Many people find it hard to get employed immediately after they graduate and often have to do
one or two extra courses before securing a good job. While this is not a bad thing, it’s better to
have the upper hand right from when you are an undergrad.
1. Create a plan for the semester
There’s a popular saying, “If you fail to plan, you plan
to fail.” You should have a plan for every semester as you’re heading for school, which
helps you create schedules to get the best of what you are taught and be in a better
position to apply them when you start applying for jobs. Reading schedules, club
schedules…
2. Always read books 
As cliche as this may sound, you can never go wrong by reading
books. Books help to fuel your mentality, direct your pathway and add that extra beyond
what you are thought in the classroom. Read inspirational biographies and books that
relate to your career path.
3. Join a school social club
Look out for and join reasonable social clubs that are sure to
help you grow into the person you would like to be. You would learn a thing or two from
these clubs, especially networking and rubbing minds.
4. Go for a leadership post
It might sound unnecessary, this is very important. Being the
head of your departmental association or an executive of student union help you develop
key skills in leading a team and how to manage people. Such roles also equip you with
vital skills on how to deal with pressure.
5. Get your grades up
This is the most basic requirement. Nobody wants to employ
someone with bad grades – it happens, but in very rare circumstances. It’s better not to
try going against the odds.
6. Secure internships during the holidays
Internships also count as work experience
and they help a lot, as you get to understand the practical side of business or the
corporate world.
