You will need to submit your CV, a cover letter and your University transcript for most roles. We recommend double checking your documents for any spelling errors or grammatical mistakes. Tailor your CV and cover letter so that it highlights your key competencies and the transferable skills which would help you succeed in your chosen role. Find out when employers are planning to be on campus and make arrangements so that next year you can go and meet them in person.
Choosing an area of business that interests you and aligns to your studies can seem overwhelming when there is so much choice. Do your research online about the various services we offer and consider which one would best suit both your degree background and your skill set. We will only consider one application per person and we will ask you to rank both your business unit and location preferences. Make sure you are confident that you are applying to the role which is the best fit for you.
Three minutes to find your fit
Standing out from hundreds of other graduates is important. Reading a unique application is exciting and indeed every application should be different - after all this is your opportunity to showcase your unique skills and talents. Make sure you leverage all of your relevant experience and include this where appropriate, this could be from volunteering commitments, work experience or personal interests (such as sports or other hobbies). If you find it hard to articulate your skills and achievements, ask friends, colleagues or tutors for their thoughts about your strengths and go from there.
It’s important to think broadly about your career aspirations and then consider how a particular opportunity aligns with them. Are you excited about where an organisation will be in 1, 5 or even 10 years’ time? If you are then this is a good sign that you have both done your homework on the overarching aims of the company you are applying to, and are already starting to think about the value you could add
You might be able to use your connections to speak to people that are currently working for your prospective employer. If you can then that's a great source of information. If not, then read as much company content as possible and watch videos of our employees speaking about their subjects of interest. Be curious and find out about prospective employers through their social media presence. We use Instagram to showcase our people, this can often be a good starting point to engage with the work that the business is doing (and that you might be doing too!)
Both the application process and the interviews are a chance for you to find out more about the organisation and make a judgement as a candidate as to whether this will be the right workplace for you. Being able to attend an interview and articulate exactly why you think the business would be a good fit for you is powerful and shows you are a considered candidate.
