How should a fresher find jobs?
I am getting an increasing number of emails from freshers who are looking to find jobs on OneMint, and since that is obviously not possible – I am going to write about the steps a fresher should take to find jobs.
I know that this is not relevant for most of our community members here, but if you have some advice for freshers, please leave a comment below.
Are there enough jobs for freshers?
I think this is the question that looms large for all freshers who are not placed from the campus. If you don’t get placed right out of campus, then things are going to be a bit harder for you, but that doesn’t mean it is the end of the world. I think back to my own placement days and think of all the needless drama that unfolded in those few days.
The important thing to remember is that it is only a matter of time that you get a job. It can be a bit depressing at times, but keep your chin high and keep looking. Though things can may look gloomy now, in a career that will span for tens of years – a few months here and there won’t matter much.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s look at what you should do in order to find a job.
What is the first thing a fresher should do to find a job?
The first thing is to make a resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV) for yourself. You will need a resume to approach people who are in a position to give you a job. This has to be the first thing you do. There are several sample fresher resumes online, and you can model your own on any of these.
There is no point in contacting recruiters if you can’t leave your resume with them. If you don’t have one, then write one now.
Contact all friends and relatives
Finding your first job can be intimidating, and you want all the help you can get. Place calls to all your friends and relatives who could help you out. Send them your resumes and ask for help.
If you know people who are working for big companies, send your resume and ask them to upload it on their company job portal, and keep their eye open for walk – in interviews, and other company emails about jobs that match your educational background.
Get a decent email id
It is time to get a real email id now. You will need to email several recruiters, companies, friends and such, and you don’t want your potential recruiter to see that you thought the word freak would look cool as part of your email address.
Upload your resume on several job portals
Sending emails to random site owners will not help freshers (or anyone for that matter) in landing a job much, but creating an account on a job portal can go very far.
There are several popular sites that help you find jobs in India, and you should create an account in all of those. Here are some popular Indian job sites.
NCR Job Portal: This is a newer website, whose founder reached out to me.
Apply jobs through these portals
Once you create the account, the next step is to search for jobs related to your educational background. Put in a few keyword variations and apply for the jobs that appear in the results. Persevere at this, keep applying for jobs and actively check your email for replies. When you get a reply, respond promptly and don’t forget to attach your resumes and answer all the questions they ask in their email.
Keep an eye out for walk in interviews
Companies conduct walk in interviews for freshers, and although these can get crowded, it is a good place to hunt for jobs and increases your employment chances.
Conclusion
It can get a little daunting to finish your education and find yourself without a job, but remember that this situation is only temporary, and eventually you will find something which will be a good stepping stone for your career. Follow these tips, and all the best!

Even though it takes time to get jobs in IT as a fresher.My suggestion to IT freshers to go for a course like .net,java or mainframe after completing the last semester exams.This will really help to get good training in one technology,meet lot of programmers(juniors and seniors),prepare for interview.I also suggest to study daily until u get the job.Last thing which i would like to mention is Not to wait for companies to give you training on technologies,companies always prefer who knows the subject already.Even though u dont get job from college placement,i would say u can get job in 6 months if you are proactive and do some course.Please always begin with an end in mind.
I hope Manshu will agree.
Good Luck in your job search and Have a Good Day.
Anuroop
I agree with you completely Anuroop, it makes sense to study while you have time on your hands, and take the initiative and get trained as well. Getting trained on a specific technology will help freshers get an edge over other guys who don’t undergo that kind of training.
Thanks for the great comment!

Great and very useful article for fresher graduates!
While Looking for that first job can be frustrating and in some cases, stressful. so I think, these job search tips should set the stage for a more purposeful job hunting experience for fresher graduates. Thanks a lot for sharing these valuable tips!
All those job portals mentioned except the last, most of the job offers are fake. Several phone call I receive, they simply say that our resume is being shortlisted and then ask for registration money that to be paid online to some unknown account… Just tired of this phone calls everyday. I guess the fresher’s who are not placed are so damn frustrated that they even get ready to pay a huge sum but I guess paying beforehand and that also to someone unknown is not at all a way to get a job. Whenever my phone rings and I hear someone saying that my resume is being shortlisted, I just remember the Akshay Kumar’s movie ,” special 26″.
