1. Go for training and gain proficiency in the following - Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
2. Put together a functional CV. By now, you should be able to have information to cover one and a half or two pages.
3. NYSC shouldn’t come under “education” in your CV. It should be under “Work Experience” and the achievements you recorded should be stated.
4. Now is the time to have a great LinkedIn profile. And don’t just put “student” on your header. If you intend to pursue a career in HR, rather put “Emerging HR Professional.”
5. Volunteer - it serves as proof that you’re a leader. You’ll also gain critical skills which are needed in the workplace.
6. Clean up your social media accounts. Your 1st Class or 2.1 won’t mean much if your social media profiles tell a different story.
7. Now is the time to register for online courses. They come under “Continuous Professional Development” on your CV.
8. No matter what you studied, Project Management, Communication and Presentation skills will make you stand out from others.
9. Network - these relationships will come in handy as you progress.
10. The journey ahead will be tough and rough - get yourself a Mentor. They’ll help to add clarity to your journey.
