Go on a wild CV spree
Not recommended for the faint-hearted. This involves painstakingly applying to absolutely every job opportunity you happen to spot online.
From toilet cleaner to telecommunications specialist applications, nothing is out of reach for the CV scatterer.
Unfortunately spamming employers with the same generic application is unlikely to ever get you anywhere in this absolutely vicious job market. It might be better to pick a tighter focus.

Choose death by internships
A few weeks or even a month or two on work experience is fantastic CV fodder.
But when you’re interning for months on end, starving yourself just to afford transport costs to a dreary office just to fetch tea all day, something has to change.
If working for free sounds like hell, you could pick up a paid internship here.
Admit defeat and do a masters
You’ll be a bit older than your mates when you finally graduate
Let’s be honest, immediate employment isn’t for everyone. Who wouldn’t take the chance to escape the real world for another year and dive back into uni life?
But with fees pushing nine grand without the chance of a government loan, a masters certainly isn’t for everyone.
Maybe it’s time you finally started chipping away at your mountain of student loans and signed up to a recruitment agency instead.
