Why is it so hard for gurls to understand simple write up?

And it has to be gurls(all of them) and not some people

Samtobh:
Nice write-up OP.
Well, your assertion may not be so true about the class of degree discrimination.
I've applied to more than 500 jobs online with a CV always restructured, well-furnished and updated. Ye, no single invite.I've even veered off my field into some areas I consider can boost one's chances but dear, the same issue keep coming up.
To add up, I have a diploma in computer engineering, learnt HTML/JavaScript/CSS programming, HPLC/GC-MS/AAS analytical methods, and possess a first class degree.
Feb.14th will make it 2 years I did my POP,still in my parent's House.
So, my dear, God blessed you at the appointed time.

If all you said about your qualification is true then you are already a rich man in the making. Programming skills are some of the most sort after right now. I know Nigeria is a miss road country. You have two options. Based on your I.T skills you listed.Start an I.T company where you can offer web development and web design services in Nigeria. Second option try and get to the U.K or U.S. Hourly rate for a Web Developer on contract in London is between £21.80 - £28.80. That's N8,720 -N11,520 per hour!!!!!!!

Sijo01:
While in Nigeria, you did nothing to improve your cv so blame no employers for not reaching out to you.

Hello Sam.......If you are certain of your PHP and CSS skills, I have a full time job for your (65k PER MONTH). Your office will be at Ilupeju, Lagos. Pls message me ASAP.........destineguy94@gmail.com

E yaaaa. You need to continue applying to the oil companies but bear in mind that most of these companies are scared of the fact that with your first class you're likely to jilt them and go on scholarship for further studies. I'm even wondering sef ....what have you not applied for foreign scholarships like Chevening or DFID and even some foreign universities all who are looking for first class graduates to enroll. Don't give up tho.

I graduated with the least of grades "PASS" from one of the federal universities, not because i was a numskull but because i did not join the band wagon of the "sorters". More so i was financially inept which resulted in missing some exams, but after 4 years the war was over. With my kind of grade the future was deem for me with no hope. I took some computer programming courses to add to my CV i thought it would be of help. Alas four years on no single interview, i was roaming the streets without hope

God finally answered my call and i travel to the united states for greener pastures, i enrolled for a six months IT course and after completion i received my first phone interview from one of the telecom company and later on skype interview. after three days i was called for a one on one interview at their corporate office. It was straight forward with three interviewers, they asked about my skills and what i could do , which i told them with great confidence. A system was brought in and i was asked to configure bla bla bla which i did. To my amazement none asked a question pertaining my degree what they where hammering on was on the job.

After completion i was given the job instantly to resume the following Monday with a well furnished office and a very good pay. Right Now i am the manager of my team of which i developed a standard software for the company that remains number one.

My point is why is Nigeria hell bent on class of degree rather what the individual has to offer.There are lots of talented 3rd class and pass job seekers out there if given a chance will perform far better. I think this is also one of the bane that is making the Nigerian economy a far cry, it hurts seeing the lower class graduates not given a chance. I weep for Nigeria. I recently sent my resume to one of the Nigerian job boards just to test if i will be contacted but no call as usual maybe because of my lower degree . Nigeria has a very long way to go, even the oyibos that taught us the system isn't even using it its just so annoying.

For all those with a lower degree believe in yourself, a paper should not define your worth but rather look inward and surely you will conquer.

Pardon my English and thanks for reading

There's no genuine education happening any place in Africa, cause the colonial brainwashing model of education we inherited from Britain and France is not education in the true sense of the word. People are taught how to cram to pass exam, how to speak English or French. The British, France, Spain, Portugal, e.t.c weren't interested in Education in Africa, they were more concerned in teaching their languages in African schools which is why they made English language and French a core part of our school curriculum Africa-wide. They needed to do this so they can communicate us fluently to enhance exploitation. But, this is not education!.

Don't worry, the real education is the one you possess which you can use to solve problems. The education you possess now is exactly what we need to develop in Africa. Paper qualification is still revered in Africa more than real education, because as you noticed our foolish elites and ministries of education remain dumb to realize that whiteman himself doesn't have value for the model of education they left us during colonialism.

All these were explained in details on the link on my signature. Find time to read the part 1 and 2, and you'll understand why we're where we're today.

God is good

These researches taught me ............
• Effect of Salinity and Temperature on the Lubricity Properties and Sand-Oil-Water Concentration of Diesel, Jatropha and Castor Oil-Based Drilling Muds, 2012 {Final Year BSc Research Project} (Project was experimented for 6 months at the Mud Engineering Laboratory of Covenant University, Ogun State)
. Worked as a co-researcher in a study of the Effects of Drilling Cuttings Discharge on Groundwater in the Niger Delta Region, using selected rivers at Warri, Delta State as case studies. Samples were analyzed using industrial methods such as AAS and GC-MS.
• Worked as a co-researcher in a study centered on Preliminary Investigation Of Bisphenol A (BPA) In Industrial Wastes, using Mecure Pharmaceutical Industry, Oshodi, Lagos as a case study. The use of diverse analytical techniques such as Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) or Solvent Extraction for sample preparation, and HPLC and GC-MS for identification and quantification, all for the determination of traces of BPA in the industrial wastewater effluents collected, were employed.

I couldn't agree more with you sir, the system is in shambles to say the least, all what we do is la cram la pour and that's it just to have a good grade. All what we think is going to school and get a job and sometimes i wonder who create the few jobs out there. Right now the government is not interested in the educational system, rather embezzling is the order of the day. We can keep going on and on but without practical step nothing can be achieved.

Yes sure sir.

God will see you through but NEVER give up dear.

Samtobh:

My sister, thanks for your reply.
Applied for chevening already, and some others too(FSB BEA, UNIVERSITY OF HULL, AFRICA KOMMIT,, etc), waiting for favorable replies.

chynergy1:


it was a hard decision my dear.
tried every means to avoid it. i had to leave the last day before my visa expired
almost all my guy did not return, married oyibo babes rather.

i am better now but not without a hard fight.

Thank God for u o..may God continue to bless our hustles...

Good for you, i must confess few persons have it this way as the state of Nigeria too doesn't help. Still those who are really good often have it rosy as regards to those i know anyway.


Despite that i do believe in giving whatever you have got your best while in school and out of school. First things first, been employable should be the first criteria. Its not just about saying you seek grace, favour e.t.c like job seekers chant these days.

The reason you finished with a pass is not because you refused to sort, it's because of you refused to sit down attend classes and read.

We are not talking of 2.2 or 2.1 here, you got a pass man...which is the worst available..

*Just to correct that assertion.

But come who cares?

We always want to prove "I sabi pass". Who cares about what he did or did not do? Bad belle

beht chairman you go school now bag no economics teacher for your school? demand, supply...... how many invigilator all these mushrooms Nigerian companies go pay to organise test and interview for una 3rd class and six month course graduates

SaiBuharii:



If you posess a first class degree from a reputable University and you can't get a single test invite. I think you gave a problem u have to identify.

I got 11 offers with good pays in 6mths after pop, no connection, no exceptional grade. Just being updated and smart.

Samtobh is a disappointment. if you get a first class without any interview invite, then u need spiritual healing.

many first class out there are so dull but only smart when it comes to read, cram and pass with As.

Work/Job is beyond read to pass, it is about application of what you learnt in school and beyond school in solving organisational problems.

First class ma black butt.

so many folks do not know the essence of the strength in their hands.

Go for Ur masters and get matured.
