Do you feel helpless as you are about to graduate?
Under the influence of the epidemic in the past year or two, the unemployment rate has risen, making it difficult for workers to find good jobs, let alone college students who have just graduated and have no experience to speak of. The University Grants Committee's graduate employment data for 2019-2020 shows that 70.3% graduates are working full-time, while the unemployment rate is 2.38%. I believe that many people have experienced the process of looking for jobs when they are about to graduate, and they all understand the hesitation and helplessness of being afraid of not being able to find a job.
Are you afraid of being laid off?
Do you feel stressed?
In fact, the pressure mainly comes from myself and the people around me. When I see my classmates and friends around me starting to receive offers one by one, but I am still working hard to find a job, I will naturally feel bad about myself when I make comparisons. I have doubts and feel pressured, wondering whether I will get an offer all the way. At the same time, the homeowners have the opportunity to come and care about you/say something about you. I believe many of my friends have heard such sentences as "I don't know how to find a job," "I don't know what to do," etc. , which will cause stress over time.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself
Do you have any tips on how to improve your hit rate?
1. Maintain a continuous learning mentality
As the saying goes, you will live until you are old. Even if you have graduated from college, you must maintain the mentality of continuing to learn new knowledge. By continuing to learn and equip yourself, you can learn more different skills. These learned skills will help you improve your competitiveness, and at the same time, you can let the interviewer know during the interview that you have not wasted this time. Therefore, when you don't find a job, everyone might as well explore your interests and learn some knowledge and skills that interest you.
If you haven’t found a job yet, why not find some things to learn?
2. Don’t be surprised during the interview and be confident
When you first enter the society, it is inevitable to see tensions in the labor union, but you should never let your department supervisor or HR be surprised when they see you. When you let the other person see that you are timid, first of all, you have lost your momentum and the first impression you have given is not good, and you will be more likely to make mistakes and disrupt your own plans. On the contrary, showing a confident side will more easily attract the attention of the interviewer, so please remember to let the interviewer see that you are confident during the interview.
Don't let the other person see you timid
3. Be fully prepared before the interview
As mentioned above, don't let the interviewer see you as timid. If you are really nervous and timid all the time, how can you stop being so timid now? Just be sure to be fully prepared. In fact, there are many people in the market who make videos to teach people what skills or what to pay attention to when interviewing. You might as well take a look before the interview and prepare well. When you are fully prepared, you will feel less intimidated when entering the interview room.
Being fully prepared can improve your confidence in communication
Summarize
Being afraid actually means that you have certain demands on yourself, but at the same time, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself or belittle yourself because of it. Remember to stay positive and confident, and just work hard to be yourself.
