Even when you have 0 experience and therefore 0 bargaining power?

My concern with people asking this question is you might be seen as going after the money instead of the job.  Whilst this is true in practice, i.e. you need the money, but it doesn't mean you should make it so obvious.

PS, it's great to see people finding this useful.  It is not aimed at providing all solutions, but to help get the ball rolling and to get people thinking.  Hopefully, some of the stuff in there would save you having to find it out the hard way or to spend time discovering it.

I believe it is important for a student to gain experience before becoming a "fresh graduate". Although compared to the industry, his/her knowledge and experience may not mean much relative to the requirements and demands of the industry. But if compared to others, the said student who did go over and beyond in terms of excelling in studies and making a point to gain the right work ethics, he/she will definitely have an advantage over the rest.

Therefore, I believe with the right preparation over the years, fresh graduates can enter the working world with bargaining power.

Not sure how my post you quoted relates to what you have said?

I agree that relevant experience, be in internship, part time work or similar gives a fresh graduate an upper hand compared to the rest of the applicants. 
Coincidentally I am working on an update and this is one of the areas I wanted to cover.

I'm not sure by specific job you meant same company or different company, if it's the latter, it's still early.  If you meant rotating to different roles within the same company, it's something you should bring up with your manager.  Most large companies tend to let freshies do this just so they can experience different aspect of the job.

Yeap, agree on that. TheMarvelFan, I would like to suggest that you find your passion as soon as possible. Something that you are proud of doing, then stick to it. I wish you good luck in your work.

Geminist, if you are willing, I am more than happy to assist you with the update.
