However, once you figure out the route you want to go down, you will find that the skills you've learnt can be applied to almost ANY career.
To make things a bit easier - as it can be overwhelming trying to find jobs - I have compiled a list of graduate job sites where you can find a job specifically for graduates.
This jobsite is the 'biggest independent graduate job board in the UK'*, and it gives you the option to search for jobs based on sector, location, industry and degree, as well as having different internships advertised.
There are 4,714 recruiters registered with graduate-jobs.com, and these range from international business such as BAE Systems to small independent business.
2. Prospects
Prospects is the 'UK's official graduate careers website', and not only advertises jobs but also offers careers advice and postgraduate study options.
You can search through lists of graduate employers, work experience and internships, as well as simply searching through the graduate job search, where you select keywords, location and industry.
3. reed.co.uk
This jobsite is more of a general jobsite - advertising a variety of jobs requiring a variety of qualifications. However, it does have a Graduate Jobs section, and currently there are around 15,000 jobs advertised.
Like with the other sites, you can search by specialism, industry and location, but you can also search by salary, full-time and part-time and the type of employment (i.e. permanent, temporary, contract, etc).
Although the website is not specific to graduate jobs, there are a large amount of jobs advertised specifically for graduates.
You can filter by industry, employer type, job function, location, salary and listing type (i.e. job vacancy, volunteering, graduate scheme, etc), which makes finding a job specific to your wants and needs a lot easier.
5. GradJobs
This jobsite is specific to graduates, therefore, there is a high volume of jobs available. As well as being able to search for graduate jobs specific to industry, location and salary, the website also enables you to search for Recruitment Exhibitions, which again are specific to industry, location and job role.
6. milkround
In addition to having graduate jobs, and search options such as industry and location, it also offers advice, news and the option to search through specific employers and industries.
Like with the Reed website, totaljobs.com is usually more of a general jobsite for people with a variety of qualifications, however, they have a 'graduate zone' where there are currently around 12,000 jobs being advertised.
The website offers tools and advice, and is also affiliated with Postgrad.com, where you can find a number of post graduate options.
If you decide to directly approach employers without applying for a vacancy, it is worth looking at The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers, registering is free of charge, and you can find a list of the best employers in Britain for graduates in 2013-2014.
It is also worth mentioning that there is a wide range of employers who offer graduate schemes, and although competition is often high for these jobs, remember you will have a degree that's not career specific, but instead gives you a vast amount of applicable skills and attributes that would make you a valued member of any company!
