1. Lack Of Professional Connections
For a fresh graduate, it is not often easier to find
valuable contacts to recommend a job or get
recommended.
This is absolutely okay if you have just pa$$ed out
of university and searching for employment. But, if
it is your tenth attempt for a job and you still have
no connections, then you are not taking this issue
seriously. A valuable connection not only guides
you in right direction but also helps you step into a
job easily. Employers are followers of technology.
They are in a constant search for a common
connection that can fit in a vacant position in his
organisation.
Use social sites, such as LinkedIn, to capture
attention of industry-specific professionals in order
to gain professional mileage. When you are socially
visible on these online spheres, you magnify your
visibility. Ultimately, you are in reach of a
prospective employer who shares common
interests with you.
2. Lack Of Talent Identification
Majority of fresh graduates blindly follow a field
without first realising their own potential. Having a
degree in ‘marketing’ does not necessarily mean
that you cannot pursue a career in film direction.
You can definitely do it if you have the pa$$ion in
visual art and really think you can make a name in
this field.
If you are excellent in something, it is meaningless
to question its relevancy with your degree. Talent is
not measured by degrees and certificates. It is an
unquantifiable thing that is beyond parameters of
worldly norms. Just take initiative and follow your
dream. It is never too late to find your pa$$ion. It is
just a matter of time and place.
3. Lack Of Experience
Fresh graduates often do not have any practical
experience of work. The lack of experience
interrupts their job application and causes a
significant delay in their employment.
If you have just pa$$ed your graduation and does
have any previous experience, it is natural for an
employer to not give you priority for a job.
However, there are other more important things in
your career portfolio that you can make up with
your inexperience. As a starter, you can show your
previous on-job training programs or internships
that you have completed in your trade. You can
even demonstrate your specific life experiences
that make you perfect candidate for a job, if this is
the case.
4. Graduates Are Too Choosy About Their Jobs
Nowadays, graduates are too choosy about the job
they pick. They expect the best salary figure, ideal
location, flexible working hours and lenient work
environment. When graduates demand so much
perks and benefits, they end up losing an
opportunity that could benefit them in the long run.
Ultimately, they deprive themselves of the larger
benefits that they could have availed in terms of
professional exposure and career profile.
When you land a job interview, consider it as an
opportunity to streamline your career success. Do
not think about that mundane ‘zeros’ in salary or
the trivial benefits. At this stage of your career, you
should focus more on skills and professional
experience that you can gain from an opportunity.
Look into the professional values that an
organisation has to offer you rather than salary
package that will not do any good at this stage.”
