What makes one job more attractive than another?
As you graduate from university, you may soon be stepping into your first career job – a role in your chosen field that hinges on the skills and qualifications you have developed. It is the end of one journey and the beginning of another. With that, there can be excitement and trepidation. You might be moving to a new area, taking on different responsibilities and stepping outside of your comfort zone. Some graduates will have different opportunities in front of them and will have to consider what role fits them best. Certain aspects of a job – such as salary, benefits and location – are easier to weigh up. Some are less tangible, like the scope for career growth, work-life balance or the culture of a company. Clare Finegan is a lecturer in education, guidance and counselling at Maynooth University. She advises graduating students to look at a new job as the first step of many. 'Unless there is a workplace experience as part of your degree, you will more than likely learn your trade on the job,' Dr Finegan says. 'Every job has something to offer. While interest is what sustains us for the most part, some jobs are just that – a job. Not your dream job or your forever job, but your start for where you are at that moment in time. READ MORE 'You can practice your skills and acquire new skills in communication, teamwork, etc. The list is endless, and they are all transferable whenever the next opportunity arises, whether it's promotion in the same job or a move to a new job altogether. It may give you some financial independence to do what you love as a hobby or just pay the bills so you can survive while you are upskilling.' It is difficult to get a sense of a company before you are in there, but Dr Finegan says it can help to trust your instincts. Beyond that, it is always worth reaching out to people who work or have worked in the place you are applying for, or in a similar role elsewhere. 'You can do your research and certainly know what the company has to offer. What the company has to offer you is as important as what you have to offer it. Even just attending an interview will inform you about that and you'll get a sense of your employers and a sense of the place. 'It's like when they visited universities. You do get an intuitive sense about whether a place fits for you or doesn't. It's those first impressions that can really be very informative. Then it's talking to people, doing your research and finding out as much as you can about the culture of the place and if people are happy there.' There is nothing wrong with prioritising money when deciding on a job, but the best fit may not always be the most lucrative, depending on what you want. Dr Finegan is a proponent of career moves with learning opportunities that can benefit graduates further down the line. 'Travel offers you the best learning and the best life skills,' she says. 'I have found that students can be more open to travelling abroad than travelling down the country, whatever that's about. Travelling to the unfamiliar and being open to different ways of doing things and to new cultures and perspectives – that's the real learning journey. 'Whether it's paid or not, it's giving you all those skills. An [unpaid] internship – grab it if it's something you're interested in and see it as a learning opportunity. It's also going to open doors for you, and you can always earn your money doing more menial jobs on the side.'

'First teacher': Dubai's royal family hail Sheikh Mohammed on Father's Day
We all love our parents, and while we are pampered by our mother's love, it is our father we look to for guidance. As the UAE celebrated Father's Day 2025 on Saturday, June 21, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council (DMC), and Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Olympic Committee, wrote touching tributes to their father Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. "I learned from my father that giving is a value that makes life flourish.. and that responsibility does not mean a position.. but rather the ability to give," Sheikh Hamdan wrote in a post on X. "From his wisdom we derive our strength.. and from his words we draw our determination.. and with his vision we move forward with confidence and reassurance towards a more beautiful tomorrow, God willing," the Dubai Crown Prince added. Meanwhile, Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed said they were raised to believe that "building a person is more important than building a structure." "At Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid School, we were raised to believe that fatherhood is a message and a responsibility... and that building a person is more important than building an urban structure... and the father remains the support and role model... and the truest story told throughout life," Sheikh Ahmed said. Sheikh Mansoor called Sheikh Mohammed his "first teacher." "On Father's Day, we remember the great role fathers play in building people and shaping nations. A father is not just the head of a family; he is the first teacher and an inspiring role model. I learned from my father, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, that a true father is one who instills values before words and leads with actions before words. Happy Father's Day," he said. Meanwhile, Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, said: "Every year, you are my source of strength and support, my inspiration and the light that I follow."
