When you’ve recently graduated, flush with your new diploma, and hopeful of the future, being brought back to earth by the sobering experience of looking for a job can be tricky. Here are a few simple steps which you may find helpful:
- Just because you have a diploma doesn’t mean that your qualified for a good job, you may need to do a lot of preparation so that you’re prepared to work.
- Speak to your recruitment agency and your local job centre. These organisations are there to help you find work, and they will be very helpful in identifying areas of improvement, things which could help you with writing your CV, covering letter, and in an actual interview.
- Learn new skills! While a diploma qualifies you for different professions, having a level of aptitude with things like excel, maybe even website programming, could demonstrate to your potential employer greater value than those your competing with for the position.
