© Creative Leadership, 2010 Graduate Recruitment Background & Trends 2010  Competition is fierce In 2009 graduate vacancies attracted 44+ applications each. This is expected to increase in 2010 (source Telegraph)  There remains less Grad jobs than before the Credit Crunch It’s projected that there will be a 3.7% increase in graduate jobs in In 2009 they decreased by 10.9% (source IDS).

© Creative Leadership, 2010 Effective Preparation has never been more critical!!! “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” Dr Seuss

© Creative Leadership, 2010 Our Job Search Top Five  Know what you’re looking for  Make it easy to find you  Go where the employers are  Make an effort  Look in the mirror

© Creative Leadership, 2010 The Usual Suspects….  Networking  Speculative Applications  Newspaper Ads  Agencies  Job Boards

© Creative Leadership, 2010 Network  Brainstorm people who could help  How could they help?  Put yourself in the other persons shoes  Call them  Ask for help  Take notes  Do what you promised  Follow up

© Creative Leadership, 2010 Networking Script  Introduce yourself and say who gave you the person’s name  Briefly explain that you’re getting in touch because your mutual contact suggested he/she may be able to help you with your job search  Ask if this is a good time to talk. Call back at an agreed time if not  Explain your job search objectives and the type of work you’re looking for  Do not ask about specific job vacancies – you may miss out on a suitable job vacancy if you’re too specific – concentrate on your transferrable skills  Ask for help – this may be:  Giving information on organisation’s future plans and needs  Putting you in touch with people they know  Keeping an eye out for suitable opportunities  Give a contact number, agree a follow up time and thank him/her for helping you

© Creative Leadership, 2010 Speculative Applications  Call or send a letter  Send letter – Call – Follow up  Do your research  Be informed  Look out for opportunities  Speak to the Manager, not HR  Treat it as a project not a one off 9

© Creative Leadership, 2010 Making the First Approach  Pick a Business to approach  Research  Why do I want to join them?  How could they use my skills?  Who should I contact?  Who can tell me more about this organisation?  Do I want to work there?  Call them  Do what you promised  Follow up
