Graduate jobs FAQs
Find clear answers to common questions about graduate jobs such as when to apply to how GRB can support your job search.
What are graduate jobs?
Graduate jobs are entry-level roles designed specifically for students or recent university graduates. These positions typically require a degree and are structured to provide training, mentorship, and early career development. Graduate jobs exist across nearly every sector –Â from finance, tech and marketing to engineering, law, and healthcare.
Most graduate jobs don’t expect you to have extensive work experience. Instead, employers are looking for potential, problem-solving ability, and a willingness to learn. At GRB, we specialise in connecting graduates with roles that match their academic background and long-term career ambitions.
When should I start applying for graduate jobs?
It’s best to start applying for graduate jobs in the first term of your final year at university, as many employers begin recruiting early. Some graduate schemes have deadlines as early as October or November, while others recruit all year round on a rolling basis.
That said, not all graduate jobs follow the same timeline. Smaller companies and startups may advertise roles throughout the year, often with quicker hiring processes. GRB posts new graduate jobs daily, so it’s never too late to find the right opportunity. The earlier you start, the more options you’ll have.
Can I get a graduate job with no experience?
Yes! Graduate jobs are specifically designed for people with little or no professional experience. Employers know you’re at the start of your career and are usually more interested in your education, soft skills, and motivation than your work history.
That said, any extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, internships or volunteering experience can strengthen your application. GRB helps you highlight your strengths and matches you with graduate jobs that value potential over experience.

What salary can I expect in a graduate job?
Graduate job salaries in the UK typically range from £24,000 to £35,000, depending on the industry, location, and employer. London-based roles and certain sectors like finance, tech, and consulting may offer higher starting salaries, sometimes exceeding £40,000 with bonuses or OTE (on-target earnings).
At GRB, we include salary information with every job listing where possible, so you can compare offers and make informed decisions. Remember to also consider benefits such as training, progression opportunities, location, and company culture when evaluating roles.
How do I make my graduate job application stand out?
To make your application stand out, tailor your CV and cover letter to the specific role and employer. Highlight relevant academic projects, transferable skills, internships, or part-time experience. Use clear, concise language and back up achievements with measurable results where possible.
At GRB, we offer expert career advice and free CV tips to help you create a strong first impression. You can also follow up applications with a well-written email to demonstrate enthusiasm and professionalism.
Are graduate schemes the same as graduate jobs?
Not exactly. Graduate schemes are structured training programmes offered by larger employers, often lasting 1–3 years. They typically have set start dates, rotations across departments, and a clear development path. Graduate jobs, on the other hand, can refer to any entry-level role that requires a degree – including one-off roles with immediate start dates and less formal training.
Both options offer valuable experience. At GRB, we list graduate jobs and graduate schemes from a wide range of employers to suit different career paths.
