[Free Report December, 2022] How Do They Expect Fresh Graduates To Have Work Experience?

How Do They Expect Fresh Graduates To Have Work Experience? I understand most of us here are students and recent graduates and this report might be useful to anyone of us as we are bout to get the real world professional experience. There are many ways that you can get work experience as a student. It will just require you to be strategic. You can get work experience through internships, volunteer experience, hustle, or even self-initiative as a student. Some organisations offer both paid and unpaid internships. Every country has those organisations. You must search for them and apply. Utilise your networks (online and offline). The truth is that most of these opportunities are never advertised. You, therefore, need to take the initiative to have access to these opportunities. As you apply for these opportunities, remember that your goal is to learn. If you have this principle at the back of your mind, you will learn. If your drive is to make a million bucks from these internships, you are in for a big surprise. You must be humble enough to know and accept the knowledge and skills gaps. You must also be humble enough to ask the right kind of questions to the right people in the organisation where you are working. Don’t waste time proving that you have the best wardrobe, car, phone etc. It is useless. Internships are not the only way to get experience; there are volunteer activities that you also can take. Every country has organisations looking for volunteers to help in many ways. As a student, such organisations are an opportunity for you to help and gain working experience. When looking for volunteer groups, don’t look for the big organisations only. Broaden your search, and find other organisations you thought never existed. Again, some voluntary organisations pay, and some don’t, and you need to be aware of that. The advantage of volunteering with a small organisation is that you gain more skills and feel your impact. However, sometimes, in a more prominent organisation, your contribution is like a drop in the ocean. Capitalise on the clubs and societies that the student community has at your college/university. It can be the students union or faith-based communities, or clubs. Joining and serving in student-led clubs allows you to learn many things that might be useful in the future. You will learn to work in teams, organise events, fundraising, public speaking, etc. These skills are essential for you. Finally, be a good student, and make an excellent impression on your university and lecturers. The university and your lecturers have projects that require people. The projects range from data collection and analysis to the drafting of papers. Most of the time, the university or lecturers provide these opportunities to students who have demonstrated excellence in their studies and good character. If you try to experiment with some of these ideas, you will find that, by the end of your four years, you have a cumulative work experience.
