Here’s how to spend your time wisely when it feels like no employer wants to even get in touch with you.

Are you hunting hopelessly? Browsing the lists listlessly? Bored of job boards?

Graduating puts question marks over university friendships you thought were rock solid. Will you still be close now you've got different careers and live in different cities? Is it still possible to be best buddies?

No, it's not glamorous. And yes, it might sound strikingly close to babysitting. Still, au pairing can be an eye-opening and exciting experience.

The smartest thing you can do at uni - other than getting your degree, of course - is to prepare for your future career. Although you might think the future is a long way off, the fact is it’ll come along sooner than you think.

It’s estimated that the average person will have up to 15 different jobs during their career. Still, changing directions can seem pretty daunting.

If you frequently use LinkedIn, Indeed or any other major jobsite, you’ll occasionally find opportunities with companies that are almost too eager to hire and meet you. Are they a scam?
