10 things nobody tells fresh graduates about the job market:

1. Your degree does not guarantee a job, it gives you access to the queue

2. 80% of jobs are filled through connections, not portals

3. Your GPA stops mattering after your first role

4. Internships carry more weight than certifications in most industries

5. Soft skills outweigh technical skills in interviews

6. Most companies use ATS software, your fancy CV template breaks it

7. Following up after an application is not desperate, it is strategic

8. LinkedIn is a search engine, not a photo album

9. Salary negotiation is expected, not rude

10. The company that hires you first is almost never the company you retire from.
