Graduate vacancies and internships.. which company to choose?

'Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. With so much to do such as assignments, dissertations, and exams; the last thing some students want to think about is applying to graduate schemes and internships. However, with most schemes closing in October and all closing by January, if you want to take the 'traditional' route you will have to be quick! I think this puts extreme pressure on students. To ease this pressure, the Careers and Study Skills Zone is offering free copies of graduate employer directories. These free directories will be a useful tool in understanding the options/companies available and 'hints and tips' on creating successful applications. Nevertheless, I would like to emphasis that large graduate schemes are not the only route to a 'successful' careers. There are many options and paths, so don't get overwhelmed with applying to numerous schemes or disheartened if you don't get accepted.'
