Its got me really thinking, I mean there must be hundreds if not thousands of people who have graduated and want to work within search. It would be interesting getting other opinions Hi Nick I tried to access your blog but it said it was unavailable.

Check it out http://marketinggraduateuk.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/graduate-jobs-how-to-land-that-dream-graduate-job/ , funny how we both come to very similar conclusions!

He's identified all of the areas where he's struggled so far - and one area that's a problem (bizarrely I don't think he has this problem) is experience. Plenty of employers ask for experience - but not that many provide it. Students who go on placement, or summer internship, or who have a day a week working in their industry tend to find 2 things: first, our research shows that they tend to gain one degree classification point higher than those students who haven't had that experience; second - they walk into jobs (in fact they have choices). Being bright or clever isn't good enough. Having the numbers on a degree certificate isn't good enough. One final thing - Manchester (as a City region) has the 3rd largest "Digital" sector in Europe and a massive networking culture. It's important for students to start networking early on, to get their faces known. Be someone who talks to people. Simon (MD of PushOn) is the kind of employer who loves talking to students - because it's in his interest to identify future talent. It really is more about who you know rather than what you know, and what you know is more important than what University you went to. PS - someone offer Arj a job because he's a capable bloke. He's not one of my grads but hey - that's not what it's about - he's a perfect fit for someone. That Nick Rhind at CTI is always looking for folk :-) I met Arj too.
