Abstract
Graduate adjustment to employment is focused on. How expectations are formed and behaviours rehearsed prior to entry, how expectations, illusions and promises are transacted through recruitment, and how first steps are taken into a new world of opportunities, obligations and relationships are analysed. The ways in which the transition might be used and casualties minimised at all stages are highlighted.
