I spent the whole of today at a career fair for placement students. Companies attending span from aerospace software to Barclays. Companies that stood out to me were Enterprise -a rent a car company that only promotes from within the companies, so every higher up role is earned through climbing the ladder. Next - we all know next but their representative especially shined to me as she is currently on a placement year and spent a lot of time trying to help me find the right role if I was to go into the company giving great amounts of detail in everything and finally, Boots- due to the sheer volume of opportunities offered to placement students who took part after graduation. After this, I went to a talk by 3 alumni who had roles with placement. This was quite useful as it provided the perspective of a current placement student, a graduate, and a recruitment officer for a company.
