Breaking into the job market as a fresher can feel overwhelming, especially when every job seems to ask for “experience.” But here’s the truth: hiring managers aren’t expecting you to know everything — they’re looking for potential. At DVHR, we spoke to industry hiring managers to decode exactly what they want from today’s freshers.

Here’s what they said:

💡 1. The Right Attitude Over a Perfect Resume

Recruiters consistently rate attitude as a top quality in freshers. They’re looking for candidates who are:

• Eager to learn
• Open to feedback
• Willing to take initiative
• Positive and resilient

Pro tip: Even if your resume is short, let your curiosity and willingness to grow shine through in your cover letter or interview.

🎯 2. Strong Communication Skills

It’s not about having perfect English — it’s about clear, confident communication. Hiring managers want candidates who can:

• Express ideas clearly
• Listen actively
• Work well in teams
• Ask the right questions

Soft skills like communication can make or break your first impression.

🛠️ 3. Basic Technical/Job-Specific Skills

You don’t need to be an expert — but basic proficiency is expected. Whether you’re in sales, coding, design, or HR, know the tools and concepts of your field.

"We don't expect freshers to know everything — we expect them to know something, and be ready to learn the rest," says one IT hiring lead.

🔍 4. Awareness of the Role & Company

Freshers often apply blindly. But smart candidates research the company and job role before the interview. Hiring managers notice when you've done your homework.

Bonus tip: Mention a recent company achievement or product you admire during your interview. It shows genuine interest.

📁 5. A Neat & Updated Resume

Yes, even as a fresher, your resume matters! It should:

• Be 1 page
• List internships, projects, or certifications
• Highlight skills relevant to the role

Include a professional email ID and keep formatting clean.

🚀 Final Thoughts

Freshers, your lack of experience isn’t a weakness — it’s your blank canvas. Hiring managers are ready to invest in you if you show promise, preparation, and potential.
