Year in Business Speed Recruitment Event - March 4th 2019
On Monday evening our School of Management Year in Business students came out to talk to a 12 companies at our Speed Recruitment style event. I would like to express a huge thank you to the representatives from Box, Cherith Simmons, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Hitachi Europe, MGN Events, PiXL , Ricoh, Surrey Chamber of Commerce, Take -Two Interactive, Teachitright, Veenus and Wilkins Kennedy who joined us at Royal Holloway.
We were particularly pleased to see current Royal Holloway YIBs talking about their company placement schemes. Kane Nelhams did his placement with Enterprise as a Management trainee at the Slough branch last year and is currently the Enterprise Campus brand manager and talked to students about Enterprise opportunities. Final year YIB Leen Tarazi did a Marketing placement at Hitachi Europe last year and joined her manager to talk to 2nd year YIBs about Marketing openings at the company in 2019/20. Sabeeta Gill is currently doing a Digital marketing placement at Ricoh and shared her experiences with current YIBs as did Rameen and Juree who are currently working at PiXL
Small groups of students moved around the room every 5 minutes talking to different companies about the range of placements available and seeing if there was a suitable match. When they bell rang the students moved on! They heard about a range of positions including Accountancy, Finance, Events and Operations, HR, Marketing, Product Support and Sales
It was good to see the students' enthusiasm to secure a placement and to hear positive feedback from the Companies about the students they talked to and the types of questions they had been asked.
The Careers' Consultant Louise Ogle and Dr Catherine Harbor/ Katharine Radford from the Placements Place also manned tables and offered advice and answered questions raised by the Year in Business students.
Over the last couple of years, a number of our YIBs secured placements on the back of attending our Speed Recruitment evening. We are looking forward to hearing how the YIBs this year get on.
More details of the placements being offered can be found on the Year in Business moodle page and via the YIB weekly bulletin email.
