Attraction
The first thing that attracted
me to J&LR is that it is the
only large automotive
manufacturer in the UK.
I was attracted to work for J&LR
because you see the products on
the road every day and you actually
get to work on the cars.
The attraction of J&LR is the
variety of the experience you
can get on the graduate
scheme, they also provide
great support throughout your
training and development.
I always feel quite
proud when I’m
telling people who I
work for and I always
get a good reaction.
I think what attracted me about
working for J&LR the most was that
it was a really big company, there
was so much to see and so much
to do.

"involves many different things"
"For me a typical day can be anything, I can walk in
first thing in the morning and I don’t know what’s going
to unfold that day, that’s what I really enjoy about the
job."
"There is no such thing as a typical day within Human
Resources at Jaguar Land Rover..."
"A typical day would probably consist of going to
meetings to discuss issues that arise, planning a user
trial or actually conducting experiments or writing up
the findings."
