Mantan Perdana Menteri Singapura Lee Kuan Yew mengungkapkan kekhawatirannya atas serbuan 7 juta tenaga profesional dari China ke berbagai negara di Asia Tenggara. Ini tentu akan menambah sesak profesional tenaga kerja yang berada di Asia Tenggara. Pada tahun 2015 telah disepakati pelaksanaan ASEAN Community, artinya tidak ada batas lagi antar negara di kawasan ASEAN termasuk perpindahan tenaga kerja dari setiap negaranya.
Masih tingginya angka pengangguran di Indonesia dari golongan Sarjana tentunya menyisakan pertanyaan dibenak kita, yaitu apakah pengangguran disebabkan “tidak adanya lapangan kerja” ataukah “kualitas tenga kerja sarjana produk universitas di Indonesia tidak sesuai kebutuhan pasar”?.
Saat ini sudah sering kita temui tenaga kerja asing dari berbagai negara di perusahaan asing, termasuk bank-bank yang mayoritas dimiliki oleh asing.
Kemampuan “hardskil” dan “softskill” menjadi sangat berperan terhadap kesuksesan karir seorang pekerja. Pada tingkatan jabatan tertentu, kesuksesan karir ditentukan oleh 70% softskil dan hanya 30% hardskil.
