Op, which IT course did you do in the US. Please answer

Samtobh:

Petrochemistry

. Why not study chemistry instead. If u ever wanted to study petroleum related course, petroleum engineering should hv been the best option.

Codyt:

But come who cares?

We always want to prove "I sabi pass". Who cares about what he did or did not do? Bad belle

It's not my fault u didn't finish with a good grade. Don't pour your frustration on me.

kroger:
I graduated with the least of grades "PASS" from one of the federal universities, not because i was a numskull but because i did not join the band wagon of the "sorters". More so i was financially inept which resulted in missing some exams, but after 4 years the war was over. With my kind of grade the future was deem for me with no hope. I took some computer programming courses to add to my CV i thought it would be of help. Alas four years on no single interview, i was roaming the streets without hope

God finally answered my call and i travel to the united states for greener pastures, i enrolled for a six months IT course and after completion i received my first phone interview from one of the telecom company and later on skype interview. after three days i was called for a one on one interview at their corporate office. It was straight forward with three interviewers, they asked about my skills and what i could do , which i told them with great confidence. A system was brought in and i was asked to configure bla bla bla which i did. To my amazement none asked a question pertaining my degree what they where hammering on was on the job.

After completion i was given the job instantly to resume the following Monday with a well furnished office and a very good pay. Right Now i am the manager of my team of which i developed a standard software for the company that remains number one.

My point is why is Nigeria hell bent on class of degree rather what the individual has to offer.There are lots of talented 3rd class and pass job seekers out there if given a chance will perform far better. I think this is also one of the bane that is making the Nigerian economy a far cry, it hurts seeing the lower class graduates not given a chance. I weep for Nigeria. I recently sent my resume to one of the Nigerian job boards just to test if i will be contacted but no call as usual maybe because of my lower degree . Nigeria has a very long way to go, even the oyibos that taught us the system isn't even using it its just so annoying.

For all those with a lower degree believe in yourself, a paper should not define your worth but rather look inward and surely you will conquer.

Pardon my English and thanks for reading

Absolute rubbish. You were lazy and refused to read your books and that is why you got a pass.

One thing you learn from a person who has a first class is that they are focused. They can set their mind to a task, work hard and achieve it. Anyone with a third class is one who could not follow a simple task through; go to school and read your book! Loads of students had it rough in school but still come out tops. In fact, I am yet to see a first class graduate from a very well-to-do family

The competition is tough and you should not make noise that you should be selected above others who have worked hard. I'm happy you realized how lazy you were and decided to get serious and PASS other courses you attended.

Samtobh:

Brother, thanks your opinion.
But referring to me as a disappointment, hmmm, ............thanks all the way.

ma bro I was pissed.
I had 2'2 because I was playful in Uni. it was in 300L I realised how much I f-up. Immediately after NYSC I got 4 job offers including being retained where I served as well as a foremost bank. All because I had a very Professional mouth and attitude.....

Imagine I have First class, I would have fly higher .... The next thing for me now is to change my class of degree cuz I am still young to allow it to hold me back for the rest of ma life.

I felt so pissed when a FC doesn't get job, instead of u to intimidate HR, you are now the one that is getting intimidated by them. How the mighty has fallen.

since you have Ur FC already, many opportunity lies out there for you when you are ready to grab them....

Contact Jarus(A Nairalander), he is a career manager, he can help u articulate your skills and make u ready for out there.

SaiBuharii:



It's not my fault u didn't finish with a good grade. Don't pour your frustration on me.

Good grade you say? Skills over good grade. *long hiss*

God is good

Samtobh:


Intimidate HR? I can't even remember how many months I've roamed the streets of Lagos and Ibadan.The HR you come in contact with is the one you can intimidate.Luck might have been on your side bro, its easier to crucify me as if I don't have the never-say-die spirit.Situations like this make it seem as if someone doesn't know anything at all.Sometimes, those HRs might even be scared of the class of degree, hence, they just strike out one's chances. I hope someday, luck shines on me and God favours me too.
I once attended an interview, the HR personnel interviewing me got ''intimidated'' and concluded I was too big for the job(even after I pretended I didn't know a lot of their stuff), another one said the firm can't pay someone like me, and so on and so forth

I understand u bro. I ain't crucifying u . I was just pissed. Prayer opens many doors of opportunity. As I posted earlier, contact Jarus for some mentorship also try and go for Ur masters degree, at all at all, many schools (University) are out there looking for u.

God save you.

You for be confirmed yahoo plus boy now and if maga no pay?

LesbianBoy:

Buy your own first with your bad grade.

I wanted to reply you but felt it's best to just let you be.

Akanbiedu:
OP,

There may be a point you are missing. Unlike in the USA, the jobs here are few.

Now put yourself in the shoes of recruiters, if you advertise for a position and you get applications from 10, 000, what would you do? Would you give all of them a chance to show what they can do?

Your class of degree is a problem but thats not all, it is more important for you to understand that the ratio of job-seekers to available jobs is a very big one.

May God bless you.

Brilliant post!

In the 21st century, some career paths
will be in demand more than others especially
in the IT field and nanotechnology for
instance. Yet some people still do not
realise that we have reached a full cycle
job-wise with the disruptive technologies
that are evolving as a result of renewable
energies and climate change.

Take charge!
