Are you Looking for amazing Graduate Jobs?
As a graduate recruitment specialist, we can point you in the right direction as to where to find it. There are so many platforms out there it can become quite overwhelming. Its best to find the one that works best for you.
Graduates, Let us start at the beginning.
Ask yourself the following:
Do you have a CV written and updated fully?
If not check out our blog on creating a perfect CV
Do you have a cover letter? Do not forget this will need to be tailored to the role you’re applying for. Check out our blog for further advice on this.
What sort of work is it you are looking for and what industry are you wanting to work in? Is your LinkedIn profile up to date and mirroring your CV? Ensure all your social media privacy settings are in check.
The main reason for this will be that potential employees will check you out on all platforms to see what sort of things you share, how you speak to peers. So, if you do not want them spying on you and finding something you do not want them to – update the settings to private. Check out our blog on how to do this on multiple platforms to keep your information to yourself.

Job Boards
Check out job sites like Find a job. This is a government run job board so attracts a lot of businesses of all sizes. You can apply directly through this site to the employer.
