Five tips for finding work after graduation
1. Adapt your CV and cover letter
Tailor your application to each employer, emphasising relevant skills from internships, voluntary work or academic projects.
2. Build your professional network
Networking should start before you graduate. Use LinkedIn to reach industry professionals and join relevant groups. Many jobs go to people with a network.
3. Apply widely and actively
Don't limit yourself to roles you match 100%. Employers often invest in training recent graduates.
4. Prepare thoroughly for interviews
Research the company, understand its culture and show enthusiasm.
5. Say yes to entry-level opportunities
Your first position may not be the ideal role. Every experience builds valuable skills. Starting with an internship or a junior role opens up routes to move on.
