Over 50 per cent of students said that rather than worrying about wages when applying for jobs, they were likely to either turn down jobs at organisations that banned social media or find a way around the policy.

Being in touch with friends constantly, even during working hours, is valued so highly by those that will be or have recently graduated that 75 per cent said they would ask about social media polices during an interview.

The survey found that 40 per cent of graduates in the workplace said companies persuaded them to take jobs by offering friendly social media polices.

Over 30 per cent of graduates actually said their knowledge of social media gave them a competitive edge when applying for jobs.

The survey questioned nearly 3000 students and graduates about what they expect in an employer.

Employees expect, more so than ever before, flexibility and the right to work from home.

Of the students and graduates questioned 25 per cent said that working from home would actually increase productivity.
