Sample Essay

Nowadays, some employers think that formal academic qualifications are more important than life experiences and personal quality when recruiting new employees. Why is this case? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

In today’s contemporary world

, employers

prioritise academic qualifications over

experiences and

personality traits

for recruitment, which may be because of the requirement of knowledgeable employees.

In my opinion

this development is a negative one

as it

comprises

certain

underlying issues

[Vocabulary]

prioritise

Vt.

给予

…

优先权；按优先顺序处理

e.g.: If things get tight at any time remember that you have to prioritise your debts.

personal trait

underlying issue

潜在的问题

e.g.: In cases where these rules cannot be applied, the report will fail with an error message identifying the underlying issue.

The twenty first century world is technologically advanced and consists of open markets, where

distinct niches

have been created.

As a result

, employers now need people who

expertise in specific areas

, such as marketing, analytics, statistics and more, and academic qualifications provide proof of

technical prowess

of the candidates to the employers. For example, EY, one of the leading accounting firms has distinct

fortes

and aims to hire

explicit people

for specific roles, such as accountants for its tax and audit departments, engineers for its digital and IT departments, and lawyers for its legal departments.

explicit

adj.

e.g.: We need to persuade other sectors and systems to make equity an explicit policy objective.

Moreover, the above involves some

adverse repercussions

that

make it a negative development

as academic qualification is not

a barometer of work performance

In other words

, life experiences and personal qualities represent exposure to different situations and skills that are necessary for professionalism.

For instance

, a person may have several qualifications, but he may not be hardworking, social and a team player.

Such a person

may

face difficulty

in managing multiple tasks and conflict in working with teams, which

hamper his efficiency

and the results of the firm that he works for.

Consequently

, an employer must look for a balance between qualifications, experiences and personality traits when recruiting new employees.

In conclusion

, employers believe academic qualifications to be more

vital

than life experiences and personality

due to

their requirement of experts for the jobs,

which I believe is a negative development

as considering qualifications over the other two criteria may

result in an imbalance and lower work efficiency
