What next after your graduation ?

In this post, I would like to give some options or idea what to do next after your graduation. They are many definitions on graduation, but in this post let say graduation means “a day after you have completed your final examinations”.

I believe 2-3 months before your graduation, you have an idea what to do right whether to work, further studies etc. Whatever your plan is, you still need to do something. Based on my experience and observation, I list down some options that you can consider :

1. Certification Letter & Academic transcript

This letter issued by University for you to use when you applying for a job or anything that require your status as graduate. Academic transcript is a summary of your final result.

2. Sponsorship Status

If you were sponsored by any organization, arrange for meeting with them. Ask what you can expect after your graduation. Sponsor very often never promise any job for scholars ! Get release letter if necessary.

3. English Communication

Get your self enroll to any extensive English Course if you think that your communication skill need to be improved. Of course English cannot be improved overnight, but at least this shows that you serious about it and as employer, they tend to like this type of candidates. A course by British Council, of which I think still the best.

4. Further studies

I don’t have any statistic on this option, but many people opt for these in local universities or overseas. You can apply online or offline. But be careful on the accreditation. Check with JPA or LAN first. In case you need sponsorship, visit Malaysia-scholarship.net.

5. Career Fair

We have many careers fair either conducted by universities or third party. Get your self involve. During this event, many talk/workshop normally will be arranged for you for free. So don’t miss it. Get updates here.

6. Register with Recruitment Agency/ Head hunter
