Tips on Getting a Job After Graduation
By:Paul Selibio

Because searching for your dream job after you have graduated can be overwhelming, here are guidelines on where to look:

WHERE

(1) Research.¬ After graduation, take the time to investigate industry trends and all companies in your field of interest -- read company profiles, journals and magazines, newsletters, etc.

(2) Volunteer opportunities. Volunteering after graduation is an excellent way to enhance your image as well as your resume for your job interview in the near future, as employers will be interested in what you are into aside from searching for a job. Volunteering after graduation is also a brilliant way to gain potential contacts as well as develop significant skills which will be useful in your job later on.

(3) Job Boards. You can look up on these after graduation as they make available listings of positions in a variety of organizations, locations and occupations.

HOW

(1) Know what it is you really want. Although it is nice if you will tell an employer that you are willing to learn or do anything, most employers will interpret this as being desperate. Therefore, after your graduation, make sure you identify what you really want and focus on this.

(2) Your Experience. After graduation, experience such as one you have through internship, volunteering, co-ops or part time jobs is very important – this will prove that you have an experience in the field you have chosen.

(3) Be familiar with your special field. After graduation, you really need to study and know everything there is to know in that chosen field of yours as potential employers might ask you about it also study the company through visiting their websites, reading industry journals, attending their seminars and conferences, etc.

(4) Prepare a strong but factual resume. Market yourself by making an effective resume after graduation - style it according to the particular job or position you are pursuing; make certain that it looks just as good as when it is being read. There are plenty of websites that offer help, so check them out.

(5) Make certain you are able to support the claims made in your resume. Note that employers during interviews have already encountered all types of candidates including those who have lied or exaggerated their accomplishments and experiences. That is why employers are sometimes doubtful and that is why you need to support your claims effectively with detailed examples.
