Students Finding It Harder to Find Work

By Ian Spence


Making that first step into the world of work can often prove the most difficult to achieve - especially in industry sectors where experience is preferred to youthful potential. With Britain still firmly in a recession, jobs are very much thin on the ground and businesses are more unwilling than usual to take perceived risks on young people coming out of university or college with their specialist qualifications.

Setting up your virtual work space Getting the setup right for your work space is a crucial factor in aiding the productivity of your emerging business.

Predominantly speaking, your setup is likely to be at the home. In this regard, a desktop PC could well be suitable. However, if you are constantly on the move with your business then a laptop is a worthwhile purchase.

Creating the right type of environment is a vital factor in the implementation of your virtual work space. Make sure the location you choose is quiet with plenty of room and free of distractions. Television, games, food and other people are all going to interrupt your work pattern. Most of all, you will need to be self-disciplined and motivated to make it work. There is nobody instructing you what time you must clock-in to work for. Instead, it's important to create a feasible structure that you will be able to adhere to.

The most popular potential job sector to move into is believed to be marketing but even small businesses who run a serviced office setup are unlikely to be considering improving their recruitment of graduates in the coming months.

Instead of gaining the crucial experience needed to progress on the job ladder, graduates are finding that they are plunged into a pool of debt following their time at university and jobless without prospects of finding that sacred position any time soon. If the current trend continues to develop, young people may find themselves in lower-end jobs with long hours that are unable to pay off their debts any time soon.
