Graduate careers opportunities and resources

March 27th 2008 08:54
Many university graduates who have no previous work experiences often face the 'real world' with horror. They are afraid of the uncertainty of their future and having to deal with real projects and commitments.

Universities are great these days, often providing soon to be graduated students information and advice on their career planning and job hunting. Great places to start are the career advice offices onsite at the campuses which are usually stocked with brochures and information packs on resume writing, job hunting skills as well as company profiles of major industries. The career advisors are often great with reviewing resumes and cover letters, and even assist you with finding out more about certain industries.

Another great thing to look out for are industry university recruitment days. Each university often set a day for all the interested companies and organisations to come and speak face to face with potential graduates as a first phase of their recruitment. These career days are great as graduates are able to find out about company information first hand, network with potential employers and start their job hunting even before graduation.

There are plenty of useful resources for graduates on the internet, dedicated to graduate recruitment and career opportunities.

The Graduate Homepage on Career One has profiles, interviews and articles on job searching skills that are useful for graduates looking to step into the big scary world. Graduate Careers Australia is a national university supported web portal linking graduates with university contacts, industry contacts, information on career days and professional resources.
