Fresh Graduates Demand Higher Salary with No Experience? Here's The Solution

There are so many articles saying that fresh graduates are too demanding when it comes to salary and that they don't have relevant experience. As it is becoming more difficult for graduates to find work these days, we need a solution that can help both employers and fresh graduates. 

What is the solution?

An Internship!

But how can an internship solve this problem? Look no further, here are the reasons how an internship can help employers to hire fresh graduates!

1. Fresh graduates, fresh ideas

Employers will always need a helping hand and new ideas to bring their business further. Yes, employers tend to hire experienced workers because they have the background and expertise to carry out their tasks. But you cannot get new ideas and perspectives from experienced workers since they are too used to their own ways.

Fresh graduates are the exact opposite, they lack the experience but they are full of ideas and more open to different perspectives. What employers need these fresh graduates to do, is to let them figure out how to turn these new ideas into reality.

What better way to do this than an internship? After all, an internship is a way for students to prove how they can use what they've learned and apply it to real-life situations.  

2. High salary? First, let them prove their worth

It's understandable why employers are hesitant to offer a high salary to fresh graduates. They are taking a big risk to spend so much of their budget on someone they cannot evaluate other than an interview. 

Not all fresh graduates graduated with an internship under their belt. So, there is no way for them to know their worth without relevant experience, aside from their qualifications.

An internship can bridge this gap. Through an internship, employers can facilitate and evaluate a fresh graduate's worth. You can see how much they contribute to your business, and what they can do to improve it.

If they have contributed a lot during their internship, imagine what they can do if they're a full-time employee!

3. Irrelevant field? What matters is interest (and motivation)!

Another reason why employers find fresh graduates not suitable is that they often come from different backgrounds. These backgrounds are not relevant to the job sector they're applying for. Not only do they not have the experience, but they also learned different things.

It's a tough market out there, sometimes these fresh graduates had to study what they do not like because they're just fulfilling the market's needs. They did not pursue what they're actually interested in. For example, many fresh graduates pursued Masters of Business Administration (MBA) because they think it will increase their chances of getting hired. 

Let's say a fresh graduate applied for a job that is not relevant to their field. First, we have to figure out how interested they are in the job. If you think that they have what it takes to fill that position (given that they are willing to learn & motivated), then there is no harm in hiring them as an intern. 

Through an internship, you can find out how fast they can learn and if you're lucky, they will find a way to use what they have learned and apply it to their job!

An internship is a perfect solution for employers to hire fresh graduates without taking big risks, and it's a perfect solution for fresh graduates to earn valuable working experience! Plus, an internship opportunity can turn into full-time employment if the employer finds the intern a great addition to their company.
