5 Jobs Egyptian Fresh Grads Can Get Their Hands on Right Now

Let's face it, looking for a job is a pain in the ass; we have to get a job to earn a living, and we need experience to get a job, and we need a job to get experience. We manage to ruin a good few months of our lives trying to find a job, get stuck working a job we hate and aren't even good at,  earn barely enough money to cover lunch and phone credit, and all while not gaining any substantial experience or strengthening our skills. We just hope not to get stuck in it well into our 40s. It's bad enough that we more often than not get forced into an academic field we can't even stand.

So, what do we do with our degrees? Well, one option is to download apps and play games on our phones. No, seriously. We can totally do that on HireHunt. Gone are the days of being unemployed, broke, and having nagging family telling you to get a life – to which you say "I can't find a job" and mama says "W law 2omt w la2eeto!" Essentially, with HireHunt, you're signing up and running a few missions to save your future, which is the fun way of setting up your profile. First, you play a few games that determine your skills, like typing speed, and several vocabulary and math quizzes. Beware, though; apparently numbers are still hard. Between each game, you enter a few pieces of information, like where you are based, your age, where you graduated from, and a recent photo of yourself – you probably have plenty of selfies from your unemployed days. And, voila! The hunt begins. Employers scan how well you did through the different stages, which will tell them exactly what your talents are. Basically, you'll get better direction than your academic advisor in school ever tried to give you.

So, to motivate you, we chose five jobs fresh graduates can apply for, and there are tons more to look through. Check out these epic vacancies you didn't even think were available in Egypt:

Executive Coordinator @ Harvest Holdings

You don't actually need any specific degree for this, and no one is asking you for anything other than focus, intelligence, and the ability to learn fast. If you've always dreamed of starting your career in business with successful one, this is it! Even if this isn't your dream career, the job is guaranteed to equip you with much needed skills to help you in any career path you later choose. Catch this one while you can! We're guessing you may get to dress up.

Social Media Coordinators @ Orient Productions 

Let's be honest, here: you're on social media ALL DAY. Remember when we'd find really fun things and wonder, "Why can't this be my job?" Orient Productions needs a nice individual who is willing to stay on social media all day. Not only will your words be the face of the company on platforms millions come across every day, you'll probably end up being more of a connoisseur about their activities than their CEO. And you'll also have pictures from all the events – yay for blackmailing employees about when they stuffed their face at the open buffet! 

Graphic Designers @ Mortimer Harvey 

Who said making art isn't a real job? Who came up with the term 'starving artists'? Not in the day and age of digital art. The more you work as a graphic designer, the better you'll get, and the more you'll get to point at billboards across Egypt and say "That's me!" And what better way to do that except with Mortimer Harvey? It's an award-winning advertisement agency, with branches in Egypt and South Africa – so you'll get to be working with big-boy clients, art directors who tough-love you, and that CV will have a golden point, not to mention you may get a trip to South Africa. We'll cross our fingers for you if you apply.

Primary School Teachers @ Manhattan Language Schools

Some kids, believe it or not, like their teachers. But that's only when their teacher is straight up cool and knowledgeable. If you have some experience in the teaching field, and actually enjoy working with kids, then this is your calling. The best part is, if you're an awesome teacher, they will forever be grateful to you – not to mention they will look up to you and think of you as a borderline superhero because you can spell words way faster and solve math problems in less two seconds.

Regional Business Development Associate @ Software Group

You only get one chance in life to be everyone's favourite. This position is that chance – it all depends on how much you're willing to write, think, brainstorm, milk your creativity, and do whatever you have to do to when you're working with clients and managers on a day-to-day basis. If you do it right, you'll be the favourite of everyone from top to bottom, and outside the office, too. This is your chance to put those social skills to use! You will use everything you learn and every word you hear to benefit the business and help it grow. You'll get to see how your influence has made actual changes – and, this job offers you plenty of room to grow and *chi-ching* promotions in the long run!
