Graduate Joblessness

What can you do to make sure that you're not into this position when you finish your studies? Career advisors recommend working towards nothing during the school holidays to get experience about the kind of work you want to do eventually. This tactic may even result from a permanent position once the firm sees what you are capable in doing.
