BSc (Hons) Business and IT graduate Christopher Sampson is a graduate trainee at Gripple.
Christopher received one to one mentoring support and advice from Careers and Employment, including help identifying the type of jobs that would be suitable for him. Careers advisors also helped him with his CV and gave him valuable hints about interview and assessment centre techniques.
'I don't think I’d have got my job at Gripple without the help of the careers advisers. They suggested it to me in the first place, and gave me loads of great advice about preparing for the interview and assessment centre.
