As the graduation ceremony begins to die down and the year comes fast to an end, expectations are high. So much has gone into funding your education and as the saying goes, to whom much is given, much is expected. Now reality dawns on you, life after school is way different from what you imagined. There is a limit to where you can go now, who you can hang out with, its almost like you don’t measure up anymore.
Meanwhile you have made several attempts, but the jobs are not forthcoming as presumed. Having waited for months, in some cases years, eventually the long awaited job offer comes, and the first question is “how many years of work experience do you have?” the answer that comes to mind is NONE, even before the interview process begins, you are already eliminated.
Some fresh graduates who have little or no working experience may face a similar problem, but really how can you get experience when you don’t even have a job, whereas to get the job per say you need years of experience.
Fortunately, all hope is not lost, we have many large local and multinational companies, and -most of them prestigious – have their own campus recruitments targeting fresh graduates who have no working experience. After all said and done, one of the problems that fresh graduates face is how to attract employers’ attention and make themselves stand out.
Below are some suggestions for becoming a successful candidate.
Avoid mistakes in your CV. Candidates must try to avoid common mistakes in their CVs. The CV is often the first point of contact between you and the employer. Therefore, it is your first chance to sell yourself as a worthy candidate. Don’t make the employer work hard to find all your relevant experience and certainly don’t assume they will use their imagination to guess the transferable skills that you have developed.
Try making the CV a detailed summary, in the course of doing so, be careful about what to include in a CV. That is where many people make their biggest mistake – they assume that the employer will read the whole CV and find their unique attributes. Recruiter have hundreds of CVs to sift through, so he has very few minutes to spend on your CV, where Spelling mistakes, lack of clarity and unstructured CV is presented, it’s far easier to find reasons to eliminate such candidates than to grant them interviews. For those whose CVs are not well structured, ensure that you restructure your CV right away. Jobberman runs a CV Service. You can click this link for more information: www.jobberman.com/cv-service
Make non job-related experience count. Although fresh graduates have little or no job-related working experience, they are still likely to have much to offer employers. The secret is to think about the aptitudes required in the job and consider how well their campus and social experience might have prepared you. Try capitalizing on that; put it in a language that portrays professionalism. For example, coordinating your class projects, dealing with difficult tasks, are all skills acquired, that can be developed.
Try to make the best use of the knowledge gathered during your University days. During the interview, an interviewer always asks some job-related technical questions, and candidates need to answer these questions by using the knowledge they have learned during their studies. Impressive answers to the technical questions can be the key to successfully being offered the job.
Candidates must also be aware of the level of competition for job vacancies, there are hundreds of people applying for the same job you are applying for, so you cannot afford to leave any stone unturned.
These are just, but a few. If you have questions, you can ask them on our Facebook page:
