Worldwide graduate struggles?

March 17, 2010 by Nicola · Leave a Comment 

More statistics have been released to suggest that graduates are going back to university to study again. This is due to the lack of positions available for graduate students in the workforce. Australia is not the only country that has been effected with the lack of positions available for graduates, the UK are also very aware of this situation.

You can view the article and stats here.

Feeling a little helpless just after graduating?

February 14, 2010 by Nicola · Leave a Comment 

Some people graduate University and discover that what they have been studying for the last four years is not the direction they want to head in life at all.

We have heard this story numerous times so at ProGrad so we do not assess people on their degree and what they passed and failed, but rather on the key competencies that they show as a person.

If you think that you are a graduate who is ambitious, confident, and has excellent written and verbal communication skills then we will have the position for you!

The positions ProGrad offer are in business to business sales with great earning potential and bonus packages.

ProGrad is Australia’s leading assessment, training and placement company for graduate students.

Why business to business sales?

February 14, 2010 by Nicola · Leave a Comment 

Business to business sales is a great way for a graduate to launch their corporate career. In a B2B sales role graduates will be working with the sales and marketing director and they will get to know the company’s products and services, and also their key clients.

Without B2B sales a company will fail to produce revenue and therefore cease to exist at all. B2B sales is imperative to any organisation and will give a graduate the opportunity to work on the front line and earn high levels of respect, by driving new business opportunities and carrying a high level of responsibility.

There are many pro’s in B2B sales and the main one is money. There is high earning potential in sales. Another great sales advantage is the high rewards and getting recognition from senior management. This type of role also will expose a graduate to high level business conversations and give envied access to senior management.
