Job Search Tips for New Graduates





Fresh out of university and looking for your dream job? Finding a job you love can be tough in today's market. We at Inforce Life hire many graduates and thought we would give those applying to Inforce Life some tips!

1. Network. Networking is key to finding a job. When we look at prospective employees, we hire through traditional interviews and applications, but also through networks. It is important to meet different people and talk to them to see about job opportunities that are available.

2. Do you fit? When applying for a company, ask yourself, do you see yourself as a good fit? Can you imagine yourself working in the environment and doing the daily tasks? Do you share the same goals as the company and are you able to further them? Often times, young people apply for jobs they know are not a good fit for them - but we are often looking for candidates who can fit with our environment and work culture. Speak with professionals in the field so you get a better understanding of whether this job is right for you.

3. Show your passion. Your interviewer cannot know what you do not say. If there is something that was not covered in the interview, but may be useful for the interviewer to know, mention it to them. For instance, if you are attending a particular conference or training that is relevant to an insurance adviser, tell us during the interview!

4. Ask us about learning opportunities. We love to see individuals who are keen to learn and grow with us. We have lots of training to help ensure the success of our insurance advisers, ask us about these opportunities during the interview.

5. Do your homework. When you meet with us, we like to know that you know about us. Do some research about us before you come to the interview so that we know you’re serious and interested in a career with us. Find out what an insurance advisor does, and ask us any questions about the job.
