During this time, it may seem a little challenging and overwhelming on how to find a graduate level job in your industry, so I’ve put together some tips for you on how to get that graduate job!

Networking

This is the perfect opportunity to put yourself out there and let employers know who you are and why you would be valuable to their company! Big or small, it’s important to make a good first impression. Even if that company isn’t hiring now, they may remember you for an opportunity that comes up, or even make a position just for you!

Linkedin- This website gives you the opportunity to connect with employers and recruiters at the click of a button! Make sure that your profile is short, to the point and eye catching! Don’t be afraid to let yourself shine on there.

Don’t be afraid of getting in touch with people either! Introduce yourself to current employees or even employers and make sure you ask valuable questions.

Linked in also shows you current roles that it thinks relates to the information you have put on your profile, so make sure you include key words when writing it.

Social media

Believe it or not, social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and upcoming TikTok can sometimes be the places where jobs are advertised! Clothing companies are especially known for doing this so make sure you are keeping a close eye on what they’re up to one there! It may even be worth messaging a company on social media to see if they have any upcoming vacancies.
