Jobs for new graduates with no experience

When you are about to graduate, it's time to start your job search. Even if there are still things to complete in your last term, it’s a good idea to start the search for your first job.

If you have had a student job alongside your studies, be sure to get a letter of recommendation that highlights your personality, work ethic and the competencies you have demonstrated. Your grades may be exemplary but most employers today will place more emphasis on any work history, your personality and your approach to being in the workplace.

It is important to get along with your colleagues at work, engage and communicate effectively with everyone, at all levels across the business. Displaying emotional intelligence, which helps you to overcome issues and resolve conflict will serve you well in the work place and is a trait sought after by employers.

It can be more highly valued than top grades.

Newly graduated & unemployment benefits

It can sometimes be difficult to find your first job as a recent graduate, but you may be eligible to receive unemployment benefits from the first day after your studies. However, you must be a member of a trade union to be entitled to unemployment benefits, so sign up while you are a student, or, if the union offers it, within 14 days after you have completed your education.

But the unemployment benefit period does not last forever, so try not only to go after the dream job right from the start.
