    I am in my final year of my degree with only a few weeks of college left before my exams in early to mid May. I am on course for a 2.2 and I was just wondering should I start to apply for jobs now or wait until my exams are over?

    Thanks in advance.

    same position as you, look and apply now, don't be overly stressed about it, focus on exams and actually getting you degree,

    Yes.
    If you can get an appointment with your Careers Unit in college approach them. totally underused facility.

    Best of luck.

    Some industries like accounting and consulting will have most of their graduate intake filled before the exams finished so it's well worth looking around as soon as possible.

    Yes, definitely. I waited and waited because I knew I could fall back on the job that put me through college and I ultimately regret it.

    I will have a look at those areas.
