The unemployment news bulletin newly issued by the Hanoi Employment Service Center shows that in the restructuring process, businesses in Hanoi do not lay off people, they lay off old processes and outdated skills. Among them, 3 major trends stand out.
Flattening the apparatus
Minimize intermediate management levels such as team leaders and primary supervisors.
Prioritize multi-skilled personnel - one person can operate multiple stages through software.
Prioritize intersection skills
Recruit people who are both skilled as mechanics and know how to read data on computers.
Switching from "muscle" to "solution
Businesses are willing to pay high salaries to those who handle problems instead of following instructions.
Hanoi Employment Service Center warns that the "red zone" of elimination in the Capital, which is manual administrative work, primary accounting, data entry and warehousing, is gradually disappearing under the impact of AI and automation.
To upgrade themselves and soon return to the market when unemployed, workers need to adhere to 3 rules.
Self-marketing skills: Smart digital CV design (not only beautiful but also "SEO standard"; using industry keywords to overcome the enterprise's automatic support filtering system).
Conquer digital interviews with video call communication skills; arrange lighting, professional camera angles; interact effectively with interview robots.
Build an interoperability skill set: Identify AI as a partner and understand how to ask basic questions to ChatGPT/Gemini for support. Master online collaboration tools to be ready for flexible work models.
Mindset management and adaptation: Flexible thinking (ready to refresh skill sets, break down goals into specific steps, learn continuously from all resources); creating momentum (through pressure management skills, turning the unemployment period into an opportunity to "charge" energy, repositioning life goals when focusing on core and passion).
