1 Assess your interests and strengths

One of the first steps to career readiness is to identify your interests, strengths, and values. This will help you narrow down your career options and align them with your personal and professional aspirations. You can use various tools and methods to assess your interests and strengths, such as self-reflection, online quizzes, career counseling, feedback from mentors, or personality tests. By knowing yourself better, you can also showcase your unique qualities and contributions to potential employers.

2 Explore your career options

Another important step to career readiness is to explore your career options and learn about the requirements, expectations, and opportunities in different fields. You can do this by conducting online research, attending career fairs, networking with professionals, joining industry associations, or taking courses or workshops. By exploring your career options, you can gain a realistic and comprehensive understanding of the labor market and the skills and competencies that are in demand.

3 Develop your skills and portfolio

Once you have a clear idea of your career goals and options, you need to develop your skills and portfolio to demonstrate your value and potential to employers. You can do this by engaging in various learning and development activities, such as completing academic programs, earning certifications, taking online courses, volunteering, interning, or working on projects. You should also create a portfolio that showcases your work samples, achievements, and feedback. Your portfolio can be in the form of a resume, a website, a blog, a video, or a social media profile.

One thing I've found helpful is improving one's soft skills. The term is still green to many; it means the personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people. Once you become well-versed in soft skills, delivering a message becomes easy and that helps a ton for any one to showcase his/her talent.

4 Build your network and brand

Another effective career readiness strategy is to build your network and brand. Your network is the group of people who can support you, advise you, refer you, or hire you for your career. Your brand is the image and reputation that you create and communicate to your network and the wider audience. You can build your network and brand by attending events, joining online communities, reaching out to mentors, requesting informational interviews, or participating in discussions. You should also update and optimize your online presence, such as your LinkedIn profile, your email signature, or your personal website.

5 Prepare for the job search and interview

The final step to career readiness is to prepare for the job search and interview process. You need to have a clear and effective strategy to find and apply for the jobs that match your skills, interests, and goals. You should also be ready to impress the employers with your resume, cover letter, portfolio, and interview skills. You can prepare for the job search and interview by researching the employers, tailoring your application materials, practicing your elevator pitch, anticipating common questions, and following up after the interview.

To get hired, you can follow many ways. One smart way would be, take your time to read the whole job description, cater the cover letter and resume in the direction of the given job description, obviously the true honest achievements. Change the language on your documents and make it understandable to the talent team, which means find the terms that attract the specific job place. These things will make your application stand out.
