Reed Graduate Scheme

[UK-AL05]

I'm sure the reasons behind the answer I got was to do with the timing of me asking (towards the middle/end of the application window). It really annoyed me that they would flat out refuse someone who doesn't have A Levels but is about to achieve a (all things going well) 2:1 degree, for a graduate scheme. I understand that they can set whatever requirements they want but still, it's quite laughable.

Graduate schemes, especially ones administrated by HR have always taken the michael. They completely fall apart when someone has not gone through the traditional path. Even if say, you've got work experience in the exact job your applying for they don't want to know. It's mostly laziness and being able to apply automatic filters as opposed to reading the application.
