when im finished with my degree

Im afriad i wont be able to get a job
even tho ill have my degree

Answer 1

Volunteer at a vet's office or an animal shelter. That type of experience goes far. And you will also be doing a wonderful service. It will even give you a chance to see for sure that it is the type of work you really want to do.

Answer 2

Many companies specifically recruit graduates.

Everyone starts with no experience.

Recently, companies have been so hungry for job ready employees that there is an increasingly large number of people unable to get their first job.

So there often they advertise for experience, but there is no harm in applying for these jobs anyway to see what happens.

How to get some experience.

After 3 years at university you should no longer be at chucky cheese, but finding part-time work that is a little bit more challenging. Hell, if you are at Chucky Cheese you should be applying to be a supervisor.

To get experience stop your whining and go and get some.

Summer holiday should have been a time to do this. I just worked a summer camp in Shanghai with at least 4 of the teachers still at university (studying everything from Asian studies to medicine).

Other things include internships, volunteer work, work experience etc etc.

That first leap into a job is often the most difficult. But as everyone else does it you shouldn't worry too much. But you should be thinking about what you can do to give you that slight edge over other people.

Answer 3

You're going to likely have a crappy low-paying job right out of school anyway. In the meantime, volunteer, work part-time or look for an internship. If you're getting a degree as a veterinary technician, try the local animal shelter. They ALWAYS need people. And judging by your username, you're going to be out on pregnancy leave soon anyway.... stay away from the litter box while pregnant. Good luck!

Answer 4

nicely for me, attempting to get a place as a programmer, that is a similar way- yet they often pick approximately 3 years of adventure. i'm in basic terms doing programming at domicile, with a bit of luck my college will place me in a paintings-study software (I utilized for financial help), yet that could desire to be slightly bit a protracted shot.

Answer 5

Trust me, the hiring process is all luck. Education means nothing these days without experience, that nobody will give you because you have no experience, I think the whole thig is quite ridiculous...and people wonder why the economy is doing so bad these days.

Answer 6

lie just pick like a garbage job lie and when you start working remember everything and then when you go to another job you ll know what to say usually they don't call for references and if they do givem a number to one of your friends and have them answer the phone like it was that place.How do u think people get jobs???
