..."Grad Application Advice of the Graduates, by the Graduates, for the Graduates".


We have designed the website with the massive help of Cambridge, Oxford, Sheffield and Warwick Uni Graduates to identify and eliminate the unnecessary steps involved when applying for a job role. 


You should Register now with us because we understand and have solved many of the difficulties you experience when simultaneously applying for jobs and studying, especially in light of the recent recession with the ever increasing application rejection rate and competition per student job role.

Grad Application Advice will help you successfully apply for specific jobs and prepare for specific interviews in the quickest way possible so that you avoid the dreaded question:


What happens if I am offered a conditional job role contract but do not get the degree grade required because I sacrificed too much of my studying time so that I could send off job applications and attend interviews??"

Unlike other job websites, we can help you search for AND ALSO prepare and apply for specific job roles.

 

For each role on the website, employers provide detailed information about themselves and each role they are recruiting for including details related to each stage in their application process, so you know what to expect and how to deal with each stage including the intial interview stage.

 

We are also the first graduate website that caters for dyslexic and non-dyslexic students alike.  We have used a simple layout and consistent colour co-ordinated schemes so that you can quickly understand and absorb role and employer information.


You can search for any of the following undergraduate and graduate opportunities:
  • Apprenticeships
  • Internships
  • Work Placements
  • Graduate Schemes
  • Part Time roles
  • Gap Year roles


You should refer to our Grad Application Advice Centre for full information on how to successfully apply in 1-2 hours.

 

In brief, in any application you make, you should demonstrate that:

  • You have researched the role and employer.
  • You possess the skills and qualifications that the employer desires.

 

After searching for job roles opportunities on Grad Application Advice and clicking on a role, the information provided about the role and employer is detailed and tailored so that you can research the role and employer quickly and in the depth that is required to complete the application form quickly and in one sitting.

Although other job websites meet employer’s requirements, they are out of sync with the requirements of undergraduates & graduates.

 

Grad Application Advice meets both the employers and undergraduate & graduate students’ requirements.

 

We have achieved this by designing several employer services working closely in conjunction with students from and to tailor the services so that the specific needs of students are also met.

 

The result of this is that Grad Application Advice is an Essential Online Research Facility for undergraduates & graduates at each stage in their job hunt and is therefore equally an essential Online Marketing Tool for Employers from which Employers will benefit greatly.


Undergraduates and Graduates accept us an as Essential Online Research Facility.  Hence, throughout their job hunt, they will continuously visit Grad Application Advice.

 

This is very important to any undergraduate/graduate role marketing campaign you run as these undergraduates and graduates are more likely to visit your Employer Binder and open any emails you send to them.

 

Compared to other online services we will save you time, money and effort when recruiting undergraduates and graduates enabling you to secure more qualified and better employees.

We are primarily an Online Marketing Company that operates within the recruitment industry. 

 

However, we do have a system in place that allows us to identify undergraduates and graduates that meet your exact requirements.


The benefits of this are that you can run Email Campaigns targeted at specific groups of students and can also inform us of Vacancies you have that need filling and we can immediately inform you of candidates that meet your requirements.



Currently we have utilised the latest internet technology to offer an ‘Employer Binder’ and ‘CV Search’ service and are working on providing you an ‘Email Marketing’ service.

 

Each of these services are cost effective, innovative and are an efficient way to secure your business's future.

 

 

Please refer to our Employers Information page to learn more about these services in detail.



As a ‘next generation’ job website, our marketing techniques differ to our competitors. 

 

We are concentrating on marketing ourselves with a careful blended combination of the traditional “Outbound Marketing” techniques and the 'next generation' “Inbound Marketing” techniques.

 

Outbound Marketing Techniques in general involve a company finding prospective clients and informing them about their service.  We plan on attending

Career Fairs and building strong relationships with University Career Departments so that we create a strong brand presence on University campuses.

 

Inbound Marketing Techniques are completely opposite in that they focus on allowing a client to find out about a product as and when they require it.  We are utilising the internet's unlimited marketing capabailities including social networking platforms and search engine optimisation so that when undergraduates and graduates start looking for jobs, they find and use Grad Application Advice first and immediately.

 

The benefit of our marketing approach is that it allows for us to continue building a strong brand name quickly and in a sustained manner so that we are not just a 'one hit wonder'.

 

Within 1 week of utilising the internet’s marketing capabilities, we have attracted approximately 500 students from top 5 Universities to sign up to our newsletter so that we can inform them when we start added employers onto the website.


No not at all! 

 

You are always in control of what information is displayed on the website about yourself and the job roles you are recruiting for.

 

In accordance with our Terms and Conditions of Use Agreement, you must answer all mandatory questions when adding a role to the site or adding information about yourself.  These questions are mandatory because they will save applicants a lot of time that would have otherwise been wasted on unnecessary tasks.

 

For example applicants should not have to waste time learning about the structure of your corporate website before they can navigate around it to find out about you.  Our solution is to allow you place specific and direct hyperlinks to relevant pages of your corporate website.

 

Another example is that by displaying competency questions (and associate word counts) within a role description, you are saving applicants at least 5-10 minutes as they can prepare their answers immediately and fill in the application form in one sitting.  Otherwise they will have to log into the application form, copy and paste the questions into a word processing package before they are at this stage.

 

As you can see from these exampls, your systems are not undermined at all.


We fully cater for Employer's recruitment requirements.

 

You can add, edit and delete as many roles as you wish in your simple to use Role CMS (content management system).

 

Log into your admin panel, click on “add/edit a role” and fill out the details and click "update" and the role is added to the Graduate Role Search Engine.  Do this for each role you wish to add.

 

Furthermore, the beauty about your Role CMS is that you can add and edit the information displayed in the role overview at any point in time. You can even make the role "in-active" for any duration so that graduates cannot view details for the role and when you start accepting applications for the role again, simply make it "Active" again.

 

Whether the role is an apprenticeship, internship, work placement, graduate scheme and/or part time/gap year project this will appear in your Employer Directory and each role will be individually searchable by students. 

 


Recruitment Agencies may only add job roles to the website in their 'Employer Binder' if they are vacancies that they are trying to fill WITHIN their organisiation.

You are not permitted to post any roles on behalf of any of your clients.

We are working on making a service available for this however we are not a Job Board.

We have a CV Search service available for Recruitment Agencies if you wish to find, compare and save undergraduates and graduates so that you can contact them about a role that may be of interest to them and your client.
