Employment Search Job Hunting Made Easy
Employment Search Job Hunting Made Easy:
Employment happens easily for job seekers who have experience in their career of choice. Some job advertisements even specify that experience is required or at least that it can be an asset. Could this mean that fresh graduates have no chance to find employment? Of course not that would be absurd. You can only gain experience by actually working somewhere so there must be some job opportunities open for you.
When I entered the job market, I took an entry level position to gain some experience. The pay was not what I expected but this entry level position prepared me for a better paying position at a different company. I say this because sometimes people will not take employment where the pay is not up to par. That's why I had to learn the hard way; that part time school and work makes a good combination instead of full time school and no work.
In fact, there are good chances that you might find employment even before you graduate. Many companies are willing to hire students in their last year of college, for a number of reasons. First of all, they don’t have to pay as much as they would for an employee with a bachelor’s degree.
Second, if you like working there, you might want to keep the job after you graduate; by that time, you will already have gotten used to the company’s standards and procedures, so they won’t have to spend time training you.
Third, these job trainings are usually for a limited period of time, so the risks concerning the student’s performance are smaller. The advantages on your side are also obvious. Not only is it nice that you can make some money, but you can build the experience, which will later prove so valuable. Moreover, it is often easier to become part of the staff as a trainee, given the above mentioned advantages for the company. If you make a good impression, they will be happy to keep you after you graduate, which will save you the trouble of looking for a job later.
You should start thinking about such trainings as early as one year before you graduate. At the same time, you can start sending your resumé to other companies as well. By the time of the graduation, you will already have a work history, which will make you a more attractive potential employee.
