Think about the groundswell. The groundswell is the internet and all the social interaction online. How can this be effective in business? Is this knowledge going to set you apart from other graduates and secure yourself a job?

If we can leave you with one thought about talking with the groundswell, it’s this: the conversation will evolve continously. Even as the technologies change, the basic conversational nature of these technologies will remain central. If you learn to talk, listen, and respond you’ll master the middle of the tunnel.

A message to Gen Y – Hard work is back

Hard work. Not the type of word the media and employees used to associate with generation Y.

However after the GFC, it is a different story. Graduates in the generation Y category are expected to work hard in order to secure even an entry-level position.

This may be a rude awakening to grad’s who expect all the perkes. But not to employers! They are glad, relieved even, that grad’s will have to endure what they endured to make it in the business/working world. You can read more in this article published by the financial review.

Hard work is the new “in” thing in order to get a job now grad’s!

Would you consider yourself a proactive graduate? What are you doing to secure yourself a job in this highly competitive graduate pool?

ProGrad’s advice would be to take advantage of every opportunity that is thrown your way. Secure an interview? Why would you pass it up? You may argue that certain interviews do not fit in your sphere of interest so why bother attending? Have you considered that even though you may not want the position, just attending the interview could be vital to your next career?

Take every opportunity as experience and learn from these experiences. You never know what you will learn and take away and make you a stronger candidate for another interview. Who knows what opportunites could also arise from attending that oine interview? The possibilities are endless.

Keep your horizons broad, attend everything you can and keep your eye out for that rare experience or opportunity!
