The Gradconsult blog

By Rhea Chokshi Over the summer, I was lucky enough to work as a Digital Marketing Intern at Gradconsult. As I neared the end of my second year at the University of Nottingham studying Chemistry, I thought about how I could use the skills I’d obtained from my degree and bring my experiences into the working world and within a sector I was interested in. This brought me to Gradconsult, a place where I could gain hands-on experience, work within a team of consultants and develop my marketing skills. The application process While studying, it can be really useful to ... read more

By Georgia Lee To set the scene. I’d just completed my second year at the University of Nottingham studying History and had been looking for an opportunity to get my first real taste of the world of marketing. Coming from a degree unrelated specifically to marketing, I had been fortunate enough to participate in a Digital Marketing course within my university. However, I was yet to gain real hands-on experience within the sector. That’s where Gradconsult comes in! Following an application process including a virtual interview I was offered the role and was set to start in the next few ... read more

I am Zac, I’m in Year 10, and I just completed a week of work experience with Gradconsult. In my week at Gradconsult, I have learned a lot of helpful skills that will surely help me now and in the near future. On my first day, I got a complete tour of the Workstation, and then attempted (and failed) a baby picture quiz to get to know the staff. Later that day, I organized the Gradconsult library, and made an excel document so the office knew where all the books are. I then went for lunch with Ollie and Amy ... read more

At the start of my internship at Gradconsult I knew one thing about my future career path: I wanted to get onto a graduate scheme. They promised real ... read more

As tea time was rapidly approaching, I was supposed to sit down and write something about my day with Gradconsult. What to mention? What was the key point of the day? What did I learn? To help me answer these questions, I had to remind myself of why I came to Gradconsult in the first place. Surprise, surprise, it was for career advice. I hadn’t been to University (worked in the media sector after my A-Levels) and recently moved to Sheffield from Poland, so I was looking for guidance, some information, and a well-informed source that would be able to ... read more

It is hard to believe that a week could go so fast, but unfortunately it has. I have enjoyed my week here at Gradconsult immensely, and not just because of the free lunches! All the team were lovely, and I really got to know the fun side of office life. The office is in a large building, and the room itself has a fun blackboard wall for people to write their ideas and inspiring quotes, and now it has my wonderful Christmas tree on too. As well as helping the team with the day-to-day running of the business, I have ... read more
