The 5 big challenges for first-time job-hunters

Probably the biggest hurdle in a career is starting it. Knowing one’s abilities and what one wants are important first steps. FMTNews FMTLifestyle

The degree in one’s pocket is not the end of the road, it’s the beginning of building a rewarding career.

Examine your likes and dislikes, hobbies and passions. Once you’ve taken inventory of these, it’s easier to determine what your first job should be. Bear in mind that the cover letter, CV or résumé must create a great first impression. Employers generally send out an interview call only if the cover letter, the résumé or CV are attractive enough.Read the job advertisement carefully. Some employers call for a CV while others ask for a résumé. There is a vast difference between a CV and a résumé so they should be prepared separately, according to internationally acceptable styles.

This includes educational qualifications, hobbies, passions and extracurricular activities. Obviously, you do not have previous work experience but mention any internships or traineeships you’ve done.This is one of the toughest challenges of looking for that first job – selection. As a fresher in any field, or someone with general educational qualifications and no specialisation, it can be a difficult choice.

Then do some online research to find out the prospects of that career. This is very important because some jobs do not offer many opportunities for career growth.Applying for the first job can be tough because you do not have any experience that matters, nor skills that can make any difference to an employer.

Highlight some personality traits such as being a team player, problem solver, willing to travel and other aspects which would qualify you for the job. This can help overcome the biggest challenge of lack of experience.
