Can An Employer Give A Bad Reference
About 3.5 million students graduating from university each year. However, most people do not realize that more than one million of these students are unable to find a good job, a job that pays well and offers a potential career. In fact, in difficult times, the number of college graduates, unemployed or underemployed can easily get close to two million dollars.
Above all, clear and precise reasons why many older people, many colleges and new graduates can not find a good job. Let me share some with you:
1. Beliefs and expectations – Many students expect to receive labor supply, following interviews on campus. The truth is that very few students receive job offers on-campus interviews. Therefore, if students are not well prepared to conduct a job search high and competitive for a long period of time, be disappointed and frustrated.
Some students believe that finding a job will be easy. They think they are going to send ten or twelve resumes, take a few interviews and someone offered a good job. They are wrong. All students, even the best students, have to fight for a good job. In difficult times, when there are few jobs, the competition will be even greater. This means good students may have to send hundreds of resumes and have many interviews before receiving only decent Job.
Students often believe they can wait until the second half of last year to start thinking about your job search. This is not true. All non-university students in recent years must support their job search goals. When students are not aware of the need for solid preparation in the long run they will lose more students have prepared.
2. Grades – Employers tend to have performance requirements. If a student's cumulative grade point average meets or exceeds the requirements of the employer, the student may or may not be questioned. However, if students do not meet requirements of the employer, shall not be questioned. Moreover, when many candidates, Employers often increase their minimum requirements.
Many employers use an average of 3.0 CMU (B) as a minimum requirement. Other employers may have requirements even higher. Students with an average of 2.5 or lower can be grouped with others in the lower third of his class. How many employers actively seek graduates the lower third of the class? Not much.
3. Ability to communicate – Some students enter college with poor communication skills (Reading, writing and speaking) and do little to improve those skills during their college years. The Best Employers are not interested in students with communication skills (vocabulary, grammar, slang, curses and child language) will affect the company's image or interfere with job performance. Above average communication skills to turn entrepreneurs. Lack of communication skills disable them. As simple as that.
4. Experience – Employers love students have success in the workplace. When students have been successful in a job that relates directly to employers area of interest, which is a very important asset. Even the experience of working in an unrelated field may work for the student when they have made significant contributions and have a variety of success. However, students who do not have any work experience institutions generally regarded as unproven. Many employers are unwilling to risk a student who has completed college without ever having a part-time or summer job.
5. Achievements and Results – Top Employers put a lot of stock in the results that students achieve in the classroom, on campus, at work in the community and leisure activities. When these results are strong and positive and can be directly related to the use for which the student is seeking is a strong recommendation. But when the students have average results, No results or outcomes that are entirely unrelated to your business environment, the entrepreneurs have trouble seeing a reason to keep going. Strengthening of the candidates will win.
6. References – When a well-known, well respected, a person who provides a strong and powerful reference and enthusiastic, employers will be impressed. However, the best references does not provide strong support staff when they do not really know the student, I have not seen many results in ongoing or have had bad experiences with students. References are not neglected, are an essential part of the job search and should be encouraged and strengthened over years of college.
7. Preparation – Preparing for job search more years should be a serious illness, although he thought four years a process, not a sport Late activity. Because most students begin too late, can not meet employer expectations and requirements. In fact, most students do not bother to identify the expectations and requirements that employers intend to continue. When students do not know what employers want and need, is unlikely to meet these requirements. It is a great error.
Only students who understand what must be done with diligence and preparation steps, it will university can hope to improve their chances of successfully finding employment. No student may wait until the last year of college to try to do things that should have been done in previous years and we expect a great job.
The fact is that employers provide good jobs for students they have obtained. Students get jobs with a long series of actions, successes and achievements in the classroom, on campus, work, community and leisure activities. They give their employers target exactly what they need and want. To do this, the preparation of a student should be well planned and methodical, comprehensive and based on the needs of employers and expectations. When students complain they can not find a job, it is likely that these students have missed many of these seven requirements.
