I’m a grad, get me out of here!
The lectures are over, the final year assignment deadlines have passed and the days of Diagnosis Murder, negotiating extensions, pasta and Snakebite are nearing to an end. As your well-meaning parents may have repeatedly noted, the time has come to go out into the real world, start looking for “a proper job” and figure out what you’re DOING with your life!
Well, if you’d rather combine boosting your CV with backpacking around the world then why not spend up to a year abroad working or volunteering in some of the most exciting destinations on earth? Not only are lifelong memories formed on gap years abroad but they also give grads the kind of skills and experiences that jump out at future employers. So there, mum and dad.
Top-rated programmes for graduates escaping the UK blues!
Work Experience
BUNAC offers tonnes of gap year programmes for graduates looking to travel and work abroad, and with competition in the UK jobs market at an all-time high, there has never been a better time to get away from it all. Best of all, the experience of working or volunteering abroad boosts your CV, proves your independence and motivation and can be a great talking point at future interviews.
So before you start on the endless job applications and cover letters, start thinking about how you would spend the best year of your life. Remember, taking a gap year will never again be this easy!
