The thematic analysis result explored five themes such as internal factors, external factors, interpersonal factors, institutional factors and socio-demographic factors that can be considered critical for graduates' career choice decision. Details of the subthemes are also identified.

The study result can be useful for conducting future research using quantitative data on graduate job choice.
