Intern Software Eningeering – Feb 2019 v1.0 About Mimecast – Infographic November 2018

This has just landed in my inbox, from Mimecast, in London. Once again, as it’s come to us directly, they are targeting us, though I don’t know much about this company.

So if you’re interested in a software engineering placement, and would like to work in London, this is worth going for.

From: Graham Strachan <gstrachan@mimecast.com>

Hi,

My name is Graham Strachan and I am organising a new intern placement scheme within our company.

We are most interested in BSc/MSc Computer Science students who plan to spend a year in industry for their placement period.

I have included an advert we have created for the placement position, which contains a link to our application system. The closing date for applications is 22nd March 2019.

I have also included an infographic explaining some details of the company.

If there are any questions from potential candidates then please add my email address as a contact, gstrachan@mimecast.com <mailto:gstrachan@mimecast.com>

If there are any problems with submitting applications to our portal then please provide the details of Graeme Craig as the contact,gcraig@mimecast.com <mailto:gcraig@mimecast.com>

If you have any feedback or suggestions regarding our approach please let me know.

Regards,

Graham

Plymouth Marine Laboratory come to us every year for IY students, and we have often had more than one student there. It’s a nice location, and (as I remember) largely a Linux establishment.

So this one is definitely worth a go if you like the sound of it!

One of our second years has just had to turn down a placement offer with CodeThink. So, the company says they are still looking for students for an IY. It looks a very exciting placement opportunity, so definitely one worth going for if you are into software engineering and Linux. Kernel work, anyone?

A graduate of ours, Stephi Chan, who now works for Vodafone, has just alerted me to the fact that they’ve just opened their internship programme.

I am sure Stephi, as a Gregynog regular (though not last year) would be happy to talk to anyone about what working for Vodafone is like.

Football Association of Wales Management System Internship

This is more likely to suit a Business IT student; I think we wouldn’t be too happy with a software engineer doing it. Though if you’re Comp Sci and you’re really keen on it, make a case to us (but we might say no).

JOB AD – Systems Developer (Industrial Year) EXTERNAL (23 Nov 2018)

Laura Ashley advertised before, but they have had a very poor response.

This is a job that is easily close enough to commute from Aber if you have a car, or possibly could be done by train. We would very much like to make sure they keep coming to us for students, as they are a local company. So please apply if you fancy a software engineer job.
