Make yourself stand out from other graduates. Everyone applying for
a graduate position will have a degree (or equivalent). What makes you
different from the rest?
Employers are interested in graduates who are "well-rounded" individuals,
who have done more with their time at university than just study and
socialise, who have done things that are difficult or unusual. " I like
it when applicants have done things outside their comfort zone" - a
graduate recruiter.
