Read Now The Grad Network: A Guide to Graduate Scheme Success MOBI
If you’re thinking about applying for a job on Graduate Scheme, this book is for you. From choosing which scheme is best suited to you, to guiding you through each stage of the application process; this book is packed with useful tips and advice. Competition for a place on a Graduate Scheme is tough. And frankly, it can all be a bit daunting. But there is lots you can do to maximise your chances at each stage of the process. This book looks at Graduate applications, psychometric tests, interviews and the various exercises in assessment centres. The author brings bags of experience from having seen it from both sides of the fence, so to speak. Having set sights on a HR Graduate Scheme and experiencing first hand the sweaty palms of Graduate Assessment Centres, she began her career as a HR Graduate for a FTSE 100 company. Having then progressed through the 18 month scheme, she has since landed various senior management roles but really became an expert in Graduate Recruitment when heading up the Graduate Team. Whilst recruiting over 100 Graduates each year, she worked closely with Universities, designed and ran the recruitment process including interviews and assessment centres and worked with a network of many other top Graduate recruiters who benchmark schemes and share best practice. Even now in her position as Head of HR, Graduates play a hugely important role and she remains a massive advocate of putting time and development into Graduates so that they grow into our future leaders. All this experience forms the basis of this book which incorporates the guidance the author wishes she had known when applying for Graduate Schemes, as well as the advice she can offer as a Senior HR Professional.
