Online discussion for students and graduates “How to Get a Job Without Experience?”
Recent graduates and current students are facing many challenges when trying to find a job in their desired field. Among the most crucial ones are limited or no professional experience, high competition where entry-level positions attract many applicants, making it tough to stand out, and not knowing how to describe your achievements, competencies, skills, and abilities in a favorable light for a relevant vacancy. Perhaps the last one is the focal point.
