Just imagine the way you reason! A 3rd class holder was chosen over a 2-1 and MSc graduate without any aptitude test and you don't see any problem with that!?

I weep for this jungle called Nigeria.

Hian, dont let my girlfriend that has been fighting me since see what you just wrote, how dare you call Nigeria a jungle, you must pay a fine of 5000 Dollars

My dear it is a shame. I graduated with a first class and have all the documents needed for this recruitment. To my greatest suprise my name did not come out too. In fact only 2 first class candidates where successful in my state out of over 70 shortlisted names. I weep for the country. This is a big time blow!!!

ibro360:
Then after reaching trump send you back.

Honestly, i envy those of you that have managed to leave this jungle called Nigeria.

I pray i don't birth my offspring in Nigeria. I just pray!

That is for you. In all the places I have worked and interviews i have done both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria, no one has ever asked about my grade. I have interviewed people and i don't care about their grades but how smart they are.

Also you need to know that who you know is very important in every country on this earth. You have a higher chance of getting a job at NASA, Google, Facebook if you know someone working there than just posting your CV.

To those still in school, there are two parts to schooling
1) Getting an education
2) Networking.

Do not forsake either of them as they are both very important.

All the best in your search OP.

The matter tire me.... I look the list like 3times as I no see my name,I shake head comot.... Just bcoz I don't know one politician or the other, it is well

Ababadada:
What are we going to expect for the interview. My name show a third class graduate no connection.

austinosita:


Don't you think you should be ashamed asking this kinda question?
They didn't call you for a written test, just an interview and you are still asking what you should expect!

May be you should ask your connection that got you listed

As in, my mouth was agape as I read that and one other comment u there, it is finished my brother.

SnowJay92:


You're missing the point entirely, the service commission could have shortlisted everyone irrespective of grade, and find out who's smarter using whatever criteria they deem fit, the question is why deny many people the chance of being interviewed at all? Moreso people who are more qualified, at least according to their academic achievement.

highrise07:
OK checked ur signature na u dey do DAT ni, i mean the beauty training stuff

AZeD1:

You are the one missing the point. If i have to recruit today for a general position, i'd probably get about 50k cv's for 20 available spots. I don't have the time to look at 50k cv's so you can bet that the people who would get shortlisted are those who submit to me personally(via connection) and the 1st number of X people i can get from the general pool.

I have worked in organisations that have a general jobs@company email and people are constantly sending cvs but when its time to recruit, nobody goes to that email, instead people use word of mouth to tell colleagues there's a vacancy to be filled.

For this job the OP is talking about, you can be best assured that the number of cvs submitted would be close to 500k, who the F*** is going to go through 500k cvs?

SnowJay92:
When I read some comments coming from youths in this country, supposed leaders of tomorrow on issues such as this, I shudder. How can someone brazenly justify a third class graduate being considered ahead of a First Class for whatever reason? OK, let's assume for one moment that we have unofficially decided that academic excellence is no longer to be used as a measure of intellectual and moral capacity, why not shortlist everyone that falls into the required field of study, from First Class down to pass and even below, and subject them all to whatever test you feel like is a better criteria for employment and see who comes top.

It's quite different, companies hire by referral and that's OK, it's their private business. But here we're talking about the federal civil service commission where every qualified Nigerian should be given an equal opportunity to jostle for the available positions, and please hiring someone simply because their dad knows someone who knows someone in the government is not referral, it's nepotism.
