Underline and correct ten mistakes about prepositions in the following passage. Write the corrections in the space given below.
Graduate Joblessness
Large numbers in young people who completed university and went out in search for a job last summer are still outside of work. A rise of the number of graduates this year, together with cuts on graduate training schemes, have resulted in record levels with graduate unemployment this year. What can you do to make sure that you're not into this position when you finish your studies? Career advisors recommend working towards nothing during the school holidays to get experience about the kind of work you want to do eventually. This tactic may even result from a permanent position once the firm sees what you are capable in doing.
