There's always a point in going for them as it gives you experience of interviews if nothing else.

You are welcome!

What job are you going to be doing?

My Neighbour used to work for a big Amercian company and they used to call people little Basta*ds and names like that and it just makes you wonder why anyone would want to work for such a company.

Because they pay well?

A lot of top tier firms do say 2:1 min but I've just been offered a job with one that is supposedly a 2:1 min and all the offer states is that I have to graduate - not queried this incase its a mistake though

I know a guy that graduated with a first in Economics at my university. He also got an A in Economics at A-Level. However he didn't have any other A-Levels as he did college late and got his Economics A-Level studying part time. The top financial employers wouldn't even look at him because his A-Levels weren't up to standards, apparently they wanted 3 or more A's or something. So even A-Levels can play a decisive role in getting on a top grad position. I have B's and C's so whether or not I'll even get looked at I don't know! But where theres a will theres a way.

Good pay is okay, but not worth it if the job is awful
