If you are a fresher looking for a job you may be
thinking of various ways to get a job. You may be discussing with
your friends, relatives, and seniors about the various job
opportunities. You can ask them to describe the work they do ( a job
description or profile) and find out if the work style will suit you.
You can also browse online or read magazines and books about the
specific job you dream of getting.
There are lots of self-assessment tools on the web.
These tools will help you find out your strengths and weaknesses. If
you Google on the net you may find tools like Myers Briggs Type
Indicator.
You can think of volunteering or become an intern at
a company and test if the job profile will choose you. This
experience will help you know how the job will be on a day-to-day
basis. Have a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C. Try out alternate job
options.
In your initial job or first job, you need not worry
about how much salary you are offered. Instead, you should focus on
the job profile and the salary. Research shows that we may change our
job profiles multiple times in our career. So, this process will not
only be helpful for a job search the first time but will also be
useful throughout your career.
One option for you as a fresher will be to work on a
time-tested strategy. Many freshers have joined SLA IT Employment
