March 8, 2010 by Nicola · Leave a Comment
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!

How well do you want to do in your current job? How far would you like to go in your career? Paul Arden explains anything is possible in his book, ‘It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.’
‘You can achieve the unachievable’ - Paul Arden
ProGrad’s advice - Go for it. Set yourself a goal or something that you want to achieve in your life and make it your reality.
‘If you think you’re unable to work for the best company in its sphere, make that your aim…If you think you’re unable to make the cover of Time magazine, make it your business to be there.’ - Paul Arden
Make this your life motto: Anything is possible and do what you have set out to do.
