Student mental health and transitions into, through and out of university: student and staff perspectives (2021, background): “The transition out of university and into employment or postgraduate study can coincide with feelings of uncertainty or ambivalence (Perrone and Vickers 2003; Yazedjian, Kielaszek, and Toews 2010).”
Developing career management competencies among undergraduates and the role of work-integrated learning (2016, background): “…between graduates’ labour market expectations and what they term ‘job search realities’, with many undergraduates expecting a ‘good job’ upon graduation and being unprepared for extensive job searches and the anxiety associated with ongoing career self-management (Perrone and Vickers 2003).”
Millennials’ work values: differences across the school to work transition (2015, background): “In addition to being under-informed about the realities of work life (Perrone and Vickers, 2003; Saks and Ashforth, 1997; Wendlandt and Rochlen, 2008), new graduates often form unrealistically high expectations of the workplace (Gardner and Lambert, 1993; Ng et al.”
Addressing the College-to-Work Transition (2008, background): “The inaccurate expectations they hold can be a cause of considerable disappointment, leading to job dissatisfaction (Gardner & Lambert, 1993; Graham & McKenzie, 1995; Perrone & Vickers, 2003).”
Networking behaviour, graduate employability: a social capital perspective (2017, background): “In particular students may be concerned about their future employability as many have invested time and money in their studies in order to advance their careers (Perrone and Vickers, 2003; Tomlinson, 2008).”
The graduate attributes we’ve overlooked: enhancing graduate employability through career management skills (2009, background): “Fifth, several studies have shown that undergraduate students tend to have a poorly formed idea of what life beyond university might entail and do not autonomously engage in active thinking about their future careers until graduation (Lau & Pang, 1995; Perrone & Vickers, 2003).”
