How to Get the Best Graduate Job: Secret Insider Strategies for Success in the Graduate Job Market de Dr. David Williams

How to Get the Best Graduate Job: Secret Insider Strategies for Success in the Graduate Job Market

Autor Dr. David Williams, Professor Phil Brown, Anthony Hesketh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 dec 2005
You're one of 400,000 students to graduate from university in a year. You want a good graduate job. Yet you know competition is fierce. This is the first book to go behind the scenes and show you exactly how you do it.
Over the last three years, two leading political economists went behind the scenes of the graduate jobs market. The first independent observers ever to be allowed into assessment centres, they sat in on final interviews, observed psychometric tests being given, and watched decisions on candidates being made. What they discovered was that there were far fewer graduate jobs than anyone had realised, that the way that the successful candidates were chosen was arbitrary and subjective, and that some candidates had worked out how to manipulate the system in order to secure the jobs for themselves.

How to Get the Best Graduate Job
 
You’re a graduate (or you will be soon). You want one of those highly prized top graduate jobs. But you know the competition is tough and the odds aren’t in your favour. There are only enough proper graduate jobs for around 5% of UK graduates each year, so you know you need all the help you can get to make one of them yours.
 
This unique book provides an insider’s view of how graduate recruitment works, based on the observations of indpendent observers, and shows how you can use this insight to your advantage.
 
The book reveals:
 
·         how graduate recruitment really works
·         what you can do to work out where the jobs really are
·         what criteria employers use to deselect CVs and application forms
·         how to convince employers to offer an interview
·         the two possible strategies of Player and Purist – plus the advantages and   downsides of each
·         how some students work the system – and get the jobs
 
Phil Brown and Anthony Hesketh were the first independent researchers to be allowed inside the graduate recruitment process with large organizations. They sat in on interviews and assessment centres, and observed the post-interview discussions where decisions were made. Their findings make fascinating reading and are the vital advantage that any graduate needs to stand the best chance of getting one of the most highly prized jobs.
 
Discover exactly how graduate recruitment works – and how you can work it to your advantage.
