2025 Graduates: Advice for Getting Into Work

Graduating in 2025? You’re stepping into a fast-changing job market – but that’s not a bad thing. In fact, one of the smartest ways to build experience, earn money, and grow your skills straight after university or college is through temporary work. 

At The Best Connection, we support thousands of people each year into temporary roles across logistics, industrial, driving, retail and more. Whether you’re looking for short-term income, career direction, or a flexible role while you plan your next steps – temporary work could be exactly what you need. 

Here’s our advice for getting started: 

• Keep an Open Mind:
  You don’t need to have it all figured out straight after graduation. Temporary roles give you the chance to explore different industries and try out work environments you may not have considered before. The flexibility of temporary work means you can start building your experience without locking into a long-term commitment just yet. 

• Improve your CV:
  Even for temporary roles, a strong CV helps you stand out. You don’t need lots of experience – just focus on your transferable skills from education, part-time jobs or volunteering. Timekeeping, teamwork, customer service and communication are all highly valued in temp roles. Keep your CV short, clear, and tailored to the kind of work you want. 

• Be Reliable and Ready:
  Temporary work moves fast – sometimes we even place people in roles the same day they apply. Being responsive, punctual and ready to work makes a great impression and can lead to more opportunities. If you can be flexible with shifts or locations, even better – it gives you more options to choose from. 

• Treat Every Role as a Stepping Stone:
  Every temporary job is a chance to gain experience, earn references, and grow your confidence. Many of our temporary workers go on to secure permanent roles with the same employers. Show your commitment, even in short-term roles – it speaks volumes to future employers. 

• Ask for Feedback and Support:
  We’re here to help you succeed. Whether it’s improving your CV, understanding payslips, or preparing for your first day, don’t be afraid to ask questions. The Best Connection is always ready to offer honest advice and ongoing support.
