What are graduates looking for?

by ProGrad

ProGrad are always looking to understand the key drivers/ motivators around graduates accepting jobs…so what exactly are they looking for?  Is it all about the money?  I think thats pretty unlikely…there seem to be more factors that surround a choice of career.  Some of the key themes that we seem to hear about time and time again are:

1) Culture of a company

2) Progression Opporutnities

3) Opportunities to gain exposure within the business

4) Travel opportunities

5) Training/ Investment of the employer

Is there anything else that graduates are looking for?  We’d love to hear your feedback.

    I have a lot of respect when I see posts by other people who are more of an expert compared to me on this topic. Your work is a result of study and knowledge on your part and you were very good enough to share all with people like me. Many thanks.

    Can I simply say what a relief to find somebody who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You definitely know tips for job hunters. More people have to read this and perceive this rather than just the stuff they spam at uni. I cant believe youre not more widespread because you positively have the gift.

    There are some fascinating cut-off dates on this article but I don know if I see all of them heart to heart. There may be some validity however I will take into account but might look into it further. Good article though, thanks!

    We’re a gaggle of uni students starting a new scheme in our community. Your site provided us with valuable info to work on. You’ve done an impressive job and our entire project will likely be grateful to you.
