JOB-SEEKING AT A YOUNG AGE

 The problems in job-seeking at a young age

There’s no doubt that job seeking can be a very difficult and even tiring task for young people who have recently started looking for a job, but, what are the reasons behind this?

First of all, young people who barely have any experience in the working field because of their age, are expected to have a working background before starting a job, which is impossible if every company expects the same of them, entering a vicious circle and making it impossible for youngsters to get started in the working area. In addition to this, in countries such as Spain, studies are very important, even crucial, for companies to hire you, which, although it makes the cultural level of the country increase, it focuses on a signed paper more than on actual talent and investment in the job. This, and the percentage of unemployment due to the lack of job vacancies in the country, are making it impossible for young people to find a job.

In conclusion, young people are facing difficult times in the working field, even with all the quality educational background they possess. This is a very alarming situation which we should pay attention to.
