Graduate Job Search Support: step by step through graduate recruitment cycles
Empowering Your Graduate Transition : University to Career
If you are a 2024 graduate, last June you may have started work on gaining graduate employment or your first ‘career’ role. How is it going so far? If you are finding it daunting, you are not alone. 2025 has seen a huge increase in applications to graduate employers. Why? Due to the ease of AI applications and an overall reduction in employer graduate recruitment schemes. Don’t let this put you off. My Careers Tutor can hand hold you through the process and motivate you to win an ideal role. Fed up with approaching this alone? Confused as to why no positive result yet? Let us help.
Just some of the graduate questions we cover:
How do I decide which industry, which sector and which role type to start my career with? Which careers would suit my personality best? Which skills should I learn whilst applying? How can I use my experience so far to create relevant evidence on my CV? How should I research companies effectively before applying? How should I prepare to take ability tests? And many more….
How does it work? Where we start :
1. Comprehensive Career Review
Why It Matters: Understanding your core skills, career drivers, values and overall life goals is essential for identifying career pathways.
The Approach Melanie conducts a detailed review of your preferences, skills, values and needs to help you identify the best sectors to launch your career.
2. Graduate Job Search Strategy
Why It Matters: Job search is complex and competitive- no clear strategy usually results in no success. Let us help you change this.
The Approach: you will learn to develop a targeted job search strategy and identify the right graduate employers, graduate recruitment schemes, global and SME organisation to target and you will be supported to apply, each time.
3. CV, Cover Letter and LinkedIn Profile Support
Why It Matters: Your self marketing collateral is a key tool in your job search. Graduates must effectively showcase skills and experiences - with clear evidence- show, not tell.
The Approach: Melanie provides feedback to enhance your Master CV, CV edits, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile, ensuring each stands out to potential employers.
4. Digital or In Person Interviews and Assessment Centre Preparation
Why It Matters: Graduate recruitment involves multiple layers of interviews and testing. How do you stand out each time? How do you keep the energy up?
The Approach: via 1:1 coaching, helping you build confidence and perform at your best.
5. Job Search and Application Management
Why It Matters: Managing multiple job applications and staying organised can be overwhelming.
The Approach: Melanie shows you how to project manage your job applications, offering support throughout the recruitment process to ensure you stay on top of deadlines and requirements.
