Question

My brother has graduated from university (with a degree in Computing and Geography), but is having a hard time finding work in IT.

I know some companys offer incentives for people they recommend (after their probationary period is up)

Can anyone help or recommend some agencies/websites/etc?

Thanks in advance
Andy

Ps - Please mail me (andy.tang@scoobynet.co.uk) and I will forward the information

I think my brother would like to stay in the South East for now.

Thanks

Andy

Just had a look on our corporate website. They do have a section on careers and submitting your CV - there is nothing specific about graduate recruitment, but it might be worth try. Details at Equant

Cheers

No worries, there is a reasonable grad intake at the company I am contracting at (npower, so big company!), if you don't hear anything drop me a line, no promises etc just be able to point him at the right people

Unhappy

Andy,

One problem is that at the moment, there are loads of out of work IT professionals with lots of experience so he may find it hard to find work for the forseeable future....

Sorry.

Thanks Seamus300!

Matt,

I know what you mean, but I know some companies are willing to pay graduates minimal money and train them up, rather than employ someone with the skills!! I was in the same boat!

Andy
