Ok, the entire undergraduate list got an email last week for a jobs fair in Eastpoint Business Park.. “Leading multinational companies in EastPoint will be recruiting for 175 new roles in IT, sales, telecommunications, pharmaceutical services and HR consultancy including Quintiles, Citrix, Conduit, OSK, Peninsula and Oracle.” This was all well and good until we got out there..
We entered the room which was no bigger than the computer lab i’m currently in and there were 7 companies set up to talk to attendees.. Now as the taxi drove into Eastpoint we passed computer company after computer company but this room contained Citrix, who were only hiring people with 5 years experience using their software, and Oracle, who gave us an email for their graduate recruiter.. all in all a long day for just an email address..
