Work Experience Sector Sponsored by Ernst and Young
Voluntary work or work experience are two of the best ways to improve your CV and gain hands-on experience of the ‘real world’.
Work experience is often ignored by students, who presume it only means making coffee, photocopying and stuffing envelopes. But in reality, employers are keen to see that you have some experience of the job market, a willingness to learn, and some variety in the kind of environments where you have worked.
Read our case studies of graduates who did work experience and find out how it benefited them. Find expert advice on how to get the right placements for yourself in our articles. Also, check out our employer profiles to see what they require from work experience applicants.
