EP08: Post-graduation - Why is transitioning into the professional world often stressful?
In today’s episode of the WHY in your 20s, we delve into the common challenges and experiences faced by postgraduates and explore the complexities of this transitional period. Completing a degree is often seen as a significant achievement, marking the end of a chapter and the beginning of another. However, the transition has its own challenges. As postgraduates embark on the job-hunting process, they encounter a whole new set of stressors and uncertainties. From the relentless search for employment opportunities to self-doubt that can arise.
What are our experiences as postgraduates?
What were our experiences in the ambivalence between job hunting and further studies?
What is job search fatigue?
What were some of the self-doubts or unhelpful beliefs we encountered?
How do we manage post-graduation stress?
So, if you are a postgraduate feeling the weight of searching for a job on your shoulders or someone preparing for this phase in the near future, hopefully, this episode strikes a chord with you, reminding you that you are not alone in your experiences.
