If you're looking for an internship or graduate position at the end of next academic year, be warned! A number of companies are starting their recruitment processes earlier than usual for 2009/10.

The Bank of England and Deloitte are just two companies who will open their graduate recruitment in July 2009 (for jobs starting in summer / autumn 2010) whilst ExxonMobil will begin recruiting for the same period in late August 2009. Other companies are following suit and some are also starting their internship recruitment in June and July this year.

TeachFirst opened ttheir intake for graduates in early June this year, and they are recruiting higher numbers for 2010 than in previous years.
