According to the data of the Ministry of Education, the number of college graduates is expected to reach 1 1.58 million in 2023, an increase of 820,000 over last year. In 2023, the number of college graduates reached a record high.
At the same time, in 2023, the number of returned overseas students in China is expected to reach about 380,000-400,000, and domestic jobs are in short supply. The domestic economic development has slowed down, and the market consumption demand has decreased. In order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, all enterprises have reduced the demand for employment. The contradiction between supply and demand is obvious, which makes the job market situation more and more severe.
Degraded academic qualifications make employment more involuted;
The data shows that in 2023, the number of master's and doctoral graduates from universities in Beijing, Shanghai and other regions will exceed the number of undergraduate graduates, and the competitiveness of undergraduate graduates in the job market will become smaller and smaller. At the same time, a large number of returned students have also returned to China to join the involuted job market, which has led to the depreciation of academic qualifications and the extremely severe employment situation.
The phenomenon of involution in employment is increasingly prominent, especially in the recruitment process of large companies: not only applicants are required to have graduated from well-known universities at home and abroad, but also qualified talents are required to be selected through multiple rounds of screening. Internship experience has also become a key factor in selecting talents for recruitment positions.
Some suggestions on the employment difficulties of college students;
1. Strive to expand the job market.
In view of the increasing pressure on the job market, college job seekers need innovative thinking, not only to find opportunities from large enterprises, but also to pay attention to some small and medium-sized enterprises, especially some emerging fields, so as to broaden the job market.
2. Improve vocational skills
Improving vocational skills can increase the market value of job seekers. In the fierce competition, having superb professional skills is an important symbol of standing out.
3. Give full play to their own advantages and accumulate social resources.
College job seekers should have good personal life and work habits, keep learning and improving, and improve their comprehensive quality. In addition, through the practice of fraternity, we can accumulate social resources, broaden job-seeking channels, and use online and offline job-seeking platforms to obtain various job opportunities and improve our employment opportunities.
4. Pay attention to domestic and international economic trends.
College job seekers should pay attention to domestic and international economic, policy and employment trends, and keep abreast of market changes and trends. In terms of policies and regulations, job seekers need to know more information and improve their coping ability.
