Hello fresh grads! It’s finally time to be part of the workforce. We’ll lay it on you – it’s not that easy. There’s a couple of stuff to keep in mind when you hunt for your dream job. It all starts with a concrete plan on how to go about your job hunt.

Here are a couple of tips to give you a head start of landing that dream job.

 

Get your documents in order

Via Gov.ph

You’re finally in the real world and in search for your first job ever. It’s exciting and nerve-wracking, isn’t it? But before even starting the hunt, it’s best to prepare all the documents you’ll need to actually start working. Don’t know where to start? Go here!

 


 Ask people in the industry about the jobs you’re eyeing

Via 8List

Gather as much insight as you can about the industry you want to be part of. While the notion of walking in there and right away become a perfect fit is quite romantic, it’s rarely that smooth a transition. It would be wise to come prepared.

Prepare your answers for a job interview

Mind the time

Do not ever be late for your job interview. You’re not in college anymore where you have a 15 minute grace period and cuts.

 

Be ready for rejection

Via Giphy

Always keep in mind that ‘rejection’ is part of the job hunt. You’re not the only one eyeing that job. Keep on trying. No one ever wins by quitting
