    Hi Dave,

    I think you have the advantage over anyone 21-22 without experience. I don't think a degree on its own is enough anymore. All graduates recruiters are after people with some kind of work experience, non-academic interests, and skills you have gained outside of your degree. After 5 years in the Royal Navay you will have a whole range of skills. You probably have developed a lot of self-confidence and initiative, so with a 2.2 or higher-you'll be a prime candidate

    best wishes for your job search!
