Do you need a "root" to get a job in the law industry?

At the admissions and career counseling program organized by Tuoi Tre this morning, March 8, in Tien Giang, a student asked a question about the notion that to easily find a job after graduating with a law degree, the family needs someone with "roots". I would like to know what teachers think about this opinion?

MSc. Le Van Hien - Head of Training Department, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law - shared: In any profession, having relatives such as parents, siblings, uncles, etc. working in that field can bring certain advantages. That is the advantage of "family tradition".

For example, in the field of law, new graduates are often equipped with only basic knowledge, but not much practical experience. If the family has a tradition of working in the legal field, students can learn from their relatives' experiences, making the process of approaching and handling work easier.

"It cannot be denied that these are very good factors for you to be more convenient in approaching and handling work," said Mr. Hien.

However, if you think that "having roots" will make it easier to get a job, you need to reconsider.

Because currently, for many positions of civil servants and public employees in state agencies, candidates will have to go through a recruitment process. This process is currently strictly ensured, including many stages from exam questions, exam invigilation, exam grading to supervision by inspection agencies to ensure transparency and limit external influences.

Therefore, Master Le Van Hien advises candidates not to be too concerned about their "origin". If you love law, the most important thing is to focus on studying well during the four years of university to have a solid professional foundation.

In addition, students need to equip themselves with soft skills, especially foreign languages, to increase their competitive advantage. When they have enough capacity and are well prepared, job opportunities will open up without having to worry about other factors.

Which schools offer training in electric and self-driving cars?

Gia Khiem - a student at Tran Hung Dao High School - expressed his interest in training programs in new technologies such as electric vehicles and self-driving cars. He wondered about the training content, job opportunities after graduation and whether the school supports students in finding jobs?

MSc. Nguyen Hua Duy Khang - Deputy Head of Training Department of Can Tho University - said that currently many universities have training programs in automotive engineering technology. However, majors related to electric vehicles and self-driving cars are still quite new in Vietnam.

With these trends, most students will still learn the basics of automotive engineering, but the curriculum has begun to incorporate knowledge of control engineering, artificial intelligence, and other advanced technologies.

This approach helps students have a solid foundation in the traditional automotive field, while also being equipped with the necessary skills to adapt to the development of electric and self-driving cars in the future.
