6 Career Planning Tips for Freshers

The thought of making a career straight out of college can be a daunting one. You are equipped with very little knowledge about the practical world; you just have a degree or may be even not that. You are awaiting your result, though you are positive about having done it quite well. Whatever the case is, you have some apprehensions and a lot of questions. In short, there is always someone who needs a career advice; someone who needs to know what he has to do, where he has to go so that he could achieve maximum success in minimum time.

1.You want to do SOMETHING:- You are a fresher, you are a novice but you have an idea, a dream. That’s the most important thing for you to know first. If you know that you got to do SOMETHING to earn a living in order to live with dignity, the half of the battle is won.



2.What interests you? :-you too must think about the thing that interests you most. May be it is science, may be painting or it might be music. Whatever it is, try you pursue your interest and making a career out of it.

3.Grab the first offer:- Often when you are fresh out of college, people would try taking you for a ride. They would offer no pay or very less pay even if you are hired. Companies call these positions internship or training. It is always good to go for such jobs if you don’t get a reasonably well-paid job in the first go.

4.Make every job count for you:- After your first job, do not be scared to go for a change as every job comes with its package of learning kit. It teaches you new skills and gradually you also get to understand where you actually want to go. You discover your strengths and make yourself more prepared to reach the position you want to.

5.Working is more important than dreaming:- You may not have the career of your choice, not because you did not try hard but may be because you excelled in some other field and that other field awarded you very handsomely. And you stick to that field and grow further. Don’t be disappointed and see the positive side, the money, the recognition, all matter.

6.Have a back up plan:- Always have a back up plan for rough times. Rough times are times when you have to change your job, do a course in between or start or your own biz. These are the periods of transitions when you have to fall back on something, some job you get anytime and every time. It might be a receptionist’s job or a tutor’s job, some job that you can always take up to sail through the rough time.
