A Review in Personality-Based Recommendation for Graduate Marketability
Abstract
The issue of marketability is a hot topic. This is due to the rising rate of underemployment over the years. Furthermore, as a direct consequence of national and global economic changes, the COVID-19 pandemic has expanded this percentage even more. Employers are extremely strict when it comes to the selection of employees based on this tendency. In addition to academic excellence, the personality factor is used as a screening method for employees. In previous research, researchers have conducted several synthesis and methodical evaluations of the literature to evaluate the association between personality and marketability factors of prospective graduates. According to the findings of a systematic review of the literature, referencing the CareerEDGE Model could be used as a basis for marketability. Furthermore, the emphasis on Shapero and Shokol's Entrepreneurial Event Theory demonstrates graduates' preparedness to enter the job market. Commonly dialog, personality influences marketability through adaptation, motivation, and excellent work performance in full compliance with the order to function successfully established by the organisation.
