Agenda

General graduate employment trends
Monash graduate employment outcomes
Employment and Career Development support for
Monash students
Useful resources for investigating graduate
employer and career information

Three years after the global financial crisis we
are still seeing its lingering effects as
graduate recruiter activity in the labour market
remains flat. However, our research also shows
that unemployment is not a long-term concern for
graduates and its important to understand that
getting a degree is not about the first job after
university its about the potential for huge
personal growth and a life-time of advantage in
the labour market.
GCA Research Manager, Mr Bruce Guthrie

Graduate employment trends

These figures come from the Australian Graduate
Survey, which is an annual survey of graduates
from Australian higher education institutions.
More than 168,000 graduates responded in 2011.
76 per cent of new bachelor degree graduates
available for full-time employment had found a
job within four months of completing their
studies. This is comparable with the 2010 figure
and down from around 79 per cent in 2009 .
Bachelor degree graduates from the fields of
mining engineering, medicine and pharmacy
achieved the best employment outcomes in 2010,
with more than 97 per cent of graduates from
these fields securing full-time employment within
four months of graduation
New graduates who found full-time employment
employed a number of strategies, with one-in-four
graduates (26.4 per cent) in a full-time job
having found that job via the internet. An
additional 14.5 per cent found their jobs via
personal networks (family and friends),
one-in-ten found their job via their university
careers service, and the remainder used a variety
of strategies including approaching employers
directly.

Resume Builder

Students are able to build a resume from their
profile section where personal details,
experiences and skills are recorded. The resume
builder draws from the information a student
enters and puts it into a specific format
according to the types of jobs they are applying
for
Even with minimum details such as name, address,
contact details, the resumes they can download
have instructions on what information to include
and how to format their resume.

19
Events system

Career Gateway is the main location for students
to register and find out about career related
events on campus. They are sent reminders prior
to the events they book for.
Students can
meet and network with employers on campus,
attend lunchtime career seminars on topics such
as interviews, writing tailored job applications,
attend our annual careers festivals and forums
such as accounting and beyond, Careers GradFest,
Science Industry Night
Over 17,000 students attended our group
