Tier 3 College Students in the Job Market Navigating the job market is tough, and for students from tier 3 colleges, it often feels like an uphill battle. Here are some of the key challenges they face: 1. Limited Campus Placements: Many tier 3 colleges have fewer campus recruitment opportunities, making it harder to secure a job right after graduation. 2. Lack of Industry Exposure:We often have limited access to industry projects, internships, and networking opportunities, which are crucial for gaining practical experience and making valuable connections. 3. Skill Gaps: There can be gaps between the curriculum and the skills required by employers. Without additional training or self-learning, students might struggle to meet job requirements. 4. Perception Bias:Unfortunately, there is a perception bias where employers might undervalue the potential of students from lesser-known institutions, overlooking their talents and capabilities. 5. Networking:Building a professional network through LinkedIn, industry meetups, and webinars can open doors to opportunities. Internships and Projects:Proactively seeking internships and working on real-world projects can provide valuable experience and make a resume stand out. To all the tier 3 college students out there, remember, our college does not define our potential. With determination, the right skills, and a proactive approach, we can achieve your career goals. 🌟 #JobMarket #CareerDevelopment #Tier3Colleges #StudentSuccess #OvercomingChallenges #hiring #techhiring #CareerTips #ProfessionalGrowth

Writing content on social media is hard. Not the writing part, but the finding the ideas for the content itself. You can always ChatGPT some ideas. But looking for inspiration from my own life definitely makes it a whole lot easier. #muslimprofessionals #contentcreation

As a student in college, let me say this. College is not easy, but its pros outweigh the cons in the long run. Here are some tips that help in squeezing out the most out of it. Build Relationships: Connect with professors, advisors, and peers in your major. Utilize online platforms like LinkedIn Groups to expand your network, paving the way for professional development and potential job opportunities. Tap into Career Resources: Don't wait until graduation to visit the career resource center. Explore resume workshops, interview prep, and internship placement services. Start early to set career goals and establish valuable connections. Gain Practical Experience: Leverage your network to secure internships or volunteer opportunities. Hands-on experience complements classroom learning and enhances your skills. Seek Inspiration: Utilize LinkedIn’s University Pages to explore various career paths and gain insights from alumni. Researching successful professionals can inspire your academic and career choices.  Pro Tip: Add your college on Snapchat. Remember, your college journey is an investment, and the more you actively engage with resources and opportunities, the greater the returns on your investment will be! 🎓🌟 #CollegeSuccess #CareerDevelopment #muslimprofessionals

Finding the Right Talent for Your Apprenticeship Program? In today’s competitive job market, selecting the best candidates for your apprenticeship program is crucial. At Psytech International/UK, we understand that traditional biographical or competency-based interviews often fall short of capturing the full potential of an applicant who has little or no work experience.   That’s where our psychometric tests come in! Why Use Psychometric Testing for Apprentice Selection? Objective Insights: Our assessments go beyond resumes, providing a clear view of a candidate’s cognitive abilities, personality traits, and work preferences. Predictive Success: Psychometric tests help identify individuals who have the right attitude and potential for long-term success in your organisation. Fair Selection Process: By using standardised tests, you ensure every candidate is evaluated on a level playing field, promoting diversity and inclusion. Reduced Turnover: Selecting apprentices whose strengths align with the role reduces the likelihood of early dropouts, saving time and resources. The Result? A workforce that’s skilled, motivated, and ready to grow with your company! Ready to elevate your apprenticeship program?

Most students are involved on their campuses. But many of them make the same mistake: They get over-involved If you want to leverage your campus involvement to land an internship/job, don't focus on collecting general memberships in 5+ orgs. Instead, focus on 1-2 orgs and find ways to (eg.): • Lead projects • Plan and facilitate events • Contribute to strategic plans Anything where your actions directly contribute to a positive outcome. Now you'll have something impactful to share in your resume and interviews. This is often not realistic as a general member. Which is why it's better to prioritize 1-2 orgs and work your way to a leadership position. Any student can get involved in orgs. But few become leaders whose actions lift those orgs to new heights. That's how you stand out to recruiters. — PS. Unsure which org is the right fit for you? Try out a handful of them before deciding which one(s) you're most committed to. Can't find an org that resonates with you? Go and start one — you'll learn a lot by going through the founding process! (And it looks great on a resume.)

YES! I make light of the fact that 20% of our students are doing 80% of the work on campus, but it's often the case, unfortunately. I see resumes that are laundry lists of memberships and involvements without tangible, essential skill development included or highlighted. In addition, these student leaders are often burnt out by the time they graduate—which is another post for another day—and don't have the time or energy to commit to an important job search. There are so many valuable, transferable skills learned through student leadership! #Communication #Leadership #CriticalThinking #Teamwork #Technology #CareerandSelfDevelopment #EquityandInclusion #Professionalism #Resilience #Flexibility #Adaptability
