Dan Hawes, head of marketing at grb.uk.com, said that a lot of graduates immediately look towards graduate recruitment schemes not realising that there are 'thousands and thousands' of other career options available.
He said that these graduate jobs are not always obvious or easy to find but will offer great opportunities for jobseekers.
'If you take a large IT firm, they have no problem hiring IT graduates, but they need people for logistics, HR, marketing, finance, accounting, all those sort of things, and it's not always an obvious choice,' he explained.
The CV Centre added that many organisations expect graduates to have work experience specific to the industry they are looking to work in.
For this reason the source advised that students take advantage of their long holidays to do work experience or internships that will improve their chances of securing a job after graduating.
