I\u2019m discovering just how tricky it is to bag a job after getting a degree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Perth College \u2013 A part of the University of The Highlands & Islands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve recently completed a BSc Computing course at @PerthCollegeUHI<\/a> and I\u2019m now starting the long process of applying for jobs. The only problem is though, despite living in Edinburgh, I am actually struggling to find jobs in Web Development at my level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every job I seem to look at tells me \u2018one to two years commercial experience\u2019 <\/strong>(Yeah it would help if I could find a job to get that)or \u2018history of developing applications and websites\u2019<\/strong> sometimes even \u2018You should have knowledge in PHP <\/strong>(Tick), JavaScript <\/strong>(Tick), JQuery (<\/strong>Tick), SQL <\/strong>(Tick) and C# <\/strong>(Wait, what!?)\u2019\u200a\u2014\u200aI never studied C# in College, we focused on Java. Some jobs are perfect right up until one of those points appears and which stage you go scream, go onto the next job listing and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
It\u2019s like trying to play Scrabble. You can have good a good move but can\u2019t get it to fit the board.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not that college hasn\u2019t set me up for my job\u200a\u2014\u200aI\u2019m developing and maintaining websites on an almost daily basis but for free. Out of probably over 100 jobs I\u2019ve seen so far I\u2019ve applied for 5 and so far my success rate is 0\u200a\u2014\u200aI\u2019ve not heard back from a single one, good or bad. It\u2019s because of these requirements that I am struggling to find suitable jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find one that sounds right \u2018Graduate Web Developer\u2019, you need knowledge of PHP, Javascript, SQL and C#. Right next one then \u2018PHP Developer\u2019, you need knowledge of PHP, Javascript, SQL etc and a minimum of two years experience\u2026 F\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This<\/a> is why so many graduates end up working in coffee shops and retail, because we\u2019re struggling to find jobs. In April 2016 data<\/a> revealed that;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201calmost one in three, 31%, of all graduates are not doing graduate\u200a\u2014\u200aor high-skilled\u200a\u2014\u200ajobs\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This lack of graduates getting into high-skilled jobs that they have studied for three, four or maybe five years to get, is dubbed as the skills gap. A lot of graduates feel like employers expectations are unreachable for the level of skill they actually have. In my case I\u2019m expected to have knowledge of C# or Photoshop for a graduate position, but I\u2019d attribute those skills to a mid-level job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra: When did a degree stop being enough to get a graduate job?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Everyone who has a degree has earned it\u200a\u2014\u200aWe\u2019ve worked hard for three years or more to hopefully get a job doing what we really enjoy and we can do it well for having nearly no real world experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This issue has been around for years and will continue to exist until recruiters realise that the Skills Gap does exist, despite some publications saying it doesn\u2019t. Make more of the requirements beneficial requirements and you\u2019ll find your applicant rate will go up. I don\u2019t feel like applying for a job that I have all but one of the skills for because it\u2019ll waste the recruiters time or end me up in a job I can\u2019t do and quit or get fired from.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
