How to get your dream job following graduation!

Where do you begin?

With creating a CV and cover letter
With analysing myself as a candidate. What are my weaknesses? What are my strengths? What skills do I have?
With market analysis, of course. I'll look at companies currently searching for employees, find out how much a candidate at my level can earn and what skills are most in-demand.

What are you going to write in your CV?

I will write about the projects I have been involved in throughout my studies, the average marks in my diplomas, and the subjects I particularly enjoyed.
I will write about the projects I have been involved in throughout my studies. focusing on my internships and apprenticeships.
I will write about all the projects I organised during my studies. I will mention all the internships and work placements I had and, of course, provide all the relevant information about my work achievements. The latter will simultaneously show all the responsibilities I’ve had.

How are you going to structure your cover letter?

First I will introduce myself, then explain why I consider myself the best candidate for the job and finally explain that I dream of working for this company. Of course, I’m not going to customise my cover letter for every job vacancy. I’m sending out hundreds of CVs, so what are you talking about?
I will introduce myself and write that I really want to work for this company. If I know what the company does, I will explain why I’m so interested in working for it.
I will briefly explain who I am, what I can do for the company and why I want to work there. I’ll have to write different cover letters for different jobs, but a good job is worth the effort.

Will you create a portfolio?

No, for my area of speciality, it is not necessary
No, I have nothing to add there
Yes, I don't have many projects to be proud of, but I definitely need a portfolio

You are entering the job market. What is your strategy?

I will visit every job recruitment website, upload my CV, and start sending it out to all employers whose job vacancies are somewhat suitable for me
I will research job offers using different job websites – recruitment agencies, including messengers and then send my CV to the appropriate companies
I will look at any job offers on recruitment websites, Telegram channels, or other career resources. I will look for any current job offers at my university. I will post a job search ad on my Facebook page. Possibly, all my future employers could be waiting for me there.

An employer has written to you. They ask you to complete a test assignment. What are you going to do?

I will refuse. They are scammers!
I agree. Why not? I don't have much experience yet.
First, I will clarify how long it will take me to complete the assignment and ask all the relevant questions. Only then (if the task can be completed in 1-2 hours) I will start doing the task.

You have completed the test assignment successfully and are offered an interview. How are you going to prepare?

I am already prepared, but I will practice answering employer’s potential questions just in case.
I will research the industry, examine what the company does, think about the questions I can ask during the interview, and practice answering their potential questions.
I will research the company, find the profiles of my potential managers on LinkedIn, consider what questions I should ask my potential boss, practice answering any possible questions, and then repeat my presentation aloud

At the interview, you will also be asked to introduce yourself. How would you begin your self-presentation?

I would tell them about myself, my whole work experience, and the university I’ve graduated from
I’d talk about the positions I have held and my interests in the vacancy.
I would talk about my relevant work experience

The employer is asking you about the size of the salary you expect to receive. What will be your answer?

I will give a precise figure. What’s the point in talking about salary brackets? I can tell how much I am worth right away!
I will ask for a salary just below the market equivalent. I'm a beginner!
I will ask for a salary corresponding to the market rate, then I will negotiate. If they offer less, I would expect some other benefits (for example, health insurance).

You are about to be hired! What do you need to discuss before accepting the job offer?

Nothing - I've already spoken about everything at the job interview!
I need to discuss all the things I did not ask at the job interview, from my salary to my responsibilities. Only then will I sign the job offer.
The salary, bonuses, perks, KPIs, exact duties and tasks. The offer is not legally binding; therefore, I can discuss anything with the HR manager before signing the contract.
