Fresher Jobs aren’t Difficult to Find

Fresher jobs aren’t difficult to find or get. It’s all about the way in which you pitch yourself. You are the product, and unless you effectively market yourself, no one will come to know about who you are professionally, the talent that you have, and what you can do. To begin searching for fresher jobs, start by making what is called a ‘Fat List’. A Fat List is nothing other than writing down all the professional and academic happenings in your life. If you can, outline them in a year-by-year format. For example: My Fat List 1991 – 2003rnKindergarten – Grade 12rnParticipated in School Volley ball teamrnTook singing classesrnLearned beginner guitarrnTook art classes 2003 – 2006rnDid BBArnCompleted a course in etiquette, manners, public appearance and public speakingrnCompleted a course in Debating and Public SpeakingrnWorked part time in event managementrnStarted a kids e-magazine called PoprnTook a course on sales and marketingrnWorked in Dad’s business as a writer and business developerrnRead books on online marketingrnDid charity events for underprivileged situationsrnTook teaching classesrnTaught kids to get my 240 hours of teaching experience needed for the certificaternLearned to use a sewing machine to make my own clothesrnLearned cooking and household inventory/ replenishingrnLearned smart buying 2006 – 2008rnDid MBArnCompleted a course from NIIT in basic computer applicationsrnHelped Dad manage the finances for the family and kept accountsrnPursued singing projectsrnSang on radiornMade a recordrnGot a job in BPOrnGot a job with a media company 2009rnJoined singing school to learn to read musicrnStarted a bandrnWrote songsrnDid interior designrnEvents to fundraise for poor kids Once you have made your own Fat List, proceed to make it into a resume. A Resume will work slightly different than a Fat List. You will need to segregate your academic achievements and your professional ones. Everything should be listed from the most recently done achievement, following on to the one previously done, and so on, till you reach to the first achievement you had done. For example: 2006 – 2008rnMBA 2003 – 2006rnBBA 1991 – 2003 rnKindergarten to Grade 12 You need to outline your professional achievements in the same way. The only difference is that from your Fat List, you must convert your write-up into a more professional and official language. Next, create a profile in an online job portal and post your completed resume there. Posting your resume online will give you the quickest route to finding jobs for freshers. As the internet has become the most common mode of hiring, recruitment and job-hunting, you will find the jobs you are looking for there. Once you get your fresher job, don’t forget to keep adding on to your Fat List and your newly made resume. You never know who might be reading it and what kind of job offer they will have for you, or when you yourself might need it to apply for a new job.
