Firstly it is important to note that the organization dynamics have changed, expectations
of employers and potential employee are also very different as compared to a decade ago.
In short the world has changed! To increase the complexity, you will also find that there
are so many courses in the market place that one wonder how can one cope with such a
’maze’ let alone decide on the one that will suit you and most important of all, one that
can lead you to a fulfilling career later in life.
E) The reason why Graduates have problem
finding his/her first job:
1. Ability to communicate well and include oral and written communication. This
explains why most applicants are not even granted an interview.
2. Expectations of new graduates are ‘high’ and tend to seek jobs that can quickly
put them in the main stream of work –very selective on the type of organizations
– often targeting multi-nationals only?
3. The courses or/and subjects that the graduates studied are not relevant and not
applicable to the industry.
4. ‘Over qualified graduates – graduates are embarking on post graduate courses
with minimal work experience and in some cases none at all.
5. Not prepared to re-locate to smaller towns – everyone is heading for the City.
6. Graduates cannot market themselves well
7. Perception of attitude issues of fresh graduates – ‘silver spoon’
