With recent articles about the situation for graduates in the UK such as 70 graduates going after each position, one could be forgiven for having a somewhat pessimistic outcast on the prospect of securing a job after university. However Charlie Bull deputy research director of the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HESCU) insists things aren’t quite as bad as it seems.

Charlie Bull claims that most graduates got jobs last year and further analysis indicates that those jobs required degrees. Despite this, no statistics are offered to support this claim. Certainly from the experience of GraduateEmployment.org it would be surprising if indeed ‘most graduates’ are in jobs requiring degrees immediately after graduating. Charlie wisely advises graduates to be best prepared for graduate schemes in researching schemes, perfecting their CV and preparing for interviews as best as possible.
