1. In the academic year of 2009/2010 , 137 students were graduated by the School of Economics and Management of the Catholic University of Porto, shared by graduates in Economics (40) and Management (97)

2. The survey was released to all students that finished the Bachelors course,, there have been 109 responces recorded, what represents a coverage rate of about 80% of the population.

3. The survey has been made online, and subsequently has been made telephone contact with those who, in the first phase, haven’t respond the electronic survey. There have been 33 responses obtained online and 76 telephon responses. Tha remaining students did not have the valid contact number, ou there was no answer.

4. The time between the completion of the course and the beginning of professional activity has been measured in months, counting the period from the end of the academic year ( July 2010) and the montht the work has actually started. There is a possibility that some students have found the job earlyer than the date of actuall commencement of their duties. Assuming that the students had vacation during the monthAugust, the reported results are exaggerated , on average, in one month.
