February 2008
FINAL YEAR THIS YEAR?
Interested in lining up a great graduate job for the end of your studies? Then read on now, as you start your final year.
Most vacancies for graduate programs, which start in January 2009 and are generally with large organisations, will be advertised and promoted between March and May 2008. These programs are run by a range of employers, both corporate and government, who will be looking to raise profile with people like you across all universities in March/April. Closing dates are from mid March to early June (with about 15% closing by late March). Some disciplines have recruitment processes later in the year e.g. Nursing and Teaching, and then other employers recruit graduates on an ad hoc basis, so while there is a strong graduate recruitment push right now – there are other opportunities throughout the year.
