One of the best resources for UK graduates looking for their first job or next job is the online job site. These sites, ranging from specific recruitment pages to general job sites, provide a great service to technologically savvy graduates. Online job sites often allow a professional to post their CV and application materials for other companies to find in an effort at passive recruitment. As well, the job listings on these sites often allow an applicant to click a few buttons and send their information to the appropriate person. Overall, graduate job sites have simplified the application process immensely for young professionals.
However, like any other website, online job sites are not created equal. While there are a number of great job sites that allow graduates to find the best jobs, there are other sites that are rudimentary or provide little in the way of services to their users. In this way, graduates seeking out their dream job need to have a certain level of expectation from an individual site.
One expectation from graduate job sites is privacy. Graduates expect their personal information, including address and phone number, to remain between themselves and their potential employer. This is a simple standard to enforce, as web sites with the appropriate security measures will often have their security system advertised on the main page. A site that does not have an assurance of privacy is not the one for the discerning graduate.
As well, graduates should expect a full range of application services from their graduate job site. Indeed, the best job sites include an online application which covers all of the information that is asked for on a standard application. Great job sites also feature CV formatting services and other features which allow graduates to put their best foot forward electronically. Those sites which do not feature these types of options or nothing resembling them should not be used by a young professional.
Finally, graduates need to look at the types of jobs offered by a graduate job site. The best job sites around offer extensive listings divided into specific channels for the ease of use by graduate job hunters. As well, job sites that are on the ball update their jobs on a daily basis in order to reflect the changing job market. Graduates need to look at the specific jobs offered and the general connection of a job site to their particular industry in order to determine if it is worthwhile to use a site.

Where does the corporate culture lie between these extremes: autocratic top-down decision making vs empowered employees given free reign to pursue creative approaches to given tasks.
In some places employees who point out inherent weaknesses in corporate policy are viewed as whistle-blowing troublemakers: at other places the very same people are thanked for pointing out opportunities for improvement. Where do you see this organization?
I have seen companies that count years of service as the primary factor in deciding who to promote. I have seen others where a young person right out of college who has good mastery of analytical software become far more efficient and therefore, more likely to be promoted despite their young age. At this company, who would be more likely to be promoted?
In these three examples, the quick answer you give is irrelevant, because everyone knows what you're "supposed" to say. The real answer will come in the quality and depth of examples you give, and how passionately you convey the answers. The candidates will be able to smell if you are making up answers just to get them to sign on.
