"To say I found the graduate recruitment process daunting is an understatement. Even the idea of calling Barrie for an initial discussion made me nervous. I shouldn’t have worried however, as Barrie has a wonderful way of making you feel at ease, help identify your strengths and enable you to articulate these in the best possible way."

Perfect your appearance
Top Tip from the M & S online team
There’s nothing worse than being called in for an interview and having nothing appropriate to wear. Even if you don’t have much of a budget, always have your smart interview outfit ready in case you’re called in last minute.
(for men) Invest in a smart jacket or blazer, comfortable shoes and a pressed clean shirt to make your vital first impression count. See more advice on what to wear to an interview and visit the men’s suits area of the M&S site.
(for women) Get some ideas for smart dressing at the Women's Suits and Tailoring section of the M&S site.
Visit the Job Blog for entertaining and useful advice on graduate jobs and how to get them, plus articles on many aspects of graduate employment
Check out our Top Job Alerts for great job opportunities to apply for NOW! (Be quick because some closing dates are very soon)
The mantra for graduate job applicants should be "preparation, preparation, preparation".
Graham Keating, Careers Consultant at the Manchester Leadership Programme, Careers & Employability Division, The University of Manchester
Hard Facts:
* Up to 80% of online applications fail
* Most CVs end up in the bin within 20 seconds
* Good people fail at Telephone Interviews
* Excellent candidates fail at Face-to-Face interview!
* Competency or Behavioural Interviews are taking over
* New graduates are finding it harder and harder to get a decent job
"Did you know that for 73% of employers a badly presented and written CV is more of a turn-off than turning up late, wearing inappropriate clothes or swearing during the interview?
Most irritating mistakes are misspelling employer's name, grammatical errors, including irrelevant information and having inappropriate e-mail addresses."
