Applying at Barclays

[TotalControl]

As I don't have a degree, I guess I would come under the school leavers section. But when clicked on, goes to a link telling me to sell space on my dog to fund a degree. WTF?

How can I apply for Barclays? They wont accept speculative CV's.

[AJS-]

How much per square inch of dog are they offering? Sounds like a winner to me.

Which options are you choosing after School Leavers?

Presumably the 'sell dog' option

I couldn't find it.

It's all over the place. Now it's the Peoplebank site which is apparently playing up.

All I want to do is apply.

Spent seven years there.

Used to be a nice place, then the americans came.

Darling wife works there too, it's a very unpleasant company to work for.

There are also many gingers.

Aye. Many a happy day spent in Holmes Chappell before the c vntery started.

Yep. Not sure about the croquet lawn. Was it on the grass between the Main Hall and the 'restaurant'? That's just a big lawn now, people play footy and touch rugby on there. There's a couple of tennis courts and a five-a-side pitch too at the other side.

It's not a bad place to work. There's never been a great atmosphere in there, but in the current climate I'm happy to have work.

I don't really have much interest in croquet guys.

Just thought it may be a nice company to work for. After not being picked for HSBC, Barclays really were the only other bank advertising jobs like mad. Applying for them seems a mission in itself.

They're trying to recruit for a reason.

Utter c nt of a place.

Lets not forget that Barclays Capital is probably a whole different kettle of fish to a town branch.

It really depends what side OP is after, investment banking, or retail.

[TotalControl]

Nicely put Okgo. Was thinking of getting my foot in and starting in at retail. Then potentially moving over after a bit of experience, probably about 2 years. Most banks just seem to be really fussy come interview stage for a job that really doesn't pay well. All I'm after is something 9-5 with some progression so that I can focus on my own business with a bit of money coming in from a stable job.
