Graduate Jobs? Tips to stand out from the rest.

If you’re new to the workforce or a recent graduate, you have reason to celebrate. This group is experiencing a wave of the best job prospects in decades. Though the future is looking bright and jobs are booming, the question arises; how can you make the most of this sunny period and take advantage of these career opportunities? Here at New Force, we are the experts in the graduate employment sphere.  We hope the following tips will help you bring out the in your job search and applications. 1. New Force Profile New Force is a platform developed to work for entry level and graduate job seekers. Rather than be assessed simply based on your CV and experience, you can present employers a much more 3 dimensional view of yourself as a candidate. Your New Force profile allows you to fill out your details and bio, and upload a video introduction so employers can see you right away. Plus adding unlimited skills tests to your profile lets employers see that you can hit the ground running, and actually do the task at hand. 2. Social Media presence. There is a big difference between having social media profiles that simply exist and social media profiles that act as a promotional tool  to aid your job search. It is a ritual for many employers now to conduct an informal audit of a potential employee’s social media presence. A Google search, Facebook search, Twitter LinkedIn….. etc Be creative, brand yourself, and keep your personality consistent over all your social platforms. Giving the impression that you are one thing on your Twitter feed can send mixed signals if you are something completely different on your LinkedIn profile. Though they are completely different social networking tools that serve different purposes, it will act to serve your personal brand better if you can maintain a sense of connection between them all. 3. Don’t Hide This is something we don’t believe that entry level job seekers hear enough: Give potential employers as much opportunity to see you from as many angles as possible. If it’s your CV, add a photo, if it is your social media profiles let employers see information that portrays you in a positive light. We know that entering the job market after uni can be tough. Landing your first job is not just about the qualification or degree you have, it’s about your knowledge, skills and attitude you’ve developed.  Personality counts for a lot!

Hello Dream Job, Hello New Force.

New Force allows job seekers to showcase the things that matter.  Skills, Aptitude and personality

Employers in a range of industries through-out New Zealand are looking for enthusiasm, professional presentation and a ‘can do attitude’ - none of which can be properly communicated on a piece of paper.   Rather than a few paragraphs of work history on a CV, we help job seeking grads and school leavers to sell themselves via a video profile and skills testing.

Automation and intelligence connects skills to employers

Finding your first job can seem impossible: experience is almost always required, but to get experience, you need a job. That’s all set to change with the introduction of an intelligent service which rapidly qualifies and matches job seeking candidates with companies seeking to employ people. As a result, the trusty old job board, with all its limitations, is set to become a thing of the past.
