Hmm, product development sounds interesting.

Could I bring myself to work for ford though? That's the question.

What are your hours like mark?

I do 'Flexi' which means cores hours are 9.30 till 3 and you make up the rest of your time either side of that so you can start early and go home early or start late and go home late Its a 37.5hr week IIRC. I roughly do 7.30 to 3.30 each day. Good thing is you can do an extra hour a day and take a half day on a friday etc

I am not sure if all areas run flexi though.

Seems to be the way lately,our company has employed a Cambridge graduate,and he's the thickest most dangerous manager we've got!

[Sharpy]

I totally forgot how much I miss Flexi time

[Jezz_S13]

I'd be surprised, but you might be right.

[Teggers]

Actually, HR, marketing and sales or purchasing could be interesting. Whereabouts would one potentially be based (looking to buy a house very soon and will need to sort a job out).

BTW, I'm actually being serious for once! And I do have a degree in HR...

Only for graduates?

Im currently looking for a new job and so wish I finished uni, pretty much everything I look at, even basic stuff people want degrees now. I know people who have finished uni and are still useless, no common sense, not very practical etc but just because they have that bit of paper they get all the interviews

[Quail]

95% of the jobs I've been applying for have required experience rather than a degree! Its been very tough as a graduate with no formal experience, to find work. My girlfriend is still hunting.

TBF, its tough for everyone right now.

Quoted for the truth, companies seeking fresh graduates with 2 years experience

tough times, the longer it goes on from when i graduated in 2008 the less and less design engineering factors that remain in my CV and the harder it will be.
