Depends, there is prestige for some unis within the larger corporations, but I think that at the end of the day, it is the amount of experience, and your personal skills that set you apart from other graduates.

hes right. a lot of people think that they should go to a specific uni just because of how popular it is. Employers may be biased towards hiring based on which uni u studied at. Nowadays, its more about personal attributes rather than simply education. Communication skills, time management, teamwork, etc. As nerdasdasd mentioned, these skills will differentiate yourself from other graduates.

im assuming that you're interested in commerce or business right, nizdiz ?? choosing where really depends on ur lifestyle. transportation time could be one. hope it helps

True, but at graduate level, how long does it take to assess those qualitative attributes? I'm not saying employers are biased but there are some realities here that those aspects will be considered at the interview stage, but whether you get an interview or not in the first place can unfortunately be linked to other factors too.

I am aware that there are potentially 5 main avenues to which graduates get into a sound job after uni.

1. Graduate program: Potentially the easiest way into a career on the back of everyday partying during uni
2. Coop/cadet/scholarship: working hard consistently during uni but great head start to the rest of the graduating pack.
3. Connections with a job lined up before graduation: either through their own charm or luck, they know someone who knows someone up there
4. Working their way up steadily: either through an entry level role (i.e. client services which includes admin or call centre) or smaller company with more responsibilities and steadily going up the corporate ladder. And the other is working steadily already throughout uni with some experience and being able to elevate themselves at the same level as grads by the end of their program.
5. self-employed entrepreneur: highly unlikely but not out of sight - in short - I have seen it happen.
