Don't be discouraged my dear, this country don't encourage us to further work were our discipline lies. Just pray for the incoming government to work on ajaokuta steel company and the rest,. It is well my sister.

Discouraged? Hw I wish I studied met&mat. The most lucrative n less competitive profession in Nigeria. Well I guess u had a poor grade or something

Ur grade & d school u graduated from?

U can work as a Mechanical Engr. now... If u offered Thermodynamics, Vibration, Fluid Mechanics, Machine Design, Machine Drawing and Mathematics...Coupled with ur Mettalurgy and Materials.. I believe u can Pose as Mech.Engr.

Ur grade & d school u graduated from?

Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria. I Graduated with a 2.2

You may classify 2.2 as a poor grade but I know in my department it is NEVER considered as poor grade... Besides My set "U07" only 2 people graduated with 2.1 and there wasn't first class. I don't consider myself dull....

u didnt include theory of machines.

Do apply as a Mech eng in as many firms as possible, even hard copy unsolicited request

dey wont understand, esp. If d person studied a non-science course. D proof of d pudding is in d eating.
In my sch, at a particular set, a guy dat had a GP of 4.30 in a particular engrg course was giving d best (graduating) student ahead of ppl dat made 1st class in oda engrg courses because no 1 had had such a GP in dat Engrg course while students hav been makin 1st class in oda Engrg courses for many yrs.

with 2;2 I think it will be hard for you to fit in: all the same God dey

mat and met engineers; remain one of the most sort after engineers.

Go to port harcourt and see them colonizing the oil city.

dont worry urself much, u will get a job. it might not be in Engineering industry, what if u enter one fed agency. relax and go thru the job search. As someone here said.... Destiny....

@ bbeautylik
Keep on applying, and spread your tentacles to other fields. 2-2 is not a bad grade.... Only that 2-1 and first class graduates get more opportunities to be invited for tests.

Build your soft skills, get good professional certification if you can afford, while you wait. Practise GMAT, SHL and the likes. Do things that make you happy.

You will conquer.

Peace

dats nt true, i did dat as a separate course in my sch in those days n i also use d textbook.

Indeed when you graduate from any department of engineenring faculty in ABU with a 2.2, u can never consider urself dull. Damn faculty always try to deter its student. Kip up hope alive sister. It is well. All u need now is lots of soft skills

Met n Mat is equivalent to mechanical na? Are u waiting for jobs where Met n Mat is expressly stated before u apply? Please,wherever u see mechanical,u apply jaree. I read chemical but I apply for jobs that exclusively state only mechanical. Apart frm Civil Engineering dat is quite different,every other engineering is considered same esp in the oil n gas sector. Being a lady even gives u a slight edge cos coys will like to see at least one lady in their engineering setup. On the 2.2 grade,dnt be discouraged,just take the grade off ur cv so as to get invited for tests,(just leave it as 2nd class honours). Scale the first stage n interview and u have a job,TRUST ME. Companies only put 2.one to reduce population of applicants to what they can handle. Pass their interview and u will be picked over a first class graduate. Trust me on this. On the other hand,try doing ur Masters(esp overseas) thru scholarship(PTDF or NDDC) and the very big coys will overlook your 2.2. Dnt get discouraged. Hustlers with 2.2 are up there earning d big cheques while dull first classers are still at home yrs after NYSC waiting for jobs to come meet them simply because they have first class. Its all about ur hustle.

What course did u studied? and did u offered Machine Design as a course??

yes, theory of machine n machine design were separate courses, i studied mech engr'g.

Met/Mat Engrg is the mother of engineering and am so proud to have my ist degree in it. It is one of the most difficult courses in nigerian universities. Having 2.2 in it and from ABU is a good grade. I did my Nysc in ABU in met mat departmt so I know what am saying. For the person that open dis trend send ur CV to my email. I will talk to some senior colleagues in the field about You. t.chieke@jmglimited.com

Awesome write up except for the PTDF or NDDC part, you need a minimum of 2'1 to even get a shot at these scholarships. Even at the scholarship interviews, a 2'1 will explicitly need to perform outstandingly before he or she can stand a chance. First class guys are always preferred except there is a 2'1 who stood out.

Hahahahaha Teeema how u dey na. You lamented about your 2.2 depriving you of jobs. Do u know that most of those U07 that graduated with first class are still jobless? Just 12percent of the entire U07 2.1 are working? Infact Babaye had 2.2 but he works with the federal ministry of mining and steel right now. I know of about 3 mechanical guys working with Ajaokuta steel company limited and they all got 2.2.
2.2 is a low grade agreed, but it won't hinder your progress.
I will advice you to build more on your career, make yourself more employable by acquiring other relevant skills. I do more of mechanical and electrical work in my current place of work despite the fact that I'm a metallurgical engineer.
Finally, since the incoming administration promised to focus on mining, I will advise you to send your CV to Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited and National Iron Ore Mining Company Itakpe, I heard they're accepting CV. Good luck and don't loose hope.

NDDC takes 2.2.,don't know much abt PTDF.

I never said 2.2 was depriving from getting a job..... Besides who had a first class in metallurgical?...... And you sounds so familiar who are you please?

I feel that is at advert alone,....., have you seen or heard of a 2'2 who got NDDC scholarship since they started the program?

I have not.
