With the motto of accompanying and supporting students to fully equip themselves with knowledge and skills before entering the labor market, on March 18, 2024, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-USSH) organized a talk show "Preparing mentally before entering the labor market". The event is also part of a series of activities towards the USSH's Jobfair - Connecting Employers in 2024.

Participating in the talk show were teachers from the Student Affairs Department, along with nearly 200 first- to fourth-year students from many majors in the school.

The event was accompanied by speaker Dr. Cao Xuan Lieu, Chairman of the Founding Council of the Institute for Applied Psychology - Education and Human Resources Training. With many years of experience teaching in the field of psychology and human resources training, the speaker shared a lot of information and personal experiences since he was a fresh graduate, facing many difficulties and challenges in finding a job that truly suited him and had opportunities for advancement.

According to Dr. Cao Xuan Lieu, university students today are well-trained in their majors, but when entering the labor market, they still face many difficulties: difficulty finding jobs; or finding jobs that do not match their abilities, strengths, and desires; lack of confidence during interviews and probationary periods, leading to failure to meet the expectations of employers.
Therefore, while still in school, students need to have thorough preparations, not only a solid foundation of professional knowledge but also understanding themselves, positioning themselves, identifying the "no" (difficulties, challenges) about the labor market, the job they will do, identifying the obstacles they will encounter when starting a new job, a new environment. Only then can students not be surprised or "naive" when officially entering the labor market right after graduation.

"Generation Z students need to realize that now is not the time for them to "beg" for a job, but to find the most suitable job (expertise, ability, interests, strengths, desires and opportunities to develop and improve themselves) or to be able to create jobs for themselves and for many others.". - Dr. Cao Xuan Lieu emphasized.

The representative of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities thanked the speaker, Dr. Cao Xuan Lieu, for sharing with the students useful information about the characteristics of the labor market in the current context and notes on the process of preparing a solid foundation before entering the labor market.
