Pls,cv expertise in d house,
Is it proper to write ur grade on d CV.either 2.1, 2.2 &3rd class or better stil defend it wen appearing for d interview.

It depends on the basic thing/s the recriuting firm wants....

For instance for a customer service post at a bank, most banks would rather choose someone with 2-2 whose C.V expresses sociability, outgoing-ness, fashionableness, etc to someone with 1st class who is a no-laughter, no-play, large-googled professor... (a.k.a jew man)

yes it is because some employers will look out for it where you dont include it some will ask for it even if they dont ask put it.

l am speaking from the Nigerian perspective

But wat if it is not stated in d advert,cos 1 need to b careful cos u will not b dere wen d cv is being scrutinized.
Well,for emphasis sake,wat abt oil coys.

If d format of d cv required includes it, or u are proud of it n want to show it. odawise, not necessary

Grade Obtained and work Experience A̶̲̥̅̊я̲̣̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ †ђξ major things an employer would want to see in your Cv especially as a fresh graduate with little or no experience.!! If you don't put your grade, you stand a huge risk of not being invited for job test or interview! I tell you! Most firms like Kpmg, pwc etc don't have such time to waste! They will throw your cv to †ђξ bin once your grade isn't on your CV!!! If you have a 2:1 or 1st class, be proud of it! Showcase it on your Cv! It'll give you an edge! Even 2:2 isn't bad!

weather from †ђξ Nigerian Perspective or International perspective, puting your Grade in your CV isn't an abberation!! In other words, Not wrong!! Your Grade in school is part of your achievement! And you should be proud of it!! Only a third class holder will say it isn't necessary!!! Your CV talks about you in absent! So every thing that would sell you should be included!!!

I lyk U!.

Shar any extra power you can include in your C.V add O...because job search is now like a survival-of-the fistest or most connected

flunt it if you ve it cos its more of a benefit than a cost.... do not forget what a CV is all about.

A good grade will only be an added advantage and not otherwise. If you feel the grade is not below par, you can include it; else you might want to withhold it (since the grade is not specified to be included as part of the qualification for such vacancy)till the interview stage, where u can be given the opportunity to prove urself and show them 'what you carry'...

Not being stated in the advert shows it will not be a criterium for shortlisting...I think#

Now my advice: If you have a good grade(2:2 and above), then include it.

It depends on the grade you graduated with,if u have a 2.1,1st class ,distinction or upper credit,sell yourself by putting it in there .
It's not advisable to write 2.2 or lower credit in ur CV,cos that's what an average graduate would have.(my opinion sa)
