AI - A new challenge for young people when looking for a job.

The explosion of AI poses new challenges for young people: those who know how to leverage the technology to make themselves stand out, and those who are "filtered out early" because they are not different enough.

Within that gap, proactiveness, creative thinking, critical thinking, and information filtering skills are all crucial factors in avoiding being "defeated" by AI.

When technology changes the job search journey

Episode 1 of the Voices of Galaxy series – Samsung's inspirational film series "Rising with Vietnam" – left a lasting impression with its story of Vy, a recent graduate struggling in her job search, from feeling lost to daring to try a new approach thanks to the support of Galaxy AI and Gemini Live. Simply by analyzing her CV, suggesting strengths, pointing out weaknesses, and encouraging her to create a self-introduction video , the AI ​​tool helped Vy transform her unremarkable image into personality, and her anxiety into confidence. However, this story reflects a broader reality: the job market is more competitive than ever, and AI is becoming a catalyst that both opens doors and places additional pressure on the younger generation entering the workforce.

The first episode of the Voices of Galaxy series will air on the Samsung Vietnam YouTube channel on September 22, 2025.

Job market: Many opportunities but also many challenges.

Looking at the figures, it is clear that the competitive landscape is not easy to navigate. According to the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City, in the period 2021 - 2025, the city needs about 310,000 - 330,000 jobs [1] each year, of which 135,000 to 140,000 are completely new positions. In the first quarter of 2024 alone, a survey of 14,300 businesses showed that the demand for people with a university degree or higher accounted for 21.3%. This number shows both great opportunities and pressure when tens of thousands of students graduate each year and compete for jobs that are not abundant.

In technology fields such as UI/UX design or Product Design, salaries range from 5 million to 60 million VND/month depending on experience, according to Telos report[2], but this comes with increasingly high skill requirements, from product thinking to the ability to quickly adapt to new technologies. The job market is not lacking in opportunities, but the door is always open only for those who are outstanding enough.

Having many tools doesn't necessarily guarantee a satisfying experience.

The widespread use of AI seems to give today's younger generation a significant advantage over previous generations. They have virtual assistants at their disposal that can edit resumes, simulate interviews, and even suggest new skills. However, having a wealth of tools doesn't necessarily mean the job search process is easier. On the contrary, as AI becomes the norm, the pressure to stand out is even greater.

A resume now has to pass not only human screening, but also automated filtering. An interview requires not only fluent answers, but also creativity and a unique identity that AI cannot imitate. The essence of the job search journey and self-discovery—knowing what you want and knowing how to tell that story—remains unchanged.

Embracing AI: An opportunity for those who dare to take initiative.

The most important message that Voices of Galaxy wants to convey through Vy's story is not that AI will do everything for her, but rather how a young person dares to proactively try, dares to change, and dares to be different. It is this spirit that is the decisive factor in an increasingly fierce job market.

Once a solid foundation of self-awareness is established, technology becomes a powerful tool. Galaxy AI and Gemini Live, with their deep understanding of Vietnamese, can help each candidate highlight their unique story, boost confidence, and expand opportunities. However, AI only delivers its maximum value when users are proactive, willing to learn, and constantly adapt.

Young people use Galaxy AI and Gemini Live to explore themselves.

Episode 1 of Voices of Galaxy concludes with the image of an ordinary girl, yet brave enough to make a change. In a fiercely competitive job market, where university graduates account for over 20% of hires but the number of graduates is even greater, the message becomes clear: opportunities won't come automatically, but you can create them. Technology doesn't replace human ambition, but it amplifies the actions of those who know how to act. And that is the deepest meaning of "rising with Vietnam" in the age of AI: a generation that dares to be proactive, dares to leverage technology, and dares to write their own success story to develop alongside the country.

Continuing the "Honoring Vietnamese Values" message conveyed in the first half of 2025, Samsung is delving deeper into encouraging practical actions, empowering extraordinary, silent efforts to have their voices heard, and inspiring each individual to strive for greater heights through the Voices of Galaxy campaign.

Voices of Galaxy is an inspiring film series featuring 10 stories, 10 voices of individuals from diverse backgrounds who are embarking on their own unique journeys of self-improvement, supported by Galaxy AI and Gemini Live. The campaign aims to inspire Vietnamese people to take bold steps towards development, innovation, and action, elevating and spreading national values ​​so they can shine brighter on the global stage.
