Tell me a little bit about when and how you heard about Gradguide. What were your thoughts about career and jobs at that time? Did you have a clear understanding or idea of what you were looking for?
In August 2020, I finished a Master’s degree in International Business. At the time, I had a clear view that I wanted to work in the tech industry. Tech is the driving force behind so many things now. I wanted to get into that world, and work for a fast-paced company. After researching various tech opportunities, I was set on working in Sales and Business Development. However, I didn’t know how to get there or how to find such an opportunity. I also quickly realized that job hunting during the pandemic wasn’t easy. A friend told me about Gradguide, as he was friends with one of the co-founders. I decided to reach out as I figured any help would be better than browsing LinkedIn aimlessly, without a clear structure and method to my job search.
Before Gradguide, I didn’t realize the sheer number of tech companies in Ireland. I was aware of the big-tech companies; Google, Facebook, LinkedIn but I was blown away by the number of new, emerging and established technology companies that were out there – companies that looked and sounded exciting, but I didn’t know anything about them.
Once I was with Gradguide, I became aware from their social media, LinkedIn and website that they have extensive industry knowledge and connections in the industry. When I began working with my mentor, I was amazed by the different types of companies and opportunities he advised me about. Gradguide helped me land a dream job, and for that, I will be forever grateful I signed up to their program.
Please share your experience with Gradguide. Did you have a mentor? What types of job opportunities did you learn about?
I was very lucky to have been introduced to an incredible mentor, Matthew Brennan, who later became my colleague at Immedis. Completing a Master’s degree during a global pandemic and adding the job search to that was a challenge. However, working with my mentor provided me with a depth of industry knowledge to help me land a job. Because of Gradguide, I had a direct support to walk me through the process, provide advice, and keep me positive and motivated throughout the challenges of the process. My mentor was able to guide me through major issues that are critical for the job-hunting process, such as upskilling with online courses, meeting for ‘virtual coffees’ with individuals from different roles in different tech companies and preparing for interviews.
