National Graduate Recruitment Fair 2010

National Graduate Recruitment Fair National Graduate Recruitment Fair 2010 Enjoyed meeting graduates at the National Graduate Recruitment Fair the place Personal Career Management have been operating the Career Advice clinic. We spoke to so many shiny, keen graduates who had been dealing with intense competitors in the job market. Many had been unclear about what they wished to do. Others found that the competition was so immense that they simply felt overwhelmed. This wasn’t helped by the truth that so many needed to work with the large world brand name corporations with vastly oversubscribed graduate schemes. Reminding them that most people in the UK work in SME’s and that not all graduate jobs have been via a scheme was useful in reassuring them that that they had different choices. Equally, encouraging the graduates to use old-style communication ie face to face, telephone and letter writing to get in front of employers seemed fairly radical for a technology that are so technologically savvy. In the brief time we spent with them at the Fair, giving quick career-coaching periods and also displays on CV writing, on-line job search strategies and interview abilities, I felt that we did make a distinction. However, finding your next job is usually a lengthy haul as most job candidates know.

There are explicit challenges about discovering and starting your first “correct job”.
