Is the name "university still sacred?
"Elder...If I don't pass the "famous university, my working life will be difficult, right?"
.
Hello, children, this is the season of the exam, a time when many children (including parents) are putting a lot of effort into the "chair" at the top universities in the country.
.
This fierce image of competition may seem normal in our home, but looking deeper, it reflects a large concern deeply rooted in Thai society...The concern that "university name = future"
.
Today I would like to invite you to talk about this open-cut as a brother who wants us to see the truth so that we can deal with it strongly.
----
Accept the Truth: In Thailand..."Name" (still) important
.
We can't say that "study anywhere is the same," 100% full mouth, especially in the context of Thailand.
.
We have to accept one fact that in the eyes of HR or some major companies (especially new graduates), the "university name" still serves as a Fast Pass.
.
It's a matter of Connection, juniors pulling together (SOTUS or model systems still have an effect in the working world).
.
It is a matter of credibility, the values that society views as attached here, which means that this child has a certain degree of responsibility and integrity.
.
This is a wall that we have to admit exists, and it may make us feel more tired than others at the beginning.
----
But..."Name" is not the "whole" of life.
.
The good news is...The world is rotating faster than I thought, and the wall of institutional names is gradually being broken down by so-called "skills."
.
If you take the exam where you hope...I'm glad it's a good handicap, but if you're not there,..I wanted to say, "It's not the end, sir, but it's the beginning of a new kind of struggle."
----
How to "fight back" on a pitch that doesn't seem fair.
.
If we don't have an institution name, we have to create our own seal.
.
Create an undeniable portfolio. While others show grades, we show them. Interns, projects, or leadership activities. These are always louder than the name of the university.
.
Language is the second certificate. English (or the third language) is the key to every door. If we are good at language, we can go beyond the walls of Thai companies to multinational companies that focus on performance rather than institutional names.
.
Soft Skills are the settlers. Good attitude, teamwork and enthusiasm are what HR looks for the most in the long run.
----
Nong...The name of the university may make it easier for us to get a job interview, but your ability and identity will make us "get a job" and "grow."
.
Do not let the name of the institution determine our value. If we can accept the rules of this Thai society, we just have to be diligent to improve ourselves to be so good that anyone can not overlook us.
.
I trust all of you, no matter what the shop coat or tie brooch is...The heart that fights does not retreat. Most important.
.
With understanding.

- Adecco Thailand Salary Guide: A labor market trend report that says that. Although institutions affect starting salaries in certain occupations, "language skills" and "specialized skills" have a greater impact on growth.
- JobsDB Recruiting Trends: Data suggesting that modern HR is starting to focus more on Experience and Soft Skills, even with institutional screening still in its first stages.
