STARTUP COMPANIES PRESENT GREATER GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FOR FRESH GRADUATE
A startup company is described as a company, or an organization newly created and is in a phase of development and research for potential markets. It is designed to search for a repeatable and workable model. This is a company that is in its initial stages usually just begging and has not been in operation for a long time.
This impact if exceptional will in turn be noticed and recognized by the whole organization and its subsequent customers. This will give great satisfaction which will in the long run work magic to an individual’s motivation and self-confidence. There will be recommendations and acknowledgement from the top management including the CEO at a more personal level. Innovation and room for creativity: Greater responsibility means bigger and crucial decisions and this may at times lead to mistakes. At a startup there is provision to accommodate such decisions that may not necessarily be the best at that time. This is specifically since there are no cut out procedures and processes and as such startups offer very conducive environment for innovation and creativity for fresh graduates with enthusiasm and desire to have their ideas recognized and put to practice (Kerrin, 2008)
This environment is made available due to the fact that startups are keen to find the right business model and procedures that will realize best their policies. Nothing gives greater fulfillment than to be part of or the main brain behind a successful business module (Kerrin, 2002). Ownership and leadership: with big/established companies, there is a cut out protocol when it comes to promotion and leadership and this is mainly pegged on hierarchy and experience rather than ability to achieve and skills. At a startup, an individual stands greater opportunities for growth as excellent work is noticed very fast and rewarded forthwith. Promotions are based on merit and there is always chance of owning the company in terms of shares since the company is still at initial stages. Financial power; Bigger and more established companies appear to appeal more since they offer greater financial incentives as this is already stipulated and there are resources to support the same. These kinds of companies always offer attractive pay perks to graduates which when put to good use can propel the graduate to greater financial growth.
Stability/Job security; Established companies have very strong foundations and financial backup to offer fresh graduates stability in the job and a peace of mind knowing that the company have stood the test of time. This sense of security helps an individual to focus on his career and professional growth without any concerns for his financial position.
Specialization; well established companies have a well cut out business module with clear processes and procedures hence an individual has the liberty to focus more on his/her area of specialty. This sense of specialization helps bring out more the skill set of an individual which can be a great motivator for a fresh graduate. Startups may seem as a big risk as there is impending uncertainty at the beginning, but in the bigger picture life is all about risks and many successful people in the society had to take risks.
