How students can supercharge their employment prospects

May 29, 2018

 

As countless studies have shown over recent times, the employment market has become competitive to say the least. Once upon a time all that was required was a university degree, now the situation has turned on its head and students need to bring something else to the table if they are going to make a big impression when their CV lands on a prospective employer’s table.

Kevin Rolle Alabama has said that in a way, students have just had to become more creative in their hunt for that elusive job. This is exactly what this article is going to look at and if you are midway through university life, here are some tips to ensure that you are regarded as highly as possible when the time comes to apply for those first jobs.

Make sure stay on trend

This is something that so many students are guilty of and in some ways, it can be the fault of the universities. Sure, you might be provided with all of the technical knowledge you might need for a future role, but when it comes to being “streetwise” you need to take a more proactive approach.

University syllabuses are planned a long time in advance and while professors might deviate their material from time-to-time, in terms of the latest changes to your respective industry you need to be the one doing the research.

This means subscribing to industry publications, blogs and everything else that can show that you mean business when it comes to those first interviews. If you can talk about new technologies, it will be a sure-fire sign to whoever is interviewing you that you are a proactive person who is enthusiastic about the industry that you are looking to enter.

The power of the placement

As we alluded to at the start of this article, good grades are now not enough to net you that dream job. Sure, they can help emphatically, but don’t think that you can rely on this alone.

Instead, you need experience. Nowadays, this tends to come in the form of placements. Some people will turn to a summer placement, while others might take a year-long placement which effectively extends your course duration. Suffice to say, the latter can be exceptionally beneficial, for the simple reason that a lot of students end up working for the company who hired them in this period.

Take a proactive approach

We’ve mentioned the P-word several times today, but we can’t reiterate enough how important it is to be proactive when it comes to looking for your first job. If you leave it until the last minute, you will be bundled with all of the other late graduates who are competing for the same jobs.

If you give yourself plenty of time, you can be a little choosier about the first position. This is something that is really important and means that you don’t end up job-hopping in those first few years of employment.
