Why do not young people find a job? FIGURES THAT ALARM
A recently published study on the main obstacles that young people find when looking for a job makes us think about the new perspectives they will have when it comes to finding a new job.
This report categorically concluded that:
- 36% of young people do not have enough information about job offers.
- 24% do not know about the existence or methodology of job exchanges,
- 19% lack the specialization required by the labor market,
- 18% of young people do not have tools or ignore job search techniques.
- Only 3% can not find a job due to reasons unrelated to their preparation (little job opportunity to their profession, high demand in the activity, etc.)
This situation forces us to reflect on the importance of understanding job search as a "job" in itself, and how vital it is to dedicate time, effort, advice, etc.
The figures presented are alarming in the sense of assuming that many of the anxieties experienced by those who are unemployed could be avoided - or reduced at least - if they were prepared enough to begin a systematic, orderly search, clearly focused on personal interests, with objectives precise, in short, what we have called many times from Carrera Laboral, "a professional search".
We could say then that there are no professionals without a job, but professionals unable to plan their search and adapt to the circumstances.
It is also essential to learn about the new ways that employers find to disseminate their needs for skilled workers. That image of the young man with a newspaper in his hands left very early in the morning to try his luck in the labor market was far behind. Nowadays, only 20% of job offers are published in conventional media (magazines, newspapers, etc.). New technologies have given way to innovative recruitment strategies and keeping out of that knowledge will mean duplicating efforts in the achievement of a job. Internet has become the tool par excellence in accessing immediate, updated and global information, and entering the technological world can be the first step in a path full of surprises.
Prepare personal material (CV, cover letter, references, etc.), be technologically trained (Internet, email, etc.), investigate new methods of finding personnel (exchanges and employment agencies, personnel centers), search Advice (studies of human resources, centers of dissemination of jobs, etc.), everything adds up when the search seems unsuccessful.
Opportunities there are many, how many are or are able to take advantage of them?
Personal Marketing: PROMOTE YOURSELF
Surely you know the term "marketing" and it is also sure that relations with the world of advertising or sales. Well, you're right. And when we speak of "personal marketing" the meaning of the phrase remains the same: sell a "product", which in this case, we will be ourselves. Advertising experts recommend to achieve a successful sale, the habit of highlighting the best of the product in question and show buyers their best facet. We are not talking about lying, but about reinforcing the strengths of our potential as employees. In this sense there are techniques and strategies that will be of great help when you look for a new job.
Remember that you should always start from the results that reflect two main reflections: a) What you can offer to companies (preparation, experience and skills) and b) your professional project (what you like to do and what you do not like to do, sector productive of your interest, etc.).
It is common for those who seek employment to start sending Curriculum Vitae without first meditating on their own interests or abilities. When you have this decided, of course you should start studying the market to discover which are the best options or where there are greater chances of success. Based on these considerations, you will be in a position to prepare an Action Plan that will aim to promote the sale of a "new product": yourself.
