Welcome to Monster Graduates - Issue 1

Welcome to Monster's new newsletter, designed especially for Graduates. We have developed it to give you an insight into how to prepare for your career ahead and hope you will find it a valuable source of advice and information.

In this, our first issue, we unravel the mysteries of the concept of the Employer Brand, hear a top executive's views on recruitment, hold a keen debate on how Graduates can improve their chances of landing that first interview, and end with a short catch-up on relevant news and views that you might have missed.

Finally, there are 10 other Monster Industry newsletters available and we'd recommend that you sign up to the one(s) most relevant to your chosen career.

Just as a strong brand appeals to consumers, so does the employer brand appeals to prospective employees. Our lead article gives a keen insight into the growing importance of the Employer Brand in today’s recruitment marketplace – what it is, what it’s for and how it works.
