All applications with grades better than 3rd class honours and pass grades will not be considered.

Interested candidates should send their CVs to martinoluba@yahoo.com and martinoluba@gmail.com on or before February 23, 2012. All applications after that date will not be entertained.

Does the company have a name or address?

Mehn! The required qualifications for the positions advertised are tight o.

Seriously, is this possible?

234GT: I graduated with a sixth class degree. Can I apply?

nairaland guys no kill person 4 here.

Hahahaha.

I dont see anything wrong with the choice of grade of the poster. Because we place unecessary premium on first class and 2.1 student will go to any length to get these grades. There are very bright and intelligent people with 2.2 and 3rd class. To all those banks and coy that have placed embargo on recruiting 2.2 and 3rd class graduates note that examination is not the true test of knowledge.

Take note of the following: 1. learning is said to have taken place when there is a change in behaviour. 2. Learning takes place when a student passes through a structured curriculum. 3. Students are given tests and exams to evaluate and ascertain if learning has indeed taken place. 4. One sure way of measuring students knowledge in a given course is to find out if there is a change in behaviour. This can be through exams, tests, observation, research/project, assignment, continous assessment, field trip, industrial attachment etc. What will you say about a first class student who suddenly developed high fever and was unable to write anything in the exam hall? Therefore examination "ALONE" is and cannot be the tool to measure knowledge. The true test of knowledge is the combination of various assessment tools one of which is exam.

It is evident in your post esp. the bolded that exams is the number one and presently the most effective way of testing knowledge. So, Filebe, End of discussion.

Have you ever asked yourself the reason why after aptitude test, job seekers would be required to come for an interview? One of the reasons is that employer want to know the level of development in candidates cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains.

The following are not new in our education system especially at the tertiary level: sorting, sex for marks, upgrading, impersonation (writing exam for someone) etc. Little wonder someone posted in one thread that a graduate failed primary school quantitative and verbal reasoning.

For your information I would rather employ a 3rd class degree holder who has a well developed cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. Someone that is proactive, innovative, productive and an out-of-the-box thinker. I would prefer this candidate to someone who parade a first class degree that is worth tissue paper. What class of degree does the following academic dieties possess? Aristoto, Plato, Socrates, Wole Soyinka, Bill Gates etc. Wake up and strive for personal development instead of looking for first class or 2.1.

Oh! Am not disputing that with you, but the fact still remains that 'exams, for now is still widely used at virtually all levels of life', be it primary, secondary and tertiary, levels. Please, why do we have aptitude tests, gmat, gre, toefl and other exams? cos it is best used to assess the knowledge of applicants, professional exams too are there, may i tell you that those interviews and other forms of accessing people are just add-ons, thats why they are (at times) conducted after the main which is exams.
Or you would prefer interviews to be used to assess students at different levels of education? No, because it will be time consuming and costly and also the cases of atrocities mentioned will be even more. So that still leaves us with exams as the best (for now), it will particularly save time and help assess all at the same time effectively and efficiently.

I am not of the notion that only a 2.1 or firstie grade will do, but it will go a long way. The main is to develop oneself by acquiring skills and experiences that align with one's career, it's the best.
But, seriously, why would one graduate from a uni with third class or pass? Very strange, or circumstances and not being priviledged caused it not to make at worse a 2.2?

ok
