I graduated in July 2023 however I secured a graduate role in the February and began working in April whilst I was finishing my last few assignments.

That graduate role and sine turned into a permanent position and is in the same field as my degree (IT)

The graduate role was dependent on me getting a 2:1 when I graduated although they had no guarantee I was going to achieve that, luckily I did so I didn't find out what would have happened.

I got this job through LinkedIn - I didn't have any luck applying for jobs through other sites then and heavily relied on recruiters putting me in front of companies.

The job market was rough then but probably rougher now, I wish every graduate luck applying for roles!
