How to get a job?

Being graduated does not mean that you will get a job very next week or very next month. Nowadays, it is not easy to get hired, especially in Pakistan because of inflation.

If 70% is the rate of graduated students from any specific background, among them only 30% are getting jobs related to their field. That's something which should be a matter of concern. Unfortunately, the duration of the job hunting phase is being increased day by day and that is the reason many of the fresh graduates are either shifting their fields or are working with a low salary.

HIRE ME! these two words have no value nowadays. Freshers are ready to work anywhere, no matter whether that company is related to their field or not. "Holding a degree does not matter if you do not have experience", but the question is how can someone possibly expect the experience for a fresh graduate. This question will remain unanswered. You can not possibly change the recruiter's mind but at least you can be unique and enthusiastic to learn more things. Now how can you be unique and enthusiastic?

Always be motivated for your goals. Don't forget that learning is an ongoing part of life. Believe in these three words that are LEARN, LEAD and LEARN. Learn as much as you can, never stop learning. Find platforms who provides online courses, apply for grants, get involved in different campaigns. Always look out for next great gig:

These are some of the points which will help in job hunting phase:

Be active for job alerts: If you have applied for a job and assuming that you are the best fit for this job, never stop applying! even if you feel that you are the best fit for the job. According to research the almost triple percentage of candidates apply for a single job position, and who knows whether recruiter had a glance on your resume or not? so always be open to opportunities, keep exploring and be alert.

Enhance and polish your professional skills: Nowadays it's been easy to learn different skills even without paying. You can easily learn different software from youtube and google. I have seen many candidates who don't even know how to use Excel and then they expect to get hired on a good salary. Participate in different projects, will not only polish your skills but it will also give you exposure to the professional world.

Expose your abilities and achievements: "You should be visible" this does not mean that you should have your exitance on Linkedin, but what actually being visible means is that you should be actively showing your presence and what have you achieved. This will help recruiters to match your abilities with the requirement. So don't just appear on LinkedIn and then disappear rather, be visible!

Refresh your resume: There’s a reason why people have separate resumes for different types of jobs. No two jobs are alike, and your resumes shouldn’t be either.To find out how to properly tailor your resume to a job, review the job description to see what kinds of keywords are used and what values the company holds in high esteem, and then have your resume reflect that.

5 Steps to update your resume:

  • Make sure your resume heading is updated and correlates with your LinkedIn profile headline.
  • Give your resume an updated layout to look more contemporary.
  • Use keywords to describe your titles on your resume (and your profile) to improve keyword optimization.
  • List your most notable achievements for the year.
  • Include the new training you have completed.

Don't get demotivated or stressed, this is part of life. Learning will never go wasted. Believe in yourself and think as a stepping stone.
