So, you've passed your degree...

Article Abstract:

Well-qualified university graduates must demonstrate numerous other skills when job seeking, with candidates likely to be required to pass two or more interviews and undertake personality questionnaires and psychometric aptitude tests. Employers will seek evidence of skills such as decision-making, problem solving, communication and business awareness. Interviews fail to select the best person in 90% of cases, which can be costly for the employer. Some employers are criticized for having excessive expectations, however, which deters some students from applying for jobs.

Only 13.5% of women held positions superior to that of a principal lecturer, and 6% had professorships. Christine King is one of three women to take up positions of vice chancellor in September 1995.
