IY – General Electric

Posted on by

Adrian has emailed this to you back in December, they’ve just contacted me to say that the closing date has been extended to 15th February.

Please see:-

General Electric

One of our current IY students has sent this to me. He’s working for General Electric at the moment, and says they have three of our students this year. His comments:
“The Jobs aren’t so technical but very good experience for project management and working for a very large organisation 300,000+ employees. Plus the pays pretty good!”
So if that sounds like you, do have a go at this!

Details of an IY placement with MPC Data in Trowbridge, Wiltshire just come in this morning, see below.

Even though they only ask for a CV it would be a good idea to email them a covering letter as well.  Closing date is 15th February.

Again – we have had students with them for many years now and only advertise to Aber students, so a very good opportunity for you.

Lighthouse UK application form

Here are the instructions:-

If candidates could complete the word doc and save it as their name i.e. martin_lee.docx and email it direct to me martin.lee@lighthouseuk.net

They need to complete sections 1,2,5,6 & 7 they can sign the document if we interview. (section 5 is the key one, they need to consider this carefully)
I don’t want covering letters, as this info will be contained in section 5, their email just needs to say “please see attached application form for the role of industrial placement for 2013/14”. We want to make it easy for them to apply.
It’s also worth telling them there will be a short practical test at interview. Approximately 30 minutes.
