Graduate jobs clinic

What do you expect from your first employer? Survey after survey tells us the latest batch of graduates are now much more discerning about a prospective employer's corporate social responsibility and the work-life balance they can offer than those who finished their education in the past.

But can employers live up to these expectations? This question, along with others posed by you, will be addressed in a seminar held on Monday July 7 by the Association of Graduate Recruiters. Also on the agenda will be the Guardian's latest Grad Facts research.

Are you a Generation Y graduate? Do you want to know what the jobs market looks like for you, or what to expect from an employer offering a graduate scheme? Or are you an employer finding it difficult to satisfy new recruits and want to know what you should be concentrating on to secure the best candidates?

Post a question now and the panel will do their best to give you an answer live when the seminar starts at 2pm.

On the panel are: Andrew Platt-Higgins, planning director for Barkers, Helen Bird, sales director for GRS, Jenny Owen, head of King's College London careers service, Aaron Port, vice president of the NUS, Rob Farace, head of resourcing for Cancer Research UK, and Helene Williamson, future talent consult for BSkyB.
