Guest Blog: Finding a job once it's all over!

GradFutures is a fast-growing graduate recruitment website, launched two years ago by a team of graduates as a response to the poor quality of graduate recruitment websites out there. It provides not only up-to-date and comprehensive information on graduate schemes and internships, but also advice, comment and down-to-earth analysis to help you succeed in your job hunt.

Why should you use GradFutures?
At a really basic level we make your job hunting experience easier - we list information on over 1000 graduate jobs in one place, so you don't have to spend hours scouring through the web, flicking through every company's careers site. But we go further in our effort to be the best graduate recruitment website - for example:

  • Many of us are recent graduates (I graduated last year), so we have a pretty good idea of what you are going through and how we can help - we've been there!
  • We don't spam our users with loads of irrelevant job suggestions (it still amazes me how many companies get away with doing this). We very carefully hand-pick exactly the right candidates for each job position that we email out.
  • As we are a small company, we can provide a much more personal service, responding directly and quickly to any questions or problems you are having (I know this, because I'm often the person who responds!)
  • Our website is designed to make it as easy as possible for job-hunting. For example, we have absolutely no distracting adverts and the website is constantly evolving and improving.
  •  Our business model (won't bore you with the specifics) means that we can list more companies than other sites, including some very interesting smaller companies that aren't listed on other recruitment websites!

How can we help language students?
When you sign-up to GradFutures, you complete a fairly thorough profile. This isn't to have you weep as you complete yet another form in the application process (it doesn't take very long, honest!), it's actually so that we can target you with exactly the right kind of jobs for your skills and qualifications, when they come up. So for you students and graduates fortunate enough to have languages in your skills armoury, simply specify this when you're completing your profile; when jobs come up that are particularly relevant to graduates who speak specific languages, we'll make sure that you hear about them. Job-hunting, when done properly, really can be that simple.
