Hey,

Happy New Year..

Following on from my last blog that seems ages ago now, I have had the experience of a formal interview for a place on a company’s graduate geotechincs scheme. It was a useful experience, I had to travel to East Croydon for the interview however when I got there my interview was only 40 minutes.. One main aspect of the whole interview experience is that practice and understanding the company you applied for. I also had a mock interview with the careers service at University which was really helpful.

Since the interview I have networked with several members of another company, where I had the opportunity to go to an open evening in Leeds where I meet people with the same discipline as my chosen degree, which was extremely useful. I have also been to the Newcastle office also which is one of the offices that I have applied to.

So the point of this blog is networking within a company is useful as it shows how keen you are for the position that is advertised.
