Hi I am an engineering graduate passout of 2018 batch I still didn't find any job related to my education later I got married and a kid now my resume is not even considered as I have 0 experience is there any chances for me to get a job ?

Ans: Hi Kanchan,

You definitely have opportunities. However it will be harder compared to the other engineers with your experience. One reason you might be finding it difficult, is because the skilled labour industry is evolving rapidly. Many things you would have learned in 2018 might not be in use today. Not to add that the college curriculum has been outdated for years.

You can solve for this by identifying the field in which you wish to work. Going through upskilling programs in the desired field. Many such programs also come with job assistance and help you get your career started.

I am a BA graduate, unemployed since 2022. After completing my education, I applied to several jobs but no one wanted to hire a fresher. What can I do to get a job? Please suggest some tips
Ans: It's definitely understandable to feel discouraged after facing challenges in securing a job after graduation. However, there are some steps you can take to improve your chances:

1. Reassess your job search:

• Target the right jobs: Are you applying for roles aligned with your BA degree and interests? Research suitable entry-level positions in your field or consider broader titles like "assistant" or "associate" related to your skills.
• Refine your resume and cover letter: Tailor them to each specific job, highlighting relevant skills and experiences, even if they're not directly work-related (volunteer work, projects, etc.). Quantify your achievements whenever possible.
• Expand your job search: Utilize online job boards, company websites, professional networks (LinkedIn), and recruitment agencies. Attend job fairs and networking events to connect with potential employers directly.

2. Enhance your skills and experience:

• Consider short-term courses or certifications: Gain relevant skills through online or offline courses in areas like digital marketing, data analysis, communication, or project management. These can enhance your resume and make you more competitive.
• Volunteer or freelance: Gain practical experience through volunteer work or freelance projects related to your desired field. This shows initiative and demonstrates relevant skills to potential employers.
• Develop soft skills: Build communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management skills through workshops, online resources, or even taking on leadership roles in volunteer work.

3. Network and seek guidance:

• Connect with professionals in your field: Attend industry events, join online communities, and reach out to people working in your desired roles. Informational interviews can provide valuable insights and potential leads.
• Seek career counseling: Talk to a career counselor or advisor at your university or community center. They can help you identify your strengths, explore career options, and refine your job search strategy.

Additional tips:

• Stay positive and motivated: Job searching can be frustrating, but don't give up. Stay focused on your goals and celebrate small wins.
• Practice your interview skills: Research common interview questions and practice your responses beforehand. Be confident, articulate your skills clearly, and express your enthusiasm for the role.
• Keep learning and developing: Continuous learning demonstrates your commitment to growth and adaptability. Consider pursuing further education or professional development opportunities in the future.

Remember, finding a job can take time and effort. By tailoring your approach, developing your skills, and using various resources, you can improve your chances of securing a role that aligns with your goals and qualifications. Good luck!
