So to you, it's a stupid and worthless certification because of the time spent preparing for it....

Obsessed over by wannabe investment bankers and underachieving people looking for a boost..

It doesnt help you enhance your knowledge significantly in any specific area..The syllabus is spread too thin for any real value to be delivered.


And the way you say the above with all boldness is even more shocking.


So because someone you know did not get promoted according to you because "she is spending excessive time preparing for CFA as opposed to "facing her work" " ; the certification is useless?


You dont know what you are saying
That's all I'll tell you

DexterousOne:
Did you just call the CFA a "stupid qualification"?
Boy; how old are you

What you fail to understand is that the fact your husband keeps making enough money might be as a result of the Goodwill he has with his family..most times we don't understand what we don't know..do not try to make him stop helping his family but rather help him tone it down in order to save...that money might stop coming in the moment he stops helping his family.

If you cannot pay attention to details, I wonder how you handle your tasks at work.

I stated the basic requirement and explained how competitive Graduate Trainee positions are in IOC . Finally, I mentioned that if can do better than guys with higher qualification and intimidating skills and certification in the job assessment, then you can be picked.
However, Recruiters care if you have M.SC, you will soon find out as you progress in your career. In some multinationals, you cannot even apply if you don't have an M.SC.
Example: You are the HR Director of Chevron and the candidates below are presented to you, who will you give the job, every other thing being equal.

1. Candidate A: B.SC Industrial Chemistry (2.1) ., M.SC Petroleum Chemistry (Distinction)., Age: 25 years., Final Score: 75%

2. Candidate B: B.SC Industrial Chemistry (2.1)., Age: 25 years., Final Score: 75%

Grace and favour of God is very important but washing down the importance of higher qualification is not right. The issue is not the paper called certificate but the knowledge and skills gained. Right now, I intend getting my PhD because there are many ways I can apply the knowledge I will gain to solve organizational and societal problems. It is not just about acquiring degrees.

Polchiz:
When was your GM employed?
When were you employed and for which position?
We are talking about what is obtainable today.
You can be employed in Shell with SSCE but the question is which position?
I am referring to Shell Graduate Trainee recruitment. The basic requirement is B. SC 2:1. However, be rest assured that you will be competing with guys who have intimidating skill and qualifications.
If you can do better than them, congratulations.

Polchiz:
International Oil Company is not for jokers.
Shell may likely employ only 6 people worldwide and you may likely be competing with foreign graduates some of them even have PhD at a young age of 25 years with brain-cracking skills and certifications.
I know a young man that completed a degree in Engineering at 19 years and obtained a Masters degree at 21 years, all in the UK. You will be competing with people like this in IOC.

Polchiz:
Where I work now, you can't even apply if you don't have a B. SC 2:1 + M. SC in some selected fields.

Polchiz:
Which lies?

Polchiz:
Please go for your M.SC (not professional masters) if you have the means. Most multinationals and banks recently (I know of Ecobank) now includes M.SC. as requirements for even Trainee positions.
It equally prepares you for opportunities in Academia and international NGOs.
Most importantly, don't go for Masters degree for the purpose of getting a job only but do it with the best of your abilities and learn new skills and ideas in your field.
If you can come up with a ground-breaking research in your field, that alone can take you places.
Yes, in Nigeria you can succeed without connections if you know what you are doing.

Please go and seat down, that book exposed a lot about IMF and the west.

I see 4G+ plus on your signal bar. I guess Airtel has deployed another LTE band along side its band 3(1800), probably LTE band 8(900).

Where is your location?
