Graduates face many challenges when trying to enter the working world. In a highly competitive employment market, graduates need to make themselves stand out from the crowd. The Versa Group, who have experience working with many graduates and appreciate the fresh ambition and enthusiasm they bring, outline the 5 things graduates must remember.

You must motivate yourself.

The burden to motivate should not lie with anyone else, you should be self-motivated. One of the biggest hurdles employers face, particularly with younger employees, is figuring out how to motivate and inspire them. Graduates should be self-starters, they must identify what inspires them and use that to their advantage. Understanding what drives you will serve you well throughout your entire career.

Success does not happen overnight.

It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and passion to achieve success and graduates must realize it's not something that will happen overnight. A career is a marathon, not a sprint. Naturally people will compare their position and success to their peers, however they should not be the benchmark, everyone has their own road to travel. Don't let jealousy get in the way of reaching your own goals. Great achievements take time.

Do not hold back from putting your ideas out there.

Don't wait to be given permission to share your thoughts and ideas. Living in a digital age, use the tools at hand. Start publishing, tweeting, and sharing to make an impact and be heard. Let a company know what they could be doing and how you could help. Getting people's attention can help to accelerate your career.

Keep growing and networking

It's important to meet as many people as possible. This doesn't just apply during the job search. Networking is a vital skill that every person must master in order to boost their career. Be diligent about following up with contacts and touching base regularly.

It's okay to not have a dream job

Very few people are fortunate enough to go straight into their dream job. It's perfectly fine to know what your dream job is and work towards it. The point of a first job is to learn what you like to do and about your strengths. High expectations piles on unnecessary pressure and gets in the way of laying the foundation for your career. Appreciate what an entry-level position can offer; it's the first rung on the career ladder.
