The great challenges that newly graduates face have attracted extensive attention of the society, which can be found in TV programs, newspapers, university classes and many aspect of our everyday life. These challenges include independence in life and work, cooperation among colleagues, and further improving abilities to meet the requirements of jobs.
According to a survey, some newly graduates lack of the ability to work independently. They point out the factor that in workplaces, there were no teachers to support or direct their tasks. Then, new graduates should learn to be independent and be willing to start their jobs from the basic level, so that they could understand the industry and self-learn related skills.Meanwhile, newly graduates should learn to cooperate with colleagues. Different from classmates at school, colleagues usually have their own responsibilities in work and personal lives. Thus, newly graduates need to coordinate their own time with others’ plans to maximize the cooperation efficiency. The most important thing for newly graduates is that they should keep learning, even leaving schools. The knowledge learned from school may be different from the requirements in the workplaces. Therefore, newly graduates should keep improving themselves to meet the requirements of jobs.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusions that independence, collaborations, and comprehending new abilities are most important things to do for newly graduates.
