In the present scheme of things, it is never going to be easy landing a job after completing your degree. Unlike the olden days of your parents, you will rarely come across an employer paying visits to various colleges in search of good candidates.
What do I need to do to land a good job befitting my qualification?
You will surely agree that the job market is really slow now and will continue to be so for some more time. Nevertheless, you do not have to presume that even the deserving ones will not land a decent offer in a good company.
Do I wait for my turn or should I be a go-getter?
If you keep waiting, you will continue to wait and no recruiter will come looking for you. You must learn to think out of the box and do something eye-popping – offline or online – to catch the attention of your potential employers.
Do you mean to say I must first aim to market myself?
Exactly, and that is what you must do from the day one. Make your presence felt all over the internet and use the right platforms to showcase your talent and skill sets. Internet provides abundant opportunities in this regard. Advertise your skills in a subtle way without being boastful.
Use your originality and creativity to woo your prospective future employers. Try to be different from the rest, but, be truthful, always. Employers will be curious to try you out. They will want to see if you are as good as your promises!
