Guests this week
This time last year, Guardian Work ran an interesting piece that explored an emerging job market trend which saw UK graduates successfully finding work overseas. Fuelled by the tough job market in the UK, increasing numbers of candidates were looking rather afield. But what's the situation this year? Are there still good opportunities for UK graduates in the international job market?
Nannette Ripmeester, founder and director of Expertise in Labour Mobility and expert on international graduate recruitment joins us to discuss.
Plus we hear from graduate Charlie Bagley about her experiences working overseas as an intern for PWC in Chile.
And this week's resident undergraduate is Alina Akindele, who is exploring the possibility of pursuing a social policy career in the EU.
News review
From making sure you can be found online and standing out when on work placements, we share career tips for online journalists that all job seekers can learn from. A blog post from a graduate who has sacrificed their values to get a job reminds us why flexibility is so essential in modern job seeking. Plus, when work experience is worth it; we argue that one young journalist's story of getting a job straight out of university has nothing to do with luck.
