Grasp the needs of employers
Faced with increasingly competitive job markets, many students have proactively sought out and grasped the needs of employers through websites, job fairs, etc. to practice, improve skills, and open up opportunities for themselves.
Participating in a job fair organized by the school, Tran My Huyen - an economics student (Can Tho University) - hopes to find a suitable position for herself. Through research, My Huyen realized that, in addition to experience, foreign language ability is also something that many employers are currently interested in. Accordingly, if you are good at foreign languages, you will have the opportunity to develop in both domestic and international enterprises.
Tran Son Khang - a student majoring in business administration (Can Tho University) - said that participating in job fairs and festivals helps him grasp the needs of employers, learn interview skills, and write a CV (resume) to attract businesses.
After consulting with companies and businesses, the male student realized that he had more potential and was more suitable than a job he had previously thought. Multinational companies and businesses are especially interested in and have high requirements for foreign language ability and professional skills of candidates. This further motivated Son Khang to improve his skills, especially foreign languages, in the future to meet the needs of employers.
Priority for foreign language skills
Through a survey of companies and businesses at the Job Fair - Phase 2, 2024 for students held at Can Tho University, many units are particularly interested in the foreign language proficiency of candidates, considering this a top priority condition for candidates to be able to work and develop at the company.
Aiming at international trade, Mr. Lai Tien Thanh - Head of Talent Acquisition Department of Betrimex - is looking for human resources with good foreign language skills. Mr. Thanh said that as the globalization trend is increasingly developing, improving foreign language skills is almost a mandatory factor and requirement for different large and small enterprises in Vietnam. Human resources with good foreign language skills are a very necessary factor and the basis for development at Betrimex.
Ms. Dang Thi Linh Thy - Head of Corporate Credit Department, Woori Bank, Can Tho Branch - informed that foreign language requirements are one of the first criteria that the bank sets for candidates. Currently, the bank prioritizes two foreign languages: English and Korean.
According to Ms. Thy, in the context of trade, economic expansion, and international cooperation, human resources with good foreign language skills will have more opportunities for promotion as well as find a job with a good income.
