Small can be beautiful for smart self-starters
Article Abstract:
Graduates often find, several years after leaving university, that they are more attracted to smaller concerns than to leading multinationals, according to Nigel Steljes, founder of Steljes Ltd, the UK's leading distributor of electronic presentation equipment and the fifth fastest-expanding independent concern. A graduate's individual creativity actually has more chance of being expressed in a small but rapidly expanding company than in a large conglomerate. He recommends that those seeking to be entrepreneurs look for opportunities offered by the Millennium problem.

How to keep high fliers from flying away
Article Abstract:
The UK's leading companies are finding it difficult to retain their best graduate recruits. There has been a revival in demand for graduates, and this means that graduates can dictate terms and tend to have few reservations about moving to another employer. Graduates tend to think in a rather short-term way, and expect to make rapid career progression. Companies wishing to retain graduates should focus on giving individual attention, especially in terms of career development.

Beat the boys at their own game
Article Abstract:
Manufacturers of computer games are beginning to realize that they must involve more women in designing games if they are to expand their customer base beyond boys and young men. It is becoming clear that girls and women are not particularly attracted to 3-D games, and that they prefer games with an intellectual content to those largely based on violence. Latest games aimed at girls and women have an element of puzzle and progression.
