Nov. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Securing a graduate job is a competitive and challenging task. Here are 5 helpful steps that may just help you become more attractive to Graduate Employers!.

1. Improve your presentation technique - In surveys of people’s greatest fears, ‘fear of public speaking’ regularly makes an entrance in second place behind ‘fear of death’.

2. Start an online business - The web has made it very easy to start a small business for less than 25 pounds investment and an afternoon’s time. If your CV/Resume is light in the work experience area, this can really help demonstrate that you have the potential to work in a commercial operation.

3. Polish up your interpersonal skills - Dale Carnegie’s classic book, How to Win Friends and Influence People has sold over 20 million copies to date and has received praise from many distinguished individuals. Reading and practicing the interpersonal techniques that Carnegie describes can really help you improve your interview technique.

4. Learn another language - Multinational employers are increasingly looking for employees with some command of a second language. Learning the basics of a language such as Portuguese, Spanish or German can really increase your employability factor to these companies.

5. Learn about the prospective industry you want to work in - Yes, this is an obvious one but its importance cannot be understated. If you can ‘talk the talk’, employers will believe you will be able to ‘walk the walk’.
