Resources for internship and job applications, and career planning tools

At Step we have been arranging outstanding placements and internships (as well as fulltime graduate positions) for over 13 years. In that time we have spoken to many thousands of employers and processed tens of thousands of student and graduate applications. We have distilled our knowledge and experience into a bunch of handy briefing sheets covering all aspects of the application process. These are freely available for you to browse and download. You don’t have to apply for a Step opportunity to get these, but as you are here, and if you haven’t already done so, you might want to register to see the latest Step placement and internship opportunities.

Additionally check out our news and blog section for insightful articles from careers professionals.
