I think everyone’s waking up to the fresh vibrancy of Aldi. I was canoeing down a fjord in New Zealand and these Americans were like ‘Hey do you work for Aldi? We LOVE Aldi!’. It was

so funny. Thing is, there’s lots to love, especially as a graduate. It’s very fast-paced with plenty of variety. I admire Aldi’s frugality and effi ciency; everything’s just incredibly well managed.

We’re all working in harmony and there’s a strong sense of combined purpose. If you really want this (and you’re prepared to work hard) you develop skills for life. And I like that.

Welcome to our Careers in Management and Business FairIt is great to see you at this year’s Careers in Management and Business Fair. With more than 90 companies attending, you can ignite your future in a wide range of careers – from marketing and PR to technology and supply chain, to name but a few. Many of the employers visiting us today have graduate jobs and internship opportunities in a number of business areas. You may be surprised by the range on offer.

Here are some key points to help you make the most of the fair:

• Watch out for the pink mortar board symbol in this guide – on these stands you will be able to chat to Nottingham graduates who are happily back on campus and are keen to meet you, whatever subject you are studying.

• For opportunities across the globe, visit our international stand in the gallery. For international students planning to return home or go elsewhere, or UK students looking to work overseas, it is definitely worth a visit.

• Want help with job hunting? Come to one of our workshops (see page 5 for details). These will set you up to find a graduate job and help you make great applications. No need to book – just turn up in good time to get your seat.

• To talk about your options with a careers adviser, or get your CV reviewed, head over to the gallery (up the stairs by the main entrance) where we’ll be happy to see you today. You might want to book an appointment when you arrive for later in the day to give you a chance to visit the employer stands first.

Our team are here to help you understand and make the most of the graduate jobs market – not just today – but during your time at university and once you graduate. Make sure you leave with a copy of our events guide so that you can see what’s happening this term.

And finally, keep in touch. You can book an appointments to see us (www.nottingham.ac.uk/careers/appointment) or ask our experts a question on Facebook or Twitter. If you have a burning question, it’s a great way to get a quick answer.

We hope you enjoy the day!

PA is different from other management consultancies. As an employee-owned business, which specialises in consulting, technology and innovation, PA doesn’t just offer a job; but a stake in the firm. As an analyst you will work in small multi-disciplinary teams and be expected to take on significant responsibility, working with colleagues and clients at all levels. Progression is based on merit, not time served, and high performers will progress rapidly.

With 2,500 people operating globally, we are large enough to attract an impressive and diverse client base, yet small enough to be individuals with our own strong professional identity; it’s the best of both worlds.

Our analysts apply for a specific practice area rather than a general graduate scheme, so when you join us you are immediately a fully-fledged and valued member of the firm.
