graduate jobs 2024

Basically you want to be ready to apply to grad schemes as soon as they open - likely September. All things being equal you probably have a better chance applying early so long as you are appropriately prepared to do so.

Thank you, what do you believe I should be doing to prepare. I wanted to buy a test package but didn't know which would be best for my money worth?

Hi sorry I'm a bit new to this, so people should apply in September or the grad scheme begins in September? Thanks!

In terms of what to do as at now (end of May) looking to apply in early Sept:

- check how your academic grades line up with different firms requirements
- how much work experience and extra curriculars do you have to help show competencies? The answer to this may guide your activities over the summer.

I would visit the university careers centre before paying for test packages as they probably have sample tests you can take plus advice to offer.

Thank you for this. I'm currently at Uni of Notts, my current average is quite a high first, could change after second semester exams finish.I do have work experiences but I was thinking about volunteering at a charity shop. I do have a paid research internship at the uni focusing on student engagement. However. it is not very relevant to my future aims. I just think I may not have the right skills that the jobs are looking for?

Could you expand a little on your work experiences to date?

For example - working in a supermarket during term time 10 hours a week for 2 years?

- Summer job in a restaurant - full time paid for 3 months?

Nothing like the ones above. By work experience i mean general ones at like care homes for 1 week. I have not done an actual full/part time job before.
