At the heart of the fourth industrial revolution is information technology (IT) and the Internet of Things (IoT), which not only helps people communicate with people, but also people communicate with machines, people communicate with objects, and objects communicate with each other.

Therefore, countries that want to enter this industrial revolution require a high-quality human resource capable of applying scientific and technological advances of the revolution into production practices to meet development requirements.

Therefore, right from university, students must proactively accumulate knowledge about information technology.,Only by proactively updating and promptly applying the world's latest scientific and technological advances into life will we have the opportunity to compete for jobs and open the door to enter the globalized playground.

Good foreign language - expand career opportunities

Improving foreign language skills is a necessary requirement. The ability to use foreign languages ​​will create opportunities for us to access foreign news, books, documents, and communicate with international friends to exchange and learn about the cultures of the world and absorb human knowledge.

Amid the "multinationalization" trend of companies, knowing at least one foreign language will help you stand out, easily get a job that suits your abilities and qualifications, and searching for recruitment information will open up many attractive positions.

However, it must be emphasized that learning a foreign language is not simply about knowing vocabulary and efficiency, meaning that the foreign language learner must also learn the culture of another country to have appropriate expressions. An English teacher once said: "It is impossible to teach a foreign language if the person does not understand the culture of that country." Likewise, learning a foreign language must also be associated with a certain correct purpose, which is to serve study, work, communication and healthy entertainment.

Proficient soft skills - advantage in integrating into the working environment

Soft skills is a term used to refer to important skills in human life, often not learned in school, not related to professional knowledge. However, soft skills determine who you are, how you work, and are a measure of high efficiency in work.

Studies have shown that soft skills determine 75% of a person's success, while hard skills (or knowledge, professional level) only account for 25%. The key to real success is to know how to skillfully combine both of these skills.

Soft skills include: communication, teamwork, partner selection, presentation skills (showing and applying intelligence, technology, courage), time management... In particular, time management skills help students not to get lost in social networks, entertainment and work ineffectively, reducing productivity. During the learning process, you need to exploit and develop your potential to the fullest. Participate in exciting extracurricular programs, clubs, classes... where you can practice soft skills.

In addition, you also need to participate in social work to know how to share your abilities and wealth with society. Relationships are important, they are like a big library. When you need something, you will go to that library and open it, you will find a way to solve your difficulties and questions. Therefore, building relationships from your student days by participating in social activities of clubs or groups... is a way to accumulate knowledge, experience and importantly, good relationships.

Practical work experience - the secret to impressing employers

Businesses often require experienced candidates, which is why many university graduates often fail to meet the requirements. On the contrary, many new graduates have a good CV with a lot of experience, and they quickly adapt to the business environment while still in university.

Accordingly, the internship is a great advantage to help students overcome the rigorous recruitment process as well as not be surprised when starting work. Because the internship is the best time for students to gain experience in the field they are interested in. Basically, the internship process is similar to the training process for a new employee in the company.

In addition, if you want to gain more work experience during the course, a part-time job that is suitable for your major or interests will help you learn a lot because in the process of working, it is inevitable that there will be "collisions" and you will gain more experience to handle those situations. These experiences will help you make a good impression on the employer.
