UKNM: RE: placements

[Ian Tester]

Placements are an excellent thing, and really help your business. We've got

a scheme here at boo where we pay a salary similar to other blue chips, and

the guys and girls rotate between departments to gain a good overview of the

business. We in turn get a lot of very smart people who in a few years are

pretty perfect - they've worked in every department, so they understand the

technology *and* the business.


Below is an email I got the other day - looks like students are organising

themselves - and good for them. We webbies have got to keep the pressure on

at Universities - we're already taking some good people from other

industries, and they're beginning to feel the pinch!


hey ho! friday! ta ta!

"A group of Oxford University students have organised an internet event to

encourage students to join new media companies or start-up their own. The

StartUp Forum is designed to be a meeting place for students with ideas,

venture capitalists, internet entrepreneurs and start-ups who are searching

for some of the best and brightest graduates in the UK to join them

part-time, long-term or short-term.


In an effort to help encourage students to move away from traditional

management consultancy jobs and into the exciting world of the internet, we

are trying to get present start-up employees (like you) to come and give

advice. If you would like to meet a young, bright and very keen group of

students who are potential boo.com employees or internet entrepreneurs, then

please come along.


Also these students represent your target market and are amongst the most

internet savvy students around. So this could be a great marketing exercise

for you!


The meeting is in St.John's College Oxford on Wednesday 8th March. There is

a distinguished speaker who will talk and take questions from 8pm-9pm and

this will be followed by an opportunity (9pm - 11.15pm) for students and

start-ups to meet. There are many trains from Paddington to Oxford (55mins),

the best one to get is probably at 6.48pm. A map is attached.


If you need any further details then please call or e-mail me.
