Tuesdays at Three: (from letters for the underemployed)

Essentially, almost all employers seek those with: You can develop these skills in many places, and not only as an intern. While it is true that employers are investing more in intern programmes, there are twice as many graduate jobs than there are internships.

Employers really value experience and this can be gained in many different environments. Your experiences, and what you have learned from them, can demonstrate to an employer that you have the skills or the potential to develop into the employee they seek. Work experience, an internship, volunteering, a part-time job, all count as long as you reflect on your experiences and articulate your abilities through the application process.

Every graduate applicant can talk about their academic achievements and the problems their group had to get a piece of work done on time. However, volunteering shows you have the drive to get out of bed and do something other than study and watch TV. Also, many recruiters talk of candidates who fail to translate obviously great experience into workplace skills.

Put yourselves in the shoes of the employer. They will only hire you if they think you are someone worth investing in, someone who will add value to their organisation. Looking for a job? Browse Guardian Jobs or sign up to Guardian Careers for the latest job vacancies and career advice.

And while the odds of leaving underemployment are generally good — the longer you remain underemployed, the less likely you are to do so. But after then there is very little rise in the number of underemployed moving into full-employment status — in effect you have three years to get off underemployment or you are stuck.

And to an extent it provides a bit of caution to the general doom around the topic. While clearly younger workers are more likely to be underemployed both than other workers and than in the past, the good news is that for most workers, underemployment is a temporary state. The concern is whether the level of people leaving underemployment will be due to people getting more hours or because they have decided to give up hoping to get more hours.

Should the latter be the case going forward, that would suggest that work overall is becoming less secure and in all likelihood is seeing a rise in casual work across part-time work — even among those not seeking more hours. But while the Hilda data does suggest most within two or three years do exit underemployment, the data also suggests that the best chance for workers who have been underemployed with the same employer for more than two years is to look for more hours elsewhere.

For millions, underemployment is a new normal

Underemployment first really became an issue after the s recession — where the rates of underemployment soared for both men and women, reaching levels that would not be surpassed for over 15 years: Among part-time workers, they are only slightly more likely to be underemployed than those with advanced diplomas or bachelor degrees: Greg Jericho is a Guardian Australia columnist.
