Career / Re: 3rd Class Degree Holders& Banking Career by POLOMAMANI: 3:17pm On Jan 31, 2008
Hello Pally,

in reply to your earlier post about your 3rd class degree, i feel your grade should not be a deterrant to what you have set out to be in life. Speaking from experience, i graduated with a 3rd class degree, not because i was dull in school, but due to some circumstances, which were beyond me at that point (which i would not want to discuss). I went ahead to work for one of the big 4 accounting firms, then later a bank . Right now , I am a Financial Advisor and the Irony of it all was that, after my first employment, my grade was not an issue anymore, in fact, at one interview i once attended, the panel were so impressed with my performance that , i was never asked for my grade. Here are a few tips for getting into employment, if   you find yourself with a 3rd class degree.

a)When preparing your resume, do not indicate your class of degree, JUST put BSc Hons.
b)Always prepare well for any aptitude test you are invited to and make sure you make the first 10 top marks in the test.
c)Never be afraid to start with any job, so far as you are getting some relevant experience. For many years, I had to put    experience before pay, now , the rest is history.
d) Always try and develop as many transferrable skills as possible, it could be in IT, Sales or Customer Service and clearly emphasise this in your resume. Also get a professional certification.
e) Finally, put everything before God, cos He is the only one that can turn the impossible to possible.

The list of 3rd class degree holders is inexhaustible and I cant list them here. I had a friend, who graduated and served (NYSC) with me some years back. Apparently, we had the same problem and 6 years after graduation, he's a top staff for one of the top  3 telecoms firms in Nigeria, but based outside Nigeria.

I wish you all the best in your search

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: British Council Is Recruiting Again! by POLOMAMANI: 2:20pm On Jun 24, 2006
Hey Guys, be careful when applying for the british council jobs. Make sure u read all instructions carefully and do as you are told. Basically the main test is in the application. If u make it thru the application stage, the 80% of the job is done. The rest is just to prove urself at the interview stage.
