I know I said I was out of this thread but work is quiet and that last post was too big an invite for a reply for me to turn down.
All you guys seem to say that the world is made for the poeple who get As and 1st. The poeple i come in contact, which is a lot of poeple have avarage grades. Say BBA levels and 2.1 degrees.
Chances are that those people, along with those with As at a level and 1st class degress will get recruited before you would. Grades matter.
Yes I did got CCB and I missed Bs by 1 or 2 % and the same with my degree.
That's great but people that
did get a 2:1 and
did get Bs will still look better than you on their CV.
All i want is a job i am not after IB or anything, just a suitable job in the financial sector. Once I have work experience and a few professional qualifications l am moving out of this country and work for IB or hedge funds in saudi arabia, dubai or someother country.
You've failed to get a job so far and are blaming everybody but yourself. Based on what you've said in this thread you'd have to pay
me if I gave you a job.
By the way by CV has been done up professionally where i had to pay money. So its not my CV, its the grades and the work expereince.
That doesn't mean it's any good...
I don't understand how i can have work experience when you sacrifice work for education or take a year out. I have not put in any extra cirrumcular stuff, its got nothing to do with doing a job. Yes I use to run for my school and i use to be the fastest person running 100m. What has that got to do with doing a task, unless i am applying to be a runner. I am well traveled - again nothing to do with doing a job or task.
One word: Clueless.
So your CV has your name, work experience and qualification and
nothing else? No wonder nobody has offered you an interview. Activities and achievements outside of work and education probably count for as much as or more than work experience and education - They give an indication of what a person is like
as a person! According to your CV you are an uninteresting, unengaging, socially inept person who has achieved mediocrity in education - And you wonder why you're struggling to get an interview let alone a job...
And my main piont i am trying to say this when money, yes money is involved the playing field becomes even, meaning people like me with be a right good compettion for these straights As and 1st. When you are studing there is no financial gain or loss only the grades you get. if money was involved when things might have been different. Believe me.
The playing field was more even too yet you failed to achieve well compared to the competition there too. Sure money adds extra motivation but those with better grades have
proven that they have ability and desire without the need for extra motivation. All you've managed to prove to me is that you're good at coming up with poor excuses.
I am applying for every reasonable places for an average person. At the end of the day you are asking to become someones slave and get bossed around for low pay. these companies just want labour.
How do you know that? You've not been there, done it or got the t-shirt. Going by your friends opinions doesn't count for much either because chances are their opinion is highly biased for one reason or another.
These jobs are not dream jobs working for IB boring. I wanted to sign up for the RAF and become a fighter pliot, imagine the speed and g forces your body goes throught.
Then why are you pursuing it? You've no chance of making it anywhere significant in a field you don't seem to want to be in for any reason other than greed.
Two poeple from my uni have got into ib they a few of whom got As and 1st.
Doesn't that tell you something...
I believe anyone and do any job they have to be determined and persistant. Survival of the fittest.
You're certainly persistent - shame you're not one of the fittest though.
