The competitive market hardens the job hunting in technology and information field. This is also triggered by Asia-Pacific Cooperation Pact in the next 2015, which states that Indonesia has to escalate its human resources quality. "Communication and information technology validation is important. That's what Indonesia has to be concerned about," said Ismail Syah. In the future, international market competition will become tougher; hence young designer is recommended to have an Adobe certification.
