How To Get The Confidence That Graduate Job Search

What can you apply for? Who can you turn to? And what can you really contribute? Career Adviser Mette Manus tells how to proceed to apply for a job as a graduate.

When you have just graduated and have not much to show for it on your resume, it is important that you can sell yourself. Bring out what you've done next to studies, such as offices and volunteering. Show that you have the capacity to more than studying, says Mette Manus, career counselor in Manus Motivation Group.

She stresses that it is important that you think carefully about why the company should hire you.

Think through why they should choose exactly you. Why are you unique? Bring out that you are motivated, and that you are willing to learn. There is no one who can do everything. That you can not, you can learn. It is allowed to say that you fancy the job, says Manus.

Think about what you can contribute:


One of the hardest to apply for a job as a newly qualified, is that you do not quite know what to search for. What can you really? What level are you on? Mette Manus says you must be able to defend that you are applying for the job.

Search for jobs that are relevant. You must be able to defend that you seek. What can you contribute? Be aware of your strengths and weaknesses. Also the weaknesses can be turned into something positive, in that you show that you are reflective and teachable, says Manus.

She also reminds you not only have to think of education as professional competence.

Also remember that education is primarily a gateway to further education. The education shows that you are able to learn. You do not necessarily have to fill all the criteria in the announcement, but make it clear that you are willing to learn.

Do not come crawling to interview:


As a new graduate, it is important to be humble, but it is easy to be over cautious. Therefore, be sure to be better prepared than any other and that no one can doubt your motivation.

Sit well into the enterprise, and be well prepared. This applies both when to call before applying, before writing your application, and before going to the job interview.

Manus points out that positive thinking and meeting the potential employer with lots of positive energy.

When seeking a job, it is win-win for both parties. It's not just you who is looking for a job, now is also dependent on finding one that fit the job. It is allowed to be nervous at the interview, it is even allowed to say that you are there. It is important that you work mentally with yourself, so you are positive when you get to the interview. But do not be boastful, says Manus, and continues:

Many come crawling to interview, and are pleased that they share ever getting the interview. Think positive, meet up with lots of energy, and focus on what you are good at and what you have achieved previously. Think of situations where you have succeeded. Why you succeeded? What did you do exactly that context?

Ultimately, however, stand and fall on motivation:


Be responsive and humble, with try to radiate strength. See properly out and be cheerful. And show them that you are motivated. It is very important. They stand between two equally qualified, they select the most motivated.

Mette Writer 'TIPS':


  • Create a career plan where you formulate what is important for you in your job.
  • Check out the opportunity for internship or trainee. Here you can try your hand at many different jobs and you get good follow-up. You do not need to have education in law, economics or being educated engineer to be relevant to such program.
  • Be willing to move.
  • Think about whether you want to work in a large or small business. In a large business you will often have more targeted jobs and more opportunities for development, while you will get several different tasks and perhaps greater responsibility in a smaller company.
  • Find out what you want to use it you have taken to you of knowledge throughout their education. Are there any special things you really want to work with?
  • Remember that your job will be a win win situation for both the employer and you.
  • Do you have an education? Do not settle for standing in the checkout at the supermarket.
