Speaking exercise

I think currently the unemployment rate is going higher because of the weakened economic. I personally have not experienced unemployment but the people around me I saw have experienced unemployment. Compared to the previous years the compensation solution is not as good as previous years. The unemployed person used to get 6 months salaries as compensation, it means if you have worked for the bank for three years then you can get a package for a 9 month salary. this is the solution for the passed two years, but this year an unemployed person received 3 months salary which is 3 months less than the previous years.

First I think the qualified employee should have the professional knowledge and skills to meet the job requirements. Second he or she should be a quick learner, no one can know everything when they start a new job but there will be a big difference from whether you can learn or whether you can learn proactively. And the third thing that I think is important is that you can collaborate and communicate with your partners. You need to communicate with your clients, partners or boss. So good communication can make the job achieved efficiently. Last but not least, is the personality: integrity respect to others, these kind of basic personality is also important.
