www.gradjobs.co.nz - bringing graduates the best jobs in New Zealand

Well nearly a year after starting this blog, I am now proud to report that two friends and I have teamed up to create http://www.gradjobs.co.nz/. Being recent(ish) graduates , we can relate to the problem that all graduates face of trying to find their first job and make their first move into the working world. Well we decided we wanted to have a go at giving graduates a few more options when it comes to graduate recruitment, which is why we put this site together.

In a nutshell, http://www.gradjobs.co.nz/ is a site dedicated to helping New Zealand's talented graduates find their first job. It's all very well looking through the newspaper or other recruitment sites online but the problem is 95% of the listings require previous experience, which means it can be a needle in a haystack affair to find graduate positions.

So we decided to launch a specialist graduate recruitment site and if you have a browse around you will see we have:
- Employer Profiles - where employers can put up information about their company and how to apply for a graduate role
- Past Graduates - where we profile a number of different past graduates in different careers to give students an idea of where they could end up in 'real life'!
- A gradjobs Newsletter - so that we can email jobs out to graduates as they come up...

This is only the first phase of course and we're looking to add more functionality to the site over time, so stay posted and if you have any feedback I'd love to hear it!
