FutureFocus:
Your class of degree does not determine your success in life, be creative and push hard

Everyone I know who got a 3rd class are over achievers today., probably more than us who made First class or 2:1

Reason is because they feel they have to prove themselves and they work 10 times harder than anyone to make their point and in doing so, they over achieve than the rest … so instead of feeling bad, take it as a challenge- seek revenge by being successful- God bless you!

Third class and dropouts - are the richest people on earth. Many world billionaires dropped out of school.

So keep on trying and set your goal very high - you'll eventually succeed.

That reminds of an interview I had in the internal control department of Zenith Bank about 2005.

I was asked why I had come out with a 2.2 in accounting since I already was a chartered accountant before my degree.

He said I was expected as a CA to have nothing less than a 2.1.
I told the interviewer it was a part-time degree and I was so busy at work I couldnt complete any test or assignment, basically, I didn't take the degree seriously as I had a very good job before finishing my degree.

I just smiled, stood up walked away from the interview.

Kindly apply for a PGD course at the Open University, it's less than 100k and runs for just a year. It'll upgrade your University grade and you can also go for your MSc afterwards.
Best regards.

There’s a new Apple Store situated around ikeja, they strictly deals on Apple products only and they needed an accountant, the salary is quite good… so a good friend of mine sent me a link that I should apply for the job since I have Bsc in accounting, then I applied.

Yesterday I received an Email from the Apple Store stating that I wasn’t up to the criteria due to my class of degree. I felt disappointed but life goes on.

I just screenshot the mail and send it to my friend and he said he wasn’t aware that there was a specific class of degree ( minimum of 2:2) to apply for the job.
He cheers me up and told me better days ahead.

Though I’ve a job currently but the Apple Store is willing to pay x 2 of my current salary.
I won’t lie I felt so devastated.

Keep grinding, I graduated with a third class too but I was able to work with major EPC (Oil servicing firms) in Nigeria. Just keep gathering experience and try and get certifications in your profession. Don't be discouraged.

Sweet heart Don’t judge the book by its cover.
Not everyone who graduated with a third class are dull or unserious when in school.
Life happens to anyone academically, financially, health wise, businesses and so on.
I went to a state university and I paid my tuition fees ALL by myself, I had little time to attend lectures and study my books being a commercial bike rider and laundry service provider just to pay my bills back then. It wasn’t an easy ride for me.
I don’t blame anybody, I take responsibility for my actions.
I still Thank God I’m not where I used to be.

Which other feedback does the recruiter need to give again?

You have told someone he wasn’t considered because he had a 3rd class; you are still saying you can’t provide feedback.

Poor HR’s (personnel) way of writing. Copycat

If the HR was general and didn’t disclose the reason for not shortlisting the candidate, that’s when wordings like:… we can’t give (individual) feedback…

Anyway, it’s just gadgets shop but not a proper company - only using Apple’s brand name.

You guys can say all you want to make you feel good but the truth remains that there's no reason a student should come out of the university with a third class degree if not for unseriousness.

Well,if your case was such that you were given a course you never prepared for in the first place, in addition to that, you had little financial support in school, you will not say this.

I had a room mate in my final year back then in school. He applied for medicine in Jamb but he was given wildlife to study. He had decided to continue with the curse since he could not afford to re-write jamb.
As at the time we met, he had splilled over twice in final year. We all felt what the guy was going through and had encouraged him.
so when he finally graduated with a third class infact we were so happy for him that atleast he graduated.
Today, this guy is doing very well.

U can’t get a good job if i can’t speak these countries language fluently.

It's exposed not expose as used in your sentence.
Besides, you clearly are the person who's not exposed here. You clearly agreed with me thinking you are countering me.
Like you mentioned, you can't work in any of those counties if you don't speak their (official) language.
English is Nigeria's official language and until that changes, speaking and writing well would continue to inform employers' hiring decisions.

It's good that you felt bad about it.
But it's better that you turn this to a challenge for yourself. 3rd class will always limit you in the employment/labour market.

There are options if you see disappointments as blessings in disguise;
1. Take your time to get professional certifications and become an expert in your choice field. For accounting, I'll suggest ICAN, ACCA, etc. Learn the requisite softwares too.
2. If you still have some age on your side, you can go back to school and study a course you're passionate about. You'll be motivated to succeed in any course you're passionate about, Intentionally build relationships too.
3. You can become self employed- go into business if you have the funds, or learn a skill set (online or apprehenticeship). Become an expert in what you do and with time, clients will be recommending you.

With God on your side, in a few years, so much can happen for the better. God bless you.
