Permanent staff appointments have fallen steeply according to recent survey data.

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG’s Report on Jobs has found that permanent job placements have declined at the quickest rate in just over three years amid a weak economic outlook and reduced confidence among UK businesses.

We’d like to find out about how job searches are going for recent graduates and those entering the job market. How are your job searches going? Have you secured your ideal job? Have you found permanent work easy or harder to come by? Have you been offered temporary work?
