No One Warned : The Silent Struggles of Every Job Seeker

Every one of us worked hard for the degrees we are pursuing or have pursued. Many students live under the delusion that once they finish their degrees, they will get good job opportunities. However, in the job world, degrees are necessary but not sufficient, employers also ask about skills. As young, naive students, we find it difficult to cope with all these scenarios. No one prepares us for these harsh realities. One has to find their own way.

I think colleges should also include up-skilling and job-readiness training for students. Many students are talented enough, but they don’t get the right platform to showcase their talent. Some companies don’t hire freshers, but then how will freshers ever gain experience if no one hires them?

You need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience.

Are you a fresher struggling with the same reality? Drop your thoughts :speech_balloon:

It’s absolutely true, college academics is not enough to enter the real world jobs which demand skills. But instead of waiting for opportunity we should show up for guidance through seniors, experienced professionals and try building basic skills and apply internships.

Yes, I always wonder the same thing: how do freshers get experience without actually having done a job before?

No one prepares us for these hurdles, and it is overwhelming to think that freshers aren’t hired due to a lack of experience. Colleges must provide relevant skill training and more employment opportunities to students.
