NESTLE Commercial Graduate Program

by ProGrad

The ProGrad recruitment drive has begun to source Nestle’s top graduates for their latest graduate recruitment drive across Australia.  Many of the pre-selected candidates have been asked to attend assessment days with ProGrad over forthcoming weeks, however if you havent yet applied and would like to be considered for a role, please contact our Graduate Recruitment Team at ProGrad on 02 8235 8300.  Virginia is one of our Graduate Recruiters helping Nestle with the intake, and she is looking for graduates with at least 12 months of commercial experience ready to embark on a rotational graduate program within this multinational. 

Nestle have an incredible culture and can offer a range of careers for graduates following a successful 2 year sales and marketing program.  Based at their offices, the graduates are exposed to a variety of brands and start their commercial career within their field sales team, looking after a designated territory.  Following a successful rotation here, the graduates also have the ability to move into Marketing. 

Nestle have a generous salary on offer for suitable candidates, along with various incentives to reward top performance and encourage longevity in their business.

Last year, the intake was hugely successful and Nestle have seen 100% retention with their graduate recruits.  This was also due to the rigorous screening that Nestle conduct, not only within the ProGrad assessment day but also using the Nestle values as a way of assessing a cultural fit.

The key attributes they are looking for include, confidence, strong communication skills, the ability to problem solve and think laterally, and the ability to work cohesively within a team environment.  Successful candidates last year demonstrated a real drive to be successful and a real passion for the Nestle brand.  The organisation is a true believer in hiring graduate talent and nurturing this talent through the business.  The opporutnities for successful candidates are endless within this organisation.

If you are a gradudate and you’re keen to explore the opportunity to apply for the Nestle Commercial Graduate Program, then please contact the ProGrad team on 02 8235 8300.  Alternatively, you can email virginia.wilson@prograd.com.au for more information.  We are accepting applications now, and will be reviewing them up until Monday 11th October.  Opportunities are available across Australia.

Module 2 – Melbourne 11th-12th February – Graduate Feedback -Part 2

by ProGrad

“While not everything was applicable, there were 4-5 key concepts that I am planning on trying over the next few weeks to see how they can work within my sales calls – I’m looking forward to giving it a go”

“Very well presented and I will implement this into my role”

“I found it hard to apply at first but now I get it. We really need to focus on sales, there is nurturing of a sales environment. I think training would really help emphasise the importance of the role. Thanks King!”

“Some areas will be extremely useful as I am in Account Management role without direct selling”

“At first I had trouble applying “S.P.I.N.” to my role but after practicing I could see that it would be useful. I like to hear other people opinions or certain areas and this is where discussion is useful”

“The information is useful for my the role I hope to more into but at the moment I’m only involved in small residential sales. Kingsley method of training is very effective.

“Very good. Kingsley has communicated the techniques in an easy manner to understand. The feedback from everyone is genuine and very helpful. Keep up the good work Kingsley and ProGrad”

“Structured approach to face to face sales. Kingsley is an effective trainer”

ProGrad and Graduatejobs

by ProGrad

ProGrad owns and maintains a graduate jobs board which can be found at www.graduatejobs.com.au

The intention of this website is to connect graduate job seekers with potential employers.  The service is free to use for graduates and prospective employers and hopes to solve any issues around the difficulties currently experienced from job seekers at the entry-level.

ProGrad is a graduate recruitment company, however in launching a graduate jobs board we do hope to ensure that graduates have a variety of options regardless of their career objectives.  At ProGrad, our core specialisation is in placing graduates into B2B sales roles.  Clearly not all graduates are interested in that line of work, and therefore graduatejobs.com.au offers an alternative.

We hope that the jobs board will start to grow organically over forthcoming months and years and we hope to leave it as a free service to utilise.  If ever you have any questions about the service, for job seekers or for employers – please contact our office on 02 8235 8300.
