As of 2015, the whole country has recorded about 200,000 unemployed workers with a Bachelor's degree or higher. And another alarming fact is that this number is constantly increasing every year. So what is the reason? Due to the scarcity of jobs, due to the requirements of employers or due to the quality of training... If you have time to find out the underlying cause of this situation, you will be able to answer the above question.

What to do to avoid unemployment

Most of the causes of unemployment today come from the behavior and attitude of students when they are in school. Here are some solutions to reduce unemployment after graduation:

A degree alone is not enough, students need to equip themselves with solid knowledge
Are you ready for the questions that employers will ask you? What have you learned during your studies and how have you applied them in practice? And more importantly, what qualifications have you obtained after graduation?

Improve your knowledge of the field you are studying

There are many students who, when graduating, have no professional knowledge or simply memorize theory without knowing how to apply it in practice. Therefore, their job opportunities will be less than those who have oriented their career from the time they are still in school. You need to determine what subject you are studying and what you need to do to apply the knowledge you have learned in practice to get a good job in the future.

You should join clubs organized in school right from the beginning of your studies

The model of clubs in universities is very popular in the world. But it is still quite strange for Vietnamese students. From these clubs, you can practice many soft skills that are useful for your future work: organization skills, presentation skills, and time management, teamwork skills, community communication skills, etc. You can choose to join clubs according to your interests, which will help you feel more comfortable when you are both learning and doing what you like.

Accumulate more knowledge to develop personal thinking

Need to develop personal thinking
Don't just limit your understanding to the scope of books. Employers need to see how you think about that problem. With the age of technology development, with just 1 click, you can find information about all the problems you learned in the classroom. See how you have applied them in practice and what benefits they bring to you.

From there, build yourself the ability to think quickly in all matters. Only then will you be sure to make a very special impression on the employer.

Need to overcome your weaknesses
Vietnam has a saying "Diligence makes up for intelligence" which is exactly like that! You should accept that there are problems that you are still weak in order to find ways to overcome and improve them for the better.

If you lack professional knowledge, read more books about the major you are pursuing in your career. If your English is not good, find ways to improve your English skills. This is the key to success not only during the time you are studying in the classroom. It also helps your career later.

Do not refuse many difficult tasks
Many Vietnamese students have just graduated from school but have to start working immediately at small companies. Thinking that these jobs are not worthy of your 4 years of studying. Thus, you have lost your job opportunities in the future.

As Jack Ma - Chairman of Alibaba Group, one of the largest e-commerce sites in the world, once shared, "From 20 to 30 years old, you should find a good boss, not a good company, learn from him..."

Never stop learning and improving yourself
Don't be afraid to ask questions, you have to admit that there are many people who are smarter and more talented than you. You should learn and improve yourself by asking them questions. Since you were a university student, there were some outstanding students in the class, you should learn from their experiences and knowledge.

Don't be afraid to ask questions to improve yourself

In the working environment, always ask questions about issues you don't understand. This way, you will not only accumulate knowledge but also expand more relationships.

Conclusion
The above are some suggestions to help you orient yourself and find a suitable job after graduation. But you should remember that whether you can improve everything or not will depend entirely on your attitude as well as how you apply these suggestions. Don't graduate with a "paper" degree, take action!
