I have something to say thats driving me batty. Its regarding graduates who fuss about not getting a job they like or not getting a job at all for that matter. Blah blah di blahStudents nowadays start their research projects by looking up information on the web. And they are very right to do so, as there are libraries of useful .....
Let me ask you something. Imagine a small town like ours with a limited number of companies, looking for limited vacancies to fill. There are thousands of graduates leaving universities each year hunting for a job too. How the heck would a pissed-off HR director filter out from that titanic pool a few lucky folks, including YOU?
Of course, any sane HR director would only choose the BEST and most qualified of the lot, true? Yes. True. Otherwise, hed be DOOMED to lose his job if he hired a slacker.
Anyhow, back to the issue of unemployment. If youre a student or have graduated, its never too late to remedy the problem. How? Internships!
An internship is basically a training program designed for students to help them polish their skills and give them a taste of the real-world, without too much pressure. Internships have the following advantages:

Sounds exciting! And yes, when employers study your CV, believe me, they will be impressed by your initiative. Its the attitude youre exuding to them that makes you valuable. So, its never too late to start carving your path from now.
Now if youre interested, I suggest you sit down, and put a list of all the companies that you would like to work for (preferably related to your major). Then, ask the Career Services Manager at your university to contact one of the companies to organize an internship program for you. Similarly, you could contact the HR director and request an internship with the company for a couple of months.
And believe me, when you graduate, it will all come back to you! You will stand out amid the crowd. What goes around comes around. Good luck!
