If you are a recent engineering graduate in the UK or anywhere, your best bet of getting a job quickly is through the graduate route or entry level jobs regardless of your previous experience in your home country. Hiring companies usually test more for people skills than technical skills. If you are a current postgraduate student, try applying for placements or internships before the end of your study. These placements would enhance your CV, give your job search a big boost and make you more noticeable. You can also get retained by the company if you do very well. Some placements can be done during school breaks with minimal impacts on your study time. You also need to draft a good CV and an unsolicited cover letter. One very good site or app to search for STEM graduate jobs and placements is Gradcracker. Although Gradcracker focuses mostly on STEM jobs, other types of job roles are also available.

Drowning in uni coursework? I get it - but you don't forget about your job search! Here's why... 🔎 👉 Early bird advantage: starting early gives you a competitive edge over other grads who wait until after graduation. 👉 Smoother transition: securing a job pre-graduation helps you avoid potential gaps in employment. 👉 Stress-free summer: knowing you have a job lined up reduces stress, enabling you to fully enjoy your summer.

Thinking of hiring candidates fresh off colleges? Here are the dos and don'ts hiring managers should follow. ✅ The Dos: 𝟏. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝: Identify the colleges and universities that align with your hiring needs and culture. Connect with student organizations early to secure prime recruitment dates. Find the Dean or professors in the areas you’re seeking to hire. Start recruiting through professors, student body, former ambassadors, etc. 𝟐. 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬: Info sessions are a great way to present what you do in detail. It's also a great way to evaluate potential hires while giving students a taste of your company culture. 𝟑. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬: Highlight your company's completed and ongoing projects during campus presentations. Visuals and case studies can capture the interest of aspiring construction professionals, especially Gen Z. 𝟒. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Mention any training and development programs you offer. Construction techniques and technologies are evolving, and candidates value employers who invest in stretching their skills. 𝟓. 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Encourage diversity in your hiring process. Promote an inclusive workplace culture that welcomes candidates from all backgrounds. 𝟔. 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫: Who you send to represent matters. Select the best ambassador to speak up on your behalf—someone who truly believes in your mission as a firm, culture, and overall future. ❌ The Don'ts: 𝟏. 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬: Rushed or unprepared interviews can deter potential hires. Take the time to create structured interview processes and questions that assess relevant skills and qualities. Top candidates will run if you take a cavalier approach to hiring. 𝟐. 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬' 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥: Don't expect to hire interns to treat them as mere temporary help. Therefore, develop a plan, including what they will learn during their tenure. Nurture their growth, as they could become valuable full-time employees. 𝟑. 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤: Constructive feedback from students who interact with your company can be invaluable. Take note of their impressions and suggestions to improve your campus recruitment strategy for the next round. Always be making adjustments to get Top Talent. 𝟒. 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐔𝐩𝐬: Follow up promptly with potential candidates after campus events. Show genuine interest in their aspirations and show them respect by making a decision in a timely manner. Happy college recruiting season! #ConstructionJobs #Hiring #ConstructionRecruiting

1.) Right now, there are very few IT jobs being offered directly from college campuses, and it's the lowest it's been in 20 years. 2.) Companies providing software services might only hire about 70,000 to 80,000 new graduates by the end of the financial year 2024, out of a total of 1.5 million engineering graduates. 3.) Comparatively, in the previous financial year, about 250,000 fresh graduates were hired, and in the year before that, it was around 600,000. 4.) Tier 2 colleges, especially those relying heavily on IT job placements, have been hit the hardest by this decline. #engineering #jobs #recruitment #computerscience #finance #economics

🙌By 2024, 45 percent of US companies seek to eliminate bachelor's degree requirements for certain occupations 🇺🇸When examining job candidate applications, 80% of 800 firms said they were "very likely" or "likely" to emphasize work experience above education. Furthermore, 81% feel that recent college graduates must gain work experience. While a young person without a bachelor's degree may be able to find an entry-level position, the lack of the degree, as well as the other soft skills developed in college, can make it difficult to climb up the corporate ladder. #degree #graduate #expensive #college #tinds #tindsnews #corporate

🌟 A Personal Reflection on Degree Requirements 🌟 During my job search, I came across a job posting that really made me stop and think. It specified that candidates should have an undergraduate degree from a “top-tier” school or a graduate degree from a top-tier institution. 🤔 I didn’t apply, not because I lack experience or skills, but because none of my degrees are from a top-tier school. It got me wondering: how many talented individuals might be discouraged from applying because of such requirements? Here’s why this matters: 1. Excludes Qualified Talent: Many skilled professionals come from diverse educational backgrounds and might not have attended a top-tier school but bring invaluable experience and skills. 🚀 2. Perpetuates Elitism: Emphasizing the prestige of educational institutions can favor those from privileged backgrounds, potentially overlooking diverse talent from less traditional paths. 🌍 3. Undervalues Practical Experience: Skills and real-world experience often outweigh the name of a university on a resume. 💪 I believe it’s time we shift our focus to competencies and experience rather than just the prestige of educational institutions. Let’s make hiring more inclusive and welcoming to all talented candidates! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Do you think degree requirements are limiting opportunities for great talent? Looking forward to the discussion! ✨ #CareerDevelopment #HiringPractices #DiversityAndInclusion #TalentAcquisition

Microsoft came on campus and shortlisted 46 students for the interview after online test and resume shortlisting. In round one, most were eliminated and only 17 went to the round 2, finally after this there were only 2 final selections that to one from Electrical Engineering and another from Electronics and Communications Engineering. I was talking to a student from my college this morning and she was upset with how this happened as her interview was on point answeringa ll the questions correctly and she was expecting a selection but things always don’t go the way we want. You would feel you were not lucky, which is the case 50% but it depends on these factors : - Hiring numbers for the company were low and they couldn’t hire more than 2. - The interviewer you got was kind of different and had a strict marking as compared to rest. - Although you felt everything was good, but the way you present your work and answers matter even more. That might not be your day? Stop blaming yourself or considering yourself as unlucky. Things will change, it takes time and this is just the start. Wishing you the best for this placement season. Starting this new series #CampusStories for this placement season, stay tuned for more. #arshgoyal #hiring #campus #placement #internship

Don’t go for a job just after your bachelors. This is what I heard from most of the people around me. Doing a job after a masters is considered good. But going for a job just after graduation is still considered a bad decision. Watch this : https://lnkd.in/gpk8Qcwa Three years after my undergrad degree and almost two years of working in corporate. I can finally say that there is no bad or good decision. It is your own choice. Society has its own terms, and I am glad that I will never be a part of it. Working in corporate would give you real-time exposure that a masters degree would never have. Having work experience before your masters is worth it. Make your own decisions because at the end it is your life :) resume reference : https://lnkd.in/gwawd5Ag #corporate #college
