Companies are looking for the most recent graduates in the fields of engineering and finance
Although the opportunities for career starters with a higher education have narrowed somewhat compared to last August, there are still a number of areas that stand out, where the masses of fresh graduates are welcomed with open arms, and in the field of engineering, wages are still outstanding.
According to the domestic research conducted by Profession.hu at the end of 2022, the majority of Generation Z, who make up a significant proportion of recent graduates, spent between 1-3 months looking for a job, however, according to their own admission, one-third found it difficult to find a job, so they needed up to a year or even more time to find a job. to find your first job. The members of the Z, Y and X generations participating in the research all agreed that it is the easiest for the youngest to find a job, and that they have the most opportunities.
