2. Nature of our website

2.1 Our website is a place for recent graduates, based in the UK, who have obtained a job since graduating, to participate in our online survey about their jobs. We intend (but do not undertake) to use the information from our survey to publish articles, reports, books and other material, both online and in print, to inform graduate job-seekers about the marketplace for jobs.

2.2 In return for your participation in our online survey, 2i research will either give you an Amazon.co.uk gift certificate of the value indicated at the beginning of your questionnaire or if so indicated enter you into a prize draw to win an Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB. The probability of winning this draw is 1 in 1000. This prize is offered subject to availability and may at the option of 2i research be replaced by a substantially equivalent prize or a cash alternative. The prize may at the option of the winner be substituted for an amount of Amazon.co.uk gift certificates equal to the VAT exclusive price of the prize offered when rounded to the nearest £5.

2.3 Please note that our online survey on this website is only for use by those who fulfil these requirements:

You must be a graduate, now living in the UK; and
