For new graduates straight out of university, it's become difficult to find the right job. Companies aren't as responsive as they used to be and they often file your CV into a pile without a second glance. Sometimes, your CV and application materials don't even make it into the hiring manager's inbox. Finding a job is a frustrating process that's often hindered by not knowing the right application techniques or not knowing the right people within an industry.

If you're a new graduate encountering these issues, you might want to consider working with a recruitment agency. A lot of people think of recruitment agencies as a broader job board, but recruitment agencies are a useful tool that will not only help you find a job, but that will help you find the right job.

Recruiters are connected to people within various industries and can often obtain an interview for a position that might not have been posted on an external site. They're connected to industries in ways that will benefit new graduates looking to get their foot in the door of a larger company.

Of course, the recruiter can't obtain an interview for you with some crucial information.

First, new graduates need to have a stellar CV and cover letter. Most recruitment agencies will provide materials explaining how to improve your CV and you should use these to your advantage. Bolster your CV to make your skills and experiences stand out. This will help the recruiter to match you to a potential job and it will impress a hiring manager.

Second, practice your interview skills. Your interview with a recruiter is a precursor to an interview with a hiring manager. Sloppy, impersonal interview skills won't impress anyone. A recruiter won't be able to recommend you to an employer if you don't participate in the interview.

Third, talk with your recruiting agency. Let them know what type of job you're looking for and the industries that interest you. You want to let them know your career goals. This will help a recruiter better match you with a company.

Finally, when a recruiter does set up an interview with a company, it's important to research the company. Ask your recruiter for any tips about the interview process or the job requirements. The more you know about the company and the job, the better prepared you'll be during the interview. The more prepared you are, the better chance you have of impressing the hiring manager.

It's important to get placed in the right graduate job because you want to start your career off on the right path. By working with a recruitment agency, new graduates can find the best way to apply for jobs. Their skills will be matched up with the business goals and needs of a company. Recruiters strive to place new graduates in companies where they'll flourish. As a new graduate, you need to go out of your way to make yourself appear impressive, intelligent, and worthy of that job. Listening to a recruiter will provide you with the first steps to get that dream job.
