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.
