Students looking to renew their university insurance policies may be interested to hear one expert's advice on securing a job after graduation.

Managing director of People Risk Solutions Andrew Pullman explained how the current employment market is tough.

He described how the economic situation has led to many companies cutting back on their costs and "future investments", which means new graduates are competing with individuals who finished university the previous year.

However, it was suggested there are still ways to land a career if people are willing to consider all options.

"As long as graduates are prepared to be flexible with their first job, there are still opportunities out there," Mr Pullman stated.

Marketing and finance roles in the private sector are proving particularly fruitful for graduates, it was noted.

Mr Pullman's comments follow a recent article in the Guardian that claimed university leavers with skills as marketing, economics and planning are in high demand.
