Missing Link reviews

There are small and medium-sized companies in every career sector all over the country, so don’t limit your work experience options by overlooking them. Why choose a small employer for your work experience? 1. In a small organisation, you can make a bigger impact. Processes in small companies tend to be shorter and more visible, so you can see the effect of your work relatively quickly. 2. The work you do will impress your recruiters fast. Many placements with smaller companies are project based. This means that you can take ownership of a task and see it through to the end . You will be closely involved in the employer’s whole business process and gain a real insight into how they operate. 3. Early responsibility. If you have the chance to take ownership of a task and see it through, your initiative will be tested and you’ll be able to develop your leadership, teamworking, time management and organisational skills. 4. Your contribution will be highly valued. In a smaller organisation a spare pair of hands can undertake tasks no-one else has time for. Students often provide a valuable resource to employers who are busy working hard on the core business and don’t have the time to look at issues such as competitor analysis, marketing or market research. A student can dedicate their time to one of these areas and offer enterprising ideas to improve the business. 5. Your placement can be tailored to suit you. Work experience at a small organisation is unlikely to follow a standard, predetermined schedule and it should be possible to give you opportunities that reflect your interests. 6. Do well, and there’s a good chance you’ll be asked back. A high proportion of small employers will be able to offer students further work after their placement, from additional one-off projects to full-time employment when they are part time. 7. If you’re a budding entrepreneur you should see a small organisation in action. If you’re interested in starting your own business in future, a placement is an excellent way to gain insight into how a small to medium-sized business is run. You may even have the opportunity to work with the company’s founder and find out at first hand how the business was set up. 8. There are so many opportunities out there. Small and medium-sized businesses are the engine of the economy, making up around 99.9% of Indian enterprises.
