ladies in my church with a 2-2, who have been working for UN Women office in Abuja.

I dunno U
I didn't even school in Naija

BARAJ92:
It can never be through general recruitment

hmmmmmnn:

Check your comment I quoted and compare my moniker

BARAJ92:
check most graduate trainee jobs advert, what they require is 2-1. There are exceptions to this rule which you sited which is part of the 0.4. Graduating with 1st class or 2-1 does not give you job automatically but gives you a fighting job in almost all jobs than being screen out even before the screening is being done

LaudableXX:


Again I repeat: It depends on the industry, where the recruitment is being conducted. Not all corporate sectors or industries require 1st class or 2-1, for entry level jobs. Are you even aware that to work as a teller or a junior contract staff within a local bank, you don't need more than an HND? Check with the outsourcing companies that supply contract staff to the financial houses.

BARAJ92:
Graduate trainees jobs is different from those type of jobs. I still stand on my point, getting 2-1 is the ultimate for those without connections and great oratory skills as it will open many opportunities not necessarily getting the job. Take a look at most juicy graduate trainee jobs on Nairaland and check the requirements
