Steve Jobs once said, “The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people in the world” (Stroope, 2017), simply the employers are looking for individuals who are a fit and ready for the workforce. Beyond the academic degree, students therefore must be well prepared for the workforce thus ensuring
they are updated on their current career, have a strong work ethic, positive attitude, be self-confident, act as a team player, have excellent communication skills, possess time management abilities, have better problem-solving skills, and generally show commitment towards the success of the organization he/she is expecting to work for (Mishra, 2014). Numerous case studies have shown that establishing and operating an office of career services in institutions of higher learning can significantly impact the students’ career outcomes.
