Hello,
Earlier in the month, solely to try my luck, I applied for a graduate position in London without a degree. Somehow, after an intensive interview process, I have since been offered (and accepted) the full time position. Despite stating the requirement of a degree – and offering a graduate salary – since it’s in the television industry, there is more scope for flexibility.
For years I have been geared towards university and currently hold an AAB offer. Now I have this job, circumstances have drastically changed – so what do I do?
Ideally, I would like to defer my place on results day. Although I am unlikely to attend next year, I would like to have that option in place to have myself covered. My problem is that on results day I will be working in London, and cannot get it off.
Because of this, I won’t know my results until later in the evening; and I obviously do not want things to start moving regards accommodation and student finance. I am worried that if I defer now, they may withdraw their offer entirely, or simply not make me one. I want to wait until results day; get the grades; have a secured place but then defer it. That is my plan.
How do you all suggest I approach this? I’m feeling a bit lost and would appreciate any advice
Can I also just add that I was always very committed to going to university. This opportunity - whilst fantastic - has really altered my future, and so I am having to quickly adjust. I was excited for university but realistically, I cannot turn down a graduate employment offer that essentially propels me three years forwards without any debt.
