Vacancies for Graduates
During hard economic times, there may be a decrease in the number of job openings available, especially for graduates. This can make it more difficult for new graduates to find employment. However, it is important to remember that many companies are still hiring and that even in a tough job market, there are opportunities for those who are well-prepared and willing to put in the effort to find them. Additionally, some companies may focus on hiring entry-level workers, including graduates, as they are usually cheaper to hire and train. So, it is important to be open to different roles and opportunities and to continue to develop the skills and qualifications that employers are looking for.
