Is It Luck?
Expo 1213 "What is Work?"
Maddy Payne
The extent of my working experience
has been babysitting and dog walking.
Beyond that, I have never had a job that has a uniform, an application
process, or specific time shifts. Which,
growing up, was nice but also holds me at a disadvantage because companies,
restaurants, and other businesses are less likely to hire an inexperienced
person than one who has a lot to show on his or her memory.
After thinking about this, I wonder
if inexperience is maybe a factor in why college graduates struggle with finding
jobs after graduating. Personally, I
have a lot of friends who have gone to university, graduated, and are
struggling finding jobs. However, then
again, that is why internships are so popular and usually utilized throughout
college and during summers. Thus, it
still confuses me as to why college graduates who hold MS degrees, Bachelors
degrees, and Masters have such a hard time finding jobs.
Another reason I think it might be
hard for college graduates to find a job out of college is a lack of connections. Connections get people places. References, suggestions, names, they are all
necessary in order to fight the competition and obtain a job.
