Experts "name and shame" the current situation of new graduates

Accordingly, the Seminar raised many issues of the current labor market, in which the employment situation of new graduates was particularly emphasized. Employers said that, besides the advantages of youth, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn, new graduates still have many weaknesses that need to be overcome, such as: not having much practical experience; not having specific, clear goals in work; not knowing how to focus on professional development; low integration ability, often easily discouraged, giving up; too high requirements on salary and working environment while their own capacity has not met; limited IT skills, foreign languages, teamwork and other soft skills...

Banks currently have many attractive positions for students about to graduate. In addition to students majoring in Finance - Banking, students in majors such as Information Technology (IT), Law, Accounting, Business Administration, E-commerce, etc. also have many opportunities.

Answering students' questions about job opportunities in the media industry, Ms. Do Quyen - Business Development Director of Digital Transformation at MCV Company said: " The main job of a media company often requires regular communication with partners, so jobs related to media, language, marketing, financial management, production, channel operations, customer management, etc. are always recruited."

When asked about the important factors in the student startup process, Mr. Dang Hung Binh - Deputy General Director of Your Homes Real Estate Company shared: When starting a business, it is necessary to focus on three main pillars: correctly recognizing one's own abilities; having a working team, having a mentor; choosing the right time to start a business. In addition, startups should have cash flow reserves so that the business operations of the enterprise are always continuous and stable.

Ms. Bui Thi Xuan Thao - Sales Director of Gapo Group advised: "Employees working in the right field or in a different field need to have positive motivation, a responsible working attitude, and clear and specific goals. Therefore, right from the time they are in school, students need to believe in themselves, be serious, learn more to improve their knowledge and skills to create their own strengths, from which job opportunities will be expanded."
