Dear ProGrad.
Help I’m a recent graduate, I have studied my butt off (mostly) for the last few years to get the all important degree, and now, I have the piece of paper but don’t know what to do with it? What’s more, there are approximately tens of thousands of me graduating every year. I don’t really feel as unique as I used to. I know my mum thinks I’m special, but will an employer? Everywhere seems to want 3-5 years experience, does my 3 months of interning count? Should I have done honors? Why are cufflinks so fiddly?
At ProGrad we are all too familiar with the struggles graduates experience when trying to make that important break from student to worker.
ProGrad are a graduate placement and training company who specialize in placing graduates into roles within the Business to Business Sales category. This is a broad term that can cover a variety of different types of roles in almost any industry.
We place graduates with little or no experience into permanent full times roles with small, medium and large organizations in a range of industries, putting you on track for a successful career, not just a job. How does it work? After successfully completing our assessment process and showing us that you are an eager graduate who is looking to get into the type of roles we have on offer, we help you through the interview process and then provide you with a year’s worth of training (all paid for by your employer) in order to ensure that you not only know what you’re doing, but are able to do it well!
The graduate battle can be a hard one, but we are here to help! If you are a recent graduate wanting to get the kick start you need for a successful business career, contact ProGrad’s Graduate Management team, send us an email at info@prograd.com.au or give us a call on 02 8235 8351.
cufflinks ARE soooo fiddly!! >.<
Do you really need to wear a long sleeve shirt to interviews, graduate days etc? In this hot weather surely an interviewer would understand if you had short sleeves.
Hi Green Sleeves, great question. We recommend long sleeve shirts just because they do look more professional, especially for a first impression. Wearing a suit in this hot weather can be a little warm but definitely recommended. On the plus side, you look much more corporate and impressive and most offices will have air conditioning so even if you only put your jacket on when you got inside we recommend covering up those arms for the event!
Nice!! Great Info. Great People. Great Blog. Thank you for all the great sharing that is being done here.
