Graduates looking for career development in today's job market need to remain flexible in order to take advantage of the opportunities on offer, according to People Risk Solutions.
Andrew Pullman, managing director at the firm, explained that the recent economic slowdown has caused firms to tighten their purse strings and rein in their future investments.
"Also, graduate unemployment is at a high so that new graduates are also competing with previous intakes. However, as long as graduates are prepared to be flexible with their first job there are still opportunities out there," he added.
Mr Pullman went on to say that there are job opportunities for university leavers, particularly as marketers, economists and planners in the private sector.
"The issue for most firms now is how much should they invest when they are trying to keep the business afloat," he added.
His comments come after a survey conducted by the Association of Graduate Recruiters found that a third of graduate recruiters have failed to meet their targets due to a lack of suitably skilled candidates.
