Uncertainty about job readiness is common. Many graduates doubt their skills and worry about finding a job. Comparing yourself to others can increase anxiety, but job searching often takes time, and early career unemployment is not unusual.

Experience is built over time. You don’t need to have every skill upon graduation. Real-life work experience will reveal areas where you may want or need additional training.

Highlight your skills effectively: if work experience is limited, focus on skills gained during studies, internships, hobbies, and volunteering. Clearly communicate your knowledge, abilities, and aspirations in job applications.

Use career services at your university, connect with professionals on LinkedIn, and seek advice from mentors or career specialists to help clarify your career path and improve your job search strategies.
