Why it's hard to get hired right now
Why many employers aren't hiring graduates right now
Employers expect new starters to be job-ready
Many employers now want people who can contribute from day one, and they have less time and budget to train new starters on the job.
A degree shows you can learn. Employers want proof you can do the work.
They look for real projects, the tools their teams actually use, and someone who can vouch for you.
Without recent, relevant experience, good people get passed over
Even with good grades, candidates without recent experience keep missing out. That's true for graduates, students, career changers and people returning to work.
Not a student?
Most company internship programs are built for current students and recent graduates. If you studied years ago, had a career break, are returning to work or want to upskill into a new field, there's usually no pathway for you. Our program is open to you.
Our guaranteed program closes that gap: real projects, the skills employers screen for, a professional resume and a reference. See how our program fixes this ↓
Students, graduates, career changers & returners
Two ways we can help you get real experience
Applying and not hearing back? Finished studying but not sure how to use it day to day? Changing careers or coming back after a break? Choose the path that suits you. It's completely up to you.
FREEOption A · Free
Send us your CV and we'll look for paid internships
We'll match you to paid internships and roles with a stipend from the companies we work with. Here's an honest look at this option.
The upside
Free to apply. No cost to you.
Paid internship placements, usually with a wage or stipend.
The downsides
Highly competitive, so the odds of being chosen are lower.
You could go through a lot of interviews with different companies and still not get placed.
It takes time, and time is money, with no guarantee at the end.
No guarantee of the quality of the project or the work you'll do. Many paid internships are limited in what they can let you work on, so you may end up doing basic or admin tasks rather than learning real skills on the job. When you apply for jobs afterwards you have less to show, and employers notice.
A little money now doesn't always boost your profile for good jobs later.
Most paid internships are only open to current students or recent graduates, so there's often no option if you studied years ago, had a career break or are changing careers.
No professional resume, interview coaching, reference letter or job support afterwards (unlike our guaranteed program).
Best for: people happy to apply and compete for paid roles.
A guaranteed placement with Reesby or one of our sister companies, with real one-to-one support so you grow in your career area. Work on real apps, real AI and machine learning projects, or in accounting, marketing and more.
Guaranteed placement, with one round of interviews with us and no long hiring process
