Looking for the career that will suit you can be a challenge. First of all, you have to establish what it is you really want to do. Even this can be a difficult step as proven by the many graduates who leave university still at a loss as to what they want their future to hold.
The current financial climate doesn’t make things any easier, of course, so it’s worth taking the time to get as much work experience in as many fields as possible. This may seem counter-intuitive since most internships don’t offer substantial salaries (if any compensation at all), but employers are much more likely to take notice of your CV if it’s genuinely filled with interesting or relevant prior experience.
Once you know the career path you wish to take, a sensible option would be to sign up with one of the many recruitment agencies out there. They generally have very good connections across a number of industries, so will be able to submit your CV for vacancies in positions that you’ve instructed them to look for.
Recruitment isn’t a sure-fire way to secure a job, but it certainly does increase the number of options available to you. Remember that finding a job can be just as much a matter of luck as anything else, so it’s vital that you leave yourself open to as many potential ins as possible.
