Recruitment Advice

[MrMocs]

So I am going to be finishing up my Bcom Hons in Information Systems in the next few weeks.And I would like to know can anybody recommend some good recruitment agencies where I can send my details to.It feels crap when you have the qualifications but no work experience.

Go to the websites of the big corporates and enroll in a graduate programme.

I know Internet Solutions or Dimension Data has a recruitment program. Investigate that

Agencies will not necessarily help you. No job experience - you will struggle. As others said - find companies where they either take you on as an intern or as part of an apprentice programme. It would help if you have demonstrable study experience - i.e. websites, projects, apps etc.

Remember any job-agency will benefit from commission (from 12 - 35%) - so they would have zero interest in the "low hanging fruit". You will probably find more opportunities on MyBB than via any agency.

I had absolutely no problem getting work through an agency when I just finished my degree - also with zero experience. I used a recruiting agency called Insource ICT

I used Pnet and got in touch with a recruiter through that. I also just finished my degree (the exact same degree as you), but I had previous work experience as I did my degree part time whilst working full time. You should be sorted if you go that route. You need to remember that there are thousands of graduates without work experience, just like you. Don't stress it too much, you will get a job.

I'd say also checkout the career fair program offered by your university and other universities close to you. If you lucky you can meet multiple companies looking to recruit grads in a proper structured training manner which potentially sets you off on a great career.
