With the lack of exciting graduate jobs available these days and fierce competition for the ones that do exist, would throwing caution and the typical job search to the wind be a realistic option for the brave amongst you?
'Entrepreneur First' is a program that has been set up for final year or graduate mavericks with ideas and who fancy trying to run a company. If the rat race is not for you, this could be an viable alternative. You have to apply and go through a selection process to make sure you share enough genes with the Branson's and Sugar's of the world. However, if you are lucky enough to be chosen, you will find yourself in a privileged position with mentors, support, access to potential funding channels and networking opportunities all laid, fairly close to your feet. For the really motivated students, this is your perfect chance to demonstrate your entrepreneurialism and start something. The worst that could happen is having yet another interesting experience to stick on your CV! For inspiration, check out the members of the advisory board. I really didn't think that graduates could have such vision! For more information and how to apply please find the link to their site below.
