Before entering the society, college students are always full of illusions, thinking that they can find a good job by themselves. But many times, it is precisely because of their blind self-confidence and lack of a correct view of employment that it is difficult for college students to find jobs.
Common psychological obstacles in college students' employment
Many students always think that they can find a particularly good future and prospect without the ivory tower, but the reality is often different from the dream. In fact, many college students have some common psychological obstacles in employment, which will also pose a threat to their mental health if they are not properly solved.
The process of graduates' employment is a very complicated psychological change process. Under the overall situation of the current economic crisis, facing the severe employment situation and numerous competitors, it is impossible for college students to succeed in employment without adequate psychological preparation and good competition. How should college students make psychological preparation before employment and eliminate psychological interference? Experts suggest that college students should focus on overcoming the following common psychological barriers to employment.
1. Blind confidence
Many students feel that they have many advantages, such as good academic performance, superior political conditions, famous school brands and strong professional needs. They are blind and confident in their choices and set high goals, but in the end they have high self-evaluation and lack of understanding of themselves, which leads to employment difficulties.
2. Inferiority and timidity.
Some students have successfully gone through college for four years, and they also have certain strength and advantages. In the face of fierce competition, they feel that this is not enough, not as good as others. Their inferiority complex makes them lack the courage and confidence to compete. When they enter the job market and attend job interviews, they feel scared and uneasy. Once you give up halfway and lack psychological endurance, you feel that you really can't do it. In the fierce employment competition, this psychological obstacle is the enemy of success and must be overcome seriously.
3. The psychology of quick success and instant benefit.
Some students pay too much attention to status and welfare in employment. They just want to go to big cities, big institutions, developed coastal areas, and units with more money and better treatment. Even for the sake of temporary utility, they would rather give up their majors than their hukou or welfare. This kind of psychology may give you some immediate benefits and satisfaction, but it is not a wise choice in the long run.
4. Be swayed by considerations of gain and loss.
Career choice is often a grasp of opportunities. If you miss the opportunity, you will miss the success. When there is no stop loss, there are gains and losses. This is a psychological obstacle that leads many graduates to fall into the misunderstanding of employment.
It is not difficult to see that we should treat the common psychological obstacles in college students' employment with a peaceful attitude. Remember not to be negative and pessimistic, because this kind of psychological mood is definitely not conducive to future job hunting. Finally, I hope everyone will be cautious and plan ahead.
Several psychological obstacles to college students' employment
Many people are still exhausted under the pressure of stop-and-go interviews. But I still can't find a job in the end. Running around every day, the work is still fruitless. In fact, the reason why I can't find a job is because of psychological obstacles in job hunting and some problems in psychological job hunting strategies.
False and impetuous job interview
Facing your job fair, college students don't always apply for jobs in the same way. Submitting resumes is like handing out leaflets. As the saying goes, floating will show, impatience will be urgent. Fake academic qualifications, fake diplomas, fake certificates, beautifully bound fake resumes and even superficial talents of all colors are "packaged". There are "rules" and "distance" in college interviews. First of all, it is most important to keep students' true colors, introduce themselves clearly and concisely, and answer questions accurately. Then, be honest with your shortcomings, not avoid them.
Adhere to the "correct collocation" when choosing a job.
Many people like to divide their jobs according to their family situation. For example, Peking University and Tsinghua should correspond to big international companies such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard, but this makes a large number of unsuccessful people lose their souls and even give up on themselves. College students should not have such a family concept when looking for a job. As the saying goes, heroes don't ask the source, and the door to job hunting is open to every college student, but overestimating or underestimating themselves will lead to a sense of loss.
Career ideal becomes an excuse.
College students who can't find suitable jobs are often willing to complain about things they don't like and things they can't use. When you can't find a job in "interest", you must learn to find "interest" in your work.
Employment only reaches out.
When college students choose jobs after graduation, there is a common psychological misunderstanding: they think that after more than ten years of hard work, they have finally achieved academic success, and it is time to "reach out" to the society for the next job, and feel that they should get and gain. This psychological orientation will first cause inadaptability to the environment, such as stopping when you encounter difficulties at work and then complaining.
Honesty is golden. Universities should be honest and relative when applying for jobs, and don't inflate their values and experiences in vain, trying to win the company's application through fraud. Moreover, the psychological barrier for college students to find a job is because they are too narrow-minded. Everything in this society is explored step by step, and you don't have to stick to a few years of professionalism.
Correct employment should have these mentality.
Many college students think that they can be "fearless" as soon as they leave school, but they don't know that the place where they just came for an interview is a blow, which can be described as the great success of dream catchers. With the growth of college students in recent years, employment has become a problem that cannot be ignored, so the employment mentality has emerged.
First of all, we should take the initiative to apply for a job, not passively "wait, rely on and want". Many graduates pin their hopes on social relations resources, and the phenomenon of "family mobilization" appears. Some graduates expect to rely on schools to solve the employment problem.
Secondly, we should get rid of the traditional concept of employment and realize diversified employment. When choosing a job, college students are often under the pressure of traditional ideas and psychology from society and family. They still regard staying in big cities and getting an "iron rice bowl" as their first choice. Many college students tend to choose foreign companies, joint ventures and other higher-paying jobs, and rarely choose the west and grassroots, which makes employment a "single-plank bridge."
Finally, avoid blind pursuit and know yourself correctly. Higher education in China is in the transition period from "elite education" to "mass education". Some contemporary college students lack crisis consciousness and blindly pursue high level and high salary in employment, which leads to the phenomenon of "getting together" in employment types and fields, resulting in the disconnection between supply and demand, which is also one of the reasons for the difficulty of college students' employment.
Treat every job you get as temporary.
90% of the workforce (at least in the United States) is not independent, so it is very likely that you will end up working for someone else. How long the work lasts depends on them, not on you. As long as they are willing, your work may be suspended at any time without any prior warning. This is true to some extent, especially now. It depends on the nature of the current job market. Therefore, when looking for a job, you must tell yourself, "The job I am looking for is essentially a temporary job, and I don't know how long I can do it. Therefore, this is by no means my last job application. I have to be ready to apply for another job at any time. " This is the idea that newcomers in the workplace should have. Cherish your dream job with gratitude. It may not last long, but when you have it, you must taste it and enjoy it.
See every job you find as an opportunity to learn.
In essence, almost every job you find today is constantly moving and changing, and its speed makes you have to regard the job you are looking for as an experience of your own study and exercise, and as an enrollment of a learning class. If you want it to be your dream job, you must like learning new tasks and workflows. Master of psychology in the workplace. When applying for a job, emphasize to everyone who may be your employer how eager you are to learn new knowledge and technology, and you learn quickly.
Treat every job you find as an adventure.
Most of us like to take risks. Adventure means a series of unpredictable mysterious events. This is today's work! Strength, desire, wrong choice, strange alliance, betrayal, reward and so on. Suddenly, changes that no one can predict in advance unfold before your eyes. If you regard it as a dream job, then face the unpredictable things with enthusiasm, excited rather than afraid.
Understand that the pleasure and satisfaction of every job you find must lie in the job itself.
No matter how carefully you study what you are going to do when applying for a job, you may end up finding a job only with a boss who has no vision and talent. The boss can't see your outstanding contribution, which makes you feel lost and unloved. So, if this is your dream job, it must be a job that can make you find satisfaction from your work.
