How to Secure a Job After Graduation

 

For thousands of young people, graduating with a degree is a huge milestone in their lives that brings the prospect of a long, fulfilling career doing something they love. However, with so many people looking to find a job after graduating, it can be difficult to secure one. After years of hard work, the last thing you want is to find yourself without a job! Luckily, there are several steps that you can take that will help you overcome this and secure that first job after graduating.

Create a Resume

The first thing you need to do is create a resume. A resume or a CV is a written document that will showcase your skills, experience, and qualifications, and a bit about yourself, for example, what you like to do in your free time. You will send this off to employers to look through, so they can conclude whether you have what they are looking for.

Make sure to get the right length; too long, and the employer might lose interest, but too short and they might think you don't have enough experience or couldn't be bothered to create one properly. You will also need to ensure that you have got the right tone of voice and that it is grammatically correct. If you are unsure of how to go about writing your resume, there take the time to check out CV examples and use them as templates to get you started.

Provide a Cover Letter

Alongside a resume, it is a good idea to provide a cover letter in your application too that explains to the employer why you think the job role is suited to you and why you want it. This is your opportunity to expand a little bit more on your experience and qualifications, which will show the employer what you would bring to the team.
