Newer Graduates Picky in Job Selection

PERSUASIVE SPEECH

TITLE: NEWER GRADUATES PICKY IN JOB SELECTION

Fresh graduates are often very vigorous in looking for their first job. They are often very enthusiastic in getting the right job that they might make mistakes while doing so. Instead of boosting their chances of getting hired, they have jeopardized their chances of getting employed and improve their career.

If you are a fresh graduate, be careful in doing these mistakes. This may not destroy your entire career but it will put a dent on your chances of getting a good job from the start.

In my opinion, most of our graduates now place too much importance on image and position when they apply for jobs. They don’t think about stability and the long-term potential of the career they sought after.

I guess half of our present graduates are choosy and most are after high-paid positions without putting in the hard work and heavy efforts. Most seemed to be lacking in competency to work independently. Those from well-to-do families are too dependent on their parents and are often hesitant to work on their own capacity. Then, they complained that many lacked commitment and blamed it on the Malaysian education system.

Maybe it’s because the graduates feared taking risks and do not want to try new things, whereas those from private colleges behave the other way around if they can’t have their dream job, they don’t mind waiting not all of them, but many. Nowadays, not easy to find a job because our Malaysian economy are worst. For me, when the opportunity is not available, you have to create it.

On the tertiary education system, particularly at public universities, I’m felt that too much emphasis had been given to theories and very little opportunities for hands-on practice.

However lame you think your experience sounds, anything is better than nothing. Think back and see the job through the eyes of an employer. What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them? What skills did you develop? What training did you have? This is all great stuff for applications and interviews.

What happened to working hard first before making salary demands? Or gaining work experience before moving to a better-paying job? Surely that’s important too.

Perhaps the younger generation these days are just being realistic about their future, considering the rising cost of living, thinking about your PTPTN debt, enhance your maturity to developed your own life with your own money and career.

However, the problem lies in the fact that most youngsters choose to have lavish lifestyles instead of saving for the future. At the end of the day, no starting salary will be enough to support their spendthrift habit.

Always keep in mind that jobs can lead to other jobs. You never know if the job you think is beneath you can lead to the job you want. There’s always room to move up in the company. Always do more than what you are asked to do. Actually having that job, it can provide valuable work experience and knowledge, as well as the much needed dough.

Maybe, they search for the job that they love, they have wasted a little time but if there was really no vacancy for the post they looking for, they  won’t hesitate to look for another job. They might be choosy at first but they cannot be choosy for the rest of their life for the sake of their family. This is my opinion why fresh graduates cannot be choosy pick their job but they need to take what opportunity coming first and you have to feel lucky if you got your 1st interview either you like it or not.

INFORMATIVE SPEECH

LEARNING IS A NEVER ENDING PROCESS

Learning is a never ending process. Learning in life should not be limited to within the realms of your school boundaries. It should extend beyond as it is a beautiful enriching experience which widens the horizons of your mind and enhances your thinking capabilities. One must always keep the path open for new experiences. Always be willing to learn new things, discover the unfamiliar and venture into terrains that previously looked difficult or challenging. Set new goals and objectives. The enlightenment experience is essential for gaining new experiences in life. These experiences lead you to be a better person and educates you to deal with the challenges life throws at you and survive unscathed.

First intention I choose to continue my degree because for my personal satisfaction. To developed my skills, to get experience as much I can, and then for materialistic purpose will be the last objective. I am not put materialistic purpose as a main objective because for me if you only have qualification, but not have any experience or skills, you still cannot achieve that. Let say I cannot achieve my best position or best salary, but I still happy and satisfy because I have a knowledge and I proud with myself.

You are always learning and discovering new things that will allow you to continue on the path of success. Everyone is always in motion at some time in their life. They are either going up and getting better, or they can be falling back on bad habits. Nobody is ever standing still in life. That is because the world is always changing and if you don’t improve you will be left behind. Not only is the world always changing, but so are you. You are not the same person that you were last year, last month, or even yesterday. You have changed, even if it has been very little. Just by reading this article you will have changed by just gaining some knowledge and insight about yourself.
