A service that several companies offer is a Job Placement Assistance program. It's intention is to assist your search for your first position. The need for this feature can be bigged up out of proportion though - it's easy for companies marketing departments to make too much of it. In reality, the huge shortage of staff in the UK is the reason you'll find a job.

Get your CV updated straight-away though (advice and support for this should come from your course provider). Don't delay till you've finished your exams. Getting your CV considered is far better than not even being known about. A decent number of junior support roles are got by people in the early stages of their course. The most reliable organisations to help get you placed are most often local IT focused employment agencies. Because they only get paid when they place you, they have the necessary incentive to try that bit harder.

Many people, it would appear, are prepared to study their hearts out (for years sometimes), and then just stop instead of attempting to secure a job. Promote yourself... Do everything you can to put yourself out there. A job isn't just going to bump into you.

Many people question why traditional degrees are less in demand than the more commercially accredited qualifications? Industry is of the opinion that to cover the necessary commercial skill-sets, the right accreditation from the likes of CISCO, Adobe, Microsoft and CompTIA most often has much more specialised relevance - for much less time and money. Patently, a reasonable degree of relevant additional detail must be covered, but core specialised knowledge in the exact job role gives a vendor educated person a massive advantage.

Put yourself in the employer's position - and you required somebody who had very specific skills. What should you do: Go through loads of academic qualifications from various applicants, struggling to grasp what they've learned and which workplace skills they have, or choose a specific set of accreditations that exactly fulfil your criteria, and make your short-list from that. You can then focus on how someone will fit into the team at interview - instead of long discussions on technical suitability.
