I'm struggling to get a job after uni and I'm running out of grad schemes to apply to

Hi there,

Hoping I can offer some support.

I am sorry to hear that you have not been having much luck, do you ever receive any feedback as to why you have been unsuccessful with your applications?

Also - do you have any work experience/voluntary work in the sectors that you are apply to on your CV?

If you do decide to do your masters, I would advise that you try and find a work experience placement to do alongside to help boost your future employment prospects. I understand that they are unpaid but it's something most uni students must do to find future employment once they have graduated.

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks - Sophie.

From my assessment centre I got feedback saying I was a little too dominant in my group exercise though this isn't too big an issue and from my interview with them it was a case of lack of preperation/me not knowing what i was getting into. Other than that I have not got a single bit of feedback from the companies I have applied too and most mention in the rejection email they havnt got time to provide it.

As mentioned my careers department have done all they can for my CV and my Covering letter.

Mind pointing me to a place where I can find companies have a placement scheme in place if I choose to do a masters? I mainly use Prospects.co.uk, Targetjobs.co.uk and BrightNetwork.co.uk for finding work ATM.

I know my CV/Covering Letter is good I have had them looked at and revised by my careers department at Uni (I often make it thru the 1st stage before physcometric testing but not always). The psychometric tests I can't do much about though as their often situation judgement tests or a basic mathmatical type test that you can't really revise for, it comes down to speed and natural aptitude more than anything else.
