Jobs – News Announcement

Many young people who have just completed university feel uneasy when they are faced with the challenge of finding graduate jobs to apply to. It may be that their experience of academic study during the past three or four years in which they have been an undergraduate seems irrelevant to the majority of businesses offering a graduate scheme. Help is at hand however, as many graduates will find that the skills they have learnt while studying for their degrees are actually very compatible with those that many top graduate employers are seeking. The capacity to work efficiently and productively to deadlines – a skill learnt by the majority of good students – is just one example of the kind of expertise that is transferable from the academic to the professional world. Of course, it is beneficial for graduate job-seekers to have a impressive CV that provides evidence of a certain amount of work experience. This experience need not have been acquired during the graduate’s time at university though – relevant work experience can just as easily be procured after university through an internship.

Career player offers ample information, tips and advice on what sort of internships are out there and how to get the most from them. This is because the people behind this careers website are aware that an internship is often the key to bettering graduates’ chances in securing the graduate jobs that they really want. At a time when graduate unemployment levels are high, many university leavers feel dispirited at the prospect of job hunting in hard times. Persistence is clearly required because sometimes it will take a while before graduates are accepted onto graduate schemes. An internship can help graduates to avoid getting disheartened though- even if an internship lasts only a month or two the important thing for graduates to remember is that the work experience it offers could be invaluable in the near future when more job vacancies become available. Internships also keep graduates enthused and therefore in the right mindset to begin professional life.

Internship opportunities, graduate schemes and graduate jobs can all be found posted on reputable careers websites and graduates can be encouraged by how frequently new opportunities are made open to them. Job seekers using these websites must still be well prepared and not get complacent in their search for work however, as opportunities often taken very quickly to other strong candidates competing for the same post. Preparation consists of knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, having a well-presented CV and making time to write an attention-grabbing application. Careers websites can help graduates with all of the above if they make use of sections offering example CVs, psychometric tests and articles written by insiders from a range of industries.

Altogether, graduate jobs might be more accessible than many university leavers believe them to be. If their talents and experience are suited to a particular graduate scheme the likelihood is that they stand in a strong position to get at least an interview for a fulfilling, fairly-paid graduate job or internship. The main requirement for job-hunting success is determination and a savvy approach. Careers websites are brilliant resources for helping graduates gain the wherewithal and confidence they need.

Social work jobs are often much misunderstood, because social workers often end up in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. We all know that the media – tabloids especially – loves to tell a tale of tragedy and misbehaviour. But the old maxim – when you do something right, people won’t know you’ve done anything at all – might well apply to social worker jobs. Well, at least in the sense that it is unlikely for there to be headlines in the papers about what great things are being done to benefit society by people in social services jobs: it is much more likely that they will focus on the one bad example that is not at all representative of social workers in general.

But the truth is that when a social worker does his or her job well – and the majority of them do, regardless of what the papers might say – it does get noticed. Not by the journalists, cameramen or news reporters, but by the people that social work jobs are there for. It seems that amidst all of the scandalising of community jobs, especially in the public sector, most people have lost the concept of what social work actually is, and what social services jobs actually do for the communities around the country.

A social worker is there for lots of different sorts of people – perhaps another reason why most people do not have a very clear idea of what a social or care worker does. But the common thread lies in the reality that a lot of people in this country – and indeed in every country – are in a state of crisis in one form or another. Social workers are there to help them out of their crises, and therefore the job of a social worker can be as varied as the issues of the people being helped.

A significant proportion – just over half – of social services jobs are to do with supporting young people and their families. But there are several other categories of people that are helped by people in social worker jobs. They include the elderly, drug addicts and alcohol abusers, people with learning disabilities or other mental health afflictions, and young offenders. Social work jobs involve a range of activities. For instance, workers maintain regular contact with service users, in order to be able to advocate for them or to offer counselling support. They also write up reports, often in partnership with medical staff to evaluate service users’ needs.
