Competition for graduate positions continues to rise in the UK with over 50 applicants for every available graduate job. Unemployment among 18-25 year olds is the highest it’s been for decades and graduates without existing work experience are finding it tougher than ever to land an entry level position.
But there are glimmers of hope in the market, with companies like job search engine Adzuna launching a nationwide campaign to find Britain’s “Graduate of the Year 2012”.
The competition, open to all recent and soon-to-be graduates, rewards the brightest and best graduates in their field - from academics and student politicians to sportspeople and young entrepreneurs. Applicants must answer a series of simple questions about themselves and what makes them special, and the winner will be rewarded with the following prize:
