Figuring out your next move

Here’s the situation on plain sight. You’re the fish in Finding Nemo, escaped the small fish pot of yours and back to the ocean, now what?

I get it, life is hard, real life sucks, but you’re gonna love it. Guaranteed Monica Geller’s life wisdom.

The big thing is you’re now welcomed in the grown-ups’ life that have duties, depts, financial matters to tend to, marriage, stable jobs, and infinity future planning and all that life after graduation process. You’ll find yourself dragged into all these matters step by step, cannot tell you how to escape these things. But I sure can help you figure out the next move in your life after graduation.

Your safe bet in this stage is staying in a relative major tp your degree. Did you study marketing? Commerce? Finances? Start with that. Remember, there aren’t just one or two jobs for each subject. For example, if you studied arts, doesn’t mean you’re confined to being an artist. Think about crafting goods, working at galleries, writing, creative directing… You’ve got endless opportunities!

Apply for Internships or courses

In this stage of your life, you need to be leveraging the power of internships, and courses. Collecting skills and certificates to prove your experience. This means building up your CV in the easiest ways you could.

Also try volunteering in small projects, this should help build up a good CV and actually a good reputation. Represent yourself as an active member in the workforce world and a selfless personality who’s willing to collaborate for free in projects that matter to them or cases you believe in. Being able to offer support and help others with no materialistic aspirations is a very good hack to people’s hearts, meanwhile you’ll be building soft skills.

Laverage the power of networking

There’s always this friend in college that has started building a career so soon, stick to him, or at least approach him from time to time, and keep a good relationship with similar characters. Those who lead successful career lives but lays low in education, you’re going to need them later on after graduation.

Take advantage of your relatives and connections. What steps have they taken? Also, you may have in your network someone who can provide some options. For instance, an internship he took in his start, or a job he had last year. Your connections are the perfect place to start.

Research your life out.

What does that mean? It means research every step in your life, study around it, read opinions of people who’re ahead in their lives. In a nutshell, inspire your next moves from job researching. “Researching” and not just “searching” I mean, searching for a job is just browsing a certain title and available vacancies, while researching jobs means studying the title and the tasks associated with it. Learning what position needs which skills, which of them you lack and need to acquire and improve in order to win that position and build a career in it.

Some companies offer entry-level jobs that require minimum experience. You could commit to a relative job for a while; see if you match and work on finding your direction and improving your skills until you get where you fit most.

View and research these entry-level positions

  • Data Journalist
  • Assistant
  • Sales Outdoor
  • Sales Representatives
  • Accountant
  • HR Generalist
  • Sales
  • Legal Affairs Specialist
  • Telesales
  • Direct Sales
  • Sales Agents
  • Sales Outdoor

Life after graduation possibilities

Endless. Although there are a few choices to discover, some professions require post-graduate degrees, like training to be a lawyer. Through post-graduate studies, you can learn a lot about any subject you want to specialize in. Such thought is really valuable when you’re aiming at building your future career.

There’s also a different approach, which is becoming self-employed. Entrepreneurship has gained a huge reputation in the Arab world in the past few years. You can go from a simple freelance worker to an entrepreneur who owns a startup, you can later aim for getting recognition and sell your own startup for a huge deal. Being self-employed give you more flexibility, freedom, and control over your work-life. Think of it, and browse MBA scholarships as the first step in this path.
