1. Be curious during the interview

During the interview, you need to show curiosity, that is, to show the employer that you are interested in this position. This behavior will help to convince the employer that you want to work for the company. Do not forget to say that you are ready for long-term cooperation and career growth. At the right time, try to ask more questions about your position and the activities of the company as a whole.

2. Use all the features

According to a 2014 survey by Career Builder, only 50% of college graduates find a job in their field of study. First you need to gain experience. If you can’t find a job right away, don’t give up. Join various professional organizations and groups. This is where you can get additional knowledge and even information about vacancies.

3. Experience does not always matter

Many college graduates are afraid to send their resumes to employers because they lack work experience. But this is not a reason to give up trying. The main thing is to show the employer that you have the skills to work effectively. If you are offered an internship, do not refuse. It is quite possible that after successful practice you will be offered a good position in the company.

4. Do not give up work for students

There are many organizations that help graduates find first jobs. Also, find organizations that provide work for students. Most likely, you will get a temporary job, but because of this, your resume will contain information about experiences in a particular area.
