The E! graduate scheme – the perfect start to a successful career

February 8th, 2011 by Kat

Eulogy! – The exclamation mark says it all.  It’s that good.  When I turned up for the grad day one sunny Thursday morning I never dreamt that seven months later I’d be in the position I am now – in a job that I love with some of the most fun, inspiring and downright fantastic people I could ever imagine working with.  That’s the thing about Eulogy!, you can’t fail to make friends, have a laugh and ultimately end up in the pub every Friday!

Undoubtedly one of the greatest things about the grad scheme is the level of responsibility you’re given from the off.  It’s not like that internship you did last summer or those two weeks work experience when you were given the rubbish tasks nobody else could be bothered with.  At E! you’re a valued member of the team from day one.  It may sound daunting, but everyone’s so supportive and understanding that you never feel like you’re on your own.

Eulogy! invests a lot of time and energy in its graduates through training schemes, not only from your peers in the first few weeks, but through official programs throughout your E! career.  It’s that which makes everyone here so switched on, determined and great at what they do.

Another thing about Eulogy!: you’ll never have a dull day.  Yes, it can be tiring and frustrating at times, just like any other job, but you get to work on such an array of clients doing such exciting tasks that you can never tell how the rest of your day’s going to pan out, let alone the rest of the week.

The overwhelming things that strike me about the grad scheme are the opportunities, trust and support you’re given from day one.  Quite simply, I can’t imagine starting my career in PR – or continuing it for that matter – anywhere else.

Starting a career in PR through the Eulogy! Grad scheme

What a difference a year makes!

This time last year I was sat in the library at uni, frantically cramming for my final year exams. Somewhere in between all of the revision and partying I managed to find time to apply for the grad scheme at Eulogy!

Now my student days are well behind me and I’m a fully fledged account exec at one of the country’s leading PR agencies. In less than a year I’ve gone from handing in my dissertation to handing out my own business cards.

It’s all been a bit of a whirlwind to be honest, but from the very beginning Eulogy! invested a lot of time and effort into implementing a training programme for all the grads. Training isn’t just limited to junior staff members though, it’s something that’s rolled out across the agency, irrelevant of how senior you may be.

Now, nine months after starting, and I’ve just been promoted. Eulogy! is really good in that respect – they entrust all their grads with a lot of responsibility from the start, and our efforts are constantly recognised and rewarded.

I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t work hard, and of course I have days when I miss the student life, but I enjoy what I do and it’s nice when you actually look forward to going into the office everyday. One of Eulogy’s greatest assets is its people, and as clichéd as it may sound, it really is like one big family here. One big, slightly mad, family.
