Invest in your skills. Build your work experience. Find your fit
投資專業技能，拓展工作經驗，找到最適合你的職業
Often, “getting a great job” is the first thing that comes to mind for recent graduates and the pressure is enormous, as it is expected that one gets a degree in X, finds a job in Y and then progresses up the ladder to point Z. Sound familiar? However, for many, this is not how the fairy tale unfolds.
對於即將畢業的年輕人，找到一份得體的工作是踏入社會的第一道高坎。雖然我們都希望按照既定目標取得學位，找到理想工作，最終一路晉升到高位。然而對於大多數人來說，現實中的路途絕不會像童話那樣順利。
There is no doubt about it, the job landscape for millennials in China is different from previous generations. Being a university graduate with high grades no longer guarantees rapid employment and as the numbers of Chinese graduates increases, young talent face tough competition to secure employment.
目前就業的主力人羣90後所面臨的就業環境和形勢已經與十年前有著巨大差異，若與上一代70後相比則更甚之。擁有高校學歷、優異成績，不再是快速就業的有效保障；隨著中國大學生的增多，畢業生也面臨著更激烈的就業競爭。
For most millennials without technical backgrounds, their degrees might not be able to provide the value they were looking for. A PwC and AIESEC （Association internationale des étudiants en sciences économiques et commerciales） survey show that 53% of millennials see a disconnection between what they have learned today versus what they will need tomorrow.
尤其是非科技類專業背景的90後畢業生，學歷帶來的價值更是有限。一項普華永道與AIESEC（Association internationale des étudiants en sciences économiques et commerciales）的聯合調查顯示，53%的90後認爲他們今日所學與未來應用所需之間缺少關聯。
However, the employment ship has not sunk. There are vast opportunities and options out there, but the secret lies in how to select and harness the best. Here are three approaches one can adopt to increase employability in today’s workforce.
所幸的是，就業形勢並沒有完全崩壞。市場仍有巨大需求和機會，但如何抓住機會、鎖定最佳選擇纔是職場成功的祕訣。以下三個方面可以更好幫助求職年輕人提升職場競爭力。
Invest time and money on self-development
自我投資
The theories and knowledge one learns during college is not enough to land a job and excel in today’s workplace. It is important to find ways to expand and complement previously developed skills.
校園傳授的理論知識通常不足以幫助學生取得足夠的工作技能和經驗，也就不足幫助他們獲得理想工作或在職場中脫穎而出。所以，如何拓寬知識維度，同時結合理論和實踐，是首要之務。
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers 20th Annual CEO Survey published in January 2017, skill sets hardest to find are emotional intelligence, leadership and innovation. Companies look for well-rounded candidates that have a combination of hard and soft skills, are team players, can solve problems and communicate effectively, both in writing and verbally.
根據普華永道2017年一月發佈的第20期年度全球CEO調查報告顯示，職場最稀缺的三類技巧是高情商、領導力和創新力。所有的企業都在尋找軟硬實力兼具的人才，換言之，人才應該善於團隊合作、解決問題，並擁有高度書面及口頭溝通能力。
In addition, understanding one’s values, aptitudes, motivations, strengths and weaknesses goes a long way to provide a solid foundation for employment and career success. This in turn can help recent graduates move beyond looking for a job to building a career.
另外，職業發展不僅僅只是找到一份工作。對個人的價值觀、能力、目標、優劣勢等有全面的瞭解和分析，對於長期的職業發展和成功有著深遠的影響和意義。
New training programmes in China with the focus on developing business savvy, problem solving and innovative young talent are gaining much attention in the market.
中國市場上，一批專注於培養年輕職場人商業悟性和銳度、問題解決能力和創新能力的培訓機構正在崛起。普華永道You Plus特訓計劃正是其中的典型範本。
Gain valuable experience
知行合一
Real world work experience is second to none when it comes to building skills and experience and this can be in the form of job shadowing or internships. These can provide both experience and contacts within industries and often translate into a job offer.
切身實戰於真實商業環境，無論是工作觀摩還是實習體驗，纔是培養商業技能的最佳途徑。只有在商業環境中的實踐，才能幫助年輕人直接對接行業領導者，獲取實戰經驗積累人脈資源，並進而轉化爲潛在的更好的工作機會。
The key word here is, valuable work experience. Aligning yourself with strong and reputable brands will help expand your network, sharpen your skills and strengthen your own personal brand. Employers will respect such experience as it demonstrates quality, strong work ethic and commitment.
當然，我們是指真正有價值的商業實踐機會和履歷。將自身與知名企業有效對接往往能提供更多的資源，真正幫助求職者拓寬交際圈、提升商業技能並提高個人影響力。同理，這些知名企業也會注重求職者履歷所體現出的整體素質、職業素養和個人責任體現等方面。
Learn how to tell a differentiated story
建立個人品牌
It is crucial for those seeking employment to build an appealing and concise story that summarizes their abilities and highlight their strengths. This skill is often overlooked, and requires developing good communication skills and good self-understanding.
面對巨大的求職壓力，想要迅速吸引企業和僱主的注意，年輕求職人需要爲自己打造一份有亮點且簡明扼要的履歷，強調自身優勢和能力。然而，打造個人履歷或建立個人品牌的能力通常被忽視，事實上這種能力需要極強的自我理解和人際交流能力。
Starting a successful career takes a time and efforts. There are no shortcuts or quick fixes to landing the perfect job. However focus, hard work and dedication will pay off. The earlier you embark on developing and investing in yourself, the clearer the career path, and the more opportunities and choices you will have.
開啓成功的職業旅程需要投入時間和精力，權宜之計或捷徑無法幫你獲得最適合的工作。反之，專注、努力和敬業才能助你成功。越早開始自我投資和發展，越能擁有清晰的職業發展和更多的職場機會。
針對進階職場中的各類挑戰，職場人需要相應對策。關注瞭解更多普華永道You Plus特訓計劃相關內容。
