Coolest brands to work for

The top ten coolest brands to work for have just been announced, with Aston Martin remaining in the top spot from last year.

Aston Martin has also just invited application for its 2009 graduate recruitment programme.

The deadline for applications is in December with salaries starting at £25,500.

Following down the list from Aston Martin is Apple, with iPhone the number two coolest brand and general technology from the company taking the third spot.

Apple invites application for graduate jobs in all areas all year round.

In number four is Bang & Olufsen, which invites graduate work in its technical opportunities section.

Then in number five is YouTube, which is not advertising for student jobs at the moment, but hosts some graduate recruitment videos.

A favourite is posted up from BAE systems, for example.

The top names were selected by CoolBrands, which has been canvassing the opinions of experts and consumers to come up with a definitive list since 2001.
