Cards on the table, there are days when Graduate Fog feels pretty friendless. Being so fiercely independent can be a heavy cross to bear.
Because we tell it like it is, some universities and employers don’t like us. We can live with that – but a nice, cheery email from our grateful users every now and then makes the loneliness at least 50% more bearable.
Your messages will also help to convince potential sponsors to give us the cash we need to keep this website going (at present, Tanya isn’t being paid a bean for her efforts!). So, if the mood takes you, do get in touch via the contact form below to tell us what you love about Graduate Fog and how the site has helped you.
Likewise, if there’s anything you don’t like about the site – or you think we could improve – we’d love to hear from you too. Don’t worry about upsetting us – the tears will dry.
Thank you!
IMPORTANT: We’d love to offer one-on-one career advice to individuals but if we did that we wouldn’t have time to run the site – sorry! However, if you spot a glaring hole in our editorial (have we missed something massive?) then send us an email and we’ll try and plug the gap as swiftly as possible.
*Are you a journalist trying to reach Tanya? This is the best way, honest! Your message will drop straight into her email inbox, which she checks obsessively every day. She doesn’t do live TV or radio appearances (for fear of getting carried away and being done for slander!) but if you would like a written quote or to discuss an appearance on a non-live TV report, please do get in touch. Please also note that Tanya is not running a free advice line for journalists researching the unpaid internships issue. If you are at the very early stages of your research, please don’t expect Tanya to walk you through the whole thing from scratch, unless you’re prepared to pay her for it. Instead, please read this article in the Guardian first and then email her if you have more specific questions.
*Are you after a quote for a dissertation, academic project or personal blog?
As much as Tanya would love to contribute to all sorts of interesting projects that Graduate Foggers are involved with, because she is still (pretty much) unpaid for all the time she spends on this website, she can’t provide bespoke quotes for things like this as she’d never get anything else done. If you’d like to borrow a quote from anywhere on the site – or any of the work she’s written for the Guardian or elsewhere – feel free to do so. Just make sure she is quoted in context. Thank you!

@Peter, whilst it doesn’t make it better. That’s offered to Romanian locals, not for a Brit to go and volunteer abroad. (Well, unless you speak Romanian!)
Hi Tanya,
My name is Flora and I am contacting you on behalf of Adzuna (one of the UK’s fastest growing job sites – over 200,000 visitors month). Through our comprehensive list of 500,000+ available jobs we have compared vacancies with number of claimants in each city from the latest ONS data.
I would like to send through a release highlighting the locations and sectors where half a million jobs can be found – and the best and worst cities to find a job in the UK. The analysis is based on the unemployment data that came out last week and Adzuna’s comprehensive search index of all job vacancies in the UK (all roles listed on the top 200+ job websites).
Hope this is of interest to you. Please call me on 07921670478 if you have any questions. We can supply additional data on request for your area. If you find this information helpful, we would hugely appreciate a link on your website http://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs.
We have over 4,000 Graduate jobs [http://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/graduate-jobs], tips for job hunters on the blog general job seeking advice and interesting/fun stories from around the web.
