I got this from Patrick Wyatt - who has a First Class degree in PPE from Corpus, Oxford.
His resume is below, or in this link.
Patrick Wyatt Resume
He writes:
I wondered if you might find the time to offer me a little advice about job opportunities in New York? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
I graduated last June, with a PPE degree from Corpus, and I'm studying in Toronto this year. I'm not very thrilled about the prospect of working in London, but I'm finding it rather hard to find positions abroad. I've missed the major graduate hiring initiatives, which happened in the autumn, and it seems that many companies aren't willing to consider inexperienced candidates who need work permits (I'm a UK citizen). I'm interested in jobs in finance or consulting. (I attach my CV).
Can you suggest any possible approaches? (Or should I reconcile myself to going back home!).
Many thanks,
Patrick
