Katherine Wood reports on the leading recruiters at the ULCS London Graduate Recruitment Fair
As well as traditional graduate training schemes, visitors seeking a more adventurous route after university will find an “Alternative Options Zone”, designed specifically for those wanting to pursue a gap year or summer placement abroad. Jeff Riley, careers adviser at the University of London, explains that graduates should not underestimate the benefit of some time out as it “gives you time to consider career or study options and, if planned carefully, can compensate for any lack of work experience on your CV”. For example, GEOS Language is offering paid teaching positions in Japan while Coral Cay Conservation is recruiting volunteers to assist in conserving marine and terrestrial environments in the Philippines, Malaysia, Fiji and Honduras - it offers full scientific and scuba diving training.
