BigBelleControl:
Most employers only look at your first degree and NYSC discharge certificate. But some ask for olevel especially when they need to verify age. In fact, I've experienced those that insist on primary school cert.

Having two sittings is okay but for the sake of unforeseen circumstances, you can go ahead and register for WAEC private January or December exam and have your result in one sitting.

WAEC with dates later than one's first degree admission date is usually NOT admissible for supporting related First degree based jobs. It'll look fishy.

You're right though, [Most] employers never look past one's first degree certificates.

But some do — most notably the Consulting & a few MNCs.

What he is supposed to be asking is,

" How can I start up a business from scratch"

Honestly if I knew my degree and my professional certifications won't be what I'll br feeding on, I would have just gave up on school after Secondary school.

@ bolded is the real deal now if he wants breakthrough in his finance.

Did you try to look for job ??, i believe some knowledge and exposure that you gained in college is invaluable to your current endeavor.

yungchop:
What's the use? Something wey you go still go open POS shop after NYSC.

Dear Op use this as a motivation n then come back to this thread after 2 years to come proof this fool wrong because he doesn’t work out for you doesn’t mean everyone will fail idiot

have you not heard a president use NEPA bill as result.
On a serious note, start investing into the digital world before you graduate, so you can even become an employer instead of carrying CVs looking for a job after graduating. Goodluck

him dey France now sef.

not like I didn't get jobs but I have a different ball game and a goal to achieve. 30k monthly won't get me to that stage.

Nomorelove:
In all sincerity, this thread is unnecessary

It is necessary. He must be combining his studies with worries of his O'level.

It's good he's getting the advise he solicited.

I could remember being in that same shoes some years back. I still finished with second class upper in Elect. Engineering but I believed if I had put this past me earlier just maybe, you never know.

OP bear in mind that this is Nigeria.
Set a target for yourself and work towards it. It's good you have a mentor in your field and clear your mind of worries.
Link up with people in the industry and utilise LinkedIn to connect with them.

I hope you're maximising your skill and using this IT to learn well. Sometimes the knowledge you gain from this IT might be your way maker.

Never be shy to ask questions. 'Person wey ask for Road no dey lost'.

Cheers to a great future.

Your entire lineage are fools.. In fact the idiot that claims to be your father is a good for nothing animal for not teaching you how to mind your business.. How can I be a fool because of my own opinion? May you run mad and die on the highway you bloody bastard.

Yo no well OP. Better go and learn an in-demand skill.

30k is miniscule.

But i know there are some jobs out there that pays decent salary although scarce but they exist and someone can use the resources accumulated from those gig as a launchpad to get to the final destination.

This is Nigeria where you need connection... Normal normal if Na degree and certificate and no legs, I should be sitting comfortably somewhere earning nothing less than 200k.

Anyway, I'm still gathering money to travel to an European country, I just got to know that I have been dulling myself in Nigeria. I was shocked to see how much HSE managers earn in Europe. I no mind to start with menial jobs first just ti gain the country's work permit before spreading my CV once in the country

how do I go about dat

francisgodstime:
how do I go about dat

Go and learn data analysis, programming, graphics, just get an IT skill. That's the way forward now.

Qualifications are good but to survive in 9ja, networking is bae.... that's connection

Beans never don, Oga don dey worry himself on whether or not the beans go sweet..

Haha

Judolisco:
Dis one funny Sha... I have 3 friends with first class that are currently searching for a job... U dey talk about SSCE ...

You are joking my friend

EjaikreTheViper:
Is that a problem?

You should be thinking of how to learn a good and handy skill that can fetch you money instead of bothering yourself with trivial issues. School na scam for this country
Las las na 30k job you go still go hustle for

God save us in this country

Yeah, you right almost nothing works in Nigeria.

Travelling to distant shores to seek a new life is good.

Almost every young folks i know wants to go to Europe or North America to seek a better life, infact some don't mind Asian countries/Middle east.

Why not use your neco result if it's okay
Don't they accept that one again?

Who puts granular details about O level on their CV

Simple WASSC >> ${school name} >> ${Year}

Besides, the main thing companies care about is your Undergraduate degree.

This Nairaland.
You put o-level in Cv? You never start. Who Dey look that shit?

Build skills because even the degree you go collect na Shit.

Most employers don't ask for your WAEC. Infact, except for banks & maybe some government agencies, after your first two jobs nobody is interested in what you graduated with. I have a second class lower (I don't write it in my cv) and only my first job, way back in 2013, asked me about it.

They might ask you to bring original copies of your documents (to submit to hr) AFTER you've gotten the job but as long as you have your BSc nobody cares about WAEC.

Just focus on getting a good grade

Ever since I entered the university and now in my 400L currently doing my 6 months I.T in preparation for my final year (500L) I haven't gone through my qualifications intently until this morning.

Here is a problem I discovered, I made my way to the university with a 2 sittings 2014 O'level certificates in WAEC and NECO because I made a D7 in English in WAEC which is a compulsory credit subject required for admission I had to use my NECO result where I made C5 in English to back it up for a 2 sittings result though I recall they ended up using only my NECO for the O'level certificate screening that time.

Now I am concerned if this might be a problem when I graduate and decide applying for a top job. My CGPA currently is quite impressive but right now I am afraid my O'level might not be good enough due to the D7 I made in English in WAEC.

Please I need good words of advice from the experienced ones amongst us here.
Thank you

Pls Don't allow your mind to play smart on you

For the fact that you were admitted with NECO makes you ha e a good result to go in for your BSc

If your WAEC doesn't have English, does it mean that your complete NECO is not recognised

You are good to go so far the university system accepts it

I once attend a interview. They asked about my olvee

fear fear

one go fear boko haram
one go the zoo security forces
one go fear village people
one go fear women/men
one go fear shadow
