There are a few key things that as a student or recent graduate, you may want to be considering as you enter into the job market. It's a tough market out there if you aren't prepared and aren't sure what to do so think about the following tips:1. Get Clarity
How clear you are about what you want to do after university is critical. It is the single largest challenge at any stage of a person’s working life. Taking your first step into your first full-time role, it’s critical.
In order to get clear about what you want to do and what will be a great fit, experiment. Research, ask around, learn, try things out and really experiment until you get a real sense of where you want to go.

2. Use Your Tenacity
As a recent graduate or student you need to commit to finding a job, get on with it and not give up. You need to get yourself out there and be disciplined about it. Keep at it and don't expect anything to be handed to you on a plate. Stay determined and put the leg work in to make sure you get the best opportunity available to you.
3. Be Flexible
How adaptable are you going to be about location, the type of job and how much you will be paid. Think about what is right for you but also what is realistic to expect. If you are flexible you are likely to be in a better position to negotiate a deal that will work for everyone.
