WHAT CAN YOU DO?
31
Attitude, Aptitude and Adaptability
differentiate the best from the average.
SPREAD THE RISK
Those who are unsure what job they want to
do should opt for a general course such as
business or management studies, as it could be
suitable for many types of career. Another
option is to take a joint degree, such as a
language and business, which combines a
specialist subject with a general course.
32
GET AHEAD BY VOLUNTEERING
Were looking for exceptional, rounded,
ambitious individuals who can show
sustained involvement in activities other
than the purely academic, such as work
experience, industrial placements and
voluntary work in the UK or abroad.
Becky Wareham, graduate recruitment manager, Waitrose
33
STAND OUT
Some of our most successful employees have
captained a rugby team or been president of the
students union. One of the biggest frustrations we
have is meeting students with the same CVs and
answers as if they have all been prepped in the
same way. At interview we try to assess behaviour
as much as any work experience to give us a sense
of the future a candidate might have with our
company.
Katy Smith, resourcing partner, Endsleigh
Insurance Services
34
BE PASSIONATE
We are after people with a can-do attitude,
enthusiasm, interpersonal skills and the drive and
ambition to make an impact. Softer skills such as
collaboration are also valued, especially as
employees often have to work with a variety of
people outside their immediate team. For us, its
less about what youve studied and more about
why you want to work for us and what you can
bring.
Theresa McHenry, human resources director,
Microsoft
35
STUDY WHAT YOU LIKE, BUT BE CLEAR ABOUT
YOUR CAREER
We want to employ bright, intelligent
students with inquisitive minds. We are totally
non-specific in terms of the degree taken. We
are also keen to see candidates who have
gained work experience in industry and are able
to demonstrate a real intent to pursue a career
in research, marketing and communications.
Tricia Moon, director at personal relations and
marketing group, Bell Pottinger
