The real reason new graduates can’t get hired
The text explains why new graduates find lots of difficulties on getting hired.
It’s said that studies are very important to get a good job but for university
grands, to apply for a job becomes a really difficult purpose.
More than a hundred graduates from the University of Westminster sent their
CV’s to UK employers and only sixteen of them were called for an interview.
This happens because employers give more importance to work experience and
technical skills instead of studies and qualifications.
For this reason, university grads use to create a website explaining their skills to
have more possibilities of being hired. Skills that are really important to get a job
are written and oral communication, critical thinking and analytical reasoning.
Furthermore, the kind of work experience you have becomes decisive too when
hiring new employees. It’s different to have worked on specific projects than to
have got coffee to everyone.
Employers say that students don’t have the ability to think critically, innovate,
solve complex problems and work well in team. Graduates only have
theoretical skills but they don’t have practical skills and that’s why they don’t get
hired easily.
To help this people finding a job, there are some curricula designers and
specialized people that work to help them developing their skills, doing their CV
and teach them how to cause a good feeling to the employers in an interview.
