What Employers are looking for in Graduates




Seeking for a job?
Millions of young inexperienced job seekers waiting their chance!
Here are some ways that you can help stand out in the crowd of young job seekers.

Be Ready
Recruiters will often look at work-readiness and motivation. They will try and understand what candidates are motivated by, what their actual preferences are and what they have high natural talent for.

Be a Leader
Students who take executive roles in groups at uni and elsewhere, who coach or play a team sport may have an edge.

Be Diverse
Recruiters are looking much further now then just academic results or qualifications. They also want well rounded individuals that have done part-time or volunteer work, have travelled or coach and play sport.

Experience
Working anywhere is defiantly better than not having any work experience at all. Even with the best academic marks and achievements employers will be reluctant to hire someone that has zero previous experience.

Creativity
Can you demonstrate creativity and innovation in your field that separates you from the pack?

Teamwork
Employees want to see how you work in a team environment. Students who can show that they work effectively in groups, share responsibilities and accept and deliver constructive feedback and criticism are highly valued.
