Where are all the great graduates?
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Prompted by a NZ Herald article about the shortage of jobs for graduates we advertised a graduate role on Seek recently. What a disappointment!!!!
- Only 30 or so responses
- 80% from outside NZ
- 85% didn’t bother with a cover letter, despite us requesting one
- With the remainder the cover letter was generic and/or clearly aimed at a job that wasn’t the one we offered
- It appeared that no-one actually visited our website to find out what it is that we actually do.
Where are NZ’s best and brightest?
