Reflection:
“When I graduated years back,I thought the hard part was over.
After all those sleepless nights, assignments, and final exams, I was sure the degree in hand would immediately open doors. But then reality hit—finding the right job wasn’t just about my qualifications; it was about navigating a whole new world of applications, interviews, and rejections.
I remember the confusion, the endless tweaking of my resume, the self-doubt creeping in as I wondered if I had missed something. No one had prepared me for the fact that the job search is a journey in itself, one that requires more than just skills—it demands strategy, confidence, and a strong sense of direction.
But here’s what I learned: those moments of uncertainty were crucial. They pushed me to dig deeper, reflect on what I really wanted, and take control of my career in ways I hadn’t imagined. It wasn’t about blindly applying to every job I came across; it was about finding clarity in the chaos, positioning myself confidently, and ultimately standing out.
To every recent graduate out there, if you’re feeling lost or unsure of your next steps, trust me, you’re not alone. You’re on the brink of something great—you just need the right tools and mindset to get there.”, Mercie narrated.
