As a finalist student awaiting my graduation in December in Human Resource Management, I’ve been actively applying for internships, entry-level roles, and HR assistant opportunities. However, I’ve noticed that many applications go unanswered, and it's difficult to secure even a training opportunity or basic exposure.
This has raised a few questions that I hope fellow HR professionals and recruiters can help shed light on kindly,
Why is it increasingly challenging for fresh graduates to secure HR internships or entry-level roles or I am the problem?
What are some common reasons applicants may not receive feedback, even after meeting the listed qualifications?
What can young professionals do differently to stand out or align better with entry-level HR expectations?
I'd greatly appreciate your insights on these and hope to gain a better way on how to apply because I really need to gain more practical exposure in all areas of HR.
