Why Hire Fresh Graduates

It might not be the foremost intuitive decision to hire a fresh graduate, but employers should know that it can reap long term benefits.   While many companies have made the choice of postponing hiring decisions during this stage of uncertainty, for fresh grads with no real job experience, this can be distressing news.   As competition heats up for entry-level jobs worldwide, many recruiters are avoiding the applications of fresh grads to hire more experienced candidates. An experienced applicant needs less training and may handle complex tasks. In addition, the freshly graduated who does not have the experience may be a big challenge for a business.   However, below are top reasons why companies should hire fresh graduates:  

Saves money:

Most fresh graduates don’t expect a high salary in their first job, but that doesn’t mean you should offer them low wages or below the market rate. Your business will benefit from this as you choose talented candidates at an entry-level rate.  

They are tech-savvy:

Since technology plays an important role within the workplace, hiring the digital natives, would be the most efficient way to integrate technology into the workplace. While a lot of your employees might be experienced in a certain job, they could not necessarily be computer literate. In comparison, the new generation have grown up in the digital age and are more likely to stay up with the most recent technology trends and the newest features and functionalities, therefore they are more effective and productive with computer tasks.  

They bring in new perspectives:

Your company needs to introduce fresh minds to its team to keep up with current trends and to stay innovative. Even if they are not fully involved in the business world. Fresh grads bring a new perspective or ideas for your business. Keep in mind, that they have recently done projects, attended events and experienced internships. They can provide solutions to your problems in a new and creative way.   They are good self-learners: In an increasingly competitive world where more people are graduating, young people often equip themselves with an unlimited range of technical skills, from Photoshop and video editing to social media and coding, to help them stand out. The accessibility of the information and the resources available on the internet, makes them great learners and excellent employees.   Having these employees will help your company to compete not only locally but also globally. You only should choose the right candidates who are eager to find jobs, you have to provide them the proper training and new challenges to assist them learn and grow with the organization.

Say bye to old ways

Searching for a job has become more challenging, and modern recruiters have plenty of applications to choose from, making it difficult for you to stand out from the crowd.

While the labor market changes rapidly, job-hunting practices are no longer relevant in a couple years . So If you are looking for a job, here is some advice that is no longer applicable:

Your resume should be only one page.

While your resume is a valuable document to tell your employers about your experiences and background, you do not have to worry if it is more than one page, as long as you have created space and respected margins and used the correct font without leaving blank spaces and gaps between paragraphs.

Big companies are better.

Researches show that employees always try to apply for big companies because they offer job security, professional development, and name recognition. But many times, small companies, you get the chance to work with senior management, and employees are more likely to be valued. Both have benefits, but you should choose what is best for you based on thr stage of your career.

Do not consider jobs with lower titles.

Taking a job with a lower title could offend your future career, but job titles are inconsistent with the actual position. Depending on the organizations size, sometimes an employee with a specific job title might have responsibilities that allow them a much higher postion. To avoid being limited with opportunities, do not use a specific term or keyword when searching for a job, and do not judge a position by its title, evaluate it if you fit by reading its job description.

No need for professional references.

One of the overrated bits of advice we usually hear is that you don't need to have a list of professional references. The reality is that some employers want to talk to previous employers, so if you don't make this option available to companies, you could miss out on potential job opportunities.

Rejection with Manners: The Consequence of Ignoring

In today's competitive job market, it is essential to make a good impression on potential employers and recruiters. One of the biggest mistakes that job seekers make is not showing up to scheduled interviews or rejecting approaches and calls from recruiters. While it may seem like a small matter, these actions can have a significant impact on one's job prospects and reputation.
