The text explains why new graduates find lots of difficulties on getting hired. Its said that studies are very important to get a good job but for university grands, to apply for a job becomes a really difficult purpose. More than a hundred graduates from the University of Westminster sent their CVs to UK employers and only sixteen of them were called for an interview. This happens because employers give more importance to work experience and technical skills instead of studies and qualifications. For this reason, university grads use to create a website explaining their skills to have more possibilities of being hired. Skills that are really important to get a job are written and oral communication, critical thinking and analytical reasoning. Furthermore, the kind of work experience you have becomes decisive too when hiring new employees. Its different to have worked on specific projects than to have got coffee to everyone. Employers say that students dont have the ability to think critically, innovate, solve complex problems and work well in team. Graduates only have theoretical skills but they dont have practical skills and thats why they dont get hired easily. To help this people finding a job, there are some curricula designers and specialized people that work to help them developing their skills, doing their CV and teach them how to cause a good feeling to the employers in an interview.
