Market research companies in the UK?

Question

I am in my final year looking for graduate jobs in market research. I realize that most firms/agencies are based in London. I do not have the desire to relocate to London (heard horrible stories about the living expenses and housing condition). Are there any market research companies in Edinburgh that you would recommend? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

londons not that bad you know.

I understand you cannot afford the homes there but once you get a job it must be better than any other place in the contry

Answer 2

I don't know

sorry:(

Answer 3

If you are in your final year then surely you are not yet a graduate? Do you need a degree to don a tabard, carry a clipboard and annoy the h**l out of shoppers? A degree in self-defence might come in handy.

Answer 4

With respects, if you're in your final year at uni you should have a careers service which will have a database of all the local jobs and will continue to see you a year or two after you graduate.  If there are up and coming market research companies that are not yet on the database I suggest that local networking is a better way to find out about them than YA.  My daughter did part-time evening bar jobs and got an awful lot of sensible admin work contacts that way.  It shouldn't take you a few minutes otherwise to do a Google search for the major market research companies to see if they have branches in Scotland.  Good luck!
