RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES: How To Find Your Way in the Job Market

Today’s job market is a dog-eat-dog world; or a ‘dogs-are-eating-all-our-jobs’ world. If you are a college graduate and looking for a job, you know what I mean. Any job vacancy you eye these days sees hundreds of applications falling in, out of which maybe 2 or 3 get selected.

What if you are not one of those 3?
Don’t give up yet, meanwhile consider the advice below.

1. Broaden That Career Path, Keeping Your Goal in Mind

Many have an iron-clad career objective in mind – which is good, but can also be bad. They have that one position, that one company they so badly want to work at, that they refuse to use other opportunities or chances. Trying your hand at jobs that may not exactly fit your profile helps you gather valuable skills and experience that may prove useful in the long run.

2. Polish Those Resumes and Cover Letters & Make Them Hit the Bull’s-eye

It is important that you keep your resume up-to-date and relevant to the position you are applying for. Be specific and highlight accomplishments that will help you get noticed. Limit the length to a page or two, not more.
Though the practice is not very common here as it is outside, make sure to include a cover letter. Tell them how unique you are and show that you are well aware of the company’s activities. Definitely limit the page to one.

3. Find a Career Guru

Find someone who has long term experience in the field you are involved with. This person will be able to provide relevant advice, guide the steps you take for your career and give you valuable contacts from his/her network. There are many ready to lend a helping hand these days.

4. Be Positive and Keep Going

You have attended tens of interviews and sent out even more applications for jobs. There have been so many rejections, you have lost count. You are distraught, hopeless and ready to give up…STOP RIGHT THERE!
You must be optimistic. It is very essential that you keep a positive outlook and keep trying. There are many who have been unsuccessful at dozens of interviews, but finally landed the best jobs they could imagine.

Placement Orientation Program!!!!!

IPSR conducted a placement oriented training program exclusively for Cisco and Microsoft certified candidates on 17^th May 2010. Candidates from various parts of Kerala attended theplacement orientation program at IPSR Kottayam Center. The program started with a session on Technical Training at 10.30am.

Mr. Anish, Senior Technical Consultant of IPSR Solutions headed the technical session programs and gave students an all around idea about how to deal with the real time issues in managing networks. The session deeply covered the nooks and corners of networking and server administration. The afternoon session was on soft-Skill training, conducted by Mr. Krishnaraj, PRO of IPSR Solutions. The session covered areas including resume preparation, interview tips, developing positive attitude and et al. The program was specially focused on the problems that both the freshers and professionals often face in the interviews.

All the candidates were very much impressive and enthusiastic in all the secessions. They expressed their sincere thanks to IPSR and were greatly satisfied with the program. Akil K P, CISNeTS Technologies, Kannur said “the program was very effective. Both Technical and Soft-Skill training sessions were really useful and helped me to learn a lot about success tips. Mr. Aneesh & Mr. Krishna Raj gave additional and breaking inputs to our thoughts. If the program were conducted in Kochi, it would have been a big help for many professionals like me.”

After the two sessions, a screening test was conducted for reputed a company based in Technopark, Trivandrum. 11 candidates were sort listed for the second round interview. IPSR wishes the Best!!
