Every new graduate coming out of college should focus on the career building, thereafter. This is a process, which involves great efforts and hard work and it starts with applying for graduate jobs.

Here is how one can do it systematically.

CV Building

Start with your name and address in clear, bold format. Add your qualifications, right from the school education, in a systematic manner. While doing this all, fresh job seekers should highlight any special training received in college, even for non-circular activities or towards military training.

Mention your experience in a separate paragraph or format. This should include any formal or informal training received after finishing the college. This can form the first part of experience for all fresh graduates.

Post Your CV

There are several websites, which cater to the aspirations of new job seekers. Some of these sites also assist in making your resume in a professional way. Taking their help always helps. Although there can be many sites offering jobs globally, it is better to visit and join those sites that provide local jobs for the candidates in their area.

Some employees have a procedure of eliminating the candidates in the initial round, by calling them for a test. The short listed candidates are then asked to attend the interview. This test is, most of the times, simple to know your aptitude and strengths, which you must have highlighted in your resume.

However, be serious to take this test, because no seriousness shown at any stage can prove harmful to you and your prospects. Prepare yourself for this test well in advance as the notice for it is sent a week or two before the test is scheduled. All fresh graduates need to be confident all along.

Attend The Interview With Confidence

Once you are through the test, next big step is the interview itself. Be sure that you are your best on the interview day, both physically and mentally. All job seekers must remember to face the interviewer with self-confidence. This results in the exercise half done, successfully.

Follow Up With Agency or Website to Know Your Status

We wish, fresh graduate job seekers, all the best to start their career by following the tips given above, systematically. However, there are many steps to be taken for meeting the final goal of all fresh graduate job seekers. We will discuss about these in coming articles.
