AFTER UNI WHAT'S NEXT??? "Leaving university with no real career plans?"

Leaving university with no real career plans? 
If you’re one of those students who focused on finishing your finals, rather than planning your future, our top ten tips should give you some ideas of how to start.

Let’s be clear about one thing: “You mustn't put too much pressure on yourself about the first move you make after you graduate,” says Carl Gilleard, chief executive of the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR). “A career isn't necessarily about the first thing you do. That’s an important step, but it is just that – only a step, in the fast-moving, ever changing world of work.”  There are really good opportunities for graduates out there although there are common misconceptions that graduates are easy to recruit, but actually they’re really hard to reach – especially for SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises].

These tips are useful for either 1st class grade or The Pass grade.

Build Your CV:
This is one very important thing most graduate often miss out. It is essential that you build your CV as you journey through school. Always update your CV. If you need help; talk to experts (me). Your CV is your Unique Selling Point so HYPE YOURSELF but don't LIE

Get updated with relevant I.T skills; 
If your IT skills aren’t as good as they should be, get learning! Learn new stuffs. Youtube for example is one very useful tool, or online classes for example, you can enroll on a short course. There’s a range of things you can do to improve your CV and gain insights into new areas of work. Use your time to good effect


Volunteer as an Intern at relevant companies; work experience is far more important than before...” Always find ways to boost your skills and stand out, and be prepared to re-locate if you have to.  Closing dates for graduate schemes are earlier in the past; a company might have taken on a graduate and waited five years before they were productive. Today, employers need people to be productive quicker

Browse job sites:
Not necessarily with the view of finding a job you can apply for (although obviously this could be an added bonus) let Google be your friend, but more to give you a sense of the possibilities out there.  Look at sites such as www.jobbeerman.com etc. You’ll see the sectors with the most vacancies, familiarize yourself with job application jargon, and help identify any common skills that you can develop to improve your employment prospects.

Be open to new ideas, Try something completely different. Crazy is the new cool.

Use social media: Social media is a fantastic tool for finding work. In fact we find a good deal of our staff through announcements on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. I also think these are great places to promote yourself and your skills – word about you looking for work will spread quickly and people might recommend you.

Finally;  
Network right: I think the main aim of networking is to start a conversation that you can continue at a later date. Definitely exchange contact details and then, just as you would do after an interview, drop that contact a line to say why you enjoyed meeting them and/or what interested you most about your conversation. You don't need so many tricks when you're being yourself.
