Abstract: Summary In this paper, we discuss aspects of a behavioural model of new graduates on the labour market. The model regards the search for, possible refusal, and acceptance of a job by graduates of the University of Padua. Some jobs are considered a makeshift with respect to expectations the graduates matured along with degree achievement. We will analyse data collected by the University of Padua through a long-lasting perspective survey on its own graduates. We compare, in particular, the behaviour of graduates who worked before graduation with that of graduates who did not.
