On Thursday 21st May, the RateMyPlacement Team attended the TargetJobs National Graduate Recruitment Awards 2009. Held in the awesome setting that was the Grosvenor Hotel, Park Lane, we were treated to spending an evening with 600-700 people all with the same interest of graduate recruitment… The evening was hosted by Alan Carr, now before I…
 Series 2 of the new comedy The Inbetweeners is out and showing on E4 every Thursday… As a big fan of the show – which is all about four school students and their trials and tribulations growing up – I was sent a preview of the second episode out this Thursday… all about work…
Throughout the ages the 13th November has been a momentous day for many. In 1955 Whoopi Goldberg was born, in 1971 the American space probe, Mariner 9, became the first spacecraft to orbit another planet (Mars) and now in 2008, we have a monumental occasion to celebrate for many years to come…. RateMyPlacement.co.uk received its…

A short 20 minute drive on the M32 took us into the heart of Bristol and to Bristol University’s Careers Centre. Similar to Cardiff University the day before, Bristol traditionally haven’t had a huge placements focus but we aim to have a decent presence there this year to focus on students looking to do summer…
< p style=”clear: none”>A simple drive back on the M4 to Bristol took us to UWE. We arrived slightly early and decided to get the laptop out for an hour, however the lady in the canteen wasn’t keen on us ‘using her electricity’ so we had to find a computer lab! Bizarre start but highly…
