If you have just left university then it can be tough to find employment in the current climate regardless of whether you aced all of your chosen subjects. The recession and money worries for a lot of UK companies means that graduate jobs can be hard to find. Businesses with a lack of funds are less likely to take a risk on an inexperienced prospective employee and will see relevant experience as a major factor when choosing who to employ. Spending money on graduate jobs where the candidate is unlikely to have a great deal of experience of a working environment may seem too much of a gamble.
Experience costs money though so the other side to the coin is that graduate jobs will be filled with hard working university leavers who are likely to be quick learners and their lack of experience means they can be moulded and taught exactly as you would like them to be. Graduate jobs also pay less so if you can mould your new employee as you want then it could save your company money in the long run.
Many recruitment agencies understand the problems that graduates can face when looking for graduate jobs and that their demand can be excessive with thousands of students freshly graduating each and every year and then joining the employment market. Some recruiters now specialise solely in graduate jobs and therefore understand the market better than a standard agency. As they just focus on this area of recruitment they will have experience and contacts in this niche that can be vital for a university leaver. Speaking to one of these agencies could put you on the road to a successful career as the jobs they advertise will be solely aimed at you.
