1. Degree illusion

What are the signs of future unemployment? |
Fresh graduates have little experience and don’t know what to do, but they always have a strong belief that “I won’t do anything for less than 10 million VND”. Even if they are the valedictorian of Foreign Trade University or have returned from the UK or the US, this type of person will certainly never pass the interview round. Businesses do not pay for your degree or knowledge, but for what you can contribute. In difficult times, if you apply to private companies, your degree seems to have little value.
2. Arrogant and haughty style
These are the people who always believe that after getting a bachelor's degree, they must do "worthy" jobs. They always encourage themselves: "I spent 4-5 years studying, now I have to do menial manual work like those uneducated people?". They never accept doing small jobs, considering them trivial and insignificant.
Do you know what Yahoo! CEO and Chairman Marissa Mayer used to do? She was a grocery store clerk. There are many examples like this. Talented CEOs at that time certainly did not know they would become great people, so they still had to work. Worked from school, from waiting tables to operating machines. Success may not come to those who are content with doing small jobs, but it will definitely be out of sight for those who do nothing.
3. Unrealistic type

Later when you start working, you will realize that there is no such thing as a "stable" job. |
This type of student has not yet had time to remove the rose-colored glasses when looking at life and work and day and night dreams of jobs like in the movies with good opportunities. This is the reason why they have graduated for 2-3 years but their career is still stagnant because they do not know or do not accept reality.
4. The type that likes to make excuses
"I can't do this because... I can't do that because... I did it but..." This group has some favorite words like "but", "because", "actually"... to justify their lack of ability or mental cowardice. Businesses don't hire you to listen to the explanation of "why can't you do it". They need someone who knows how to do it and knows how to take responsibility. Besides, if you always blame the situation, you will never make progress.
5. Lazy type
This type of person is young and inexperienced, but always wants to find easy, stable jobs. If they have to stay late to work overtime or work on weekends, they will be visibly upset and think they are being exploited. If you are exceptionally intelligent, people will reluctantly put up with your laziness, but if you are just average, then your first quality must be diligence.
The labor market has no place for lazy people, however, many young people today think that "if I don't do this, I'll do another" so they often "run away" after only one month of probation. Although the unemployment rate is still alarmingly high, there is still no shortage of young people wasting opportunities.

6. Conservative style
The scariest thing for businesses is to encounter people who cannot improve, cannot listen and are not receptive. They always have 1,001 types of counter-arguments and sometimes even boast that "who can talk back to me". This is the type of person who is often hated in the workplace. Remember, people can remind you up to the third time, but if you keep trying to "talk back", you know where your future will be.
7. Stability type
This group always has a strong belief in something called “stable job”, unfortunately in this rapidly changing digital age, there is no such thing as “stable” job anymore. Even government agencies are regularly cutting staff. Therefore, because of maintaining this belief, many people have graduated 3-4 years ago but still depend on their parents to look for “solid opportunities” every day.
8. "Bullshit" style
These people talk a lot, talk very well, analyze and argue at a super level, can discuss macro or micro economics, Vietnam or the world at a profound level, but when it comes to doing, they can't do anything. Reality shows that God only gives each person one specialty, people who are good at talking often have no other specialties. If you don't want to be looked down upon by your colleagues and invited to "retire" early by the company, you'd better focus on your brain and hands instead of your mouth.
9. The "mountain on this mountain and look at that mountain" style
![]() |
They work for one company but their minds are in other companies, they have not contributed anything but are always worried about finding a place with higher salary, better promotion opportunities and then quickly change jobs. They never learn and do anything properly because they do not put enough passion into their work. And few companies want to hire people who just want to quickly learn all their intellectual property and leave.
10. Passive style
These people have to wait for someone to hold their hand and "push them in the butt" before they will do anything. They are the ones who are on Facebook more than anyone else. Their inertia is extremely high, and they are not affected by praise, criticism, rewards, or punishments of all kinds. Their companion is the lazy type mentioned above.
11. The type without ambition
Not eager to learn, afraid of being exposed to new things, always afraid of being laughed at by others, self-esteem as big as a mountain but easily satisfied and unwilling to move up. This type of person joins the company and after a period of time without being fired, he quits because he sees that all his friends are now bosses, only he is still lagging behind with resentment because he is "unfairly evaluated", "his contributions are not recognized...".
12. Fragile, breakable type
These students often have extremely sensitive souls, are easily moved, easily angered and emotional in communication. Remember, in a professional environment, you should not behave like a "rookie". You have to be "tough" and know how to control your emotions. Anyone can be scolded by their boss, anyone's family can have upsetting things... the difference is what kind of face you show to society. A good person will hide his emotions inside at least until the end of working hours.

13. "Dough" type of knowledge
This type of person often possesses good skills and rich knowledge. However, they do not know how to plan and manage their career future. You easily agree to stay in a position forever without a plan for self-development.
The company does not want to hire these "dough" employees because each person needs to be self-motivated. If you work in the same position for 2-3 years, you will become experienced. But if you sit in the same chair for 5-7 years, you will be stagnant. Not everyone with seniority will be remembered and retained by the company. In the current era of rejuvenation and saving "salary costs", the more senior people are, the easier it is to be "ousted".
14. The "smart" type
Always looking for ways to benefit themselves at the expense of the company and their friends and colleagues, this type of employee is often good in the short term but extremely dangerous in the long term. If you are this type, you must either hide your personality well or change.
15. The pet type
Born to be pampered, protected, and cared for from head to toe, at home is the "darling", out on the street is also the "darling", if anything happens, parents will appear to protect, wherever you go, "dad is the ticket for you to fly far away" and "mom is the dollar bill for you to wear on your chest".
Cannot bear hardship, cannot bear suffering, cannot be independent and always have to rely on parents or cannot disobey parents.
16. The boat without a dock
Whatever, take it as it comes, see what happens, that’s what this type of student thinks. Remember, employers only hire people who have a clear plan, direction, and are motivated to develop themselves.
