Graduate Joblessness

Large numbers in young people who completed university and went out in search for a job last summer are still outside of work. A rise of the number of graduates this year, together with cuts on graduate training schemes, have resulted in record levels with graduate unemployment this year. What can you do to make sure that you're not into this position when you finish your studies?

This tactic may even result from a permanent position once the firm sees what you are capable in doing.
