Zero Gravity

Not your average networking event. Yeah, you can say that again. The Zero Gravity Community Cup featured a huge football match attended by everyone from Year 13s to corporate partners, drinks DJs, a barbeque, and stands from Hybr and Liquid Death. The event was designed so that people could find the fun in chatting to people working cool jobs, bond over footie and a casual chat, and make it feel accessible to all ⚽ A big shoutout to our fantastic mates over at The Graduate Guide (legends Peter and Marlene) who ran the event with us. And an equally big shoutout to you guys - who showed up, cheered, played, networked, danced, and demonstrated your support for our mission. So nice to see some new faces as well ☺️ First event we’ve ever done like this and it’s safe to say we’ve got the bug for it now… see you next year 👀 Enjoy some of our favourite portraits from the event - more on the Community Cup to follow shortly. #networking #graduateopportunities

When you’re doing a work experience day, the last thing you wanna do is feel like you’re just trailing behind someone, bothering them with questions all day. So we did it for you 😛 We popped into our partner Gallagher’s office to follow Dylan Sura about for the day, peppering him with all the nosy questions you want to ask about working at Gallagher. Like: How difficult is the Gallagher application process? Do you have to come into the office? What kind of person does Gallagher actually want to hire? Dylan gave us the run-down, and we’re ngl… it looks like a pretty sweet deal. If you’re keen to know more about life at Gallagher, tomorrow (25th July), Gallagher is running a super sick masterclass called: Ask the Experts: Life as an Insurance Broker with Gallagher. Get along to glean exclusive insights into everything you need to know about life as a broker - and if you still have questions, you’ll have the chance to ask ‘em live ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/df_7tDrM And if that’s not enough? Opportunities with Gallagher going live soon BTW 👀 So keep those eyes peeled. #insurancecareers #consulting #jobalert #LifeAtGallagher

Fancy a grad scheme? Yes, you do. Fancy a grad scheme at a place where the employees ACTUALLY like it? Yes, you definitely do. We sit down with Serena, Emily and Annie, to quiz them about life at HW Fisher: what the scheme is like, the culture, the socials, why they chose to work there, etc. And as you can see, it’s not a place that is all chat, no substance. The people who work there *actually* love it. So, don’t hesitate - get yourself signed up to the HW Fisher graduate scheme (successful candidates will gain their ACA qualification as well 🥵). Good craic, good pay, good qualifications? No excuses not to apply! Apply here - https://lnkd.in/eGn9iFNe #graduateopportunities #gradschemes #hiringalert

Nothing makes us prouder than seeing our members repping us - especially when they're on the flipping BBC 😲 One of our school members, the legendary Evie Croll, hopped onto the Beebs last night to chat about UCAS, her offer at the University of Cambridge, and Zero Gravity (!). Evie, you spoke so eloquently - cheers for flying the Zero Gravity flag and for bringing our mission to life. You beautifully represented what we do - and why we do it. Forever in the Zero Gravity Hall of Fame 🏆 Good luck for Results Day mate 👊 Crush it.

Day Sale. Knocked Down. Live Auction. Fillet. Fair Warning. Know what any of these terms mean? Us neither. Luckily, iconic Christie's apprentices Khadijah and Darla are tackling terms from the art world head-on in our new Jargon-Busting series. But why make a video series debunking industry-specific terms like “Night Sale” and “Fair Warning”? 🤔 We’ve got a simple answer for that. The majority of our members will be pursuing careers in industries that are vastly different from their parent’s jobs. Aspiring for those hard-to-crack industries, famously shrouded in mystery and full of confusing jargon, it raises the question: who are you supposed to ask for a hand when you need it? That’s where our fantastic partners like Christie's step in - in this case, to expose you to the key terms in their industry which might just help you out in interviews and applications. More videos like this on our platform 💻 Opportunities with Christie’s and our other partners are frequently updated on the Opportunities page on our website.
