The first step to any great application is to figure out what recruiters and hiring managers look for in a candidate. After all, how can you convince them that you’re the perfect fit, if you don’t know what that means?
Now that you know what the employer is looking for, you should now present yourself as the perfect candidate – one they’d be silly not to hire!
A referral is like having someone inside the company give you a thumbs up, saying, "I know this person, and they would be a great fit here." Referrals can help move your resume to the top of the pile, raising your chances of getting an interview – if not the job itself.
Now that you know exactly what you need to do, it's time to go after that prized graduate job or paid internship – or find even more related opportunities on Prosple’s jobs board, designed for students like you! Good luck & happy hunting!
