We received an email this morning from someone
who according to the information he provided,
claimed to be a final year student of the Federal
Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri Imo state.
The mail was supposed to be an application letter for
a job in Myschool Limited.
Below is the exact copy of the letter. However, the
phone number, email and name of the sender have
been excluded to protect his identity.
"Subject:
Requestion for a postion

It is not as if we all must be gurus in the use of
English language. Some mistakes are
understandable.
However, the poor punctuations, spellings and gross
grammatical errors that characterized the content of
the mail above especially when juxtaposed with the
fact that this is coming from a final year student;
someone who will soon be a certified graduate is
really worrisome and makes you wonder who is to be
blamed - the student or his supposed teachers/
lecturers or the country?
Mind you, the reason we published this is not to
condemn the sender or present him in a bad light.
But to let others learn from it. A letter like this will
out rightly get you disqualified for any job. Unless
otherwise, the use of English language is not a
criterion.

Ta! Dats a blatant excuse and lie!

U can't tell me dat a person who can't compose a 'simple grammatical expression' is good academically.

How does he/she intend to solve word problems in Maths or physics

Lalasticlala

But if its a web design/developing job the guy deserves some reasons for doubt

my 2 cents (M2C)

That's what typing in shorthands can cause....

I've actually seen someone lyk dat b4, I asked the person to solve a physics question for me, I noticed he can't even read the question well but honestly the guy knws wat he's to do, he broke down the question and explained it to me in detail using yoruba.

we d entire citizen of Akwa ibom rejects this one

Just listen to urself

I don't doubt that letter because I've seen far worse cases than that. There are some graduates you read stuffs they wrote and you are shocked at how they can't even punctuate and spell simple words properly. The system is to be blamed.

Just like what the person above me said,our school dis days are not good, if he no didnt get the job, he will start complain that naija is not good,haba! Kai we shd pls no what we do in school, i no dat our country, is not too good to learn fine fine, but please learn the one u can learn and know it very well.....thanks

I'm a final year student of fedpolynek. Dept of bank/fin precisely.
