Interest rate rises and soaring house prices are leaving people across the UK having to take on a second job to keep up with the bills. According to the latest figures, a fifth of Britons have decided to take on more work to afford a mortgage, a car and yearly holidays. The news comes as thousands of students prepare to take their final exams and start looking for jobs which will allow them to start saving up. Andy Wiggans, of high street lender Bradford & Bingley which conducted the survey, said: "Our research shows that increasing numbers of people want to get more out of life than a nine to five-salaried job can provide. One size no longer fits all." Many graduates who are leaving university this summer will be hoping to get a foot on the property ladder with house prices having risen by 12.1 per cent in the last year. Employers would do well to take advantage of the influx of newly qualified workers, many of whom are likely to apply for work through an online recruitment agent.
