Searching for a new job is not an easy task for job seekers. But it'll be a lot harder for new graduates especially that they don't have any experience in the field yet. Hence, it's crucial that they must focus and exert more effort than that by other candidates. According to GradPlus, "There is an average of 70 graduates applying for each graduate job according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) so make sure that your application stands out for the right reasons."

For these new graduates to get hired, they must create an even more effective strategy when marketing themselves. They also have to make sure to jump-start their search with some helpful advice and tips to be able to stand out among other experienced candidates. Some of these are:

Upload CV online

Uploading one's CV online in a trustworthy job search site can improve the chance of being chosen to be a candidate of an available slot and get hired the soonest. Signing up, creating a profile and uploading one's CV and resume and other documents needed for job search might take a while. But the effort is sure worth it. Just don't forget to fill in every detail completely as it is an important tool for employers to gather data in choosing their candidate.

Do research

Once been given the chance to be scheduled for an interview, don't panic. Remember, people who have a habit to panic tend to commit more mistakes. Instead, focus. As stated in SaveTheStudent, take time to conduct a research about the company first. Learn enough about them that one could answer questions calmly, professionally, and perfectly when already seated in the job interview hot seat.

Be prepared to rejection and competition

Job opportunities are not as plentiful as they were in the past so as one would take his or her first step in job searching, he or she must take the path with an open mind. An aspirant must never force oneself too much. By doing so, acceptance and moving on will be easier once rejected in the process instead of getting devoured by stress and depression. So always remember, if it's not destined then it will not happen. If one did not get the job, there are still other opportunities. Don't feel too negative about it. As posted in The Guardians, "We all learn from our experiences, and interviewing is no different." 

If the aspirant really loves the job, he has to be persistent. Keep these ideas and advice in mind and do everything a successful job hunter has to do.
