StefanAVFC Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was looking at the graduate scheme back in Engaland, in the company I work for now. It says you need a 2.1 in my undergraduate to get on. Ayybody who works in business, would having a post-graduate and a year's outstanding performance in the same company let me get on with a 2.2?

StefanAVFC Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's my own fault. Put all the eggs in the teaching basket and I got onto the postgraduate for that with an unconditional offer (well 2.2 or above) so I totally coasted my final year.

villa4europe Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 my 2:2 was because i didnt pay attention to how many credits i had, id missed a module so didnt have enough to finish, they said i could stay another 6 months and get a 2:1 or i could do a resit and only get a 2:2 resit it was i really didnt take it seriously enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Got a 2:2 because of weed. Lots and lots of weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Got a 2:2 doing a 4 year course in 2 years, at night, whilst working full time in the day. Nearly killed me. Stef, But the alternative is not to try? You've got to try and sell it, I guess. You put your work for the company and post grad stuff and worldwide experience and all that at the front. Even leave your grade off if you want, until they ask for it. Get into the system before you get that tiresome level of detail. Seriously, the 'degree' is no absolute fool proof indicator of suitability, needing a set grade is even less so if you have someone there with experience and aptitude. Anyway, if the personnel bot just notices an unticked box and rejects the application, that's their loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Considering the company say 'a minimum of a 2.1' on their website This would be such an amazing opportunity to work (ok I already work for them but not in a graduate role) for a huge multinational company and I'm terrified some snotty 21 year old with zero life experience and a 2.1 from London Metropolitan (lowest ranked - no offence to anyone here who went)(sorry donnie) would get in ahead of me. My other option is to make sure I solve every problem for the recruitment people within the company whenever they call me. ^ cheers Chris. Yeah I'll probably apply once i've done a year in Poland on the service desk. Aim for a promotion quickly (6 months minimum but if I keep up my level of performance , I'm fast tracked) and they can't say no to me. The plan should be to make myself unrejectable.

Stevo985 Posted February 25, 2015 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2015 Stefan, it will just depend how hard the red tape is to sidestep at your company. Common sense would say you're obviously good enough. But some companies, mine included, are arseholes about that. When I started at JLR a girl in my department wanted to do the assessment centre to get on the grad scheme and they wouldn't let her because, and I quote, "having worked at the company for a year you would have an unfair advantage over the other applicants in the assessment centre" I'm not making that up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
