Are Student Publications Worth Their Weight?
@campusali.co.uk:
This week I have been interning at Stafford Long. My background however, is in student media having set-up my own magazine in my high school and eventually editing the student magazine ‘Impact’ at the University of Nottingham.
Something which has really struck me whilst working at Stafford Long is the diminishing amount of graduate jobs being advertised in university publications. With graduate recruitment budgets being hit hard, it is understandable that recruiters are choosing to be as targeted as possible in their activities. However, the brand-raising opportunities offered by student publications shouldn’t be forgotten. They offer a really valuable way of ensuring your advertising is seen by a large proportion of the student population at a relatively economical price.
James says: Careers websites are effective for targeting final year students, but if you want to make a dent in the penultimate year internship market, you could consider a student publication – you won’t regret it.
