Apply for a graduate vacancy or 12month placement
Employers use a range of selection techniques when hiring for their graduate and undergraduate opportunities. These help them to assess your skills, strengths and qualities to decide whether you’ll be a good fit for their organisation. (It’s also a chance to see if the organisation is a good fit for you!)
While companies can differ in the selection techniques they use, there are a number of common techniques used by employers across the graduate and undergraduate hiring process. Whether they are a large corporation or an SME they will often be assessing you for similar skills and attributes.
