DISCOVER THE JOB LEVEL YOU WILL FIT FOR BY HOW YOU LEARNT OR ARE LEARNING IN SCHOOL

There are many contributing factors to the issue of graduates’ unemployability aside the fact that schools are not well equipped to canter for the developmental processes of their students in terms of knowledge acquisition and skills development. The fact about most unemployable graduates is not that they are not serious with their studies back in school. In fact, many of them are bright enough to be fitted for any job position based on their academic results and qualifications which are the evidence of their seriousness in school.

However, what most graduates are not cognizant of is that, first, there three different levels of job in the same sector as it is explained in this post UNDERSTANDING THE THREE LEVELS OF JOB, and second, there are different ways of learning to be perfectly fitted for a certain level of job which you are going to discover in this post. Our research on this subject shows that 85.6% of those graduates include some with First class honours who didn’t have this understanding while in school will likely fit only for lowest level of job in their choosing sectors. And since they have built themselves only to be fitted for lowest level of job responsibilities in their chosen sectors, they will hardly be considered employable into the higher level. This is why most graduates are considered unemployable: not that they not actually competent at all, but that they are not competent enough for higher responsibility, and this is caused by how they learnt and acquired their skills back in school.

So how do you learn to be fit for any of the following job levels: Maintenance job, Problem solving job, and Hidden aspect accessing job? Read these posts UNDERSTANDING THE THREE LEVELS OF JOB and UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE THREE LEVELS OF JOB for better understanding of the levels.

·         Maintenance job: People here only read through the existing information; paying attention only to how things are said can be done by authorities such as, teachers, lecturers and authors, and how things are being done in a sector. They are mindless of the fundamental connections and interactions between different structures and patterns within a sector. They are the kinds of people with let-me-just-read-and-pass-my-exam mentality. They learn to maintain status quo by cramming facts about normalcy of things. They are mostly carefree about intensive study.

·         Problem solving job: People here learn within school and libraries. They pay attention to details within the established structures and patterns – taking note of the fundamental arrangement of things, especially on how they relate and work together that they could tell from afar exactly what and where things go wrong within a structure. They don’t only read to pass school exam, but also to know and understand. They also memorize facts, but not so much carefree.

·         Hidden aspect accessing job: People here learn just as those in problem solving division learn, but take it a bit much further beyond that level. Having learnt how it is being done through formal school and libraries, they move on to observation, through which they observe how things are said to work and how they truly work and how they won’t work, and experiment by which they conduct practical test based on their observations to see what happens through which they attain new knowledge. They are the kinds that learn through school of life. They are not in haste and don’t follow general opinion.

How are you learning about that sector you have chosen to work? Just understand that whichever way you are learning now, will determine your job level tomorrow which in turn determines what you get as a reward for the work you do.
