The transition from university into the world of work can be daunting. Navigating life in your early twenties is tricky as it is. Throw a global pandemic in there and the shape of your future may have shifted in ways you\u2019d have never imagined. But there is hope…If you\u2019re currently studying, or have just graduated from uni and are feeling unsure as to what lies ahead, this post is for you! We\u2019re highlighting the happy endings that come after the graduation cap comes off, and have reached out to your fellow tutors for some uplifting advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealing with change <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

2020 was a whirlwind of a year for us all to say the least. Unsurprisingly, the uncertainty of the pandemic led to a decline in a number of industries including graduate recruitment. There\u2019s no denying that the past 18 months have been a tough time for a lot of you, but we like to look at learnings here at MyTutor HQ and you\u2019ve probably picked up some extremely invaluable skills that will actually help you get a job, and you might not even know it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent recruitment study<\/a>, “employers ranked resilience<\/strong> and emotional intelligence<\/strong> within the top five skills that they thought would become more important over the next five years, with self-awareness and problem solving falling within the top ten” (Job hunting in 2021: 10 things that graduates need to know<\/em><\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst 2021 has also brought some challenges along the way, we\u2019re gradually adapting to a new normal – and the future’s looking brighter as graduates start to look at what options there are in the post-university world, as things open up again. At any given time, employers are looking for candidates who can show adaptability, flexibility, and resilience. You\u2019ve made it this far, so I think it\u2019s fair to say that you have the ability to cope with uncertainty and change. When it comes to the world of work, no day is the same, so all these skills you\u2019ve already developed will work in your favour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s enough from us – now let\u2019s hand over to some of our tutors to share what they\u2019ve learned along this unexpected journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
