Hi there, just want to share my friend's experience... he got 3rd class degree and managed to secure a respectable position in a MNC.
It is not through cable or wat... but it is how he planned his way up
until now i have respect for him.
below is wat he did:
he prepared a really good resume.. this is because the first think employer see is ur resume... really professional looking one... and he didn't put the CGPA results or class in his resume.... just put in the name of the degree... and all other info that is relevant to the job
he managed to attend the aptitude test... so, for this... u need to work hard and score high la... after the aptitude test, the instructor asked everyone to submit their resume and photostated copies of their relevant certificates. wat he did was to submit all the clubs n society certificates but not the result transcripts... when the guy asked for it.... he said he just graduated and haven't got the transcript... but will be getting soon....
at this stage, the company doesn't even know his results. but by looking at his way of dressing/talking... he looked like a really smart student....
after that, the results came out and he was required to attend the interview... so he went in... dressed really smart and very executive-like.... talked confidently.... and i guess his soft skill was really good.... because he managed to turn a 1 hour interview into a chit chat about sports, jokes....... gues he really jived with the interviewer....
not untill the last minute, the interviewer asked him about his results... and he told him that he is a 3rd class holder.... and the interviewer asked how did he managed to go through the screening and test.... i guess he got nothing to lose, so he told him the truth on how he hide his results. interviewer was kinda impressed and later he was hired on the spot...
so, results are not everything... there are always ways to get everything....depending on ur creativity.
Third Class = No value?
