Hunters on the prowl

Article Abstract:

Some corporate recruitment consultants in the UK are now approaching undergraduates as potential recruits to their clients' management training schemes. It is also becoming more common for recruitment consultants to look to graduates who have already had some experience of work and are seeking a change of direction. Some employers are focusing their graduate recruitment efforts on a small number of universities, while others are sponsoring individual lectures. Recruitment experts believe that some employers make the mistake of using the cheapest recruitment consultants, which are often not specialist enough.

How to talk your way out of a job as a secretary...

Article Abstract:

A strong regional or working-class accent can be a distinct disadvantage for those seeking secretarial work in the UK, as employers generally prefer secretaries to have no noticeable accent at all. If people with a strong accent do manage to obtain secretarial work, then they may not be promoted. Attitudes towards accents are beginning to relax in certain sectors, but standard English is still strongly preferred in publishing, public relations and much of the media.
