Getting a job with just a certificate and no experience can be tough. It is possible but requires you to be extraordinary and determined. Some doors will be slammed in your face but keep your eyes on the price because your breakthrough is not far off. Here are 7 tips on how to secure a job with little to no experience:
1. Network
Networking gains you access to numerous opportunities. Your network has the potential to gain you insight into different information on what potential employers look for and advice on how you can improve professionally. Also, your network could get you into interviews of posts that are not even published. Your network might even be your employer.
2. Volunteer
Your volunteer experience shows that you can get along with others, make a commitment, and that you have the attitudes and skills employers are looking for. It also gives you an opportunity to grow your network, practise and develop skills necessary for employment.
3. Work on your LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn will help you find a job quicker because most companies are already using it for potential employees. A well put together LinkedIn profile will give you credibility and will establish you as trustworthy.
4. Don’t wait till graduation to get a job
Working while studying builds your experience and gives you references. This is what employers are looking for and having the two might increase your employability after graduation.
5. Just apply
Some companies do consider applications that might not meet all the requirements. Try your luck, keep applying.
6. Be realistic
Do not expect to get a job a few hours after graduation. Give yourself some time, keep pushing and stay motivated. Something will come up.
