This is the main reason why many students struggle to get a job right after graduation:
After finishing university, many students choose to take a long break, go on vacations, or accept random jobs just to say theyโre employed.
But hereโs the problem: the more time that passes after graduation without getting a job in your field, the bigger the gap in your CV becomes.
And that gap is exactly what makes it harder later to convince employers to give you a chance โ because theyโll start asking for work experience in the field.
โธป
What you should do instead:
โ
Start working on your CV while youโre still in university โ even if you donโt have work experience, you can include projects, internships, volunteering, and relevant courses.
โ
Apply for entry-level or junior positions during your final months at university or immediately after graduation.
โ
Employers know youโre a recent graduate โ they donโt expect years of experience, but they do look for motivation, potential, and proof that youโve learned something valuable during your studies.
โ
If you can land an internship or traineeship before finishing university, even better โ it will boost your chances.

The key takeaway:
๐ The more time you let pass after graduation without applying in your field, the harder it becomes later.
๐ The best time to apply is during your final year of university or immediately after finishing.
๐ Donโt be discouraged by job ads asking for โexperienceโ โ for junior roles, employers understand youโre just starting out.
