Lives of the graduates

摘要

I am only a couple of years removed from the graduate job hunt (and admittedly I graduated at the worst point in the recession) but finding a job was not easy at all. There were only a couple of the big companies that I was interested in, so, apart from those, I focused my search on SMEs. What I quickly found was that many had practically no visibility. They never appeared at recruitment fairs or appeared on job boards. Indeed, many did not even recruit directly, relying more on agencies for that. These were not household names, so unless I knew about them beforehand I rarely discovered them on my own.
