Many of the large employers start their Graduate intakes this month, but not everyone will have got their dream job, be that because of the competition or perhaps from not achieving that degree result. If you didn't secure that 2:1 you (and all your University stakeholders) were expecting, then all is not lost. Firstly, many employers no longer require a 2:1 and they might have some jobs you can apply for with a January intake.
Secondly, check out the startup space - these employers typically recruit on tangible skills versus education because for better or worse, they can put you to more use if you've got some practical skills for the workplace.
Work experience counts for a lot - if you've got some experience make sure it's on your CV and that you've highlighted your skills. Being able to write professional emails, turn up on time and work in a team effectively are not always skills that accompany a top degree classification, so make sure your employer can see it crystal clear if you've got these skills, and that will quite often outweigh the result of your degree.
Your part time job you might have had could have given you more skills than you think. Working as a sales person? Then you've probably learnt to influence people and know the product you're selling. Working as a waiter? Then you most likely have learnt to cope under intense pressure with challenging customers.
And finally, don't forget that your LinkedIn profile is going to be the main thing that employers look at - so ensure you've got your skills, education and experience on there so that the key words pop up when employers search for an ideal employee that you fit the bill for.
It’s also worth trying to develop skills that are valued by all employers. “Reflect on what you are doing on a daily basis and the skills that you are applying,” says Hooke. “Team work? Customer service? Problem solving? Make a note of some of the significant things that you have handled well, for example a particularly difficult customer query or complaint. These may become useful examples to talk about in future job applications.”
