The best advice is from people who have been there and done that, so what better guidance to get than from people who have gone through the new graduate phase? For those fresh out of uni, read on for some great career advice from those who have walked in your shoes.
Time Is Ticking, Make Up Your Mind
Does this sound like you: " . . . I wish someone had told me to pick a career and pursue it, instead of 'there's plenty of time to decide'. Now I'm 32 and haven't figured it out yet . .! stop wasting precious time, start from somewhere.
Consider the Small Jobs
The small jobs are a great chance to learn some important work lessons and avoid embarrassing yourself at your eventual 'real' job!" It’s easier to change jobs now than it will be in five or ten years.
Use Recruiting agencies
It's basically getting people to help you with your job search, for free. Do not listen to anybody who wants you to pay to get you a job, unless you are negotiating percentage. Be wise! Besides you don't have the money anyways.
Learn a Skill on the Job
Take on a job or an internship that will teach you something useful. The key is to acquire skills that will be applicable, even if the pay is bad. By doing the entry-level jobs, you’re building skills necessary to move up. As you progress in your career, find things in each job to be passionate about.
Pick a Job That Interests You
Go for jobs that are really interesting to you, and preferably will get you doing something you're passionate about, not just that will pay your bills (though that is very important). Chances are, if you're passionate at it, you'll be good at it, and you'll rise up quickly in the company." If eventually you dont like the job you landed, do it like its the best job(make it your passion) because you never know who is watching.
Time is Money; treat your time as an investment.
It’s more important to invest your time wisely than to invest your money wisely.
Avoid inflating Your lifestyle
It doesn’t have to be fancy. Whatever you choose to do, make it a goal to set aside 20% for saving and investing. This sounds like a lot, but if you can start the habit young, it’ll be easier. As your income increases, it’s tempting to increase your spending in proportion. The more you can resist this urge, the more successful you will be with money and will yield greater returns in the long run.
here you have it, see you when you start making the money. caio!
