Guests this week
Charlotte Lytton, a third year English literature and philosophy student at the University of Birmingham and blogger, who is hoping to get onto a grad scheme when she finishes her degree, talks to us about her hopes and fears for her career.
We're also joined by Robert Farace, who is responsible for recruiting to the NHS Graduate programme, internship scheme and other fast track senior management programmes, and Hannah Salton, graduate recruitment manager at BT. They reveal what level of knowledge and experience you will need to catch their eye and some tips for applications.
