As a new graduate the best option in getting a new role is to build some great experience as an intern, or apply directly for a graduate scheme.
Sometimes we will have opportunities for entry level positions, however most of the time you would be better off applying for these sort of roles yourself.
If you already have some good experience in a particular sector, then do send us your CV, however if not – it is best to only apply for roles through us where you feel that you fit the requirements of the job description.
Don’t worry, it isn’t all doom and gloom – here are some of our fantastic client partners who offer internships and graduate schemes, as well as useful industry resources:
PR
Applicants need to visit the Working Here tab of www.lexispr.com for more info and details of how to apply. The applications process has changed a bit this year - a CV/cover letter alone is no longer going to cut it. We want you to do something that will grab our attention & make you stand out!

Office Support:
The majority of our clients will require a certain amount of secretarial / admin / office support experience along with proficiency in MS Office and good typing skills.
To gain this experience you can contact your local colleges for day/evening courses.
Alternatively you may wish to look at courses run by St Jame’s and Lucie Clayton’s Secretarial College, London:
Music:
At Career Moves Group, the majority of our music clients will be seeking a minimum of 12 to 18 months experience within a specialist area of the industry - marketing, digital, copyright, royalties, licensing, etc
A great way to gain this initial experience, is to undertake a work experience placement or internship within a label, artist management company, music publisher, etc.
It’s certainly worth deciding on an area that you would wish to specialise in before contacting relevant companies directly.
