SGPsychStud: The Formula and Tips for Building Your Value

Some of you may be thinking this?

"What value do I have when I am only a fresh graduate?"

Everyone has some value. The question is from whose perception are we looking.

The Employers' or Yours?

Before we move on, I would like to ask you to read the below posts:

• Staying Competitive in the Psychology Job Market as a New Graduate
• Career Planning for a Psychological Career (Part 1)
• Using the "COW" in Building Your Career

So what is your value?

During interviews, employers may ask this same question from another angle, with questions like:

• Why should I employ you?
• What can you or will you contribute to the company?
• Have you done anything previously that may be beneficial to the company or this position?

So similarly you should ask yourself some questions:

• What am I interested and passionate about that is part of a job position?
• What are my strengths?
• What skills do I have?
• What can I do that will enhance my knowledge and experience about the positions or industry? 

Ultimately...

So what are some suggestions that you can do?  Actually I have already previously written about them, and here they are!

• Career Planning for a Psychological Career (Part 3)
• 5 Things Students can do during the Holidays
• Having a Mentor for Your Psychological Journey
