What jobs are highly available for someone with a b.s.c Computing?

You could work at a telephone call centre. Many of the thousands of recent graduates holding a BSC in Computing are doing just that. Unfortunately the trend is to site the call centres overseas leaving the graduates to wish that they has followed a more useful degree course like working shelf filling at TESCO or digging ditches for the council.

What jobs are highly available for someone with a b.s.c Computing?
I agree that call centres are a good option and fortunately for you the trend has changed and now more and more companies are recruiting employees for helpdesks in the UK. Being a PhD student in Compting, I receive e-mails from my peers for job vacancies that I can't actually apply for, since my research takes up most of my time.





The latest one I got yesterday and it concerns an IT helpdesk; you can have a look at the company at www.searchcallcentre.co.uk





The e-mail text says:

This is by no means advertising, I just thought it could be helpful and if I were in your shoes, I would like somebody to give me a starting point. You can also check your local job centres and recruitement offices. Many of my friends got a job this way.





If you have recently graduated, you should also check the job vacancies at your university. From time to time, lab demonstrators and tutors are required; although this is not a full-time job, it can help you gain some money and work experience.





You can also have a look at these two websites that most of the afformentioned friends were looking at:


www.s1jobs.co.uk


www.prospects.ac.uk - check for graduate prospects





Hoep this helps, best of luck :)
