LONDON: Every undergraduate has a dream job, but if a recent survey is anything to go by, business and commerce students will face stiff competition if they want to be employed by the most innovative companies in the field.
Universum asked over 40,000 students in the UK who their ideal employer would be, and the results show a mixture of tech, finance, and media dominate the upper echelons of the table.
It may come as no surprise that two of the biggest consumer brands in technology, Google and Apple, are the most desired employers. 23% of students cited the search giant as the company they would most like to work for, whilst just under 16% want to work for Apple after they graduate.
Joao Araujo, Universum’s Country Manager for UK and Ireland told Business Insider via email: “These are iconic brands with a very strong sense of purpose.
Millennials (generally defined as the ages between 18 and 34) admire employers with purpose-driven brands, and Google and Apple are, probably, 2 of the strongest right now.”
