I've also been considering WTF I'll do once I finish my degree. I'm seriously tempted by some masters courses, but also by the money being offered by some of the graduate schemes out there. Of course, if I pursued the latter I'd probably turn into some unfeeling, corporate automaton, but right now, the money alone would make it worthwhile. I've previously whined about some of the ancient educational requirements of such schemes, but there seem to be a few who don't require a specific set of A-level grades. What ALL of them do require, however, is for the hundreds (thousands?) of applicants to jump through a series of hoops, generally conforming to the following system:
1. Seemingly endless application form requiring educational details, work info, why you want to work there, competency questions (which are The Worst), etc.
2. Online tests - numerical, reasoning, personality.
3. Telephone interview - basically an oral version of stage 1.
4. Assessment day - a day spent with the other brown-nosers who've managed to get that far. More tests, group work, interviews, presentations.
5. Offer.
I know the whole process is designed to filter out the wheat from the chaff, but the prospect of going through that once is bad enough. But to have to go through that for every job you apply for? WAH.
All this said, I'm not sure I could come up with a better way of doing it.
