When you are looking for new candidates fresh out of college, be sure to set exact expectations and goals to the job seeker. That new hire may not even last more than three months. An entry level position can require a bit more mundane administrative tasks and it may discourage an individual from feeling accomplished. Nicholas Aretakis, author of "No More Ramen", provides career coaching for 20 somethings who might need some guidance after graduation. "Big companies used to offer formal management training programs and, while some still do, there are fewer of those now," says Nicholas Aretakis. So even if the workload bores you to death, Aretakis says it's about bringing inspiration and excellence to your work. This can allow room for internal growth, instead of hopping to the next available job outside of the company. So what if others who are soon to enter the workplace aren't fortunate enough to receive Aretakis' tips? Chances are the individual may not feel it necessary to stay in the current position and move elsewhere in short notice. Not only can this reflect poorly on his resume, but it may show lack of dedication and work ethic to the next employer. It's good for hiring managers to set the standards from the beginning, emphasizing work related duties and explain how it will reflect the long term growth of the individual. Job seekers should also envision the overall career goal even if it may not bring immediate satisfaction. Take it from me, I've definitely made some of these mistakes when searching for jobs. Naive and inexperienced in the workforce, I think the book would have have taught me a thing or two.
