I heard an interesting comment from an acquaintance who applied for the BA scheme,
They said they received an automatic 'not selected' email from Oxford.
I know their background ticked all the academic boxes with an engineering HND and 9 years experience in aerospace plus a PPL with over a hundred hours. They are knocking on for 30 though.
Makes me wonder what type of candidates BA Really want? I think young & "mouldable"
I would have thought a bit of age with relevant experience would be a plus but maybe it is more seen as "probably set in their ways"
