Graduate job hunters hoping to improve their employability on a training course must not get themselves down if they are not at first successful. That is according to a fellow graduate, Matt Tasker, who said that the aptitude and numerical tests, phone interviews, psychometric tests, competency-based interviews and assessment centre exercises are all worth it in the end. Gaining a computing and management degree from Loughborough University, the 22-year-old finally secured a place on RWE npower's two-year graduate training programme in September, the Guardian reported. "It is a long, hard process but you just have to keep going at it. The assessment centres were quite scary. Everyone tries to be smiley and polite, but you also know it is competitive. The important thing is just to try and be yourself," he told the newspaper. The BBC recently reported that prime minister Gordon Brown promised that unemployed university leavers still trying to find a graduate job after six months will be able to get some training or an internship.
