WHAT ARE THE 7 THINGS?
1. Meeting The Need Does a student understand what it takes to meet the needs of their potential employer? Does a student know that companies only hire new employees if they feel this person can meet their current and future needs? This chapter takes a look at how companies view the hiring process and how students can make sure they are in the position to meet the need of their potential employer in order to get their first job.
2. Real Life Experiences Matters More Than Textbooks Employers repeatedly tell us by their hiring practices and their job postings that they want new employees to have some experience before they step foot into their company. Do you have practical, real life experience that is going to set you apart from the competition? Textbook knowledge is great but real life experience matters more. Have you participated in internships, co-ops, job shadowing, and projects? If not Justin gives you advice on what to do first!
3. Willingness to Relocate = Finding a Job Faster This simple but profound statement needs to be made clear to new graduates. Your hometown may be a great place to work but if you are willing to open up your horizons and consider companies outside of a 10-mile radius your opportunities are limitless! We live in a global world and now a global economy. If you aren’t willing to move for the company someone else will.
4. Innovative Employees Are Invaluable
Innovation is one of the hottest terms in the business world. It is also a term that is growing in popularity in the HR community. What are you doing to be innovative as a job candidate? Are you trying to set yourself apart from the competition? Are you working on projects that will look innovative to your potential employers? Innovative employees are usually always employed.
5. Integrity and Character STILL Matter in Business
We live in a world of scandals and dishonesty. As a new graduate the last thing you want to do is start your career out on the wrong foot by having a reputation of being unethical. Justin explores how important it is to conduct yourself in an ethical manner in all areas of your life, especially your career.
6. Those Who Aren’t Afraid to Change Will Never Be Unemployed
The Department of Labor says the average college graduate will have up to 10 different careers before they retire. Over the next five years of your life you will experience unbelievable amounts of change; new job, possibly marriage, possibly children, buying a home, etc… Are you ready?Change is inevitable, but can you handle it?
7. Find Your Passion Not Your Job!
Someone who is living their passion doesn’t mind getting up in the morning to go to work. If you aren’t working yet, some day soon you will be. The question then remains will you be doing what you love or what you are forced to do? Those who are living their passion are the most productive and happiest people on the planet. Which category do you fall into?
