Barclays-sponsored application program, Insurance Insight days and AI takes more jobs...
Got recognised at a day party last weekend, which is a sign that my personal brand has to change. (I type this as my boys are sending in day parties for this weekend)
They even grabbed my LinkedIn in the motive. We calling this #daypartymethod?
Anyways, back to the important stuff…
We signed Barclays, now it’s time to get you ready
As some of you may know, we’ve signed with Barclays to be their Talent attraction partner. What this means is that we’ll be supporting them in the recruiting of talent for all their early career opportunities e.g. spring weeks, internships and graduate schemes
We now need to get you all ready to put your best foot forward. Because really and truly, we want you to land the roles.
So we’re running a 4-week application academy program across August to get you all ready and prepared which will culminate in our first (of many) live event with Barclays.
The 4 sessions across the 4 weeks will cover
CV Prep
Approaching Your Job Search
How to leverage LinkedIn
