Some application methods are more traditional (jobs advertised on the Internet and in newspapers, at career events, job agencies). In these cases, you are likely to be competing with several other applicants. There are, however, creative ways of opening up new channels and contacts, and expanding your own profile at the same time. Some graduates manage to build a connection to a potential employer by visiting companies, identifying with a certain product, or through voluntary work. this is generally a time-consuming process that requires persistence and creativity. You will often need to step out of your comfort zone and actively approach a potential employer yourself. However, this method can bring substantial rewards as it enables you to stand out from the mass of other candidates. 

As a rule, it is worth following several paths at the same time and being courageous. Many jobs are not publicly advertised and it is only through creative searching and networking that you will gain access to the hidden labor market. 

Planning your career and finding a job requires a good deal of energy and time. Plus, most jobs cannot be started immediately. Often, possibilities arise purely by chance - which means that you have to be ready.
