Recruiters have more graduate vacancies!

Graduate recruiters have over 10% more graduate vacancies in 2008 than last year but the competition is still high. The AGR (Association of Graduate Recruiters) survey showed that this year the finance sector has the most vacancies but vacancies in the FMCG sector have the most competition, with 112 applicants per vacancy. Although the finance sector has the most vacancies, it does not have the most applications per vacancy therefore statistically it is ‘easier’ to get a graduate job in finance than with a FMCG company.

Are you finding the competition fierce when it comes to securing a graduate job?
