Every 6. The Pole admits that he happened to overstate his competences in the CV – according to the NO Fluff Jobs study. Young employees do it especially often.
As the study conducted for the needs of the report “skills in the labor market” No Fluff Jobs, as much as 61 percent. professionally active Poles admits that he feels the pressure of the development of competence to maintain his competitiveness on the labor market. I do not feel such a need for 14 percent. respondents.
Polish employees under pressure. Especially young
The youngest participants of the labor market, i.e. people aged 18-24 (76 percent), feel the greatest pressure on the development of competences, but-as the creators of the report notice-in each age group this percentage is over 50 percent.
– We know from today that people who are constantly developing and are able to adapt to the changing expectations of companies have a better chance of the labor market. The candidates feel the growing requirements of employers, and today you wait even several months for employment, so from their perspective, continuous raising of qualifications can be a pass for better work. But, as NO FLUFF JOBS research shows, it is not a diploma or certificate that is most often this pass, because the recruiters first pay attention to professional experience and practical competence – emphasizes Tomasz Bujok, CEO No Fluff Jobs.
– So it seems that every attempt to do something “more” like additional internships, internships at the beginning of a career, their own project after hours or contracting work outside the main full -time job, can tilt the scales in our favor – he adds.
