We have been contacted by a former graduate Alistair Mills about job opportunities at Experian QAS. His email said:
“The company have just announced a couple of vacancies ideal for recent graduates. It is a similar role to the one I started in after Aber and it is a great position to learn and get to grips with a wide variety of languages, tools and software. I was wondering if you could send it around the recent graduates to see if anyone is interested.
I’ve attached the full description of the role [see below], details and requirements. Hopefully that is everything you need – we are hoping to hire someone ASAP!
This advert has not been advertised publicly yet but will be going to all towards the end of this week. If anyone is interested in applying or has any questions then please contact me at Alistair.mills@experian.com for more details.”
See the attached job information for details.
