Common Mistakes Made by Community College Grads
As a soon-to-be Leeward Community College graduate (either this semester or
otherwise), there are some things that you should do, as well as some that you
shouldn’t do when it comes to job hunting.
This excerpt was taken from an article titled “Tips For Finding A Job After Community
College.” Here’s a closer look at some of the most common mistakes that college
graduates make.
Common Mistakes Made by Community College Grads
Every year the job market gets a little bit tougher to navigate. To make your post-
graduate job search a little bit easier, make sure to avoid these common mistakes
that many community college graduates make:
- Relying only on the internet – While many companies have switched over
to online job advertisements, you can still find jobs using the newspaper,
through networking connections, or by contacting a recruiting agency.
- Being too passive – Even if your community college offers post-graduate job
services, you still need to be proactive about your job search.
- Using a template resume – Employers view hundred, even thousands of
resumes each year so you need to customize your resume to ensure that it
stands out.
- Failure to follow up – After you’ve submitted an application or completed
an interview, it is important to follow up! Following up will help the
employer know that you are really interested in the position.
- Appearing unprofessional – Nowadays employers have the ability to
research potential candidates using their social media accounts. Don’t make
the mistake of posting unprofessional pictures on your page or at least
change your name so potential employers won’t find it.
- Not using every available resource – When looking for a job you need to
use every resource available to you – this includes the college career office,
your network, even other graduates who might have an “in” at a company
that interests you.
