Question to recent graduates/about to graduates.

The only thing I am worried about is getting a job and being thrown in the deep end and them assuming I know what to do.

That will NEVER happen. Employers will always put you through a training/adjustment period because everyone knows that school is not the same as a workplace. Especially considering that every work place is unique and they will all expect different things of you. They just want you to be able to do what they ask you to do, with the presumption that you know at least basic knowledge of the field.

Unfortunately, actual employers don't want to take extra time training new employees and they know that someone fresh out of school won't know what the hell they're doing which is why it's hard for graduates to get a job. You NEED to do an internship as that is considered the main training period.
