The office is buzzing, excitement is in the air, and everyone is in preparation mode…It must mean ProGrad;s assessment day is being held today! Everyone in the office comes on board to ensure it’s a great day for the graduates attending.

If you are a graduate who is coming along today it is probably a good idea to have lunch before the day as we probably won’t have time for a break. You are welcome to bring a bottle of water along too!

If you are having problem’s preparing for the assessment day feel free to get in contact with your graduate manager and they will be happy to help you. We can assist you with your speech and let you know if you are heading in the right direction, and also give you a few hints and tips

We aim for the assessment day to be a great experience for everyone! But at the end of the day unfortunately we cannot make everyone successful. If you are not successful today, do not loose hope!

There are actually many times where we have placed candidates in positions that have not been successful on the day. I myself, was unsuccessful on a ProGrad assessment day, but I managed to score a position within ProGrad itself!

We also hope that you come away with much information about how to be successful when attending interviews and how to better construct your resume. We hope our assessment days are a valuable experience for everyone.

Good luck today!

base salary, business sales, different sectors, dot points, full time job, Graduates, money, own boat, website www

Stuck for ideas after uni? Not quite sure what you wnat to do or where you want to go? Have you considered making yourself a three year plan? You may be scrunching up your face right now, but it doesn’t have to be tedious. Just have a think about what you would like to do. It could even be three dot points. For example: 1. Move out of home 2. Secure a full time job 3. Progress in the company that you are working for.

I recently heard an interesting goal from someone who came through ProGrad’s assessment day. She wanted to own her own boat in her 20′s so that her and her friends will enjoy partying on it. I thought it was a great goal and she is determined to achieve this goal by starting her career somewhere where she will make a lot of money.

If your goal or three year plan is similar and you would like to earn quite a bit of money in your 20′s, then we may have the avenue for you.

Here at ProGrad we place graduates in business to business sales roles within a variety of different sectors. These positions are a great way for graduates to make big bucks, with a great base salary and commission and bonuses on top of that which can potentially score you that boat in your 20′s!!!

calibre graduates, ears, heart, journey, looking for a job, palms, pool, resume, telephone interview, workforce

Here at ProGrad we hold assessment days for a pool of high calibre graduates that have been fortunate to pass our telephone interview.

Prior to my position at ProGrad, I attended one of the assessment days. Palms sweaty and my heart beating in my ears, I decided to take the opportunity that was presented to me and it proved worthwhile. Not only did I secure a job with ProGrad, but I also learnt some valuable hints and tips about how to conduct myself in the workforce and business realm.

Now I am thankful to say I am on the other side and involved in running the assessment days. Personally, I think the assessment days are very valuable to any graduate and can help immensely when looking for a job.

Here are some things that I took away from ProGrad’s assessment day:

- You have the opportunity to source out your competition
- You learn some valuable things about how to conduct yourself in an interview
- you get to enjoy the experience with others
- You have the opportunity to build your network
- You get to broaden your knowledge
- You receive some much needed advice about how to build your resume!

Proactive graduate – taking advantage of every opportunity

experiences, horizons, job, pool, possibilities, rare experience, sphere

Would you consider yourself a proactive graduate? What are you doing to secure yourself a job in this highly competitive graduate pool?

ProGrad’s advice would be to take advantage of every opportunity that is thrown your way. Secure an interview? Why would you pass it up? You may argue that certain interviews do not fit in your sphere of interest so why bother attending? Have you considered that even though you may not want the position, just attending the interview could be vital to your next career?

Take every opportunity as experience and learn from these experiences. You never know what you will learn and take away and make you a stronger candidate for another interview. Who knows what opportunites could also arise from attending that oine interview? The possibilities are endless.

Keep your horizons broad, attend everything you can and keep your eye out for that rare experience or opportunity!
