Working in the European Union : a guide for graduate recruiters and job-seekers : fourth edition

Over the past 10 years Europe has experienced a social, cultural and economic transformation to rival any in its written history. After centuries of internal strife a new European generation has emerged; aware of the differences between cultures and nations, but facing those differences with interest rather than fear. At the heart of this transformation is education, not just within Member States but between them. The front line in Europe is now employment, within and between those countries. This book is a practical'guide designed to help make the mobility of young university graduates a reality by providing them - and those who would recruit them - with basic information on recruitment mechanisms and qualifications. The idea for this book sprang originally from the fact that membership of the European Community (EC) was having a dramatic effect on the patterns of trade of the Member States. As a result, commercial and business organizations more and more needed graduates who spoke several European languages and, if possible, were personally familiar with several European countries.
