Essex graduate Luisa Downey has gained national media interest through her alternative approaches to finding a career from handing out her CV on rush-hour trains to creating her own YouTube video.

She is now discovering the extra support available to Essex graduates looking to find the right career and working with one of the University's Employability Co-ordinators Rose Matthews.

Many of our graduates find the right graduate role immediately after University, but we are always happy to offer help and advice if our graduates need a little extra support.

• To find out more about our support for students and graduates visit our Employability and Careers Centre website.

Luisa said: "Rose's help has been absolutely amazing. She has put me in touch with so many people who have been so helpful. The University has been so positive and they really are helping me."

• Hear Luisa discuss her experiences with Rose and our Director of Employability Dave Stanbury on our SoundCloud channel.
