If you are at the stage in your life where you have graduated from a Bachelors Degree and are currently seeking professional employment, then like many people you may be struggling in the current competitive job market. Many new graduates now find themselves in a difficult position because they have the right qualifications but not enough experience. To make matters worse they are often not considered for less-professional roles because they are over-qualified and the potential employer believes they will get bored and leave the company quickly. Being stuck in this position can be difficult and demoralising at times when applying for jobs. If you want to get an interview then you will need a CV that stands out from the rest. It is a good idea to start piecing together a list of what the requirements are for various jobs you are interested in or have applied for. Are there any specific qualifications they need? Does the required experience have to be employment based or is there an opportunity to get that experience elsewhere such as through an internship, voluntary placement or work experience? Does the job you are interested in require in-depth knowledge in certain areas? Often, for professional roles, the best way to improve your knowledge, get appropriate experience, and place yourself ahead of your competitors is by undertaking a Masters Degree. If the professional job you are interested in requires really specific knowledge then an MSc degree is a great way to focus your studies in one particular field, unlike an undergraduate degree, which often has a broad range of modules. A Masters Degree demonstrates to a potential employer that you are passionate about your chosen field and have the organisation and determination required to complete an intensive year of study. There are also fewer qualified applicants with a Masters unless it is an essential requirement of the job you are applying for. When choosing a Masters Degree course you will need to ensure that it is a subject that you are truly interested in. If your dream job requires a certain amount of practical experience then try to look for something more vocational that includes placements and research projects as well as academic study. Sometimes a Masters can be complimented by some on-going voluntary work that will also demonstrate your desire to work in your chosen field. In all, if you are passionate about a subject and want to further your knowledge then a Masters can give you the head start you need to landing that dream job. If you search online you will find lots of detailed course information about undertaking an MSc Degree or postgraduate diploma.
