Of course i am aware that ''who you know'' plays a huge part in getting jobs this days in naija....but from stories i have heard in recent times, unlike guys it seems like for the ladies its now ''who you know'' or ''who you are ready to sleep with!''(especially if the lady 'set' wella)
Not al about dat o.. Even if u be guy. Na just call e go chop. Where am serving now, i could remmba how they bounced/rejected many corpers who were posted there, they told dem they no longer have space to accommodate those corpers. Meanwhile, I, redeployed frm one of those states in d north, so we were told at d nysc secretariat to go get a letter of request from wherever we want to serve. It was just a call frm my dad that settles the bill.

Where are the jobs.
Re: Any Hope For Graduates With 2nd Class Lower? by gbagyiza: 7:25pm On Apr 18, 2013
demmy55: All the job offers I've seen comes with requirements and one of the common requirement is a "minimum of Second Class Upper Division.
What happens to majority of Nigerian graduates who graduated with Second Class Lower or even below that.

Can applicants with 2.2 still apply for a job with a 'minimum of 2.1' requirement?

Can relevant or additional training and courses on the CV of a 2.2 applicant change the mind of recruiters who requires candidates with a minimum of 2.1?

Is "a minimum of 2.1" requirement just to scare '2nd Class Lower, 3rd Class and Pass' applicants off?

Has any 2.2 applicant secured a job which requires a minimum of 2.1?

I need answers please.
my dear friend 2 be sincere wit u, grade shuld nt be an act of discouragement 4 u 2 secure a job.put ur trust in God, 4 wit God all tings r possible.but as u wait on d Lord ,try 2 be creative n go 4 a vocational training 2 be self employ b4 frustration will strike.

I just can not but let this thread pass me by without dropping ma two cents... People with 2:2 stand a great chance of getting a good job in the labour market except in some private companies mentioned earlier by some posters.. I know of Nestle Nig and KPMG(who recently did their grad trainee recruitment), they both clamoured for 2:1. I hail the 2:2 cabalx in d forum o. God pass them (the employers), i believe wt hardwork n prayerx, we wl surely get our dream jobs in the name of whoever u put ur believe.

Re: Any Hope For Graduates With 2nd Class Lower? by Burger01(m): 9:02pm On Apr 18, 2013
I had Diploma in Data processing (Upper credit), a 2.2 in Statistics, professional A+, CCNA, Mikrotik network certification, a masters degree in Information Technology from UNILAG. Months ago, I was employed as manager in federal govt parastatal. No connection, no button pressing and no bootlicking, I still got the job after series of tests, presentations and handons. My point is skills and certification matters. You just can't depend on 2.2 but strive to acquire relevant certification and skills. It helps. I knew this and went all out for it.. Now, I travel out at will and also have a private biz. So, my brother, its not just the degree but how prepared you are, how skillful, what job experience and then the grace of God...

Its unfortunate that most government ministries and organisations believe in paper qualification instead of competence. I would advice that all class of degree holders go for exams and interviews to prove who is qualified and who is not.

U shldnt be worried abt 2.2. Well, I narrowly missed d 2.1. Though I waited a yr after quitting my nysc job (though retained on contract), but presently, I'm on my 3rd job. All d 3 jobs were within 7months. No connection, no much experience, but Divine favour.

2.1, 2.2 or third class doesn't matter afterall all of us went to university and saw how all these 2.1 and 2.2 were made. How many Nigerian graduates will be able to come out and say he/she didn't sort throughout his/her stay in the university.Therefore, Nigerian university certificate doesn't matter rather what you have upstairs.

[quote author=HotNaijaBabe]@Op..like someone advised, do not put your class of degree on your CV, and then prepare yourself adequately for every interview and tests( as the case may be)..You'll be suprised that you will surely get your desired job if you scale through company's requirements..

I understand your point but its not bounding on everyone, i never for once sort anybody while in school.


Another disturbing thing is, companies prefer graduates of Private universities and its clear that is very easy to hit 2:1 in a private varsity compared to others. i might be wrong but not far from the truth.

"The total number of 1st class graduates in my school's entire life is still below the total number of 1st class graduates in some private universities in a single year"
