Graduates’ Job Hunting under the Financial Crisis

Terms of reference:

The MME3 Research Methods module offers students the opportunity to work on a topic they like making research on it and trying to explain how things are afterwards thanks to academic and professional sources. This report was ordered by Jessica Lichy in September 2009. It is the result of a 12 weeks group work composed of 6 students.

These students are: Jean-Baptiste Brancier,Fang Lu, Camille Litaudon, Huang Wen, Wang Yingying and Zhu Yi.

The final work has to be submitted on the 9th of November 2009 and its oral presentation will take place on the same day at IDRAC.

This work has been realized thanks to Microsoft Word software 2007 and the online software Encuesta Facil (www.encuestafacil.com) which helped us creating a survey and analyzing its results.
