With many graduation ceremonies underway, the question is what next? Many new graduates will join already bursting unemployment queues. We will share tips on how to navigate one of life’s big challenges.
There is nothing more exasperating than to have the misfortune of reading a CV full of typos and grammatical errors!
Update your CV
and proof read it carefully; there are many online samples and tips. Send it to family, friends, colleagues, old school mates etc; they may know of opportunities.
Include your gifts, talents and skills. You may well be hired for your non-academic skills; those things that show your true essence, and make you stand out.
Be truthful about your credentials and abilities; Don’t pretend to be what you are not; even if you get in, it will soon become obvious, and you may not be confirmed.
Yes, you’ve already sent your CV to 82 companies and interviewed with 18; many won’t even acknowledge your CV; it's nothing personal; they receive thousands! Dust off disappointments quickly and stay focused on the next opportunity.
If you are down and dejected, it shows, and can make you unattractive to employers looking for upbeat, positive, people. The world is harsh; even if you feel awful inside, be well #prepared and enthusiastic.
