Plan your future
1. Expectations & Research Having a degree does not guarantee a good starting
salary; it gets you an interview.
Expect to be compensated according to market value and your current level of experience / knowledge.
Research is crucial: Learn which companies are known to hire people straight
out of school. Look for advancement opportunities. Find out the typical salaries of the jobs you are applying for.
You can collect this information on LinkedIn and major job boards.
Plan your future
2. Networking It’s not always about what you know,
but who you know.
Landing a job is a numbers game. Apply as much as possible. Attend networking events. Take any interview you can get.
Be willing to start with a paid or unpaid internship.
Plan your future
3. Interview Preparation Connect with entry-level people on LinkedIn
to find out more about the company values.
Research the industry, the company, its competitors, and the interviewer.
Connect your core strengths to the job you are applying for.
Take notes and ask intelligent questions during the interview. CURIOSITY!
Communicate clearly what your strengths are, by using concrete examples.
You’ve landed an interview!!!
Plan your future
Finding a job as a new graduate is in itself a full-time job. The more you invest in the process, the more likely
you are to land that game-changing opportunity.
