How do you find a job?
Many people rely on their friends or family members to recommend a job, according to a new study. That makes a lot of sense. They are familiar with the company, with the company's value system, and with requirements that are expected of the new employee. Naturally, however, one doesn't recommend a "slacker" to a company to avoid being perceived more negatively by the employer, should a choice fail to work out. Also, one doesn't want to recommend a person to a company that is seen in itself as bad in the marktplace, or not fit for the specific employee.
What does this require from the company? They need to managetheir reputation, which would be the first call of the day. They might also want to think about providing incentives to employees who successfully recommend an employee. In order to do so, they need to do some internal employee branding. To "inculcate" the company's values into the employees. To provide a "nurturing" environment, which goes, by far, way beyond the annual salary increase or a bonus payment. Much more could be said about this.
The article in itself presents shows the different ways how young employees find their new job.
"One out of three young people in Korea, the U.S. and Russia said that they chose jobs at the recommendation of colleagues or acquaintances, it says. In the U.K., most young people trawled the classified sections of the print media for jobs, while in Germany and Sweden many picked their jobs after visiting companies. In Japan, one third of young people were referred by their schools’ career centers.
The report also found that young people in developing countries were more likely to inherit the family business than in developed countries. Some 17 to 29 percent of young people succeeded to the family business in the Philippines, Brazil, and Thailand, against only 2 to 5 percent in France, the U.K. and Japan.
Family influence on young people’s choice of work is strong all over the world, with 44 percent of Filipinos saying they got their jobs with the help of family members or relatives. Young Germans also relied more on families and relatives than on colleagues and acquaintances. In Korea, 30 percent of young people followed the opinion of their families in choosing jobs"
