Abstract

This paper reports a longitudinal study of the early career experiences of graduates in non-graduate occupations (GRINGOs). Graduate underemployment has previously been studied in terms of the objective career, typically using cross-sectional survey-based designs, and viewing it as a temporary transition prior to the ‘launch’ of a graduate career. The impact on the subjective career has been inadequately explored, which a number of researchers have identified as a significant gap in our understanding. Our study suggests that how graduates frame their situation of underemployment may have a significant impact on their career expectations and subsequent career development.
