Factor in the benefits of graduate jobs

When searching for a graduate job are you considering the benefits as well as the salary? If you're looking at a job description and the salary doesn't meet your expectations, before you dismiss it look a little deeper. For instance, the role could include fantastic benefits such as bonuses or on-target earnings. The company could also be based closer to your home than another job that pays more - work out the travel costs to make an accurate comparison. Maybe they provide a gym membership that you're already paying for somewhere else or a company phone or car. Just remember to have a very clear picture of everything the job has to offer before making a decision as it could cost you!
