Gripping graduate job websites

Before you start envisioning mountains of letters arriving on your doorstep, some offering interviews and some giving rejections, head over to websites like Total Jobs, where search engines allow you to filter available and appropriate positions via location and by sector. Other handy features include a salary checker, where you can enter your skills, qualifications and experience and the site will predict what salary you can expect from your next job. Currently, the website contains details of 'fundraiser manager', 'Online Sales Executives' and care worker posts.

The memorably-named Monster.co.uk website is also a diamond in the rough of internet search engines. The team at Monster have provided expansive advice for graduate job-hunters, including tips from 'Dragon's Den' star James Caan, as well as a list of leading employers whose vacancies you can browse on the homepage. Current featured jobs include ambulance crew members in Stockport and Hotel Reservation Consultants in London.

Another website with a name you won't forget in a hurry is Milkround.com. Not only does the site provide extensive information on particular industry sectors and on effectively applying for positions but the team behind the site will also pay you for signing up other students onto the site, helping to support its online community. Read the latest news headlines regarding improving diversity in the workplace and tell others about the perfect posts you've found via social networking sites such as Facebook. Fancy yourself as a part of John Lewis' Retail Management team or a trainee accountant with PKF? Look no further!
