Visiting alumni footprints with peers "Abstract: With the continuous expansion of colleges and universities, the number of graduates has increased year by year, and the employment pressure is great. The overall situation of job demand in the entire job market has become more tense, and the employment situation is very severe. College students are now faced with a dilemma: should they go back to school for further study or continue to seek their place in society? In order to further understand the employment situation of college students, and also to help us college students understand more employment information and future school planning, a group of 13 people set up a summer social practice investigation team of "Visiting alumni footprints with me" in Wenzhou University, and went into Yueqing, Wenzhou, with Wenzhou University graduates as the main body, to investigate the employment situation and career development of previous graduates and seek relevant information in a point-and-line way. Keywords: employment status of previous college students, Wenzhou University, Wenzhou Yueqing private enterprise "The sunshine is always after the storm, please believe that there is a rainbow ..." The short and arduous 15-day summer social practice came to an end with the curtain of the party slowly falling. These days, 13 of us have been depressed and crying; However, we believe that, as the lyrics say, as long as we work together to survive those dark days, the sunshine will greet us with the most brilliant attitude ... Everyone knows that the current employment situation is very severe, and the employment problem of recent college students affects the hearts of the party and the country. " In 2007, the employment situation of college students in China is still grim! "At the recent 2007 National Conference on Employment of College Graduates, Zhang Xiaojian, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, gave such a judgment when analyzing the employment situation in 2007: College graduates have increased a lot, and the pressure is great, and the overall situation of job demand in the entire job market has become more tense. According to official data, in 2006, the number of college graduates in China surged to 410.3 million, an increase of 750,000 over last year, with an increase of 22%. However, only 49.865,438+0% college graduates signed the contract and were interested but did not sign the contract. In order to further understand the employment situation of college students, and to help us college students learn more about employment information and future school planning, our practice team decided to go into Yueqing, Wenzhou, the source of the development of private enterprises in Wenzhou, and go into local private enterprises, large and small, to interview previous college graduates and business executives in enterprises and collect more and more comprehensive first-hand information from them. In the practice of 15 days, we visited a large number of enterprises, and based on Wenzhou private enterprises, investigated the employment and career development of previous graduates, mainly Wenzhou University graduates. Moreover, the enterprises we visited basically included various industries (manufacturing, sales, service, etc. ) and various scales (Zheng Tai, Delixi and other large enterprises, as well as small labor-intensive enterprises), * * * recovered about 3,000 valid questionnaires. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the survey results obtained this time are quite credible. Our questionnaire mainly covers the following aspects: 1. Questions about the current work situation, 2. On the question of job satisfaction, 3. On the question of self-efficacy, that is, working ability, 4. On the question of self-expectation and enterprise expectation, 5. On employment information and employment channels, 6. The influence of exercise on employment during college, 7. Employment standards of enterprises and advantages and disadvantages of school education. 8. To what extent does career planning at school affect employment? According to our statistics, the following preliminary results are obtained: 1. Work situation At present, college students tend to be rational in choosing a job, and they can choose a job that suits them from the actual situation such as the choice of work direction and job position. Now it has gradually formed a good trend to choose a job for yourself, not for your major. So far, our statistical results show that about 34% of graduates are engaged in jobs unrelated to their majors, and only 38% of graduates are engaged in jobs closely related to their majors. Moreover, from the current social development observation, a considerable number of college students choose to find jobs after graduation, find their own economic sources based on society, and then find the most suitable job for them. According to our statistics of 3000 surveys, only about 38% of graduates have never changed jobs, while about 42% of in-service college graduates have changed more than two jobs. 2. More than half of the graduates with job satisfaction expressed satisfaction with their current jobs, while only about 5% expressed dissatisfaction with their current jobs. Among them, most of the respondents chose to live in harmony with their colleagues in the most satisfactory aspects of their current jobs, while we designed higher salaries in advance in the most dissatisfied aspects of our current jobs, which was beyond our expectation. From this, it is not difficult to find that college graduates are more and more rational in their salary requirements, and they can make more rational judgments about themselves, and they are not blindly low or excessively pursuing high salaries. In the course of our investigation, a senior once said: At the beginning, I hoped that my monthly salary would be 1 500,500 for my family, 500 for my own use and 500 for saving. After years of social exploration, there is not much demand for wages. Just prove your worth. 3. Self-efficacy refers to working ability, self-expectation and expectation of enterprises. About 97% of the graduates said that they are competent for their current jobs, but their poor practical ability and lack of certain professional skills are the main reasons for their heavy work pressure. Correspondingly, more than half of the graduates said that they most want to improve their professional skills in enterprises, while only 2 1% want to be promoted and go abroad for further study. As can be seen from the above, the graduates surveyed pay more attention to the improvement of their professional skills in their careers, rather than simply for temporary interests. From this, we deeply understand that as college students, we must pay attention to the improvement of practical ability, participate in social practice more, do more part-time jobs related to majors, and should not be limited to books and classes, but should combine professional knowledge with practice in order to adapt to society as soon as possible in the future. However, while attaching importance to the cultivation of practical ability, it is an important condition to actively learn professional knowledge and master professional skills in universities to create good employment conditions for themselves. 4. Employment information and employment channels Through the survey, the information that graduates are most concerned about when they graduate is the employment situation of their major and the employment standards of employers, which reach 36% and 20% respectively. It can be seen that college graduates hope to have an opportunity to communicate with employers. In addition, job-hunting skills have also become a hot spot of concern, which shows that it is really necessary for schools to offer employment guidance courses and employment guidance lectures. They said that it was easier to get employment information at that time through special employment lectures, employment guidance websites and campus job fairs. However, they also said that the actual effect of the campus job fair is not great (as reflected by the recruiting units), the emerging online job search and the traditional talent recruitment market are the main employment channels for graduates, and the employment through acquaintances, which follows the international example, also accounts for a certain proportion (this may be the limitation of our investigation in Wenzhou: some private enterprises in Wenzhou are family businesses, which may lead to a high proportion of employment through acquaintances). 5. The influence of exercise on employment during college shows that about 67% of graduates are student cadres during college, and the exercise of expression ability (especially in interpersonal communication and business negotiation), practical ability (especially in actual business operation) and communication ability (especially in communication with leading colleagues and business negotiation) will become the most profitable part in future work. This shows that it is of great significance to actively participate in various school activities and exercise their abilities. By being student cadres, they can gain various abilities and accumulate experience needed for future work. 6. The advantages and disadvantages of employment standards of enterprises and school education. 58% of graduates think that the overall quality of individuals is the most important thing for corporate recruiters, and another 20% think that it is professional knowledge. The innovation of practical ability and the cultivation of professional knowledge and skills are considered to be the most lacking aspects of the school (which can be mutually confirmed with the above). The reputation of the school is no longer the main factor affecting employment. "Diploma-only theory" has changed to "diploma-only theory", and "talent-only theory" has gradually emerged. The innovation of corresponding practical ability and professional knowledge is considered to be the advantage of competing with others for the same position, and the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation-the spirit of hard work has also become an advantage factor. Nowadays, in the workplace, personal quality has become the dominant factor affecting job hunting. Only by laying a good foundation in school and striving to improve one's connotation and self-cultivation can one find a satisfactory job (in fact, fate has always been in one's own hands). 7. The Impact of Career Planning on Employment Through the statistics of the questionnaire results, we can see that about half of the graduates said that they would start to consider employment in their sophomore and junior years, and about 65,438+00% of them would start to consider employment as soon as they reached their senior year or graduated. Among the career planning options in colleges and universities, only about 1 1% people know about career planning and know how to plan, while 59% people don't know about career planning. It can be seen that, at least among recent college graduates, most of them have a weak sense of career planning in universities. And most people say that the career development courses offered by the school are not very helpful. Only 9% graduates are satisfied with the career development guidance lectures provided by the school, but at the same time, 25% people said that there was no such service at that time. It can be seen that the course of career planning has not been popularized in colleges and universities, and the quality of the course is generally not high, which can not meet the needs of students. Offering career planning courses and related lectures to improve the quality of employment guidance should become an important task for colleges and universities. After this summer social practice survey, I know that what college students lack most is practice, but there are few practical opportunities in colleges and universities, which just shows the gap between mainland universities and foreign universities. At present, the reform of college education system is not strong, so we college students should make more use of their spare time in college life, go into the society and practice more, and cultivate their practical ability. While cultivating practical ability, we should also have a solid professional foundation and other related knowledge to make more preparations for stepping into society and our career.
