However, knowing about the company, its location, its competitors and how everything works will make that transitional period that much easier. If there are common tools or technologies you will be using regularly, familiarise yourself with them in advance of your start day. Adding to this, Ms Lynch said organisations are “increasingly investing in upskilling their employees in-house”.
Putting yourself out there and getting to know people in other departments or other companies are all excellent ways to ensure you’re known.“It allows recent graduates to connect with industry professionals who can offer guidance and assist them in navigating the job market. Many graduates find it challenging to secure a job due to the high experience requirements often set by organisations,” she said.
“In other scenarios, it might involve picking the brain of recent graduate alumni who may be a year or two further on in their careers than you.” But if you want to ensure your career is following your desired path, how exactly should you go about it? Well according to Ms Lynch that all depends on what your career growth goals are, and these are “unique to each individual”.
“When planning your career path, it’s important to consider which opportunities best align with your personal and professional needs, as well as what your organisation offers. This should be a thoughtful and timely assessment rather than a constant one. Take the time to reflect on where you want to grow and what steps will help you achieve your goals.”
“If you reach a point where you are no longer learning or feeling challenged in your work, then it is probably time to consider other opportunities that will better support your professional growth,” she added. Whether it be through group projects, presentations, essay writing and researching, these have all enabled graduates to consequently pick up invaluable skills that are always utilised in the workplace.
