Work For GRB At University

Back in 2003 we were looking for a way to raise awareness of GRBs free national graduate recruitment service. With limited resources from a Brighton base we had to be creative. Advertising was way too expensive and not something we felt could really tell our story. Initial research did reveal that once students discovered our service they started telling their friends and word of mouth quickly spread. We decided to focus our efforts on these advocates and start to pay them for their efforts. We called them our Student Brand Managers or SBMs. Over the years we have recruited a huge network of SBMs and carefully refined this model to make it one of the most successful marketing initiatives we have ever launched. The reason? Everyone benefits.

Now evolved even further, with the new title 'GRB Affiliates', we aim to help more students than ever!

What's involved?

• Registering other students at your uni using an online form
• Helping out at our Fresher's and Careers Fairs
• Other ad-hoc promotions

How is this experience good for my CV?

As we speak to graduate recruiters we know what skills they look for. This job will give you those skills. Being an SBM will therefore give you;

• An excellent way to demonstrate key skills that employers are looking for such as time management, communication and commercial awareness.
• An opportunity for recognition. Top performing Affiliates have the chance to be awarded bonuses and promoted.
• An extra qualification. Completion of five marketing projects enables you to achieve the Chartered Institute of Marketing's Career Development Award.
• Internship. Each year we pick top performer to intern with GRB over the summer.
