Semana 4 - ¿Qué es empleabilidad?
Employability: Lessons from María, Juan, Sofía, and Carlos
María's Journey in the Corporate World
- María secured an internship at a significant Peruvian multinational company despite her initial concerns about finding pre-professional practices.
- After completing university, she remains hesitant to discuss her desire for a permanent position as an Assistant or Analyst with her boss.
Juan's Experience and Consequences
- Juan worked as a Software Development intern for a year but missed out on a promotion when the company hired an external candidate instead of him.
- His dissatisfaction led to decreased performance and attendance issues, culminating in his dismissal after committing a serious infraction.
Sofía's Growth and Career Aspirations
- Unlike María and Juan, Sofía recognized her strengths and areas for improvement; she took proactive steps to enhance her communication skills by becoming a class delegate.
- Now pursuing a Digital Marketing Assistant role, she discovered her passion for understanding client needs and developing sales strategies. She is among the 10% satisfied with both personal and professional life due to her efforts.
Carlos' Stagnation and Missed Opportunities
- Carlos has been in the same logistics position for five years; although appreciated by his boss, he hasn't pursued further training since his last one three years ago.
- Following the company's acquisition by a larger firm, he faced new demands from his boss regarding performance indicators (KPIs), which he struggled to understand.
The Diverging Paths of Employees
- While Sofía embraced growth opportunities leading to job offers, Carlos reacted negatively to constructive feedback from his boss. He began speaking poorly of him and ultimately resigned due to pressure.
