In search for a graduate job

As I write this, exhausted, fingers on the keys of an equally tired laptop, closing the twenty-something open windows before me, I find myself a little sad. Sitting here, sifting through a Google search muddle of: “Graduate job Scotland”, “Graduate schemes UK”, “Graduate work, anywhere, please?”, “Soon to be extremely poor graduate, HELP!”, I realize that I might never find the elusive placement I’m after.

Melodramatic Googling aside, the job crisis is real, and it could be hitting us harder in 2017 than ever before. These attempts –– vague Internet searches, seemingly empty threads towards one highly competitive position at a company hundreds of miles away, never ending applications –– are rather disappointing. Granted, this may not apply to those smart enough who found a job from day one. But, for the rest of us, the uncertain majority, it is increasingly clear that a university education alone is not the life-affirming trip to professional work that it once was.

Where it is fair to say that degrees are still highly regarded in the working world, they are no longer a golden ticket. In fact, last year statistics stated that around 58% of graduates are in jobs deemed to be “non-graduate” positions. Another survey revealed that graduates from the wealthiest 20% of families were still earning 30% more than the rest ten years after leaving higher education. Clearly then, despite my own fruitless search on career websites, there are positions out there. But with the majority of graduates entering into jobs without a degree requirement, and the elite minority remaining the UK’s top earners, are we experiencing a turn in graduate opportunity?

Something I have found really striking about application process is simply how costly it is. I spent the past four years building a solid CV, working in and out of university to refine my own professional skills and felt rather confident in my ability to find relevant work in Scotland. However, as filling in forms leads to booking trains or planes, arranging serial interviews, checking into inns, choosing transport routes, it seems that opportunity is twinned with your financial situation. Well, my card was recently declined in the library café, so this is something that is weighing on my mind.

While the wealthiest of graduates continue to snag the high earning positions after University, the rest of us face new competition, as graduate vacancies are once again streamlined by the rise of apprenticeships. But, where does it leave us, the soon to be un-qualified, over-qualified degree holders of 2017 that have slipped through the employment net? Is it back to full-time education for the rest of our lives? Working “for now”, saving until your dream becomes financially viable? Applying anyway? Taking out another loan (or five)? Truth is, it’s probably all of these things.

It’s probably sticking it out, demanding to be listened to, building up a CV that you are proud of and staying true to your own aspirations. It’s probably all the things we were told at the Careers Fairs, in interviews, by our parents and preached ourselves. University might no longer be the only slipway into professional work, but it is a weighted way in, and that degree (which, by the way, you will get) is something you have earned and something that will open doors for you, even if you can’t see them just yet and even if, in 2017, there is a bit more of a queue.

16. The expression “have slipped through employment net” (paragraph 5) is used to refer to …

1) job applicants.

2) recent graduates.

3) working students.

4) employees in general.

Imagine that you are doing a project on what teenagers in Zetland think about school uniform. You have found some data on the subject – the results of the opinion polls (see the table below). Comment on the data in the table and give your opinion on the subject of the project.

The opinion poll question:

What do you think about school uniform?

Write 200–250 words.

Use the following plan:

– make an opening statement on the subject of the project;

– select and report 2–3 facts;

– make 1–2 comparisons where relevant and give your comments;

– outline a problem that can arise with wearing school uniform and suggest a way of solving it;

– conclude by giving and explaining your opinion on the role of school uniform for students.

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.
Trees may look silent and motionless, but underground they can be surprisingly well connected. Their roots are linked with fungi that form a huge network beneath the soil. These fungi can carry water and minerals to trees, while trees provide them with sugars made during photosynthesis. The network can also help plants exchange chemical signals. For example, when insects attack a tree, it may release substances that warn nearby plants about the danger. Some trees can then increase their natural defences before the insects reach them. Trees can also send resources through their underground connections. A large, healthy tree may provide nutrients to a younger plant growing in a shady place where it cannot produce enough food itself. Scientists are still studying how complex these interactions are, but one thing is clear: a forest is not simply a collection of separate trees. It is a living system in which plants, fungi and other organisms are closely connected.
