The MBA is now seen as a post-experience as well as a postgraduate degree, and it is most unlikely that a good business school in Britain or Europe will accept a newly qualified graduate on such a programme.
But access to jobs can also be difficult at the other end of the spectrum, where highly qualified graduate jobseekers apply but stand little chance of being taken on, as is the case with interpreters and translators, psychologists and lawyers.
Below, I describe some of the research opportunities that are available at ASU to qualified graduate student and postdoctoral candidates.
If PIs cannot attract postdoctoral fellows from the United States or institutions cannot attract qualified graduate students, they widen their search geographically or lower admission standards.
Later in the month, a department head at a major university told me about two equally qualified graduate students who had interviewed for jobs at one of America's largest and best-known companies, a software firm.
This paper analyses a work placement scheme established to create the conditions to: (i) incubate new designs in the jewellery sector in Birmingham; (ii) support a jewellery company compete more effectively in the global market; (iii) assist a newly qualified graduate jeweller to enter the jewellery sector.
Faculty members did express reservations about some aspects of collective bargaining on campus, including some uncertainty that the agreements produced "allow for the selection of the most academically qualified graduate students" or "provide a good way of channeling and resolving complaints".
These trainees, who were all in the final 4 weeks of their F1 programme, were then asked to complete a questionnaire reporting their own personal experience of the common practical procedures that a newly qualified graduate is expected to perform safely and effectively.
