As the economy crawls out of recession, one of the UKs top university students has landed a graduate job in only 4 weeks with the help of Graduate Recruitment Bureau (GRB). Dan Hawes, GRB co-founder says, "Kristy was identified as a particularly outstanding student and we included her on our exclusive shortlist of the top 50 final year students in the UK, Rising Stars. My team of recruitment consultants have invited then rigorously screened and selected exceptional students over the last six months published their CVs online and watched recruiters flock to peruse these Rising Stars."
Rising Stars was launched in response to the most competitive job market to face this year's graduates. Dan Hawes says "With so many high-calibre finalists registering with us, we felt duty bound to go the extra mile this year and try and secure as many of them graduate jobs before they leave in the summer. That way it takes some of the pressure off these students so they can concentrate on getting a good exam grade in the knowledge that they have a well paid job ahead of the 270,000 other finalists and 7 million others from across the EU before they flood the market."
Kristy, a Physics student from UCL, explains how it worked out for her, "I first heard about the Rising Stars list was through an email sent to me by GRB. I thought I would apply and fortunately I managed to be one of the lucky applicants. Within a month of being on the list, I was approached by GRB. They told me that a global geophysical services company was interested in me and after looking at their website I knew that it was the ideal job for me. I particularly liked it as it allowed me to put my Physics degree to good use. The interview process consisted of a slide show describing the company and what my job would entail. I had a tour around the office and had an 'informal chat' with the VP of the company. After only a week of waiting, I finally heard that they had made me a job offer. Of course I accepted and am now due to start working in July. I owe a lot to GRB; the employees are extremely supportive, friendly and genuinely want you to succeed. I would thoroughly recommend signing up with the GRB and to apply for the Rising Stars list. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris and Dan. I very much appreciate everything they have done for me."
