In terms of attributes that affect the chances of a fresh graduate to be hired, employers usually look at attitude. Aside from that, employers also look for actual experience and the relevance of their field of study for the position they are applying for. Proximity of residence and social work and volunteer experience can also affect a fresh graduate’s chance of getting hired. Most of all, employers value a fresh graduate’s willingness to learn, to go beyond the call of duty, and personal grooming.
However, fresh graduate employees still need to work on their sense of initiative, problem solving abilities, and leadership potential.
