That you have a third class degree doesn’t mean you may not be qualified for the jobs you are applying for. The trouble only lies in convincing your prospective employers that despite your result you are qualified for the job.
Here are things that will help anyone handicapped with a third class degree overcome the limitations and get the kind of jobs they desire.
Acknowledge That It is Not the End of the World: Many successful persons today succeeded in spite of seemingly poor academic results. First you have to make yourself know and accept the fact academic results do not determine where you end up in your career. Much of how much you advance in your career will determine on the skills you acquire and what you do to improve and market yourself.
State Your Academic Qualifications While Applying, Leave Out the Grade Unless When Requested: Unlike in previous years more employers are realizing that certain qualified and skillful job candidates may possess third class degrees or second class lower degrees so they quietly leave out the part that requires job applicants to state the class of their degrees qualifications. So you will do yourself a world of good by stating only your qualifications eg, B.Sc in Computer Science and leave out the grade of your qualification unless the employer specifically requested for it.
It serves no need stating the class of your degree when you should concentrate on projecting your skills for the job to the employer.
Create More Compelling CVs: To direct the attention of your prospective employers away from your academic shortcomings and onto your practical skills and talents for the job you have to create a Cv that convinces the employer to call you for an interview. How do you do that?
