If you have completed your studies and you are not getting the appropriate job so it can have two types of reasons. First, it can be related to the situation of the country, good governance, or the job market. These things are impossible to handle individually. Only comments and conversations can be made on them.
But another reason for unemployment or not getting a better job is related to individual behaviors, which can be fixed. By doing so, achieving employment from unemployment and achieving better job from the current job, becomes possible.
Need of contacts

The difficulties during unemployment and "No more promotion" during job are: Good degree, Experience, expertise in your work, and communication skills. But apart from all these things, there is a most important thing which is "Links".
It is often seen that people having contacts with successful people, get the success or job more easily, whether they have lack of skills. Their "Links" remove all the weaknesses. Therefore, good relationships are very important for the success or getting the employment.

- Write your carrier's information briefly but in a comprehensive manner.
- The profession you want to work in, must be written in the introduction paragraph. For example, " I want to work in Webmaster".
