VietNamNet Bridge – A lot of excellent university graduates
refuse to go on the “red carpet” laid by the local authorities to attract
talented workers.
The students who come first at
the university graduation exams are called the “talents,” while their names are
glorified at the conferences held every year at the Temple of Literature.
Vietnamese have a saying: “Hien
tai la nguyen khi quoc gia” (Talented and righteous people are the
(life-sustaining element of the nation). However, a lot of the “talented and
righteous people” refuse to serve in state agencies.
The policies lag behind the times
Right after Nguyen The Ninh, a
student of the Trade University, successfully defended the university
graduation thesis, he was informed that his name had been found in the list of
the valedictorians who would attend at a ceremony to glory talented university
graduates.
Ninh said he took pride of the
high achievements he has obtained and he felt happy when standing among the
most excellent university graduates. However, he keeps indifferent to the
recruitment preferences offered to him.
“At that moment, I still did not
hear anything about the city’s policy on prioritizing to recruit valedictorians
for the state agencies,” Ninh explained.
“The job preferences were offered
just two months after the graduation. However, I did not care about that,
because I had been following my way for the last many years already,” the
valedictorian of the Trade University in 2007 said.
Majoring in marketing, Ninh once
planned to take a job at an import-export company in Hanoi. But he changed his
thoughts later. Ninh decided to become a university lecturer, the job that
would give him more chances to study and upgrade his knowledge.
Ninh has been following the way
he chose for the last few years, and he believes that he made a right decision
when refusing the opportunity to work at Hanoi’s state agencies.
Ninh has obtained the master
degree in marketing, and he now prepares to continue studying for a doctorate.
The preferences valid for one year only
Do Thu Trang, the valedictorian
of the Hanoi Open University, has been succeeding in both study and works.
Graduating the university with the “excellent grade” degree, Trang got a good
job as an auditor of a finance consultancy firm which offers high pay and
friendly working environment.
However, Trang still wishes to
learn more and obtain bigger achievements. She is now attending a training
course to obtain the master degree in business administration. Trang has also
left the auditing firm for a foreign company, which offers better pay and high
promotion opportunities.
When asked about the job
preferences offered by the city authorities, Trang said she feels the
preferences do not fit her. “Accountancy – my major – is not among the branches
the city prioritizes,” she explained, adding that she nearly cannot see any
opportunities.
Talking about the talent glory
ceremony at the Temple of Literature, Trang said it was a wonderful event and
the memory about which would exist for ever.
“After the ceremony, we were
delivered a “decision to reward talented university graduates,” which were
considered the “admission tickets” to state agencies,” Trang recalled the
event.
“However, the decision would be
valid for one year only. Meanwhile, I do not need the preferences,” she added.
