In this growing economy and with the advancements in technology, people tend think that there are no jobs out there. For many graduates, finishing school brings a daunting question, now what?

For them it usually feels that they have reached their end of the road, pressure by the society to get a job increases and they are left stuck without knowing what to do.

But that should not be the case, because, in choosing to create, learn or simply try, each step becomes a quiet rebellion against stagnation, and a hope towards the future.

These are some of the things that one can indulge in immediately after school;

1. Freelancing

After graduating from school one can choose to be a freelancer, i.e. you can write online, do reviews about places, start tutoring or even better do digital marketing.

This will be a wonderful opportunity in that graduates are able to apply what they have learned in practical ways. Anything that one decides to do will be like a mini lesson, building both confidence and competence.

2. Networking and Volunteering

Immediately after graduating, a graduate should start building connections with people in different fields because you never know who might be your ticket to success, and if you hear that they are organizations looking for volunteers you can choose to volunteer and gain other skills and experiences while making connections.

3. Entrepreneurship

If you have a knack for business then you can start a small business based on what you like, it could be something handmade, to offering consultations. This will help you grow your name and help you in the world out there. As it will serve as a motivation to do better and to improve yourself.

4. Internships and part – time jobs

Look for a job that fits with what you are good at, or you can try something different. Gain hands on experience while earning some income.

5. Personal branding

You can also build an online presence through, blogging, LinkedIn, or through social media to showcase expertise.

So the notion that there is no job out there should not even be considered since there are many things to be done, discovered, invented and there are very few people who are willing to do it.

The job may not come tomorrow but the effort that you put in today builds more than just a resume, it builds you. So why not begin?
