How to be more employable?

Having surfed through the copious array of uni/subject league tables published, I am seeking validation as to whether these tables offer an insight into how employable you are after graduating..

I'm grateful to be studying at one of the top institutions in the UK and internationally, however my course itself (English Literature and Lang) is apparently not as 'weighty' as other top universities that specialise in English in the UK.

Am I wrong in saying however, that your degree is 'what you make it', and although it's not the top uni for the subject itself, it is still an excellent institution; what will place me above job competitors is what I do above my degree, how I differentiate, and how I diversify my uni experience?

I was just disheartened to see the tough time the degree detail itself was getting despite the university being so prestigious. Correct me if I'm wrong or reassure me if I'm right! haha.

Thanks guys for your opinions/guidance!
