[quote author=HAH post=49306610]a lot of meticulous employers actually prefer people with weak degrees, because they will be humble and do their work diligently with faithfulness because the employee may not have another chance if they misbehave but people with first class and 2.1 will always have this feeling of arrogance that if I leave I can get another offer because am a 2.1 or sometimes they will abruptly leave to further studies thereby taking along the knowledge they gathered on the job with them and leaving the employer with the pain of looking for another trainee.


I am a living witness of what u just said nw.... Employer nid who will do d job well and not the certification

Shut up you there....!

You think you can refuse God His glory in this your demonic comment? Instead of you to appreciate how God has helped the young man, you instead prefer to ignore the God-factor in the testimony. Something will happen to you that you will be left with no one but God and maybe then, you would come back here to modify your comment. Mtchewww

Congratulations.. With God all things are possible...One of my bible best verse..

Congratulations. But why did it take about one year for this post to hit front page? All these moderators ehen!

indeed serving God is pay alot

I give this testimony to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil. At the end of my university education; through its ups and downs, bitter and sweet moments, I eventually graduated with a third-class degree in computer science. At that point in my life I was overly disappointed, highly discouraged and even suicidal on my bad days because I knew what was happening in the labour market. Every employer wanted graduates with second class upper and above for the limited and highly coveted employment slots. And here I was, I didn’t even have a 2.2, even if employers wanted to reach out in grace.

I had given my life to Christ on campus, and my thirst for God had intensified during this period. To the glory of God, even with my third-class degree, I did not sit at home as I got a job immediately, which is a whole miracle-story on its own. This job came with great exposure and an intense learning curve for me as a fresh graduate and I embraced the job even though the pay was not fantastic. Those of us who were taken by the company were put through a training programme to initiate us into Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing industry. Time went by and I emerged as one of the brightest trainees through the programme. We were soon staffed and placed on projects for multinational companies. After a while, some of my colleagues started filling out applications and searching for bigger opportunities. They would repeatedly forward job links and vacancies to me as I was considered one of the best among my peers. I did not apply for any of those positions as I was always self-defeated because of my third-class university certificate and the devil held it high up in my face all the time. I continued to do my job diligently and also develop myself in my field.

On Mother’s Day in May 2015, Pastor Nomthi preached about the unmerited grace and favour Moses witnessed in the house of Pharaoh, when there was an order to kill every male child of the Israelites. She said that Moses was not only spared but was raised as a prince. I immediately keyed into this lesson of grace and I was full of faith. I applied for a job someone had recommended me for and I was offered the position on the spot with 100 percent increase with good pension and sumptuous packages.

I thought I had seen all. Before the resumption date I was given, I was invited for another job interview with one of the telecom giants in Nigeria. Through the interview process I had to compete with the best of the best and even more experienced applicants. At the end of the interview and test process which lasted several weeks, I came out top as the preferred candidate of all. Now my problem became choosing between the two offers as they were both fantastic and had good prospects. I sought the face of the Lord who had made all these happen, and eventually I had to turn down the Multi-national Telecom Giant’s offer. Now I am at my new job and I have even been given opportunities to travel to different countries on projects (I had never travelled out of Nigeria before this job).

A month ago, another job offer came through with take-home package closing in on about half a million which I had to turn down after wide consultation and seeking the face of the Lord. I also did not apply for this job; all these opportunities came by recommendation. A third-class graduate now turning down job offers from multinational companies – it can only be God and I am here to give back ALL the praise to HIM alone.

Life is not by merit but by grace.

There is this 3rd class guy currently employing his 2nd class upper class mate at his construction site.

HAH:


My point is am an employer and am talking from experience, I have atleast 15 graduates working with me and lots of OND and SSCE holders, am not in anyway asking people to get lower grades, and honestly I know the Shakara one guy I employed with a 2.1 did to me and expecially his supervisor who has a lower grade than him, at the end we have to relieve him from the work.

Sir, you are correct.

Anyone who does nor understand what you wrote lacks experience..

Congrat ,May God do for us the way he did for u

ROCE:


Congrats but I think this topic would've suited the Religion section than this section because I ask myself, what do you really want people to pick out from this experience It just looks superficial and no career learning content in the post. Job seekers will only see hope in the story but nothing substantial they can use in even getting invites from multinationals.

Make friends/Associate/Build mentorship/Become disciples and loyalists to people who are doing well.

That is the only way to do well.

your certificate does not certify you but Gods favour certify you to any level you can think of, Depend on God and do your best and God will do the rest. Congrat

GLORY BE TO GOD, BRO.!
I TAP FROM THE FLOW.
MORE TESTIMONIES AHEAD.
HE'S ABLE!
