Happy Christmas From GRB

Hi

After a week in the sun I have come back to freezing temperatures and snow! In my absence a lot has been happening with several placements made and meetings about our business plan for 2010.

Many of our clients are still interviewing graduates right up to Christmas Eve so we don't wind down completely for a week yet. Many recruiters want to get offers out before Christmas so they have new people starting in the New Year. In fact, our first ever job offer was on Christmas Eve 1996!

Our staff dinner is on 22nd December at a local restaurant then we shut the office on Christmas Eve at 2pm and return to work on the 4th January. May I take this opportunity to wish you and your families seasons greetings and a prosperous New Year.

Best regards

Dan Hawes

Get Your CV Done Now


Hi

It's December already and it's not long until term ends so we have noticed students are rushing around getting projects in or revising so save some time and email us your CV now and we can do all the hard work of job searching while you focus on your studies.

I've been zipping up to London this week attending various seminars and graduate recruitment events and can report that the market is still optimistic for 2010 but growth will be slow. It probably won't return to the norm as the economy has permanently adjusted to this new enviroment but with that comes many opportunities with thousands of employers that are not perhaps City base or FTSE listed. Our consultants have many contacts within this hidden job market and, if you want, we can focus our efforts on searching out graduate opportunities within this job sector.

Finally, if you are looking for good deals on your mobile phone we have teamed up with a partner site which compares pay monthly phones and pay as you go prices - check it out here.

I am off to Twickenham tomorrow for the Barbarian's v. All Blacks game and am then on leave next week. Catch up with you all in a fortnight.

Best regards

Dan
