Governmental institution and jobs


Hello again  to my blog!

As you know this blog is dedicated to linguistics and how it works in Qatar. But this blog also look at the life that every student faces after graduation. And in this post I will talk about the governmental organizations in Qatar and how do they help the recent graduates to get jobs, also what students should do after graduation.

  In Qatar and like any other country there are governmental institutions that always help members in the society to have an effective role for the development of it. And students are no exception, especially high school and university students. Governmental institutions offer workshops and volunteering experiences for high school students as well as university students and graduates. For example, Hamad Medical Corporation always give countless internships and workshops for recent medicine students graduates, and these internships and workshops are not only for students who graduated from Qatari universities, but any medicine university graduate. Moreover, all of these courses are designed to give a full experience to graduates, which what they need while applying for a job. Other examples of organizations that offer internships, workshops and volunteering programs are the Museum of Islamic Arts and the Ministry of Municipality and Environment.

 Therefore, the governmental organizations in Qatar do facilitate the process for recent graduates to get jobs by giving them chances to gain experiences in different fields.

  However, even though governmental institutions facilitate for graduates the process to get jobs, graduates still face problems that sometimes the institutions fail to help. Companies and other organizations in Qatar ,when they look for a candidate to fill the job position, they look at work experience the most. And some graduates do not have enough work experience whether it is related to the job they are applying to or not, because the concept of 'part-time jobs' is not widely spread across the country. It is true that there are volunteering programs offered for students but sometimes the student does not get the whole experience he or she desires. That is why I think that governmental institutions could offer part-time jobs across the country to give the work experience that every student and graduate desires. To add to the point, part-time jobs do not only give work experience to graduates but also teach them other lessons, like appreciating the money and being independent.

 But, even if not getting the full work experience chance is always available, university graduates still could do things to help them with their life after university. And I have some tips or steps that could help me as a student graduating from university soon, and could help other graduates too:

 1) Get ready for you master's degree

     Since we live in a country that always seeks for the best people to work in its organizations, there is no surprise that there is a bigger demand for candidates with masters degrees. That is why I suggest you to continue studying for your master's degree after you finish your undergraduate studies because you will have a bigger chance to get a job.

2) Work on your work experience

  This is something that you should work on when you are at university. Universities at Qatar offer part-time jobs for their students and you can get one that you think that it is useful for you. Also, I mentioned above that Qatar's governmental organizations offer workshops, internships and volunteering programs that you can apply for to get some experience about the work life ahead of you.

3) Work on your communication skills

  Communication skills are important for the career life that is ahead of you, that is why you need to work on them. I know that university life helped you develop them but you need to be a good communicator in speaking and writing, which is good. However, for the work life you need to raise the bar a bit, and I suggest doing some workshops to enhance them.
