How working for nothing can pay off
Article Abstract:
Shadowing and voluntary work can provide graduates with skills and experience which are valuable to prospective employers. It is also better for retaining confidence than being unemployed. Work experience does not lead to paid work within the same firm, but offers practice in working in a team, communication and problem-solving. Volunteers should ask companies whether they have any projects which they could do unpaid. The government Graduate Gateway scheme offers work placements.

How Powerbook battled to beat writer's block
Article Abstract:
The Apple Powerbook portable computer, launched in 1991, had a very significant impact on developments in the laptop computer sector. However, the company has been less successful in portable computing recently. It has experienced many difficulties with its latest PowerPC-based 500 series, launched in 1995. The next series was due to be launched earlier in 1996, but the company has decided to delay this in order to ensure that quality issues have been resolved.
