There are 2 things you need to know about Carl Gilleard. The first is that he's head of the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) which makes him a walking oracle on the graduate market. The second is that he's an uber golf enthusiast. So to tempt him away from the office we invited him to indulge in both his passions...

The result is this video which is the first in a regular series of films offering a unique insight into how things look in the graduate market each quarter. In it Carl reveals his advice for graduates, his views on the key issues facing employers and his predictions for 2010.

But most importantly, remember readers...drive for show, putt for dough!

Thinking of going to university or fancy a bit of postgraduate study?

Then you're going to love a new site called UnionView. They've done for universities what we're doing for graduate jobs and careers - building a library of engaging, impartial and honest videos which knock the socks off traditional static brochures or written profiles.

You can jump through different sections of video for each uni making it really interactive and you'll be hard pushed to find an institution that hasn't been covered.
