Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited 5 years before securing a good job. Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50. While another became a CEO at 50, and lived to 90 years. Someone is still single, while someone from his school group has become grandfather. Obama retired at 55 & Trump started at 70. Everyone in this world works based on their time zone. People around you might seem ahead of you & some might seem to be behind you. But everyone is running their own race, in their own time. Do not envy them. They are in their time zone, and you are in yours. So, relax. You're not late. You're not early. You are very much on time.
Several research studies & surveys have shown that following are the benefits of hiring a fresher in your team:
-
New Perspective- Injecting new ideas and energy into current projects and initiatives, graduates increase the diversity within an organization’s work team.
-
Fast learners- Graduates have a lot more abilities when it comes to acquiring work-related know-how. They are masters of continuous enrichment through lessons and learning experiences as they are willing to work hard to prove themselves and do not fear to ask questions or to look for answers beyond the obvious.
-
Abreast with technology- The young graduates are technology enthusiasts and can turnaround the way a traditionally operated organisation works. There's no denying that young people are far more intrigued by technology than their experienced counterparts.
-
Open to critical feedback- Freshers know that they have a lot to learn and improvise their skills. Hence, they are more open to critical feedback and eager to learn and adapt.
-
Sustained business growth- Millennials are punctual, motivated, committed, and driven. The energy, dynamism, and vibrancy that they add to an organization is fuelled by entrepreneurial skills that are oriented towards expanding business horizons. A Stanford University survey also found that GenY grads are more independent-minded and value creative freedom.
Still, a lot of top companies expect the young graduates (around 21 years old) to have work experience even for the "Entry Level Jobs".
