Graduate recruitment

A friend of mine emailed me this article from the Brand Republic marketing blog. Good to see this getting discussed as it’s something most people trying to get into the industry have to deal with. It touches on what I see as the end product of how things work currently – that entry into the creative industries will increasingly become available only to those who have the financial security to work for nothing. Having said this I know there are some paid schemes to get people in to the industry. Like W+K’s creative recruitment scheme The Kennedys which, for anyone interested in entering, closes the doors for submissions next week on 30th March.
