Basics Problems For Fresh Graduates

Here’s the scenario… you’ve graduated college with a good looking degree, and you feel on top of the world and ready to pick and choose your dream job The reality, however, is that you’re one of a many in the same boat.

Although you feel like you would be best suited for a particular role, there can be hundreds of other people who feel the same way as you. Recruiters or hiring managers will often post jobs on various online job boards and receive in excess of 200-300 resume applications.

Being a recent graduate in any field I have noted the available market seem not to accommodate fresh graduates- I don't know if it only happens in Third World Country like am in or its the Whole world.

First and for most all the available job vacancies Requires experience of from 3+ number of year and requires one to have some kind of alien knowledge that we can rarely acquire from classes. And talk of Graduate Trainee programs, no many corporate can accommodate many graduates.

Another Issue in the few companies that will accommodate graduates offers less payment package with promises of review after confirmation which is never the case even after proving to be well conversant and acquired vast company knowledge.

What next after all this frustrations and challenges? Do we continue to be oppressed while we keep quiet and remain loyal to be the company? Do we just assume nothing is happening? In the end graduates opt to change jobs, resign or finding other options.

Another problem is that, many graduates complete their university studies and expect to hand pick the job they want. Furthermore, graduates have an expectation they know what is best and should actually be the boss rather than working for the boss. Too many times, new graduates will apply for job positions which are so unrealistic and then get despondent because they are not getting interview requests. It’s important for graduates to realise that they need to gain the experience before they can call themselves the boss.

Last but not the least, the debate between further education and job seeking, do you continue to study or start straight away with the job seeking? Many graduates don’t have a choice in this matter but for those who do continuing to study can lead to greater results long term (financial and job position) and also further help distinguish yourself apart from other graduates. On the other hand is it better to start working and get your foot in the door? There’s no better education then real life experience of learning on the job.

About Cvs And Resumes

Some of the point that should be mention and not to be mentioned in the CVs and Resumes.

Keep in mind following steps listed below:-

1. First of all, go and make a proper email id if you dont have one. gangster@yahoo.com, hunter@Gmail.com, assains@hotmail.com, Ahmed123@yahoo.com , These kind of email ids shows your non seriousness.
Your Email id should consist of your first name and last name. for e.g. firstname.lastname@gmail.com or Ahmed.Khan@gmail.com.

2. Please proofread your Document. Make sure it doesn't have any spelling or grammatical errors and mistakes.

3. Please remove that References heading which says 'References will be furnished on requests'. It is a wastage of space on your document.

4. Please don't include you Personal information like CNIC(Computerized National Identity Card) number.

5. If you have added 'Objective', in your document, make sure it is not copied from google.The recruiters are very smart.

6. Most importantly save your document in 'PDF' Format and should be named as 'FirstName LastName.pdf' for e.g. 'Ahmed Khan.pdf'. Most of the CV i find are saved with the name Resume or CV. As a result file is overwritten when other file with same name is downloaded & it difficult for recruiter to find your CV.

7. Use Regular Fonts in your document like Arial or Times new Roman. Don't use fancy fonts like Comic Sans etc Try to keep your document precised. A 1 page CV is the best document. Although, upto 2 pages is OK too.

8. You are going to be hired on the basis of your skills, not on the basis of how you look. If you want to add photograph, make sure its formal. Please don't add any skill that is not relevant to the job you are applying for. And don't add any skill in which you are not good at all.

9. The CV/Resume should be different for every other job that you are applying. Make sure you read the job description. Try to add the requirements on your document which are mentioned on the job advertisement.

10. Do write a cover letter in the Email while sending the CV. The Cover letter should be written in the email. Don't attach the document of the cover letter in the email. And the Subject of the email should be proper.

11. Please don't appear in the interviews unprepared! It gives a bad impression of not only yours but the institution too. Make sure you are well prepared and serious for the interview. Try to be at your best. If you want time, you can ask on email humbly from the HR to give you another date and time for the interview if its possible for them. Don't miss any interview without letting them know! the time is precious. Save the time of others and yours too.

SUCCESS IS YOURS!!!
