Nicely says, and classic !

Well, a paper is a paper. If the MNC don't really accept you, you can gain a year or 2 experiences first in the small companies which are doing the same field before you apply to go for these MNC. At least, the interviewers will be more likely to intake you compared with those 1st class fresh graduate since you have similiar experiences and proved hardworking by your references (That's why references are important !).

Don't give up. Definitely, you will find a living with your papers. But, sometime, you have no idea what job you prefer to go for. For example, you don't always end up in IT field although you've graduated with certi. in IT. And, the most important thing, why you want to join this MNC or small company ? Because all your clever friends entered these firms, then you also think that's the best choice ? Or you go for the high salary ?

So, I think 1st class or 3rd class is not really important. But it's more about what you want to do with your life. Without the tickets(degree papers), do you think you can find a job in this environment ? Unless you have a dream that have been long set, let's say .. to become an electronic designer in Intel, then I believe you would work very hard to pursue your dream. Therefore, always set up your dream asap. That will be your INSPIRE !


You don't have to follow people's step. If the interviewer disagree with you, prove him wrong one day later. After all, interviewers are human and can make mistakes too, but respect them because they have more experiences than us. Their advices will always found useful (but right or wrong, you have to think/analyze and not followed 100%) by the juniors.

And should dreamer101 disagrees that you are stupid and useless because you got 3rd class degree, prove him wrong ! He is right about this " Future is on your own hand. The correct question should be I have a third class degree and now what can I do to improve my chances of having a godd job and future. " If interviewers like dreamer101 don't want to hire you, it doesn't means the end of your days. You still got much options on your hands. And there are reasons why MNC or dreamer101 refuse to take in below par result graduate, one of them are definitely it's making life easier for them. Just imagine, if you are given in such a position, and you are held responsible for the whole operation of your company tasks.

But then my friend who got 3rd class also managed to get the job faster than me. Why ? Because it's all down to the interviewers. If they think you are a talent that should be nurtured up, definitely they will train you up. Never look excuses for your failure. And finally, some people are strong in technical knowledges but somehow they screwed up in papers. I don't really know the reason thru.
