Only a visionless or hopeless persons asks a questions like dis.

Wake up from ur slumber, think, be innovative, be hard working nd be smart.
With this, riches will chase after u.

@op, there are over a thousand hope for someone that graduate with second class lower.
Using myself for an example, I just a secure a job with over 100 applicants, later shortlisted to 42 then final 10.

No be only you waka come skul o... 3rd klaas/pass is the hallmark of unseriousness(wasted years). It's inexcusable. On the order hand, it's not a hopeless state if only you can pick yourself up and never give up like a true cenation despite suffering numerous F-5s and Curb Stack.

only fools dont ask questions.

answer the question and stop acting like you know it all. ppl learn everyday.

How many people do you think have 2; 1 in Nigeria; 2:2 is the normal in 9ja na

mianyaegbu:
I have 2:2 with considerably good job nw.! Its not about what u scored but what u can do. Thou am running my M.Sc nw to improve it

pls how did U do it?

For you to be successful in life your grade doesn't really matter.

A lot of people with 1.1,2.1 most times work for people that had 2.2 while in school e.g Bill Gates and other dropouts billionaires.

I was at a seminar, recently where we called on two very successful mentors.

You won't believe that one of these mentor was very successful and very respected in the Nigeria Stock exchange, the work she does I don't think anybody in that firm can do it. So, your 2.2 doesn't really matter. This person am also talking about cameout with 2.2. She's very Successful and you too can.

My last advice for you is that you should FOLLOW YOUR PASSION, I mean your God given GIFTs.

The Most successful people in the world are those that actually follow their passion.

it is like someone scoring 300 in jamb vs. 200. who is more likely to enter uni first?

don't beleive the hype.

WTF! Were you running while typing this?

[quote author=atama27 post=36699642][/quote]

y re pple lyk u fond of compairing and criticising 1st class and 2.1 graduates. Its nt deir fault dat u nvr made 1st class.Op only asked a question nd u re here sayin nonsense. U must be a third class graduate.

Polithiefcian:
is it advisable for a graduate of History to register for Project Mangement professional course?

Advice pls

Y do u need that?

nobleens:
With the high rate of students graduating from the Nigerian institutions, what is the hope of a 2.2, third and pass holder in the Nigerian labour market?

Opinions please..

Yes dear, there is hope. Infact big one.
Be confident in yourself, make connections as much as possible, Polish ur resume and MOST IMPORTANTLY BELIEVE IN GOD!!! Just ask me!
he can do anything, baba God I worship you.

tunergy:
Hope for 2.2 graduate is ZERO in the Labour market,

But if you would USE your HEAD, you can become an entrepreneur and employ 2.2 graduates.

Bloody lie! Who are you to say that?

luminousity:
@op, there are over a thousand hope for someone that graduate with second class lower.

a job of over a 100 applicant. This is d kind of job 2:2 can give u. 2:1 or 1:1 can get u selected from over 400, 000 applicants.

Icon4s:

Y do u need that?

Just asking... I don't know which prof course to register for.
Advise pls

Polithiefcian:


Just asking... I don't know which prof course to register for.

Advise pls

Thats where d problem lies. Professional course are only meant to sharpen ur knowledge/skill in ur chosen profession. If u have nt chosen a profession no need for a professional course.

it is only lazy people that are looking for who to work for instead of who will work for them. Assuming those employers did not strive or work hard to establish those companies will u see where to work? so work hard dude, think! think!! u must think out something and stop looking for already established empire. think like a boss and stop thinking like a servant.

Honestly, the 2.2 Discrimination is just too much. It makes someone feel like he or she wasted her time in school. God's willing I will start a scholarship scheme for only 2.2 Graduates because the discrimination I faced in the labour market was damn too much.

I support studying hard and making good grades as that gives you an edge but when the deed is done and you have a 2.2, there is hope.

I'm trying to encourage you not to loose hope, also develop yourself with recognized certificate courses, sometimes that gives you an edge as it shows your commitment to being better. for those still in school aim for the 1st and 2.1. if you can, for those already with a 2.2 and below, don't loose hope. work hard and develop yourself further

metrosexual:
[b]Below are words of a successful 2:2 graduate;

"First and foremost I'd like to unequivocally state that a 2:1 gives you an edge over the 2:2 graduates especially for shortlisting
purposes. Most graduate trainee programs have a minimum of 2:1 as their requirement.


Now to 2:2 graduates, I'd advise folks in this
category to add a proven competency other than your 2:2 grade to make you shine in the eyes of an employer. I'd use myself as an example, I polished my writing skills, my diction and communication skills.

Weeks before finishing NYSC, I wrote a
proposal to a top multinational firm, attached my CV and a cover letter, I got an invite for an interview, just minutes into the interview the HR manager said... "I love your diction!" ...Your proposal was an excellent idea, I just wanted to hear you talk."

And as you guessed right, I got the job! Mind you, I graduated with a 2:2 and my start up salary was close to six digits.


Apart from your 2:1 or 2:2, every employer respects "IDEAS" over a certificate. I have a very good job today because I sold an idea to my employer.

Another option for 2:2 graduates is to add
professional certifications to your certificate to give your CV some shine, go for Internationally recognised certifications in your profession, the likes of CISA, CISCO, NEBOSH, Prince 2, etc.

If that's far reached you can go for certification from Nigerian Institutes, the likes of Institute of Chattered Accountants of Nigeria, Nigerian institute of Management, Chattered institute of Personnel Management and others. And mind you, you must not read Accounting in University to get an ICAN certification. I had a friend who read Statistics and in final year he registered for ICAN, before finishing NYSC he got his ICAN certification and works in a multinational corporation now, and mind you, he graduated with a 2:2.

I bet you that a 2:2 with CISA or ORACLE 11g would beat a 2:1 graduate to a job.


A 2:2 graduate with ICAN before hitting age 27 would give you a job almost anyplace you apply.


A 2:1 just gives you a better chance over the 2:2 graduates for the case of Graduate Trainee programs, but how many jobs do Graduate Trainee Programs offer? VERY FEW!"


My last words to everyone is this ... Hustle hard!! If you made 2:1 make sure it works for you, if you got a 2:2 acquire extra skills and competences to convince an employer that you are competent enough. All the best everyone!!![/b]

Woooooow !!!!


Kudos bro.. I have learnt something

you made mention of improving ur communication and writing skills, how did u go about it?

funmilade4real:
As long as you have God.
I have a third class colleague who is earning 3ce salary of a 2.1 person

in his father's company?

[size=18pt]Yes. But many of the brilliant young graduates in Nigeria without upper class often give up without exploring many other opportunities.
Among the youngest billionaires in Nigeria today is a young guy who graduated from UNILAG in 2002 with 2.2 and he is the CEO of an oil company in Lagos.
There are many others like him.

I have ideas that will create thousands of jobs for young graduates.

The following is a big opportunity for young graduates who are brilliant.
