oh, and despite having a maths degree, I am really nervous about the numerical reasoning test because I like to work slow and I'm really not up to scratch with those kind of problems they give, so do you have any advice for sites to check out for practise?

e-financial careers have a couple of practice ones. My advice is just do as much practice as possible and get yourself familiar with the sort of questions they ask. Once you get used to them you can increase your speed on them massively. Most of it is just percentages and stuff like that.

My degree in accounting was, unsurprisingly, useful in my getting a job as an accountant.

If you're talking about big corporate graduate schemes I would've thought classification is important to get a foot in the door. The big employers have a lot of CVs to sift through and need differentiators. I can't say for certain because these things are multidimensional and I don't know of any empirical studies on this.

You don't have to work for one of those glamorous big ticket companies, it depends where you want to go in the future. You can also get great experience working for smaller companies; they tend to develop you in more areas as you can get more exposure to different parts of the given organisation so long as you are willing (actually, flexibility is often a requirement!). You can also get good entrepreneurial skills this way.

So four or five years down the line the classification gets far less important and people begin to look at your achievements since graduating.

You're doing the right thing in thinking about the possibilities. I started looking around late in the first term of my final year too and I ended with plenty of job offers. Sounds like quite a few of you are on the ball, clearly students have pulled their socks up in the past decade or so

Degree in Computer Science and Management in 2006 at Warwick, now work in project management for a big Insurance firm. Once you start, it's a completely clean slate no matter what result/degree you got, which is the way it should be.

Basically, the degree is the means of getting the job, after that it's pretty much useless except as a tick box to say you've got one for promotions.

Alot of the banks use SHL so I'm guessing the accounting firms will do too.
