Apprentley Aldi got 12,000 applications for 50 graduate jobs this year! Showing the competition out there and a recent study by the BBC has shown every graduate has to apply for at least 10 jobs before they are even considered.  Apprently graduate job vacancies are down by 7%.  Lucky that Pareto are seeing more and more graduate recruiters increasing their graduate intake this year.

The Association of Graduate Recruiters today also said: "Intense competition for graduate jobs means that more than three quarters of employers require at least a 2:1 degree grade".  Lucky at Pareto that we don't screen on the classification of the degree result.
