The graduate job market continues to be highly competitive in 2010, with statistics showing that high numbers of new or recent graduates are chasing fewer jobs.
Many new graduates know what they want to do in their career but are increasingly finding it difficult to secure a job or progress on their chosen career ladder.
Others are unclear as to where their skills and talents are best suited and are often confused by the uncertain environment. Some are entering the job market in an area which may be totally unsuitable for them.
Taking a step back from the immediate urge to ‘find a job’ and conducting a thorough review of skills, experience, strengths and aspirations can provide clarity to any job search.
Learning and exploiting techniques commonly used by more-seasoned job hunters can give most new graduates the confidence and extra skills welcome to most employers.
