Abstract	The transition from study to work is an important one. The jobs that graduates secure after completing their studies may very well shape the trajectory of their future careers, so an understanding of how job search influences employment outcomes has significant implications for theory and higher education practice. This article specifically examines the monetary outcomes associated with different job search methods in the context of the Australian graduate labour market, based on a rich panel data sample of bachelor degree graduates from the 2011 Beyond Graduation Survey. The use of panel data allows us to control for the effect of unobserved individual fixed effects, which might otherwise confound our wage estimates. Five broad types of job search method are investigated: advertisements, university-based methods, networking, direct employer contact, and other methods not specifically addressed in the survey. This article concludes by discussing the implications of the results and methodology for practice.
