Yes, they will. Every degree/diploma/certificate has its own value. It depends how well you present yourself.
Third Class = No value?

QUOTE(FleshWound @ Jun 15 2006, 10:56 AM) but the word above your stars read "unemployed". THE IRONY!   put only. but I still yet to land a job as an engineer. So I'm working as a temporary worker for now.QUOTE(yihyan @ Jun 15 2006, 10:56 AM) well, this i will not guarantee... Don't be suprise that companies could call somebody holding a Pass degree too. becoz nowadays...too many graduates are looking for jobs.... so in order to have a good advantage, at least you need to have good grades(acceptable range, not first class only, maybe like cgpa>3) then only you have a chance to be shortlisted...tat way u baru can present yourself lo else maybe a bit hard....no chance for you to present yourself how they employ u? QUOTE(rexis @ Jun 15 2006, 10:59 AM) I am a 3rd class degree holder. It is a better-then-nothing paper, but there are still company out there that value your degree paper. I agree with that statement. It shows that you've been through approx. 13 years of education.  QUOTE(rexis @ Jun 15 2006, 10:59 AM) It might be a bit harder to find your first relevent job - it has took me 1 freaking long year to find my current job... felt extremely frustrated especially those bank ads all saying "2nd-class-uppder and above" really jialat. I still send my applications regardless there're requirements or not because you will never know whether they might look into your application. Ttherefore, trying is always a good thing. Even though they don't bother about your application, treat it as wasting 2-3 pieces of paper and a 50 cent stamp. QUOTE(katsurou @ Jun 15 2006, 11:18 AM) I failed a double module subject in the final year and they don't allow student to retake because it's the UK university policy. Nothing I can do anymore. In fact, I'm one like you last time. they based on credit system. Either you pass or take the whole year again. So, bear with it. |

QUOTE(igor_is300 @ Jun 16 2006, 09:53 AM) Are you graduated yet ? Pass degree holder from UK ere 3rd class is an Honours Degree. The lowest rank is Pass Degree which has no Honours. Anyway I seldom come across local graduates with 3rd class or pass degree, most of them are at least 2nd class lower. This is different when I was in UK since there are quite numbers of 3rd class degree holders. Looking to this scenario i think there is a difference in standard and quality of the degree awarded. Somehow our education system is getting more lenient and acquiring many A1s in SPM is like an absurd competition.  . I'm not proud of it nor I'm disgusted with it. At least, I know that I didn't quit half way because of my bad results. Life goes on. It's just another chapter of life |

QUOTE(Hornet @ Jun 16 2006, 09:33 PM) Erm, if u guys dont mind, I'd like to ask one more thing. If I read your statement correctly (pardon me if I'm wrong), the ratings (1st class, 2nd Higher, 2nd Lower, 3rd Class and Pass) are the same in every department (IT, Engineering, Law, Business etc). I'm not sure about Australia's education or any other part of the world's education on this matter. Correct me if I'm wrong Lets say if a certain class, lets say 3rd class, generally has a certain value (certainly not any higher than a 2nd class), are they the same or does it varies depending on what kind of degree? Like between an Engineering, IT or management degree... reason why I'm asking is tht i read thru the discussion here, thanks to those who share some experience here, just to get an idea how it is like to have a 3rd class degree and one that's higher.... but I'm not sure exactly what kind of degree u guys are talking about, IT or engineering or management  . So i wonder if it applies similer regardless of what kind of degree... heh... thx |

QUOTE(Hornet @ Jun 17 2006, 01:51 PM) erm, my mistake i think i didnt state clearly... Yes, they are same.I mean if comparing it in terms of value when we're finding job out there... I mean, does a Engineering degree comparing to a IT degree for example, both of the same class, have the same value... thats what i'm asking. if anyone can give some opinion, thanks  |
