Graduate Prospects business manager Chris Rea claimed that good knowledge of a prospective employer is essential for anyone looking to distinguish themselves from the crowd of newcomers looking to secure work this summer.
“The tenacious graduate will go a step further and contact the HR department for background information,” he explained. “Advisers and experts always say that preparation is key to a successful application.”
Mr Rea advised applicants to prepare a series of questions relating to the company to ask when the interview draws towards its conclusion, but warned against approaching the meeting as an “interrogation”.
Earlier this month, a report from Unison revealed that careers advice for British youngsters is being cut back as part of reductions in government spending.
