The world knows of so many successful names today, but everyone starts from the bottom in the beginning. The competition out there is real, and many job seekers find it difficult to chase their dream job. To help out thejob seekers and young minds of the country, IFFCO has launched an online job and recruitment portal, IFFCOYuva, under the guidance of their CEO and MD, Dr US Awasthi. IFFCOYuva has made it very easy for job seekers to search for their dream jobs in the category of their choice. Dr Awasthi has always been dedicated towards the betterment and development of the agricultural sector in the country and with IFFCOYuva, he extends his commitment to the betterment of the youth as well.

According to Dr US Awasthi, IFFCOYuva is in line with PM Modi’s Skill India and Digital India initiatives. Apart from being a job search portal, IFFCOYuva can also help you boost your employability.

While IFFCOYuva can make your job search much easier, it is not everyone who can find their dream job in the first try. Whether you are beginning your career of you are planning to switch to a field you find more interesting, here are a few tips that can help you make your mark in an industry where you have no prior experience:

• Be Clear with Your Choice

One of the most important tips is to be clear with your choice. Take some time to sit and think about your what you want– ask yourself a few questions like why you like that particular industry, what are the benefits of joining the industry, how good will be your growth, and so on. Introspect to get a better and clear understanding of how you want your career graph to be. In addition to this, also devote some time researching your preferred industry and stay updated with their latest news and so on.

• Ask for Help from Your Network

Asking for help or advice from your network is one of the best ways to get into your preferred industry with no prior experience. You can ask your former colleagues, school or college friends, family members, and so on who are already working in the industry of your choice. With their help, you can make new contacts who can further aid or recommend you. When you are asking for help from your network, make sure to explain properly about the type of job or industry you are looking for.

• Socialise and Meet New People

Other than making online connections on job sites, forums, etc., you need to make new connections in the offline world too. Go toevents that are related to the field of your choice, attend seminars, webinars, and so on, where not only will you meet people from the field but you will also get to learn a lot more about the same. Like if you are interested in the automobile industry and want to start a career in the same, you can attend the Auto Expo event. Similarly, if you are into fashion, you can attend fashion shows; if you want to make a career in the field of literature, you can attend book fairs, and so on.

Try to learn new things about the industry you are interested in, brush up your old skills, keep an eye openfor opportunities on IFFCOYuva, and so on. Even if you don’t get through the interview the first time, you will still gain preciousexperience and learn from yourmistakes. Starting new in an industry without prior experience can be a little challenging but you will get to where you want to beeventually, as long as you are ready to work hard and persevere.
