The biggest mistake graduates make isn’t dodgy spelling on your CV – it’s only using one or two job-hunting strategies when you should be using all of them. What else could you be doing?
If you’ve applied to dozens of advertised vacancies and signed up with countless recruitment agencies, well done. But there’s much more you should be doing as well. Different methods work for different industries. Try them all and chart how successful each is for you. Then do more of what’s working – and have the courage to ditch any strategies aren’t getting results. Remember, your time and energy are limited resources, so make sure you’re using them wisely.
Fear not – Graduate Fog knows that the last thing you need it yet another yawnsome list of ‘helpful’ suggestions about all the many lovely methods you could be using to find work. (We figure if you wanted that, you’d have downloaded the government’s dire 24-page PDF ‘Life after Graduation’ Zzzzz…). Instead, we given an honest critique of how useful we think each method actually is – and shown you clever little ways to make them work for you.
