ok

Even after struggling to get a brilliant result from school they still discriminate on the basis of 'overqualification'. It shall not be well with some employers.

Na wa ooo, first class looking for a job and was turned down because of his class of degree, upsidedown country. May God help you

Let's put this to test. Would you like to work as a driver 30k per month?

A 1st class graduate unemployed

Which kin company is this?.. Maybe this is good coz god will give you a bigger job.. Just keep on praying bro

That available space has been allocated to someone else from a political or rich background who probably stays at home all day with his pass certificate without searching for the job...

Dey there make pant dey wear you.

thanks. join me in prayers too. I appreciate.

This country!!!

You will almost run mad just to graduate from tertiary institutions in Nigeria.. not to talk of graduating with good grades..

After graduation..

Time to get a job.. then you hear some people giving you advice that you better tender your secondary school cert if not they won't give you the job.. so why did you go for a degree if that is the case??

You can never understand how broken this country is..

No Sir. the role was given to the person who actually interviewed for a lesser role. I was denied basically because of my class of Degree and how well I did too.. giving the impression of me being overqualified.

Not surprised though. This is Nigeria

Me i graduated as a nd holder and dropout from n.c.e

luemz:


For now I am not done with my driving lessons. And I think no graduate would "like" to work as a driver for 30k per month. Basically just for survival purpose.

SO, you just spoke for the company.


Thanks for your time buddy

The MD of the company is probably and HND Holder or a 3rd class BSC Holder hence their decision to respectfully deny employing you.

I'll advise you to pick up an Msc form in your alma mater. Once you're done you can apply for a lecturing job there.

Good luck.

this Nigeria that anything is possible...I remember an artist dt said "getting a big ass is more profitable that getting a b.s.c"....not surprised

Welcome to Nigeria

They will look at you, tell you that "your certificate is too heavy", Nigeria needs to travel..

There was a time i was sent a message of that kind before. I was surprised because i only submitted my CV i wasn't yet interviewed.

Good Evening Esteemed Nairalanders,
I know this platform has been of great help to many of its users and I hope to get some help here. please spare few minutes of your precious time to read my story. thanks.
Advice, Referral, Insights are all welcomed.
An outsourcing agent of a company here in Ogun state was doing recruitment and I got a call from one of the persons I had shared with that I am looking for a job.
He called me to submit my CV. I did and few days later, I was invited for an interview at the company. From the invitation, it was scheduled to start by 8:00 am.
In my usual nature of keeping to time, I was already at the company by 7:33 am. Before 8:30 am, I and some other persons that came had been inducted (safety precautions and all that). We were directed to the reception where we waited for over 5Hours (Yes!) With intermittent “sorry for the delay, we’d start soon”.
Long story short, the interview started at about 2:56 pm, and when it was my turn, I went in. It was actually a warm and good interview session. After the interview, I was quite confident of getting the offer to be honest. In fact the Quality Control manager right there confessed she’d love to work with me.
It was quite unfortunate that 10 days later, I got a call from one of the persons on the interview panel. He told me he’s Sorry, and that I had done really well in the interview coupled with my class of Degree, they won’t be giving me the job because I am “overqualified” for the job.
Really? Overqualified? Please I just want to learn, work, and earn!. The last time I felt this depressed, and devastated was probably when I lost my dad. With encouragement from close friends (Some teased me and said "wahala for who get First class oh" ...lol) and family, I am back and ready to face the challenges.
So please, I am out here in need of a job that would first, stimulate and give me opportunity for growth while I use my skills and knowledge to add value to the company. I hold a B. Sc. Microbiology and I have experience working as a quality control/ safety personnel in a FMCG company. I’m also opened to internship opportunities in an ever changing and dynamic environment. I also have experience working in the NGO sector. Please any one with links or that can recommend me for a job would be highly appreciated.
P.S: I’m available to travel with preferred location as Ogun, Rivers, Lagos, Calabar, Akwa Ibom etc. In this order.

If that company had employed you I can guarantee that after 6 months you would have opened another thread here to complain that you are being underpaid by your employer!

Good luck in your search for a better paying job
