Post graduation blues

Are you feeling the lull after all the recent excitement? Did you get through clearing? Have you landed yourself a graduate placement? Are you job hunting?

Whatever stage you are at now we want to share and support your new move.

For those still wondering what to do with their post graduation hangover, why not consider some of these options:

Graduate recruitment scheme
If you don’t have a place and keen to apply, don’t despair there are still companies who have places available! Great for those who want to get stuck in but not sure on their specialism yet.

Internship
Whilst the news about un-paid internships has hit the press lately there are still short term contracts available if you are looking to learn on the job.

Travel // Gap year
If you have the travel bug or just in a state of limbo at the moment the experience of visiting other countries this summer will complete your worldly outlook. Skills and cultures learned along the way can also be really valuable to a prospective employer. Use this to your advantage.

Teaching English Abroad
Maybe teaching is your bag or you would like to live somewhere new for a while whilst earning some cash!
Research the schools you are applying to and check the qualifications they need.

For more information about this check back in the week as we have a guest blogger who will share her experiences with you in order to help make a decision on which way next...

Further education
Ok, so clearing has closed at a lot of universities already and A-level students without a secured place are re-considering their options too, but who said you needed to go back to University to further your career? Plenty of professional bodies offer qualifications which could help set you apart from the completion.

A little extra inspiration
BPP Business School tube ads caught my eye this week with their ‘Get a head for business’ campaign. Do, don’t lose your head, get ahead!
