Have you ever heard a graduate say to you that they don’t want to get noticed by an employer? That’s right, never.
If they searching for work, then every graduate will want to get noticed by a prospective employer. They want to be heard and known. They want to stand out in an ultra-competitive world where there are so few jobs but so many graduates applying.

There are many reasons why some graduates don’t get noticed by a prospective employer. However, I have 5 main reasons that I think may be the case:
1. The graduate’s CV and cover letter do not properly market and promote their full range of skills and experience as well as it should.
2. The graduate’s interview skills are minimal. They don’t know how to respond well to questions asked of them in an interview.
3. The graduate does not bother to address the key selection criteria if that is asked as part of their application for a gradate role.
4. The graduate is not applying for enough graduate roles and may even be applying for roles that are too high level.
5. The industry/sector that the graduate is trying to apply for a role in is small and there may be only so many jobs available with many candidates applying for work.
