Learn values from First Job

These are some tips which i attract from Jobstreet wrote by SC Chen, First Job Hunting


Value of Responsibility
Your job or profession helps you to develop a sense of responsibility. Although we learn a certain level of responsibility from our family circle and also in colleges or universities, nowhere do we learn it to the degree as that from the working place. Job descriptions, defined duties, performance expectations, deadlines - they all exert their positive pressures on us. Either you meet the requirements or you may lose your job. Therefore, your job forces you to accept the challenges of responsible adulthood.

Value of Accomplishment
What is accomplishment? It is the sense of satisfaction that your hard work has finally brought you pleasure. Just like you have accomplished your graduateship and given you the sense of success, it helps to build up your self-esteem and confidence for your next assignment - your first job. Whilst your responsibilities will increase and tasks become complicated, your previous success and accomplishment will move you to work harder. You will learn the joy of a job well done.

Value of Dignity
Dignity means self-respect. It is important that we fill our days with pleasant, meaningful activities. Diligent labour or work helps to produce dignity in us who are committed to it. Whether you end up being an executive who reads the market accurately, or a lecturer who delivers a well-prepared paper or an accountant whose book balances, you can experience dignity. Therefore, choose your first job well and be committed to it, and you will reap the rewards.

How can you project yourself to be the right candidate for your prospective employer? Remember, you are a fresh graduate with no or minimal working experience. A quick scan through the newspaper easily tells us that most positions require a certain level of working experience from the job applicants. So, what are your chances of getting a job? Well, there are positions in the professional firms that provide working opportunities for fresh graduates in the accounting, taxation, secretarial or legal line. You may try for a management trainee position where you will be trained for various management aspects in an organisation.
