My first ever post...
the lovely lady from the University careers service, basically trying to scare the crap out of us that “time flies” and “soon you will applying for your graduate job”. This is the type of advice most Freshers choose to ignore as “we don’t have to think about all that for ages”. However, I believed every word. And while many of my course .... Read Full Post

This got me thinking about a bit of advice passed on to us by the IBM recruitment lady who been has been knocking around campus this week hoping to snare herself a hot new graduate workforce. Before you go ahead all guns blazing and send your generic CV’s every which way, why not try .... Read Full Post

Qualification or vocation?
student newspapers, get free careers and business guidance, network, you can get help finding a part-time job, you get involved in events and the list goes on. As for that ideal personality, when I think of my former just turned 18 self beginning uni, and look at myself just a year and a half on there is a huge difference. I kind of .... Read Full Post

It makes sense seeing as we seem to have to spend more and more hours of our lives working nowadays. Those that know me have probably noticed .... Read Full Post

Just five years after joining the graduate training scheme, Tom Osborne is responsible for developing the brand strategies and programmes that are designed to reclaim the UK market leadership for JTI/Gallaher. Since the acquisition by Japan Tobacco International (JTI) in April 2007, he finds himself with a key role at the heart of the world’s third largest tobacco company.

“I’ve always had a strong entrepreneurial side and the big brands, size and reach of JTI/Gallaher was a big draw for me,” says Tom, who joined the development scheme in September 2003, having graduated from Bristol University with a degree in Sociology. .... Read the full Editorial

.... people’s careers – learn to listen.

What rewards can I expect?
What attracted me to Hays in the first place is the commission structure. It is paid over and above a basic salary and designed to reward you personally on the amount of success you have. There is a risk element involved, but if you’re good at your job and get a little bit of luck, you can earn really good money.

And the work-life balance …
You sometimes need to speak to candidates and clients in the evenings; however, the excellent commission more than compensates. I’ve never failed to take my full holiday allowance!

What is special about Hays’ culture?
There’s a ‘work hard, play hard’ culture and colleagues tend to stick together and support each other. There is high visibility and your success is recognised at all levels of the organisational hierarchy. .... Read the full Editorial

WPP holds a plethora of such agencies. And the people that make up these companies are truly inspiring. People of every background work in this field and all contribute unique and marvellous things.
