I recently was lucky enough to start an AO role at the CPS after a year of failed job applications post graduation. This role is advertised as being open to those who have GCSE’s so I assumed that I would be the only graduate starting. Much to my surprise - my entire (relatively large) cohort was made up entirely of other graduates.

Has it always been the norm for these roles to be made up of graduates or is this a result of the current job market?

P.S: I should clarify I don’t mean to demean the role in anyway or to suggest that it is ‘lesser’ in some way for a graduate to be working in the role, but you’d assume that graduates would be working in graduate roles, no?
