There is guarded optimism over graduate vacancies – with the outlook in some sectors rosier than last year, according to the Graduate Trends Survey 2003/4, by graduate careers publishers GTI.
The study of 500 companies found that in most sectors, students responded to a challenging market by delaying their applications, often until after graduation.
Key findings:

– The use of online application systems has risen relentlessly over the last four years, but this year the growth has flattened out.
