Graduate advice

Entering the world of work post-graduation can be challenging for graduates at all levels. Finding the perfect start-up job or graduate scheme in your dream company may even seem impossible. With the stress of worrying about whether or not they have the right skills, graduates often find themselves accepting graduate jobs that aren’t really suitable for them, out of fear that they won’t get offered another. In addition to this, many graduates are unaware of the types of jobs that are available to them, and disregard jobs that aren’t directly related to their degree. This is a common mistake, even for more experienced professionals. Cutting yourself off from potential opportunities can ultimately prevent you from gaining career-boosting experiences and expanding your horizons.
