Attitude that determines success or failure
Gen Z citizens (born from 1997 to 2012) born and raised in the era of information technology are like "breaths," so they have many strengths compared to previous generations such as: being quick to grasp trends, multitasking, creativity and confidence...
However, according to Anphabe's survey, up to 50% of Gen Z believe that they are not really ready for the future career race. Among them, more than half of Gen Z generations are not too confident about their attitude and abilities. Although they really like to learn, adapt quickly and be responsible, Gen Z is reluctant to share sincerely, cannot withstand high pressure and is less comfortable when there are too many changes.
The advice for Gen Z is not to limit your own abilities, be ready to embrace and open up to new experiences, which will help you unlock potential and find true passion from your own work. Remember that attitude will determine your success.
Knowledge alone is not enough, to do a good job, you must have skills!
The labor market is competitive, you must not only compete with the domestic labor force but also compete with human resources from abroad. Therefore, in addition to good expertise, you need to have the necessary skills to win in this "battle".
Thanks to quickly grasping trends, Gen Z can become proficient in skills related to producing creative products, with the effective help of modern technology. This also helps Gen Z become more impressive and unique in the eyes of previous generations. Outstanding skills of Gen Z can be mentioned such as: Working independently, working in groups, building relationships. Besides, your confidence also lies in other "negligible" skills such as filming clips, taking pictures...
However, Anphabe's survey results also recorded that Gen Z is still hesitant in some skills such as: English, leadership, negotiation and business acumen. In fact, these are important skills that employers prioritize looking for in candidates.
Self-study and improve yourself to adapt to all changes
An extremely important factor to help you confidently welcome suitable job opportunities is your ability to self-study and improve yourself.
There are 3 factors to "conquer" employers without professional experience:
Master basic knowledge: You may not need to learn too much, too broadly, but you must firmly grasp the most basic knowledge. When you are solid from the core things, you can take advantage of formulas, tips, and become an advantage instead of completely dependenceing on them.
Develop and expand skills: Focus on equipping yourself with skills alongside simple knowledge because in a constantly changing environment like today, once you have solid skills and knowledge, you will learn how to adapt and accept changes in reality.
Actively participate in exchange and learning programs with businesses: There is no better approach than talking and learning about each other directly. You must go to the workplace to directly feel the enthusiasm in the working environment, listen and feel the concern of the business for you to make a decision to choose a career development destination for yourself.
In addition, practical experience programs such as visiting offices and factories organized annually by many large corporations for students also help you "see and hear" the professional working environment, increase experience for yourself and thereby have the best preparation before going to work.
