A parent wonders: Why is my child good from a young age, excellent in the labor market but still can't find a job?

I know a student who just graduated from university, is considered a "good boy", has been good since childhood, has many awards at many levels, including national levels, and attends a specialized school. high school, top university, excellent university academic results.

But he had a hard time finding a job, including internship positions at unknown companies in the industry. Parents' comments are: My child is an elite person in the labor market, so why can't he find a suitable job?

The parent asked for advice from a recruitment specialist with many years in the industry. The expert immediately shared that his husband was also a "family member" and a talented student at a famous university, but when he entered the school, he realized that the school had all kinds of students. elite member with many awards and according to his experience "people's children" are divided into two types:

First, give up the glorious past to start again, always learning and ready to move forward. For example, I was successful and became an employee at famous international corporations.

Second, resting on your laurels: With a new, completely different way of learning, without direct tutoring or extra study like in high school, the results were disastrous, and not as expected,

The husband of the recruitment expert gave advice to the excellent new graduate: to start from scratch with zero, starting from someone who doesn't know anything to apply for a job. I see myself having many opportunities. If you consider yourself an individual with impressive academic achievements, it will be difficult to apply for a job, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the labor market.

So what should the student do and is the advice from the recruitment expert's husband really correct?

From the perspective of competition between human resources in the labor market, I realize that the true nature of this is still due to the law of "supply and demand". Market rules will determine whether or not you are suitable for the labor market.

Why are there times when "students from other families" are highly sought after, whereas there are times when "students from other families" are rejected by the market? It's still due to the law of supply and demand.

When a new industry is just forming with a high growth rate, the thirst for human resources will make supply always greater than demand. "Students from other families" will always be sought after at high prices.

The most typical is human resources in the Information Technology (IT) industry about 10, 20 years ago. On the contrary, when that profession goes into decline, supply will exceed demand. At this time, even if you are a "family" student, you will still fail and be rejected.

Currently, the IT industry is in this period of decline, Supply exceeds demand. It can be seen that the "people's family" graduate student above is in a situation of economic recession and industry recession, so he is rejected a lot. p>

The advice of the recruitment expert husband, to put it nicely, actually advised him to give up his training "career" to start with re-industry jobs and work his way up slowly, instead Because he tried to beg for a position, he retreated.

Actually, this is not strange, but in countries like Japan, Korea, China... the generations that apply for jobs during the recession will fail a lot and be abandoned as suitors. hikikomori lifestyle, movement lying straight, or an old woman, an old man picking up cardboard...

Those are people who cannot find a job during the recession and are unable to retrain themselves in a new career skill to adapt.

The higher the level of job positions, the more fierce the competition will be because the means of production are very few and require many conditions to be accessed.

The above student was in a period of decline in the industry, so although he was as good as a "family kid" he could not access the job market. Therefore, the recruitment specialist's husband's advice is that instead of trying to win, start from the beginning to be able to adapt to current life.
