Nope.
I applied to a load of advertising companies (don't ask. Seemed like a good idea at the time), so when it came to May of my final year and I had no job lined up, and IBM came calling, even throwing in a grand golden hello as incentive, I bit their hands off.
I'm now working in Central London managing the IT for a large UK beauty company, but it's more the experience i gained after leaving Uni and the fact i'm good at what i do that got me a good job rather than just having a bit of paper.
I do a vocational degree. I don't think I could have got through uni not knowing where I was wanting to get, I get far too stressed out by all this getting a job talk
Now working for Tradingstandards - giving consumer law advice, didnt have a job straight from uni, took a few years builiding up expirience, but other on ma corse were sponsored.
Just doing my final year in Electronics (MEng), from the university listed under my 'location'. Should graduate with a decent 2:1.
However, jobs are an issue. Mostly because I am an international student
So I am having trouble finding jobs
