What To Do At School To Get Employed On Graduation. by Surebuttons: 7:36pm On Jul 05, 2020
Hoping to boost your employability while still at school? There are so many things you can be doing right now to improve your employability. Try these tips and you might just land that dream job!

With so many students and graduates on the job hunt at this very moment (yep, even as you read this), you need to do whatever you can to wow future employers.

Thinking ahead and laying the groundwork for your career while you're still studying is a pretty solid way to go about it.

There are a lot of fairly straightforward things you can do while at school that will catch employers' eyes later in the game – and, luckily for you, we've put all of the main ones together so you can get cracking.

1. Join school societies and events
This offers you the opportunity to network with people of higher authority and helps you to display your skills

2. Build reputations.
Reputations is one of the best selling points in job hunting. Making it snappy will not only help you in jobs market but your entire life. As a student how have you helped the society? This question comes often in interviews. You can build your reputations by simply helping your fellow students with anything you are capable of in an accountable manner. The only platform that helps you do this and keep records is https://passbuttons.com there you can answer questions or post questions and build your reputations. By implication, reputations measures your ability to solve problems. Most hiring companies in Nigeria use this medium to check how useful a potential employee can be in a company. Whether the employee is good or not. It also helps to determine how much ready you are to change the world with the little you have while studying.

3. Get a part-time job that fits around your degree
Okay, so we recognise the irony in suggesting you improve your chances of getting a job by getting a job? But part-time jobs give you a great experience in the working world, and they'll look impressive to future employers as you're showing that you know how to balance work and study simultaneously.

4. Use the careers advice service at school
You may not be intending to enter the world of work for another few years, but that's not to say you can't start prepping now for what you need to do to snag the best job.

Every school has a careers service, and they'll be more than happy to chat with you for half an hour about how to achieve your long-term goals. Make use of the service while you still can! If you don't have in your school, you can join https://passbuttons.com to get started. The good thing here is that you can ask any type of questions and your privacy is assured.

5. Research your chosen career
Quite simply – if you know where you want to be, then find out what's expected of you in order to get there and start working towards your goal.

6. Work hard on your studies
Last but not least, it's easy to get totally sidetracked by all of your amazing extracurricular activities, but try not to lose sight of why you're there in the first place. There's no point putting in all this work to improve your CV, only to flunk uni!

Employers will look for a good standard of degree as a benchmark for recruiting candidates, so make sure you put as much time into your studies as you can and do your best.
