Hey, Never give up, What makes a man is not, not falling, but ability to rise again after each fall. It may appear difficult, but with persevearance, u will get there.
However, while u are trying to get something doing for urself, u can try seeing if u can manage to get a PGD to elevate ur chances, Like someone earlier said, there are great pple today that finished with such results but didnt allow it to weigh them down.
Be Confident and have faith, that is what pleases God, and u will make it. If Women that are certified barren by Doctors because they damaged their wombs or even completely had their wombs removed, can end up giving birth to babies, why not! U will make it, Be Strong!
All the best!

Hello Pally,

in reply to your earlier post about your 3rd class degree, i feel your grade should not be a deterrant to what you have set out to be in life. Speaking from experience, i graduated with a 3rd class degree, not because i was dull in school, but due to some circumstances, which were beyond me at that point (which i would not want to discuss). I went ahead to work for one of the big 4 accounting firms, then later a bank . Right now , I am a Financial Advisor and the Irony of it all was that, after my first employment, my grade was not an issue anymore, in fact, at one interview i once attended, the panel were so impressed with my performance that , i was never asked for my grade. Here are a few tips for getting into employment, if   you find yourself with a 3rd class degree.

a)When preparing your resume, do not indicate your class of degree, JUST put BSc Hons.
b)Always prepare well for any aptitude test you are invited to and make sure you make the first 10 top marks in the test.
c)Never be afraid to start with any job, so far as you are getting some relevant experience. For many years, I had to put    experience before pay, now , the rest is history.
d) Always try and develop as many transferrable skills as possible, it could be in IT, Sales or Customer Service and clearly emphasise this in your resume. Also get a professional certification.
e) Finally, put everything before God, cos He is the only one that can turn the impossible to possible.

The list of 3rd class degree holders is inexhaustible and I cant list them here. I had a friend, who graduated and served (NYSC) with me some years back. Apparently, we had the same problem and 6 years after graduation, he's a top staff for one of the top  3 telecoms firms in Nigeria, but based outside Nigeria.

I wish you all the best in your search
