Call centre firms are seeing applications for graduate jobs increase due to the recession, according to new reports. Speaking to the Times, one call centre agency called Hays said that it has seen the number of people seeking graduate jobs with them rise threefold in the last 12 months. Telecommunications firm O2 and dental health insurance firm Denplan have also seen similar boosts in applications, while Cambridgeshire County Council reports the same. Although call centre work is often associated with temporary positions, many graduates are keen to get onboard at firms such as these. Ewan Murray from Strathclyde University, who took up a position at renewable energy developers AWS Ocean Energy told the newspaper: "My placement gave me a great insight into wave and tidal energy in Scotland. The work I was given felt like I really contributed to the company and hopefully it's the start of a future relationship with AWS." Those looking for graduate jobs in the current economic condition should be aided in finding apprenticeship schemes, the Confederation of British Industry recently said.
