Customer Systems is a highly specialised IT consulting firm operating alongside suppliers of leading application software packages. We are currently recruiting undergraduates for our Application Consultant placement scheme. After the initial training period, which is typically 4 to 8 weeks, we aim to get you involved in a real customer project as soon as possible.

The actual work obviously varies with the customer's needs but typically involves:

• working with the customer to understand their requirements
• working out the best way of implementing those requirements in Siebel or Actuate
• configuring Siebel or Actuate to the customer's requirements transferring knowledge to the customer about the work that we have performed for them

It is important that you are comfortable with the idea of a job that combines a lot of technical content with a high degree of customer interaction. On average the work is about 75% technical and 25% non-technical.

To apply for these placements, you will need:

• A prediction/reasonable expectation of a 2:1 or above from a reputable institution, backed up by strong A levels (or equivalent if you studied outside the UK)
• Some exposure to programming. You need to have convinced yourself that you have a natural flair for it, although it is not necessary to have done a huge amount
• The presentability, articulacy and presence for customer and prospect contact
• Enthusiasm, determination and a sense of "mission"
• Self-reliance and willingness to travel during the working week both within the UK and internationally

Salary: Placements are for a minimum of ten months, and students earn a salary of £24,000 p.a. (pro rata), with use of a company car when the job requires it.
