Careers consultant: job description

The effective exchange of information is essential in business. Learn what communication skills are and how to demonstrate them throughout the recruitment process: when applying, at interview and when giving presentations.

Graduates who demonstrate their analytical thinking during a job interview or assessment centre will stand out from other candidates.

If a graduate job involves project management, teamwork or working with clients, recruiters are likely to seek influencing skills. But what are influencing skills?

Graduates with good commercial awareness are conscious of how economic and political trends can impact on their chosen industry and the employers they have applied to.
