Introduction

When the desired moment of graduation arrives and the culmination of years of dedication and effort, the big question that a teenager asks is whether it will be easy to find a job.

Undoubtedly, unemployment is a growing problem. This, to which, the technological age has displaced the repetitive jobs that required a great amount of work hours, which could be attractive for many young people. Instead, highly specialized job opportunities have emerged that demand experience. Therefore, if there are few unskilled jobs and specialized jobs require prior experience, adolescents are at a disadvantage to access a job.

The questions in the matter would be:

  • What should be the attitude of the parents of young people and girls of access age to the first job?
  • What to do when they complain that they can not find a job?
  • How to respond when they tell us that there is no point in studying because the people who do also end up unemployed?

One of the basic postulates in the current world of work is that most jobs require training.

So, is it worth studying?
Obviously yes.

Remember that, if there are possibilities for technical-professional studies, media or higher, they should not be wasted.

It is important to know that the more prepared the young person is, the more job opportunities he will have. This is true even when the preparation does not completely coincide with the professional activity.

Understanding this, the studies followed with seriousness and application broaden the horizon and make the person mature globally. And this in itself already constitutes an obvious advantage.

How can the teenager find work?

My reader friend will say that we should not be fooled by the fact that there is unemployment in this sector or in that sector. In addition, the supply of work changes constantly, so that the professional results are closed and open alternately.

Now, dear readers of all ages, who live in the chain of blocks, we know that, with the good number of young people who have finished their studies, they can not find work. In these cases, it is essential to establish certain strategies of action to achieve success in the search for employment and avoid diseases such as depression or drug addiction. Let's review some:

  • Stay engaged in training activities:

Job search, reading, sports, relationship with other young people, computer courses, languages, etc.

  • Hold on to all the positive things you have:

A family that supports him, some savings, a part-time job, a healthy lifestyle. This is very important if you experience the first signs of depression: loss of energy and interest in everything, little appetite, insomnia, feelings of guilt or inferiority.

  • Remain open to accepting jobs that are not exactly what you expect.

This fills the excess of free time, provides mental balance and helps financially while still looking for a more desirable job.

  • Consider volunteer work.

There are more and more public and private institutions: hospitals, libraries, museums, companies, foundations, churches or so-called NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that offer a volunteer service position. In this way, young people acquire experiences, become accustomed to the discipline of work, feel useful, live close professional tasks, while they come in contact with people from whom they can learn muho. All this is advantageous when it comes to obtaining a fixed and remunerated job. So much so that, in many countries, volunteering is a springboard to start in the workplace.

  • Finally, do not leave the job search at any time.

Try, go to all possible offers and stay informed about the different areas of employment. Any search system implies that, before obtaining a job, you have to receive many negatives, and this is true even for the most qualified.

Considerations for a better professional future of the adolescent.

For the rest, dear readers, young or old, it is convenient to be up to date on careers and professions with a greater future, so that, within the framework of their aptitudes and inclinations, the boy or the girl can opt for them. Academic-labor channels that best contribute to guaranteeing their adult life.

In this sense, the sectors of advanced technologies will require a significant contribution of labor in the near future. The expansion of the media and its growing variety of forms, together with the generalization of information technology, make the studies related to these fields very attractive: IT, office automation, telematics, digital electronics, telecommunications, image and sound.

In another field, public health and wellbeing, growing ecological trends, new epidemics, the spread of social marginalization and progressive specialization in medical sciences, favor academic studies, such as those related to environmental techniques, physiotherapy, applied psychology, public health and social assistance. etc.

In addition, in this same line or very close to it, agricultural and agronomic studies recover prestige due to the new emphasis on "bioculture" (use and consumption of natural products), as well as the trends of return to the rural environment. Exhaust valve for urban congestion and pollution.

Similarly, the spectacular advances in genetic engineering will lead to a parallel development of studies in this area, especially when the industrial exploitation of these advances is widespread ("transgenic" foods and clonal animals are pioneering examples in this field).

Marketing will continue to be, from the different angles in which its techniques are addressed (economics, psychology, sociology, advertising, art and graphic design, etc.), one of the focal points of employment in the present and in the coming years. . Modern economies, increasingly based on financial sectors, the concentration of companies and the ruthless competition for market shares, will continue to resort to such techniques in an increasingly sophisticated manner.

All this without forgetting that many shops and specialties of stale lineage, such as those related to housing and home conditioning (masonry, plumbing, carpentry, electricity, air conditioning, heating ...) will retain their value and social importance.

In summary, dear readers, it will be good to be as attentive and informed as possible about the evolution of the labor market, and to be aware of the greater specialization that is expected of the men and women of tomorrow.
