I have just finished writting my CV so I am now looking to start applying to jobs!
I am looking for some graduate jobs that offer lots of training and lots of potential to move up the ladder or get a better job in a different company later on.
I am looking towards the IT consultancy side of things. Work as project manager sort of thing. Or work in a company on the business and It side to help interface between the two departments.
Any good links for graduate positions?
Anyone on here deal with employment so would be able to give good constructive advice on my CV?

Often overlooked by individuals with IT background are the BIG4.
Deloitte, PWC, KPMG and EY.
Each have IT External Audit and Internal audit functions, and Deloitte still provides Consultancy too.
I work for one of the above, and work with some of the largest banks and blue chip companies in the world, carrying out reviews over their IT environments. We typically look at key areas such as: Logical and Physical security, networks, databases, operating systems, applications, change management, BCP/DR, etc.
Lots of travel in the UK and some aborad too. Well structured graduate programme, and quick progression through the firm.
2 years grad, 2 years assistant manager, 3 years manager, 3 years senior manager, 3 years director, then onto Partner. If it all goes to plan (roughly)
Upside/downside (depending on how you look at it) is that you will need to do a CA (Chartered Accountancy qualification) as part of your contract.
I skipped that as i joined as an experienced hire thankfully.

Accenture?
They look for graduates with most degrees and same kind of career structure as what simon said. Think the starting salary is 31K with a 10k sign on bonus.
Who do you work for Simon?

Yep, positive. For the graduate scheme you get 31k and 10k sign on bonus. The 10 gets paid over the forst two years so its more like 26k each year if you see where I'm coming from. On the IT graduate front they have a SI&T (Systems Integration and Technology) part although you can start in the Analyst team or the Management Consultantcy section. Check out the website. accenture.com/ukgraduates
Hope this helps.

that's not really 10k sign on bonus then really... sign on bonus usually = money in your hand as you walk through the door.
That just sounds like normal bonus.
Still sounds a fair deal  31k + 5k a year bonus

Yeah your right enough, well the graduate scheme that the run on there website is the 31k + 10k over two years.
Think its 6k after the first month then the other 4k after the second year of being there. I don't know exactly how it works but thats what they advertise.
