You can as well pay for JOB online tests since your alma mater Unilag does such... Guy every organisation has a specified set of employees in mind before recruiting. The HR and the ICT depts have got budgets too so if they state out what they want, so be it, by the way last I checked there were cut off points for post utme in the universities. The online thingy involves some finance

I bet the online stuff will save more cost than having to do tests in a hard copy and looking for personnels to score them.. do ur research

The employers have got no orientation MR. It may be that the best performers have been 2 1 and 1 1 grads. It may be that from experience these class of grads have shown more motivation. Like I said, each company to its own. I have written tests in multinationals where 2 2 grads were also. It is no discrimination , it's about HR experience and policies.

so what is discrimination to you if its not discrimination

majekdom2:
that's why I said, one should garner skills that puts one ahead in the game. I don't see any discrimination. It's the employers business, they know what they want and go for what's best for them. It is left to the so called " discriminated " to prove to them they are perhaps wrong and not just feel discriminated.

am not saying u shouldn't gather skills.. even a first class graduate should gather skills.. we are giving reasons why the orientation of employers may be wrong, they may think what they are doing is right but it doesn't make it the best option. . So the focus is on the employers orientation now and not the discriminated

Dubemkelly:
Have u ever considered the resources involved in getting those tests conducted? Nigeria is still upcoming in technology, then who's gonna get the job would so get it, some courses for PG in most universities have got criteria. Bottomline: If one doesn't meet up with a particular job requirements, no point whiling away your time, move to the next option as at when available

the HR dept can deal with whatever resource needed.. What Technology does a mere online test need that u are saying Nigeria is upcoming? Something My alma mater (Unilag) do CBT every year for post utme and also some courses in the school uses CBT.. so whats the biggie..? Of course Nigeria is coming up in technology but we are not so low that we cant perform a mere CBT.. like I said, it can be done in streams.

Your bottom line is not consistent with my post, my point has been that there is no need discriminating against some set of graduates..thats all

majekdom2:
like I said, I see no discrimination. Life is never fair. No one remembers the runner up. Work hard to get the prize. There are skills that can be gotten that could put one ahead of the 2 1 candidates.

and what if u are unfortunate not to get the prize, would u like to be discriminated?

mrcarter:
Funny seeing 2:2 in this your long essay, only if u know how difficult it's to graduate with 2:2 in some department

seriously. . I know someone very very intelligent in physics dept that finished with 2:2 . I can't imagine what an emoloyer would lose discriminating against him because of his grade.. sometimes its just condition.. not like the person that finished with third class isnt good

majekdom2:
will I call this paradox or what now. You can't tell me you want something without putting effort to get it. I ll take it as this class of people are living in delusion. There is a difference between wish and want. Now it is a "tougher discrimination ", some companies check the CGPA even as it is a 2 1.

what exactly is the purpose of ur reply to my post earlier.. are u saying the 2:2 and third classes should be discriminated as against what the OP is saying?

phyllosilicate:
you have also spoken well, but online test alone for 2.1 and above puts a lot of pressure on the company server. Thousands of such graduates take the test and in most cases the server starts misbehaving and applicants find it difficult to log in, complete the test and summit. If you add 2.2 and 3rd class the server might crash.

Also you should know most company don't have the capacity to conduct online test, they are usually out sourced to recruitment firm. So if they add 2.2 and 3rd class, they would pay the recruitment firm much more money to conduct test for multitude.

a friend of mine did a test recently in Birmingham, England.. it was scheduled for a week, he did his in the third day, there were lots of applicants. If as a huge organisation, you cannot get a stable server for less than 100,000 people, at least make the online tests in batches.. I wonder what you will say about the millions of people that log into Facebook and twitter every minute.

majekdom2:
not everyone wants to make good grades, if everyone wants to, you will not have cultist and runs babes all around campus. The deligent shall bear rule, shall stand before kings no matter the class of grade. He would still find a way.

Oga even the cultists want to make good grades.. Human beings want the best for themselves, although some don't work towards it.. its amazing how u drifted from the point of my post tho

Dubemkelly:
My Opinion: I don't think there's a discrimination on degree grades by some employers, just that they are only trying to manage and control the number of applicants for some jobs in that 2.2 has the highest no of persons with such grade but with 2.1 or first class, they would end up shortlisting and controlling the application. My major concern is the age thing but then afffidavit does the magic

this is not an excuse.. technology has made things easy.. u can easily prepare an online test for thousands of people and get the result after few minutes.. so forget the number of applicants being an issue.. there is discrimination, they assume the first class are better than 2:1, 2:1 are better than 2:2, 2:2 are better than 3rd class.. which is not always the case.. a lot of factors can lead u to make a low grade while in school and it doesn't determine your intellectual standard

Bluetooth2:
I don't know why someone will make a write up to encourage people to graduate with 3rd class, so unfortunate.

you really have a third class brain if you cannot conprehend his simple post.

Pavore9:
Make effort to graduate with good grades so that the stress would be less in the Labour market.

u are saying a different thing from what the OP is intending. . Obviously everyone wants to make good grades but everyone cannot make good grades, should we now discriminate against them? Of course not.. thats the OP's point

CountDracula:
Eeya

what has Eeya got to do with this again

If I were an employer.. I would give everyone an equal chance.. An online test on the company website is a good way to cut down the numbers for those that will make the interview. This is better than giving only a few the chance....Good points OP

Gboliwe:

PDPwayoo:
I love the pastor. Good for the blind follow follow congregation... but why is it that women usually have more population in every church?

they are more easy to deceive and lure.. they fall for things too much, sweet mouth, money, lies.. etc

And so? Why are the arresting him? Are the ladies not adults? Did he rape them? This will serve as a lesson to gullible followers and those that take pastors are God

What can be hard there when we play violent games like gta,gangsters,call of duty,modern combat series etc,what will one learn from this one that he hasn't learnt before

I agree but am looking at it security wise. It resembles a real gun well which can pose security threats

LordReed:
The reports I read from actual owners of this Delta Six controller are not impressive to say the least. One even said he would not recommend it.

really?

cao:
Cool, but knowing Yanky, somebody is going to get killed because of this...

obviously but I learnt it will at least be allowed in authorized game centres

Someone suggested I check on YouTube about Delta 6 and truly I was amazed about what I saw.. I think this is a nice innovation but may not be allowed in certain countries for security reasons. Also i believe it may breed at least an atom of violence. What do y'all think?

Someone should search 'Delta six' on youtube and be amazed ..

Taking fps to the next level ..

its a nice innovation but I think it will be banned by so many governments in different countries for security reasons
