Career start
One year from now, I hope that I have gotten a foothold in an engineering company and thereby can begin to build up my experience in the industry. Right now it seems quite difficult to get a chance for the competition is murderous. But I feel like it's getting more and more jobs out there that can be queried and the chance to get a job should also increase. At first, I think you may take the jobs you can get and then take a step towards what you really want.
Now it seems that your chances is quite few, as the employer’s will go for the more experienced ones and not the "freshman" that you are, it feels a bit locked in a way. I think that the government should encourage much more economical to employ young people to facilitate. It is the employer's market now, as they say. I suppose they have a lot to pick from which is good for them.
However, the future looks bright for us engineers if you believe what the media says. Many engineers will retire and hopefully make way for us young engineers. The future for economists, pharmacists, etc. didn’t look very promising as it’s expected to be a surplus of labor in their fields. If it would turn out as predicting, it is probably important to be really passionate about what you do. I wish the best of luck but on the other hand people have turn out to be totally wrong before and Sweden isn’t the only country in the world that you can work in.
Maybe someone can enlighten me about this: Are there any regulations on the number of places on a program depending on how the future looks like or is it just how popular the education is?

Well to be honest, i feel the exact way. Im currently writing my thesis and i cant help to feel this "fear" of not finding a job or not fulfilling my future employer need. At the sametime the media isn't helping either, the countless information about the market where they one day say something and the other day the opposite. But if you think logically, when something is at it's bottom it cant go nowhere but up. Hopefully this involves the labour market. And about your last part, i really have no clue.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are right when you say it does not look good in the market but we do not need to think about it all the time because the new forecasts coming all the times. What you have to do is looking for jobs all the time, otherwise there are still other possibilities such as student life another year. It will probably be fine later.
ReplyDeleteI must agree with all of you on the "not looking good at the work front"-part. I am currently studying my final semester at the Information System department at the University of Karlstad and have begun looking for jobs. All job ads have the same irritating sentence in the knownledge requirements:
ReplyDelete"-at least three years experience..."
My question to all employers are with what we as students are going to compete with when we lack this experience?
Hopefully as you all write the wind will turn and more jobs will be available. Hopefully soon...
