Overdrafts after
uni in a nutshell

When you graduate you probably dont
have to say goodbye to your interest free
overdraf - for a little while at least.
Banks mostly oer graduate overdrafs where the
interest free bit gets smaller and smaller over the
following years (though not necessarily the size of
the overdraf itself).
The deal a bank will give you tends to depend on
a variety of factors, so the best thing is to go and
talk to them about your account as you move into
graduate life.
Banks also tend to have more exibility than they
let on, so its worth playing hardball - you can tell
them youre going to leave for better deals if they
arent giving you what you want.
Year 1 1500 interest free
Year 2 1000 interest free
7 a month charge but includes mobile
insurance and some other stu
Year 1 3000 Lower interest tiers in
subsequent years
Year 1 2000 interest free
Year 2 1500 interest free
Year 3 1000 interest free

Paying back your
student loan in
a nutshell

Repaying student loans of up to 50,000
can sound like an almost impossible task -
but when you look at the student loan debt
as more of a graduate tax, it becomes
much more manageable.
The reasons why student loan repayments are more like a
graduate tax are:
Payments are taken automatically
As soon as you earn over a certain amount (21k for those
who start uni in September 2012) repayments are taken
directly from your income. Thankfully this means you will
never miss a payment!
Its progressive
This means that the more you earn the more you pay
back. Essentially the repayments are calculated as a
percentage of your earnings rather than a xed amount,
meaning those who can aord to repay more, do.
Bigger loans dont mean bigger repayments
As repayments are calculated as a percentage of your
earnings rather than as a percentage of your loan, the
amount you pay each month will be the same regardless
of how much you have borrowed. The only dierence is
that the more you borrow, the LONGER it will take you to
pay it o.
But it is NOT a tax
The reason this so-called graduate tax isnt actually a
tax is that you can pay it o. Once you have repaid your
student loan in full the repayments will no longer be
taken from your account, unlike income tax which will be
taken as long as you have a job.
So, that student debt shouldnt seem quite so worrying
now? Lets move on to some more important matters.

01
FOCUS your search
You could apply for loads of varied
jobs without having the full set of
skills and experience for any of
them. Or, you can specialise, and
make sure youre armed to the teeth
with relevant skills, knowledge and
experience, for a particular type of
job. Which could take some time.
But its a surer route to success than
applying for jobs you dont have
a chance of getting because you
dont stand out from the crowd.
The key decision you have to make
is choosing the narrower area to
specialise in.
02
Specialise your job
applications
Focus and specialisation applies
right down to the actual individual
job applications themselves. One
specialised application, with the
CV, cover letter and anything extra
tailored exactly to that particular job
is worth ten, twenty, generic one
size ts all applications.
If you nd a job, you REALLY like,
thats REALLY you, why not spend a
week on the application, rather than
applying for a dozen OK ones? Itll
probably make you twelve times
more likely to get to interview than
the others, and itll be for something
youre genuinely excited about.
03
Evidence, evidence,
evidence
I know I can do a brilliant job,
Ive got a great sense of humour,
Im highly organised.
Its a terrible thing, but not having
met you, employers cant just take
your word for it. Any time you claim
a skill - show evidence. And show
the best evidence possible. A link
to an award, or an online review of a
play you directed is better evidence
than was commended for directing
a school house play and can show
certicates upon request. A link to a
tumblr that shows the kinds of things
you nd funny (or maybe your own
memes?) is better evidence than all
my friends say Im hilarious. If you
havent got good enough evidence for
your skills - get some.
Ten step guide to getting a job

Job hunting is a complicated, scary and truly exhausting activity ofen specialised to the
types of positions youre applying for. However, following these 10 crucial steps will give you a
massive boost towards bagging that rst job.
04
Turn your Twitter stream
into an insider CV
Social media monitoring service
Reppler surveyed 300 recruiters:
90% have visited a candidates
prole on a social network
69% of recruiters have rejected a
candidate based on content
found on his or her social
networking proles
This shows that your social media
presence (Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube account etc.) is important.
It can ruin your chances of getting
employment.
But the good news is that you
can control it. If your Facebooks not
saying the right thing about you
- make it private.
The even better news, is that your
social media presence provides a
huge opportunity. According to the
same survey:
68% have hired a candidate based
on his or her presence on those
networks.
You have the power to shape and
control your online prole. To have it
working for you. Your Twitter stream
can become the ideal insider
snap-shot of your life, your style,
humour and interests. One that you
want an employer to see. One that
will help you get that job.
05
Cast your net wide
Broaden your search as far as can go.
Systematically cover all companies
in the industry, including smaller
and medium sized ones. Visit their
specic websites. If theyre not
hiring, send speculative letters, or
make speculative phone-calls. Scour
industry press, see which companies
are thriving, growing fastest, target
these rst.

06
Exploit networks, grow
networks
Never underestimate the power of
who you know, or who you can get
to know.
At the least, people you know or
hardly know or who youve never
met but know someone you vaguely
know, can give you invaluable advice
and info. At best they can be the key
reason for you nding employment.
Conduct regular network audits
- make sure you havent missed a
single contact. Go through all your
Facebook friends. All you mothers
friends. All your grandmothers
friends. All the people that live
in your grandmothers sheltered
housing, and all of their sons,
daughters and granddaughters.
Seriously. Leads can come from the
strangest, most tenuous links.
Furthermore actively grow your
network. Got a friend with a job
in an industry related to your job
search? Go and stay with them, sleep
on their couch. Meet their work
colleagues. Find out about their
working life, learn what you can from
them and their peers. You dont have
to become a networking maniac,
just make sure you get yourself into
positions that give your network
the opportunity to grow and ask for
advice, info and yes, help. People
can be generous.

Get as much relevant work
experience as possible in your
eld but temp too to keep your
hand in and earn money. I got
my ideal job in marketing while
covering reception temporarily
at a marketing agency.
Job 13
14 Guide to life afer university chapter 15
1. Whistle while you work hard
Youre at work, what better thing to do than work hard at
it? Aim to be as capable and eective as you possible can
be whatever job youre doing - its invaluable to get into
the habit. Be open to learning, identifying and improving
on your weaknesses. If you can do this without losing your
smile too, youre on to a winning formula.
2. Become indispensable
Work yourself into such a position that it would be a real
problem if you lef. This can ofen be done by nding niches
that you can take on ownership of - important areas in a
company that seem to have been bypassed or neglected.
3. Be enthusiastic. Show passion.
Show that you care.
Managers, when it comes down to it are simple folk -
theyre just worried about getting a job done as eciently
and brilliantly as possible. Knowing an employee is fully
with them on this aim, energetically supporting them - that
they care about the result too - is a comfort to them and
has an incalculably positive eect on how they perceive
that employee.
4. Be a chameleon
Take your cue from the environment you nd yourself in
and the culture surrounding you. This extends to styles of
dress, levels of noise in the oce, the ways in which work
is done and presented. Watch, learn, copy quickly.
5. Become an obsessive with the details
Get into the habit of making sure all details are addressed.
All grammar, formatting, timekeeping, self presentation...
right down to the state of your desk should be spotless.
6. You are now entirely a man or woman of
your word (and your colleagues words)
This one seems obvious, but its key. Whatever youve said
youll do or have been asked to do - do it. No matter how
small or how eeting the conversation. Someone who
meticulously follows up every action point, even if the rest
of the team seems to have forgotten about it, will be valued.
7. Initiative
Initiative is doing something good, coming up with
solutions and ideas, without being asked. Initiative can
be big, but also as small as, say, suggesting some useful
things you can do if youre boss looks too busy to set you
work. Consistently displaying initiative saves your manager
time, because you are eectively taking over management
of yourself and providing solutions to his or her problems.
It can make a manager - and colleagues - feel extremely
good about you indeed.
8. You are OBVIOUSLY not going to
Spend time on personal phone calls, e-mails or Facebook,
take extended lunch breaks, get out of control at your rst
social (or your second), have a patchy attendance record,
miss deadlines, chatter excessively, gossip, behave
impolitely...
9. Be inquisitive
Find out about other parts of the company and about
everyone elses role. Make it a project to nd out how it
all works, how it ts together. This shows that you care,
but also helps you care by seeing the bigger picture, the
point of what youre doing. Plus, your extra knowledge
will improve your work and undoubtedly be very useful to
you sooner rather than later.
10. Be human
The people around you are esh and blood. Show
respect, sympathy, be nice, make friends. If you are having
trouble with something, youre confused or worried,
remember to communicate with those around you about
it including your managers. Contribute to the social
environment, help make life nicer and more fun, help build
a feeling of community and warmth.
08
Follow up, follow up,
follow up...until someone
tells you not to
Or, I am no longer a shy English
person. Speak to anybody with
experience of the world of work -
things can get put o and put o
and then forgotten about. Most
employers when chased up on
something will be thinking Oh! How
awful! Ive been meaning to get back
to them.
Also, lack of a prompt reply, isnt
necessarily a negative sign - it can
mean theyre thinking about you
seriously.
Lastly, if someone says theyll
do something, help you out, get a
contact for you, get back to you,
hold them to it - politely - until they
say dierently.
09
Make nding a job, a job.
Procrastinating when job hunting can
be even worse than when studying
- there are no solid deadlines this
time. Its important you consistently
cover a decent amount of ground, or
youll end up hugely reducing your
chances and youll just feel like a bit
of a waster.
Be professional about your time
- have set working hours and stick
to them. Set goals of numbers of
applications to nish, useful people
to have contacted.
Be organised. Create les and
spreadsheets with companies,
networking contacts, past cover
letters, variations on your CV and
prep work for interviews. Keep track
of your progress and set reminders to
chase things up.


10
Release the pressure
Number 9 is important - getting a job is hard work. And you can improve
your chances by working harder. However this is equally as important.
The whole process of job hunting is mentally extremely intense. Every
application is actually a huge feat of imagination - you try and imagine
yourself in that role, the life that the job would demand, assessing it and
yourself - and thats before youve began the tactical assault of proving you
are better than anyone else for this role...
Keep fresh. Eat well (our top ten brain foods will help). Exercise.
Have regular social time booked in and have a bit of fun - putting your life
completely on hold, suering, getting ill or down, isnt going to help.
Youre playing a long game, you know the process could take a long time,
and you need a balanced, healthy and sustainable way of doing it.
In terms of interview and work experience nerves. Just remember that
youre a human dealing with other humans. You are someone whos
honestly trying to learn, who feels theyve got something to give. People
will help you, you dont need to feel ashamed or fearful because of being
in that position.
07
Maximise experience to
fuel exibility and tenacity
The only certainty as you set out on
the employment trail is that many of
your career plans and goals will shif,
adapt and maybe even u-turn.
Not many people end up doing
exactly what they set out thinking
they might do on leaving uni.
The key to this process being
successful is to keep feeding in the
fuel of experience.
Work experience, interview
experience, conversations with
those in the industry, placements,
trials and ultimately living with a
job, experiencing the culture and
witnessing the job progression.
These all feed your tenacity: I can
succeed in this, I want this or inform
your exibility: Am I playing to my
strengths?, Are there aspects to this
role which arent for me? Should I
adjust my plans accordingly?
Forget about pride, you are
bound to make mistakes - be
ready to receive criticism and
learn from it.

The BIG Wisdom on
Graduate Accommodation
Where you end up living afer uni falls into 2 main areas (unless youre travelling
or doing the Internships Hobo Thing*) - living at home or a atshare.
Oh, Big Wisdom! Guide us to successful graduate living...
Flatshare
Turn down the week-night craziness / Take pride in your
professional pad / Dont rush into choosing atmates
*The internship Hobo Thing - this is basically when youre doing unpaid placements/work experience and sleeping on friends
couches. Our advice is embrace the hobo spirit - mix up where you stay regularly to give folks their living rooms back for a little
while. And of course pitch in with chores - the more you do, the happier theyll be to see you return.
Living at home
Respect dont regress - pitch in
Save cash whilst the rents are low (or dont exist...)
You should treasure living at
home because once you move
out properly it is so expensive!
Id recommend going speed-atmating
(yep, just like speed-dating, but to meet
atmates). In an hour you can nd someone
compatible - it saves so much time!
Enjoy the home-cooked meals
and cleanliness whilst you work
on getting out of there. If you are
travelling on and o, this is an
ideal responsibility-free base.
Just be honest with your
parents and treat them with
respect then they should
respect you too and give you
your own space.
Take a deep breath and
be condent - its always fun
meeting new people and
exploring new towns.
It can be a brilliant thing.
Myself and lots of people I know
have made some great friends
and experienced whole new social
worlds through atsharing.
Its hard!!!!!! Realise that its
a change for them as well
though, so remember to tell
them if youre going out and
housekeeping must improve!
You can nd brilliant people,
people who are ne, and those
you really dont want to live
with - look for the rst two...
Get out of the habit of being a
lazy student and pitch in with all
jobs that need doing, youre like
a proper adult now!
If you go out on the lash on
a weekday, be considerate of
your atmates!!
