| Is A Second Lower Class Degree In Computer Science Useless? Posted: 22 Jul 2011 02:45 AM PDT Maxwell writing from Mombasa sent us this. I graduated with a second lower class in Computer science. I have search for job for a year now and each time, I pass aptitude test with good scores,because I know I’m not dull, but when I go for oral interview, on seeing my certificate, the panel treats me like an outcast. Though I came out with a second lower class, I’m far far better than most first class graduates in terms of technical experience. Among the things I can do very well in the computer field are Networking, PC repairs and maintenance, Web
designing and a little programming. My problems is that most of these employers won’t even give me chance to display what I know. The question is “Am I going to remain jobless because of my certificate?” ” Am I completely unemployable?”. Someone should please come to my rescue, I believe I have a lot to contribute in the IT world if my grade should be overlooked.
