HOW TO BUILD YOUR EXPERIENCE
U.S.A. Academy can help you to have a good advice!
Here are four ways to gain experience and get your foot in the door so you can get your first job.
1- Volunteering
There are many non-profit organizations that have volunteer positions where you can get work experience.
Whether you have a degree in web design, or education, there are ways organizations can put your skills in good use.
While many students complete at least one training as part of their bachelor’s degree requirements, more and more new graduates apply for training as well.
Getting into a company in your career is a great way to get the experience to do the kind of work you want to do.
3. Networks
Communication is a great way to make professional contacts that can lead to a first job. Join student and professional organizations based on your career goals.
Most organizations sponsor networking events, conferences and workshops. Every interaction you have with people in your career can promote a new relationship, or contact you can get an interview for a job you really want.
4. Freelancing
Sometimes you have to prove that you can do the job before you are hired. Freelancing is a great way to show what you can do. You may have to do your own business for the first time free or low pay, just to gain experience and a positive sign.
After the first time, however, you now have more experience that you can add to your resume.
How You Can Build Your Work Experience Over The Winter Break
With that the season of festivity and holidays is here too. While you may be in the full mood to enjoy the winter break, there are certain things you can and should be doing to make this time a more fruitful one.
Become a tutor
A great way to earn some pocket money, add valuable experience to your resume and make the most of the winter break would be to become a tutor. Being a tutor can help you not just share the valuable knowledge acquired over the years but also become proficient in the subject. If you are good at computer science then being a tutor would mean you will have to go back to the basics and get it sorted and strengthened before you get ready to start answering the questions thrown in by your students. If commerce is your field of choice, then start classes that involve that subject.
Do an internship
This one is pretty obvious and holds a lot of meaning. Winter internships or summer internships that can recommend your name in the future can be a lot of help and should be the first thing on your mind as the winter break approaches. An internship, whether it be virtual or full time, can give you an idea of how things in the corporate world and what is expected of you. It will give you the time to prepare for an intensive work routine while also sitting prettily on your resume.
Work for a mentor
Choose a mentor, hopefully a professor or someone in the profession you want to be in. Working for a professor or someone in the right profession can open a whole doorway of new possibilities for you. You can not only learn a great deal from them but can also build a network by taking their help and connect with the people with similar interests and mindsets. Your professor or mentor can also tell you about the latest job openings or guide you to the right internships while giving you a fill of their experience to rely on.
Join Some Student Organization
Your college activities and what work you do beyond the limitations of your classes matters a lot and says a lot about you and works wonderfully on your resume. So, this winter break, take the opportunity to join student organizations and be an active part of it. It will not only make your vacation more exciting but also up your employ ability skills. Students organizations require you to put your best foot forward and give you the opportunity to work in a comprehensive and challenging environment, so making you more job ready.
