This site also provides independent careers advice and information on post-graduate study. It is advised that you join the 'My Prospects' section of the site so that you are notified via email as soon as new graduate opportunities arise.
The Target Jobs website (http://targetjobs.co.uk/) is specifically for graduate recruitment. It allows you to search for graduate opportunities, narrowing down the search by sector and regions. Some of the regions covered include, the UK and Ireland, Mainland Europe, the United States and then a broad section covering opportunities available in the rest of the world.
Each year The Times newspaper determines the top 100 graduate employers in the UK. In 2009 over 16,000 graduates were asked which employer they feel provides the best opportunities for graduates, the results for 2009 can be found at this link, http://www.top100graduateemployers.com/.
