  "account": "Over 1,000 students applied for 10 graduate positions at Gjensidige, a leading insurance company in Norway, signaling the increasing difficulty for young job seekers. Martin Halvorsen, Director of Brand, Sign and Talent, explained that only 1% of applicants - ten students - would secure a position. Gjensidige also offers four internships for students to gain work experience, but expects an even higher number of applicants next summer due to fierce competition.\n\nHR intern Amalie Frogner Sverre expressed that the number of applicants is likely to rise dramatically. Halvorsen attributes the intensifying job market and factors such as economic uncertainty and the rise of artificial intelligence as reasons for the challenges faced by young job seekers. He emphasized the importance of maintaining entrance points for young talent in the workforce to prevent a downward spiral in the economy and society.\n\nHalvorsen and Sverre, along with Gjensidige's Chief Human Resources Officer Siri Langangen, are concerned about the decreasing number of opportunities for graduates. They believe that companies such as Gjensidige must continue to hire young people despite the challenges. They urged other companies and sectors, including the public sector and educational institutions, to share the responsibility of providing students with practical experience during their studies.",
