Hop On To GradConnections Forums To Chat With Graduate Employers!
We are entering peak Graduate Recruitment season for 2013 Graduate programs meaning now is the time to do your research and decide where you want to apply for 2012 Graduate Programs.
When Are The Forums Happening?
From February to April Graduate Employers will be participating in GradConnection forum sessions to answer any questions you may have in relation to their Graduate Programs.
What Does This Mean For You?
As you may have read in our last newsletter, Employers were recently introduced to our new "Invite to Apply" functionality - meaning they can log in to their employer accounts on the GradConnection site, enter in some search criteria and view a list of students and graduates who fit that criteria.
From there, the graduate employers will check out each profile and choose who they want to invite to apply. If your profile is 100% complete, it will show you at the top, or closer to the top, of the search results - so make sure you're profile is the best you can make it, and you could be personally invited to apply for a position!
Some Tips To Make The Most Of The Forums
- As employers can click on your profile from forums and have a look at your profile (depending on your privacy settings), be sure to ask good questions, and write with the proper spelling and etiquette.
- Ask anything you can think of to help you decide on whether this is the right employer and program for you.
- Be sure to research the company well prior to quizzing the graduate employer
- Try to make your questions stand out if you want to be remembered by the employer - in depth questions about their program rather than information that is accessible on their profiles
Forum Timetable
Check out this confirmed forum timetable and make a note of when you need to be on the site to start chatting - these forum sessions will be held from 2 to 4pm (EST) on the date given below, and you can start posting questions a few hours before that.
If you are signed up to alerts to the employer or industry you want to hear about, you will receive an email on the morning of the forum as a reminder, with a direct link.
