It was also discovered that 42% of those questioned concluded that the media was the main reason why they believed that finding a job after graduation was impossible.
When asked about what their biggest worry was about searching for a job, 69% asked suggested that the competition level was their biggest fear. 55% of students asked stated that they worried that there just weren't enough jobs around for everybody.
When questions regarding the biggest career worries of the students were raised, 69% of those asked stated that competition was the most daunting with 55% also admitting that the fear that here was 'not enough jobs to go around' preoccupied them.
A quarter of those asked stated that they genuinely believed that employers were too picky and that criteria were set too high to achieve. This suggests that students also felt that although they had passed their degree they were still unprepared for taking on roles related to what they studied.
The current recession is also blamed for the attitude of the students and only 4% of those due to graduate said they felt at all optimistic about the current economic climate. Eleven per cent said they felt that they may start feeling more positive in the future.
