Getting career ready
Research time
Summer is the ideal time to prepare for when most vacancies open in the Autumn. (You’ll still find lots of opportunities on Gradcracker all year round – often individual jobs from smaller companies.)
Use Gradcracker to explore different sectors and companies, and ‘Follow’ your favourite employers to receive relevant job alerts.

Autumn is the busiest time on Gradcracker, when most employers advertise their opportunities. Apply as early as possible, as positions may close sooner than expected. If you like it, go for it!
After applying...
You might be wondering: “What happens next if my application is successful?” Most employers share their recruitment process on their Gradcracker Company Hub, with hints and tips on how to stand out at each stage. The employer’s recruitment team will also contact you directly to explain the next steps and guide you through the process.
Hot Tip:
Use the ‘Shortlist’ feature on Gradcracker to save your favourite jobs to your personal Dashboard, make notes, and track your applications’ progress.
