New research has indicated that students approaching the end of their studies are confident about finding a job, despite the economic downturn, which may be of note to graduates. Conducted by targetjobs.co.uk, the study found that more than two-thirds of final-year undergraduates feel confident they will secure a job after university, with 12 per cent already having a position to walk into after graduation. Additionally, the survey revealed that men are more confident than women about their chances of employment. Commenting on the findings, Paul Sissons, chief executive of targetjobs, said: "We found that men tend to get up and running more quickly in terms of job hunting, so they will have added confidence." However, Mr Sissons is concerned that the research indicates that graduates are not fully aware of the effect of the economic climate on the jobs market. In February, the Association of Graduate Recruiters predicted a 16.4 per cent rise in the number of graduate-level job vacancies in 2008, but new economic conditions are likely to lessen this figure.
