thing is for graduate jobs there is a 3-6 month selection process (well for retailing anyway), what normally happens u apply the year you graduate and go through the process while ur at uni and start working once you've finished.
and imm after anything at asistant manager or higher level in retailing, or something IT related that pays ok to! (though i may need to get some qualifications for that, as self taught knowledge isnt enough aperently)

And u didnt do this because?
My sis has a first in business, and is workin at the aylesbury council coz she cant find a decent job. Not a great time for high paid jobs, too much competition, become a binman, or invent something and make millions
Or get into the building trade

dunno about up north, but in London, soooooo manyn Tesco's are trying to recruit managers and the like. Customer Service manager basically gets about £25K. My current CSD manager gets more than that and he doesn't even have a degree, and now he's been promoted to being a store manager at another store, which is worth 40K + Options and Company Car!!!!!
*Hint* go to those selection days/weekends. I went to one for a government job and they had all these tests on vocab/spelling, well I got shit scores but they were looking for people who could work together and under pressure. I go the job in the end but turned it down.
Easyiest way to get a job is to know someone in the industry or spread your options a little further than normal. Dont just look for jobs in IT or managers, everyone does that, start small and work your way up.

Thats sooo wank. Although I shouldnt be complaining, incase some lame self-taught 12 year old secures a business deal I shoulda got
Unless, you apply for a job and take examples of your work along. That way, when they mention the fact that you're not officially qualified, you can slam it in their face and say
