Interest "Most spend 80% of their time looking for jobs and sending their resume and the remaining 20% to Make contacts What works is just the opposite, "says Carolyn Magnani, career counselor
At the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
The formula that Magnani proposes is to identify through platforms like Linkedin to employees of the companies that
Interest and try to establish communication with them, not only to know details of the selection processes, but also to
To share interesting content. "It's not about addressing the CEO, but profiles similar to the recent graduate,
With similar age. If you contact 10, at least two will respond, "says Magnani, who also advises students by
Skype through the US company Ivy Educational Services. Networking should be understood almost as a job
Journal, in which the candidate has to transfer his personal brand with information and recommendations on the Web, and
Also with face-to-face meetings in different events related to their specialty
It does not have to be embarrassing to say openly that they are looking for work. Contrary to what they think, the more
People know better, they will make sure that at some point someone recommends them, "adds Magnani. The
Recommendations are now essential to access a saturated labor market of graduates, explains in a post

speech". Presenting a good resume, writing letters of motivation or knowing how to reply to an email are some of the

self esteem.
In 2014, a California State University survey of 482 students showed that the higher the
Overprotection of parents, the less able the graduates feel when making decisions. One of the points
Underlined by the research team was the poor adaptation of these young people to the work environment. To avoid this type
Of situations, the Junior Achievement Foundation, founded in 1919 in the United States and based in Spain since 2001,
Organizes workshops in which work scenarios are simulated. "They are very disconnected from the reality of the world of work.
The university education leaves that plot aside ", points out Laura González, psychopedagogue of the foundation, which has already
