The IT Job Board has launched a new job board focused on the needs of newly-qualified graduates trying to find their first IT position. 

www.itjobsforgraduates.com features more than 1,200 IT-only positions across a range of industry sectors, offered by a variety of key graduate recruiters.

Ray Duggins, managing director of The IT Job Board, says: “No matter how well qualified a graduate, their first foray into employment can be extremely daunting. “When it comes to an IT career, this is fuelled by the vast array of – mostly irrelevant – positions that are presented as a result of searching general job sites. Paradoxically, this information overload is combined with a lack of practical advice on how graduates can give themselves the best possible chance of success in the technology arena, as well as check that they are focusing on positions that are right for them. We wanted to redress the balance, guiding graduates through the maze to ensure their needs are met - after all, these people are the future of the IT industry.”

The site provides jobseekers with information to enable them to make informed decisions about taking their first steps on the career ladder. Material includes guides offering advice on how to be attractive to potential employers, as well as recruiter profiles to help them select organisations that are the right 'fit' for their individual needs.
