Welcome to my Blog!

In my country, we get all sorts of people from different country who come here to work and study. I must admit it is somehow attractive in my country due to its financial and security stability in South East Asia.

As more and more globalization takes place, people move from country to country to get employed and work. And being said so, I ponder about what employers are looking for, even though we have many nationalities working here.

And so I came to a conclusion.

In the early 1970s-1980s - Experience counts
In this period, employment was more to individual country and more or less peope were employed based on experience.

The middle working class especially, people were hired by the experience they have, and that is all to it. If you know something, and I need what you know, you’re employed, that’s it.
 
 
In the 1990s-2000s - Education chase
Then came the education certifications battle among employees. Employers used it as a guage to decide who should even be entitled an interview in a job.

As more and more people have the ability to graduate from a University, people were sub-divided into different level of education, including Honours / non-honours etc. And nowadays we are looking at Masters or even PhDs.
 
 
In the 2000s-??s - Performance matters
This is period now that we are currently looking at. I felt that emphasis on employees nowadays will tend to focus on performance, more than anything else.

If you can’t perform, you are out. That is why we see big companies cutting jobs in various sectors. This include utilising resources, and value-adding to the company. And the infamous word called multi-tasking means 1 person shouldn’t just do 2 person’s job. He/she must be able to do multiple jobs that varied from A-Z.
 
 
 
To end, I hope everyone have all three factors into consideration when you think about global as a whole. Be prepared of the worst!
