Eight years after being shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for girls’ education in Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai has graduated from the most prestigious course on offer at Oxford University.
The Nobel Prize winner and activist, 22, shared images on Twitter of herself smiling, covered in celebratory cake and confetti.
“Hard to express my joy and gratitude right now as I completed my philosophy, politics and economics degree at Oxford,” she wrote.
“I don’t know what’s ahead. For now, it will be Netflix, reading and sleep.”
Philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford is renowned for developing political leaders including former UK prime minister David Cameron and Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto and Imran Khan.
Ms Yousafzai first rose to prominence at the age of 11 after blogging about life under the Taliban, but after angering the extremist group for speaking out she was shot and nearly died in October 2012.
Ms Yousafzai was flown to Britain for medical treatment and settled in the city of Birmingham.
She was at school there when she heard in 2014 that she had won the Nobel Peace Prize along with Indian activist Kailash Satyarthi "for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education".
The youngest ever Nobel laureate at the time, she has continued to speak out for girls' education.
10 tips for entry-level job seekers
- Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
- Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
- Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
- For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
- Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
- Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
- Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
- Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
- Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
- Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
