After graduating many graduates are surprised that they have so much difficulty finding
a graduate post, this is not surprising as the number of graduates has increased so dramtically over the past decade, With one in 3 young people starting their working lives as a graduate the currency of a degree has been devalued to a point that is has about the same meaning as 5 O levels had 30 years ago. Graduates need to realise that all they have proven is that they are reasonably intelligent and that they can learn.
