Starting a career with a fresher tag is always difficult. As you don't have enough knowledge to deal with the situations and pressure from top management is always a difficult thing. There are two types of companies which hire graduates. 

A.Core Companies 

Core companies are  particular field related companies which are mostly technical in nature for example for Civil Engineering- construction companies, Electrical Engineering - electrical companies, Electronics Engineering- electronics and chip manufactures, Mechanical Engineering- automobile sectors, steel manufacturers, Computer Science Engineering- software companies

B.Non-core Companies

Non-core companies are not relevant to your education, for example, a mechanical/electrical/electronics/civil graduate doing the job in an IT/software sector. In most of the cases, graduates opt for the IT sector as they cannot find the relevant job in core sector and want to move in life in another profession for better salary and growth aspects.  

One thing is clear be it Core or non-core companies you should have to develop some job oriented skills and had to stay up to date according to the industry needs.
