Please Advice; Got Called For A Job Interview I'm Not Qualified for by cana882(m): 7:49am On Sep 24, 2015 |
I am a desperate job seeker haven completed my NYSC early this year. I saw a job advert and applied for it. All criteria and requirements were met except for the fact that they wanted a first class or second class upper applicant while I graduated with second class lower (though from a reputable university in ghana). I went ahead and filled in "second class upper" and I got an sms this morning inviting me for an aptitude test. Like I earlier said, i'm desperate and would love to have this job but don't know if I should still go for the test or not. Please advice 2 Likes |

cana882: No need don't even go there. One thing about job is that you can lie about everything and get ready to defend what ever you lied about,by going for research for relevant answers to your quest but lie about your grade isn't a good deed,you should never do it again,cos u will always be disqualified,next time fill in ur grade if you want to take chances even if they ask for higher. Goodluck as u pursue for job!!!! 70 Likes 1 Share |

Op, see how you just prevented another genuinely qualified person from getting called. Why did you have to lie in the first place? Don't you dare set foot at the venue? 14 Likes 1 Share |

Go, you have nothing to lose. At least take the aptitude test first, then youll tell them. Why not take your chances, and you'll explain to them that u wanted the experience of writing an aptitude test, as this is your first. Embarrassment is part of life, its not like they'll kill u anyway. 55 Likes 2 Shares |

Just last week I applied for a job of which I met all requirements except one (age limit). I got called for an aptitude test and interview. After scaling through the test it was now time for the interview and as it went on I was asked again how old I was and I didn't wanna lie so I told them the truth. The lead interviewer then told me he was sorry that I missed the age limit with a year. Now I told him that even though I saw the requirements and the fact that I didn't meet up with the age stuff I still applied and they called me for the test and interview. His response was thousands of people applied for the same job and its not possible to be going through applicants' CV to see if they meet up or not. Its only through the interview. As only me take waka come na so I take waka go. They've already laid down their requirements bro but I'd advice you go so you will know how to prepare for the next interview. Goodluck 11 Likes |

Please don't stay off. I am a testimony. I applied for a job with a, second class upper, but had lower class. But I passed the three stages of the interview and I am now an assistant manager. Those that we came in with better results, are now my junior. With that, I leave in one of the most expensive estates in Nigeria. Bro, class of degree does not matter. Not every first class candidate is intelligent. If you are employed, you need to go the extra mile to convince your employer beyond their expectations. Prayer works too. So please, give it a shot. After all, their is no failure in trying. If you never tried, you are a failure. Go ahead 34 Likes 3 Shares |

If it's a company recruitment policy they won't consider you if you do not meet the minimum requirement Everything doesn't start and end with just getting a job. Your still young in the labour Market. You need experiences too. Go out there, feel what it takes to write aptitude tests. Feel what it takes to face a hostile panel. Be ready to be bashed. Those experience will prepare you for the real opportunities when they come. Dust your ass and head out now 5 Likes |

First of all, it says little of your integrity. lying to have your way could be a huge turn off for any prospective employer. However you can just show up for formality sake , perhaps luck might shine on you from another angle. 4 Likes |
