It’s not
something we really consider when we've got our eyes on the target. Job-hunting
tunnel vision means we end up focusing more on that joy-upon-joy goal of
actually getting a decent job when we graduate, rather than ponder the
practicalities of which bus route we’ll need.

These days, more graduates are taking the big steps, or rather several plane journeys, to go abroad for work and most of us wouldn't bat an eyelid at the thought of moving to a new town. I do think employers appreciate flexible candidates who will consider relocation, but for many jobs, it’s not a matter for consideration but a standard requirement: Oxford is the publishing ghetto and everyone knows London is the natural habitat of bankers and brokers. I guess I've been a bit unconventional by living abroad so much but I've learnt a fair bit about relocation along the way.
