Work experience 'key to obtaining graduate sales jobs'
Those looking at graduate sales jobs should ensure they supplement their CV with work experience, an expert asserts.
Barclaycard's Helen Eastern claims that the practical element is often ignored by those at university but could prove crucial when applying for sales vacancies.
She asserts that while academic credentials and a background at a reputable higher educational establishment are helpful, these are often given too much importance.
Her comments were made at a meeting of the Bright Futures Society, an event highlighting the importance of encouraging university students to focus on their career at an earlier stage.
She told attendees at the National Committee Training Event that they must not be complacent.
Earlier this month, director of talent at Harvey Nash Lisa Jobson warned that preparation is the key for those going to interviews for graduate sales jobs.
She claims that identifying who the relevant people are and what role they have is a key skill for applicants.
