Graduates now have the expertise of talent and career management consultancy, Right Management at their disposal with the launch of its free GradGuide 2010 and The Right Grad Guide blog.
Designed to help students and graduates get ahead in what is proving to be the harshest job market in decades, the GradGuide offers practical advice and information for each step of the job-hunting process. From creating the most impactful CV to using social media to network for job opportunities, Right Management’s industry experts offer comprehensive advice to graduate jobseekers. For the latest jobseeking news, The Right Grad Guide blog will keep students up to date as well as provide hints and tips about how to stand out to employers.
The GradGuide also offers first hand advice from the class of 2010. Chantelle Wright, 22, studied Business Management with a year in industry at Birmingham University, she says: “Times are tough for graduates, and it is intimidating and scary to be starting out and trying to find a job from scratch. The advice I found most valuable was to make sure you do your research on the company before you fill in applications forms. Companies are quick to identify and dismiss generic applications so make sure you tailor your questions specifically to the company and role you are applying for.”
Jayne Carrington, Managing Director of Right Management, says: “For graduates leaving university, finding a job is especially difficult at the moment. We wanted to use our 30 years of experience in career management to help students prepare for the job market. Looking for a job can be one of the hardest challenges post study and I hope with the GradGuide and blog we have made it just that little bit easier.”
