Weathering job uncertainty


Tough search: Many unemployed graduates are out there looking for jobs, and while some are choosy and bidding their time to find the right job, others also end up floundering at the interview stage.

ACCEPTING lower salaries, taking jobs in less desired posts or fields, working part-time and being thrifty – these are just a few ways young graduates are dealing with the uncertain job market today.

With talk of yet more retrenchments and hiring freezes this year, young job seekers find themselves willing to make sacrifices to secure employment in the current gloomy economic climate.
