With your education about to finish, you could be puzzled and wondering "What job should I have?" Finding out which jobs to apply for after university may be as difficult as giving the exams. But no matter how confusing it may seem, there are simple measures you can take to filter down the most suitable entry-level employment complimenting your skills and experience.
It is important not to panic! True that the graduate employment situation may be tough right now. But you shouldn't feel obligated to grab the first job that crosses your path. Read on to learn what to consider when choosing a profession and how to align your education with your career.
Identify companies with whom you would like to associate.
Some of these firms may be recommended by your academic advisor, or you may learn about them during university employment fairs. In addition, Indeed company sites provide reviews, videos, and information about current job vacancies. To receive email notifications when new positions are posted, you may opt to "follow" them on Graduatewise.com that notifies its candidates for every new job posting.
Become familiar with the company's operations by visiting their online profiles. Browse a company's website to discover more about their beliefs, products and work environment. Make sure you pay close attention to the terminology they use and any photographs or videos they have of their employees on their website. Alternatively, you may look for current news stories about the firm to stay on top of the newest changes.
Connect with your Contacts to know more about the shortlisted companies.
Ask your friends and family if they know anyone who works at the firms on your list. You should be prepared to ask detailed questions throughout these talks. You could ask the below questions:
• How can students or new grads get employment at this firm?
• Have you always worked for this company?
• If I want to learn more about what positions are offered here and if I'm a suitable fit, how should I proceed?
• What do you enjoy most about working at this company? In what ways does it not work? - assess employee experience
• Is there a chance to progress in the company? - assess company stability
• What kind of connection do you have with your boss or manager? - assess work culture
• Can you tell me about your recommendation procedure for a position I've viewed online? You may recommend me if it helps you.
Create a Graduatewise.com account for free.
By creating a free account, you can begin your search without any worries. It allows you to save jobs that you might like to apply for in the future. To make it easier to apply, these positions will display on your profile page. From the same tab, you'll be able to monitor your application's progress. All the prospects that attract your attention may be tracked in one place.
Make sure you're receiving job alerts
The second step is to set up job notifications while you search. New jobs that match your search criteria are sent to you through email every few days. When it comes to finding a job in today's competitive market, timing is important, and job notifications are a simple method to see new job ads as soon as they are posted.
Create as many job notifications as you like, and they'll be delivered to you daily or weekly. This allows you to choose how often you'd want to receive email updates and pause or delete notifications.
Find out about the latest pay trends.
Using this tool, you may view the pay trends for certain jobs. It's easy to discover more about a certain job by entering its title. Before any job titles you're interested in, consider adding the words "entry-level" or "junior." Individual cities or the entire country are available.
