Focus for Success in Challenging Times - The Career Navigation Guide for Students
18-06-2009
Whether first year or final year, as a student you will be aware of the current economic climate and associated reduction in graduate jobs. The true fact of the matter is the abundance of entry level jobs that there was a few years ago are no longer there. The reality is many of the companies that have been coming to college campuses in recent years to find new young talent are not hiring to the same level they did in the past. Indeed, the class of 2009/10 faces the biggest battle for jobs in two decades.For students and soon to be graduates looking to launch their first careers, the future can appear quite gloomy. Perhaps because of this poor job market, an increasing number of college students are turning to their campus careers service for support and guidance on managing their careers in a dramatically changing job market.
In response and to support students during this downturn, Graduate Careers Ireland has put together this student handbook ‘Focus for success in challenging times — the career navigation guide for students’. Drawing on the knowledge base and expertise of a team of colleagues including third level careers advisors, industry consultants and psychology/counselling professionals, we have collated relevant material and vital information for navigating the diminishing job market.
