ProGrad Case Study – Shadi

by ProGrad

I completed a bachelor of applied finance and a bachelor or Economics at Macquarie University but I did not apply for any graduate roles in my final year at university, due to an overseas exchange opportunity.

The found the assessment day to be a stressful experience, it was competitive but effective! It was a long day!

I selected the role I have because I really like the culture of the company, even though it was completely outside my field of study. I felt like there were lots of growth opportunities for me.

I work for a IT consultancy company with 6 lines of business, 1000+ employees Australia wide.

My role is licensing solutions specialist, dealing with exsiting clients.

I really liked sharing work experiences with the other graduates on training. It was great learning to do my job effectively when dealing with clients.

Feedback from a recently placed ProGrad candidate

by ProGrad

Hi Virgnia,

 

I Just thought it’s about time to say hello from my new workplace- thanks to you! Week 3 is coming to an end, and to be honest I  really loving it here. It’s exactly what I was looking for. The company is fantastic, work colleagues supportive- things could not be better, perhaps the pay could be higher but it’s only a matter of time for my commissions to start coming.

 

I sent my friend Grace to come and see you; she is also a recent graduate. She has already landed a fantastic job, thanks to you guys.

 

Anyways, I just wanted to say hello and wish to be in touch, you guys are awesome and so glad I came to Prograd- you guy’s rock.

 

Thanks once again!

Last Melbourne Assessment Day in 2009

by ProGrad

ProGrad will be once again in Melbourne tomorrow, Tuesday 15th December 2009 for our last Melbourne assessment day this year.

In 2009, we have run over 100 Assessment days in Australia and this day will conclude the Victoria assessments for recent graduates.

2009 has been a difficult year to predict for graduate vacancies, however we are confident that moving forward in 2010 we will see a definite increase in the need for graduates for B2B sales and marketing roles.

We have over 12 clients attending the Melbourne assessment day tomorrow and we’re looking forward to seeing the outcome.  Melbourne has historically been a great location for graduates, who continue to impress the assessment team with their excellent attitude and strong presentation ability.

For any candidates that have not yet confirmed their attendance tomorrow, please do so at your earliest convenience by contacting ProGrad on 02 8235 8300.  We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

From everyone at Prograd!

Are you thinking of travelling after Uni?

by ProGrad

It is graduate season and certainly a time when most graduates are weighing up their options.  Are they to stay and enter the work force, or is it time to see the world?

If travel is something that appeals to you, then our recommendation is to get that out of your system before engaging in full-time work! Employers have spent the last few years bowing to the demands of GenerationY and keeping roles open for those that suddenly decided to go travelling for a few months.  The reality is, that in the current economic climate it should be “all hands on deck”. 

Now is not the time to be starting full time work, and have an employer invest in your training and development if there is even a small HINT of you wanting to leave to go travelling. 

If you’re feeling the travel bug now, and you havent commited to full-time work…then get it out of your system and just go!  If you need to save money then take on a casual/ temporary job to assist you in putting money aside.  Whatever you do, do not take a role unless you know that hand on heart you can be commited to it for at least 3 years.

Companies will only start to see a return on their “graduate” investment after approximately 18 months of being in a role (sometimes longer) and so it is essential that their investment is recognised by candidates. 

Over the last 12 months, in a tight economy we have seen a huge decrease in candidates wanting to go travelling, and certainly and increase in the average tenure in a role.  The job market has been tighter and hasn’t provided the same opportunities as it had several years previously.

As a young person with limited experience, it is easy to overlook the company that first invested in you at the start of your graduate career.  Try to keep in mind that your first employer has had to invest in you enormously, possibly more than any other employer.  They will have invested time, effort and money on your training and development.  Ensure that you treat them well as they are likely to assist in future career moves – going off travelling after a few short months of working for a company is not likely to assist in the form of a glowing reference!

So…if you’re considering a trip away and you havent started work yet…go for it!  There has never been a better time.  Besides, many employers make look more favourably upon you if this is “out of your system” prior to starting.

ProGrad are growing the team

by ProGrad

ProGrad are yet again looking to recruit for our own in-house graduate program in Sydney.  We are looking to start a new group of graduates in the New Year and have already commenced the interview process.

We like to recruit through our own process, using recent graduates who have made it through the ProGrad assessment day.  This ensures our selected graduates have been assessed for their capability in sales and our interview process is then about assessing a cultural fit for the business.

ProGrad has been in Australia since 2005, and have grown dramatically over recent years.  This growth has been due to the efforts of our own graduate recruits who demonstrate genuine passion and flair for our business model. 

As a Business Development Executive within ProGrad, the role combines a B2B sales component with the involvement of assessment days and telephone screening initially.  The graduates have an intense induction period when joining ProGrad and are then on a career progression plan which ensures their ability to do all elements of the role within the first 12 months of joining.  Graduates then embark on a Management development program to ensure their continual development within the business.

ProGrad are expanding into the US market in 2010, and will also be offering international travel to employees over the forthcoming years to ensure further development of their careers.

If you’re keen on knowing more about the ProGrad roles and our in-house graduate program, please contact us on 02 8235 8300 or email info@prograd.com.au
