LETTER TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Dear Students,
Kindly find below job requirements for graduate trainees:
1. Shell - 2:1 and above
2. Total- 2:1 and above
3. Exxon Mobil- 2:1 and above
4. SEPLAT- 2:1 and above
5. OANDO- 2:1 and above
6. NNPCL- 2:1 and above
7. PwC- 2:1 and above
8. Deloitte- 2:1 and above
9. KPMG- 2:1 and above (though they are now more liberal)
10. FIRS- 2:1 and above
These are just few ones but almost all big name and competitive companies, organizations and agencies require that you must have at least a Second Class Upper degree to stand a chance of applying to work with them. This is for those who want to use their certificates in the corporate world.
There are people going round with the notion that good grade doesn’t matter because “they know a 3rd class working in America”. Dont listen to them. I have interacted and currently interacting with hundreds of graduates everyday and I can tell you for free that class of degree is a major game changer.
Higher degrees dont mean that one is more intelligent than those with lower. It means one is more focused, dedicated, committed and attentive to detail, qualities organizations are looking for in their prospects.
You are still in school and with your fate mostly in your hands. Try as much as you can to have a good grade. I am just telling you because I care. Not everyone will get for sure but try and be part of those who will get.
This is a message for UNDERGRADUATE students not GRADUATES so someone from 100 TLs away will not feel offended and start shouting MOCKERY or that Ingawa doesn’t believe in Allah. I will do a stand alone letter to the graduates later.
Yours,
MS Ingawa
