3 Graduate Recruitment Sources

Many vacancies for graduates are advertised through the usual visible means, but a significant number are not. Graduate recruiters target universities, in some instances specific universities, or specific graduate press or media.

Common examples are careers fairs and the annual 'Milkround'. In addition university vacancy bulletins often receive vacancies the press does not.

So university careers offices are useful sources of information, and can often continue to send vacancy information after you've graduated. If you move away from the University where you graduated, you can often arrange to receive support from your local university.

The moral of the story however is to make the best use of your universities careers facilities while your are there, no matter how distant the idea of getting a job appears. Don't leave it until you graduate.
