The job market has never been more competitive and the need to stand out from the crowd has never been greater. As frustrating as it may seem, the best qualified candidate is not always the one that is offered the job.
More and more companies cannot afford to dedicate time and resources to the training of new recruits and now require that candidates have some experience in order to demonstrate their suitability for employment.
Work Placement Through Just IT: Gaining Vital Experience |
Over a number of years Just I.T. Recruitment has established many relationships with blue-chip companies who take on our candidates into 4-8 week work placements.
The placements will be with paid-for expenses (i.e. travel costs, lunch etc) or completely unpaid and offer no guarantee of a position. However many companies see this as an extended interview period and presently over 75% of companies will offer permanent positions to people who take on these placements and so demonstrate outstanding enthusiasm and technical knowledge.
The placement is not simply a ‘moving boxes and making tea job’, it is a genuine and professional opportunity that will build up and develop your technical ability in a commercial environment, which will give you invaluable skills on your CV.
With a keen desire and the skills provided through Just I.T. Training you will be ideally placed to take full advantage of your situation and get the best job possible.
Even if you are unsuccessful in retaining a position following your placement you will have built upon your training with practical commercial knowledge. Just the experience you were looking for! And of course Just I.T. Recruitment will continue to be active on your behalf by arranging interviews and providing other one-to-one support. So that it is not long before you are working in a permanent role and on your way up the I.T. ladder.
If you are an undergraduate or looking for a gap year placement, you can find work experience and undergraduate placements lasting from a few weeks to twelve months at the igapyear.com website.
