How To Find A Job If You Have Just Left College? So have you finally left college and you are wondering how to get job? If yes then you have come to the light place to get advice. You might think it’s going to be easy to find a job but when you will finally step into the field to look for a job, it won’t be that easy. You will have to go through lots of troubles in order to actually find the right one. We hear this from our teachers that great opportunities await you after you have graduated but when you actually go to find a job, the salaryis always a lot less than what you had been expecting.Even if you get a real job, it is going to suck in terms of salary for a few years because of your lack of experience. Build your personality If you wish to find a job, you will have to first groom yourself up. You need to make your own personality. You need to show that you take interest and you are the kind of person who can bring difference. In a room full of people, you need to be the one who stands out of the crowd. That’s going to make you different from the bunch of people and that’s what the recruiters are going to be considering. Build a LinkedIn profile You need to do some effort from your side too. You can start by building a LinkedInprofile. It is recommended that you should start focusing on building your socialprofile even when you are in high school or college. Mention all the extra circular activities you are involved into and write a summary of your career and interest. You can also include the part time jobs you do like babysitting, working at summer camp etc. Milk up your internships Many of the grads or even undergrads have done lots of internships during their education. Although these internships don’t pay you much but they can provide you experience. And this experience is going to be your key to search for a good job where you can actually earn well. Even if after you have left college, if you are not able to find a good job, it’s best to you start with an internship. After the internship, you might even get a chance to find a permanent job in the company. Take a professional approach No matter what type of meeting or interview you are about to give, don’t ever take it for granted. You may never know who will refer you a job. So even if it’s a minor interview or meeting, make sure you show your professionalism. Who knows this brings you something good. Your attire, your way of speaking everything is going to be accountable. Use some old school tricks If you have applied to some jobs, keep the follow ups. You must not neglect the importance of saying thanking you. Your written thank you notes and follow ups can play an important role. This gesture can speak for your ethics and professionalism.
