Kids nowadays don’t want to sit around till they land a job. They want to go ahead and find something that suits them. If you are one of the students who are about to graduate, you know the pressure. Hunting for jobs for 18 year olds isn’t easy. The market isn’t what it used to be.
Experts pointed out that earlier, companies used to come to Colleges, in search of enthusiastic women and men and offer them jobs. Campuses would provide placements to their students. However, those days are long gone. Job hunting isn’t easy, and here are a few tips to help you through the job search.
One must create reliable social media profiles. It means being on Facebook, and Instagram is just the start. You must create a profile on social media sites like LinkedIn. It is a professional site, where you can make business connections.
Cleaning the social media profiles is also necessary before you apply for a job. Facebook and Instagram can’t have party pictures from college days. It will ruin the image one sends off to their prospective employer. So, one must clean up their social media profiles.
If someone wants to land the right job, then they must find a mentor. A mentor is someone you admire, and who can guide you through the job-hunting process. They can give a graduate the proper idea about their potential, and which job matches their ability.
Job hunting may seem like a hard task, but if done with dedication and discipline, it can be fruitful. Teenagers face more problems with job hunting now than their parents. However, social media can help them find what they are looking for. The previous generation didn’t have that advantage.
