Work immediately after graduation..?

After passing my boards, I applied for work and thank goodness I got the job immediately. After saving some amount I treated my mother for a trip outside the country. Whatever you want to do as long as you are happy an it is for self improvement go for it. . Grab every opportunity that comes. And enjoy life

i actually took a route to my career that is quite unusual from how my batchmates wanted it to be. when i was on my third year in college, my classes were all scheduled at night. so i decided to work in the morning so i won't get bored and at the same time start building my career earlier than everybody else.i was thinking everybody who recently graduated would have the same details in their resume except for some who had been the batch's cream of the crop. unfortunately i wasn't one of the smarties then. so i wanted mine to stand out. by the time i graduated, i already was able to work full time for entry level positions in two companies. so while others are just starting with their careers, i was already poised to take on junior exec posts. employers often look at applicants who are either excellent academically or are already experienced with the type of job they are filling for. even if working and studying at the same time deprived me off my social life, i never regret having done that early because it has brought me to where i am today.

hi there! if it were me, i would have spend more time doing stuffs i wanted to do. i'll have a little vacation before working. because i believe when you start working you'll never get the privilege of vacation. because it's a more serious thing now. and besides that will be your gift to yourself after so many years of non-stop studying. but you can still look for job while spending your vacation too. so whenever you find one i think you had enough of your vacation. happy mylotting! congrats on your graduation! and good luck your job hunt! have fun!

Hi, After my graduation from my university, I started to look for a job, I really wanted to earn money for myself.but it take time to get a good job and with so many graduates around, the competition is tough. I took more than 4 months to get my first job and I was glad that my first pay is not bad. Some people tend to get themselves relax first after graduation,for me, I still can relax while searching for the job that I want. But then I just don't want to waste so much time on relaxing as everyday I need money to survive.

I have already started working even before I went to my college. I worked for 2 years after high school until I finally knew and sure what I wanted to do and to be. Then 2 years after I pursued my study to college for hospitality and still working on a part-time basis to get extra money. Then after I graduated from my college, I continued working with the hotel where I have worked at as a part time before to permanent. Then 2 years after with the hotel and I saved enough money for vacation I took a flight to different country for big vacation haha!

I'm also finally taking the break I haven't experiences since first semester in college. lol. I've been lazing around the house. I've applied for a couple of jobs not related to nursing jobs and joined a seminar. I also want to relax a little before I go serious, well, i'm planning to start being serious next year. Hopefully I'd get a job this month too, to save up for december hehe... ^_^

Taking the seminars is a good move, but if you have spent time getting this degree, it is probably time that you start using your skills and building a work history in your field. If you do not have to work full time then just look for a part time position and continue with some extended learning.

i did.. compared to my other colleagues. i went home and stayed there for like a week and started working after that. i landed on a job situated out of town so it was kind of hard for me cause i've never been away with my family this far at first. but it's cool now. i sometimes hope that i took time bumming around my parent's house and enjoy doing nothing before and after i wake up. cause i hardly can find time to relax sincei started working. my off from work is not enough.

It depends on your financial situation. If I was you I would take some time off and do some travelling then return home and get stuck into finding a job. If your finances do not allow that then I suggest obtaining any kind of work and saving up for a well-deserved holiday after all that studying. Good on you for working so hard.

Better to get a jobs immediately if there is an opportunity. Because as of this days people are increasingly looking for jobs and competition is so huge... Congratulations my friend for passing the board exam...If I were you I prefer to work immediately if the opportunity is knocking your door...because it's not only jobs but the experience you get and the number of years... The earlier the better...

It is more like the value of the individual. For me, I graduated when the economy is not good. My family is in a rather bad condition and I don't have much choices but hunting for job right away. But then, I believe to spend some time before getting a job on something we really like such as going on long trips. The truth is that once we are in the job market, it is not that easy to have such a chance of holidays up to months.

i started working in a hospital as a job order right after i passed the nursing board exam. but i gave it up bcos of DOLE nars project then after the 6mos contract that ended last april, i really wanted to work back in the hospital but i wasnt able to. im still waiting cos they said its going to resume nextmonth which im really hopin for. i still need more experience to be able to work abroad. Unemployment rate of nurses is a major concern now due to booming nursing population. Weve become a factory of nurses

I graduated in 2005 for my Bachelor degree in Sociology. I did work as a Group Home Counselor after graduation but did not like it. I kept working but in other fields like marketing, administrative, etc. The only breaks I got was between jobs. I wish I would have took a little bit of more time to smell the flowers.

Well if i get a really good job i will work definitely. But there is also an option of completing or pursuing masters degree after your bachelors degree.

Its expected by parents that their children at least will find a job after graduation, that happens to me or just simply a necessity to help the family. I immediately find job when I graduated not because my parent pushes me to do so, but I have a younger sibling that I need to help as well. And besides its really a shame to ask my parents my personal needs as well, but even I'm still studying I do find jobs. Leisure on the contrary are done in between, we hang out with friends one weekends where most of us had a free time.

I graduated this year, february, and I'm still doing the stuff I want to do XD In between I did look for jobs, attended seminars, had a small business, tried online jobs etc. but I pretty much stayed unemployed the entire time. When I graduated, I told myself that I gotta enjoy life to the fullest and do the things I want before getting a job, cause I've been studying all my life and I need a break, and when I do start working, I'll be working for the rest of my life and there will be no breaks -_-

I am under the same field as you are. I am also a registered nurse. When I graduated last year, I went straight to review. So I got really tired after the board exam because it was all work and no play stuff. I took vacation after the board exam. I didnt find work 3 months after the results were released. Then when summer came, I applied for a volunteer work at a local hospital. It is really tiring to went on duty without any salary. But I always think of it as an experience. So now, I am done with my volunteer work. And taking a vacation again, I am going to look for a job after this month.

I don't think I'd want to start right away, but I think I'd like a job lined up after I graduate for security reasons. I would probably like to travel after graduation and just relax and move to a more stable place. I'm worried about not having any money to do this all though.

after i graduated it took me 2 years to have a job..but i don't regret it since it was planned..it was for myself..i did a lot of stuff that i never did before.because i know after this it will never be the same again,,,,it was so nice,no stress no worries nothing that would limit me!i did have fun and it was a well needed break,,i just wish ill have that break forever...

Yeah well earning money is a good thing it makes people independent and responsible but earning money requires hard work so just be patient and try your best to earn.. :)
