I'm in the same boat as you. I don't want more academic education. However I wouldn't mind the professionals qualifcations like the one offered by the NHS.

The teaching scheme I'm applying for does a professional teaching qualification at the end which is great! The professional qualification offered by the NHS was definately the pivetal point in my application. It sounded really worthwhile doing.

Oh well. Next year.

They usually recruit Fresh Graduates not old graduates.

Thought I'd just add that I'm on the scheme this year and this is absolute rubbish. If anything I've been surprised at how many people on it are not "fresh graduates". I applied a couple of years after graduating. I was rejected from a couple during my final year so I know what it's like, but it's really not the end of the world. If anything for a lot of prestigious graduate schemes a few years out of the academic bubble can be a real advantage. I think some people straight out of uni would find some of the jobs my cohort NHS grads are doing extremely difficult.

It's a shame you're not enjoying it - how come you're not?

I took themagicmonkeys post to mean that its rubbish that they prefer new graduates to old graduates.

I thought he was replying to the post he quoted. :s-smilie:

There was an article in the Times this morning saying that this year's graduates are loosing out on jobs to last year's graduates who have more work experience and that those graduating this June will find it harder to get jobs.

LOOL. The folks in this forum have bonded through the stress of waiting!

Im crossing my fingers early that it won't snow while we wait for the outcome of the interview... :eek:

I applied for HR. It's the only scheme I applied for this year, but I'm still an undergrad so there's always next year.

I would love it if I could leave uni knowing I had a job that will pay for my postgrad! :yep:

Hey, I have an interview on the 25th in London for General Management. Guess I'll see some of you there! :smile:

Mine is for general management. I'm working not far from the building where they will be held- had a walk over there at lunch today. Pretty nice building - and it's huuuuuuge!!

Well at least I'll be able to find the building easy enough (in theory!), hopefully see you at an assessment center Andy :smile:

I'm also looking forward to the interview being over :s.

Does anyone know how I can access my application form? I didn't think to save it before I sent it, for all the other schemes i've applied to you can just flick back to your form after it's been submitted :s-smilie:

This is my problem Gaga- I can't remember what i wrote about or even what questions they asked?! :confused:

I don't think we can look at it now, i keep kicking myself for not printing it out :frown:

Does anyone remember the questions asked?

Glad i'm not the only one! It really didn't occur to me at the time. Don't really want to ring the graduate recruitment people in case it counts against me.
