Getting out of the university as fresher, you would definitely face a set of challenges and you will start asking your self: from where shall I start? how would I choose my first employer? How can I build up a profile that would value my skills and successfully sell my self ?
The first thing that in my opinion should be at your table, is actually the type of your first employer.
Successfully integrating into the job market is a challenging step, this is obviously due to the fact that the Job market is huge. You may be confused in front of Job portals, stating hundred of Jobs and firms looking for people like you.
After writing your precious application, you will start applying for jobs. Few things need to be checked before starting your journey:
Usually, in small firms, knowledge transfer is more smooth and communication is less bureaucratic. This means, getting in touch with Senior people is easier, this also applies for company processes, as usually they are compact and adapted to the company size.
I also recommend staying in the same Job at least 2 years. Less than that, the experience would not really make much sense once it's stated in your CV.
Do not run for money, money will come to you if you deserve it! and remember, you need to go for the Job, the Job does not come to you, unless you are a genius :)
Hope you find this post beneficial:)

The first thing that in my opinion should be at your table, is actually the type of your first employer.
Successfully integrating into the job market is a challenging step, this is obviously due to the fact that the Job market is huge. You may be confused in front of Job portals, stating hundred of Jobs and firms looking for people like you.
After writing your precious application, you will start applying for jobs. Few things need to be checked before starting your journey:
- Read carefully the Job offer! This is a must. Some people just look at the Job offer title, for example: Software Engineer and they just apply! first, the required skills should be checked, the seniority level should be checked, the work environment needs to be checked. If you are a fresher and you apply for a Job mentioning a work experience, then most probably your application would land in the bin... If you do not fulfill the language requirement mentioned on the Job offer, don't apply!
- How does your application look like? Did you wrote a cover letter? do you value your skills and prove them in your CV? did you checket the language spelling in your application? have you put any reference letter in your application?
- Are you willing to reallocate if you get a Job? this needs to be mentioned in your application?
- When would you be available for an interview ad eventually to start working?? mention this clearly in your application?
- Salary expectation! Here is a stressing point! Don't overvalue your self, search for a salary survey that would list average salary that would fit your skills. Do remember that the Job location is important in defining which salary your are expecting (e.g. a Job in Frankfurt or Munich pays more than the same Job(even in the same firm) in a small town in Germany.
- Do not lie in your CV. If you don't have a valid experience, don't state it into your CV! You could be ashamed being asked to prove your experience at a further step of the hiring process!
