Flexibility In Your Jobsearch

Being flexible in your graduate job search can massively increase your chances of finding graduate work - don't be dismissive of sectors before you really understand what they can offer from first-hand research. While you may have studied something very specific it's important to understand where other opportunities might lead to in the future. Perhaps you want to work in marketing, so break down the aspects of the role such as research, copy-writing or media planning and look for different jobs in those fields in order to gain insight and experience. Maybe you want to work as a Journalist but are having no success so why not consider looking at other office based roles within publishing so you can begin to work and learn within the industry. The path your career follows may have many twists and turns before ending in the place you want to be. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
