THE EMPLOYABILITY FACTOR 
In a global and competitive jobs market ensuring you maximise you employability is key. Employers are looking for a vast range of experience and skills. Here are some tips on how to build your appeal to graduate employers globally. 

  • Think creatively and try new activities that capture your interests, test your aptitude for problem solving and engage with people from different cultures and backgrounds; 
  • Join up to societies that will place you out of your comfort zone. This could develop skills and strengths you didn't know you had and build a useful and fresh network;
  • Don't be afraid to gain some work experience. This will provide skills like communication and time management that you can transfer to any job and discuss in potential interviews;
  • Think about volunteering your time to support a good cause or vision. This will support someone else whilst gaining you exposure to a different environment;
  • Support or contribute to publications where you are able to communicate your point of view and positively influence others in leadership; 
  • Read Prime Dispute's e-Industry, business section of the news paper. This will increase your knowledge and scope of current affairs;

  • Join LinkedIn groups which are industry focused and engage as much as possible;
  • Stay updated about global business news by reading business publications, e-industry newsletters, listening to the BBC news and staying up to date using social media;
  • Develop your own opinion about current affairs and don't be afraid to ask senior industry leaders questions;
  • Pick two organisations that you are interested in and follow their progress over the year. Start to think about the business challenges the employer faces. A good way to achieve this is to read papers (maybe the  Financial Times), choose two companies from the FTSE 100 and follow their progress over a year or if you prefer look at SMEs;
  • Research the wider issues that affect the industry you want to go into, and does the organisation's vision, mission, values and ethical practices connect with yours;
  • Connect with businesses in your local area and see if they are willing for you to attend meetings or conferences;
  • Industry want individuals who understand the basic in how to avoid and manage disputes in business.  Join as a Trainee member or as an APD member and start the learning journey.
