Many students entered this major before the college entrance examination for the golden signboard of "Communication Engineering", and after entering the university, a large number of people will feel confused or worried about the future. We clearly felt this emotion from the letters from readers. In fact, on the eve of 3G implementation, experts in human resources think that the "second spring" of the communication industry is coming, but at the same time, they also think that this spring can't catch up with the last time, but it only moistens those who are prepared.
Many students are also confused about the salary level of the communication industry: why do graduates complain that it is difficult to find a job, while communication is a high-paying industry? In fact, only big R&D companies like Huawei and ZTE have high salaries. Even if it is the same position of the same operator, the treatment of branches all over the country may be very different and cannot be described in general. So I can only list a few companies with relatively good treatment to introduce their approximate salary standards. In most small and medium-sized enterprises and branches of operators, the treatment of new employees can not reach this level. Huawei: the monthly salary of new employees is 3500-4000, and the subsidy is 1000 (Shenzhen Bantian); UT Starcom: The monthly salary of new employees is about 5,500, and the subsidy is nearly 2,000 (Shenzhen Science Park). Huizhou Telecommunications Bureau: The monthly salary of new employees is 2000-3500, the subsidy is 300, and the year-end bonus is about 20,000 (Jiangbei, Huizhou).
Communication technology research and development personnel
Career path: R&D personnel → R&D engineers → senior marketing or management personnel.
Talent market: A few years ago, the communication industry was in the spring, and the R&D field provided many high-paying positions. Even today, R&D positions of well-known enterprises such as Huawei, ZTE and UT Starcom are still very competitive. However, such companies and positions are too few compared with the increasing number of graduates in our major every year.
The reasons are not only the decrease in the demand for talents directly brought about by the scale of the communication industry and the stagnation of market development, but also the attitude of colleges and universities towards the setting of communication majors: "Go if conditions permit." In fact, many schools do not have the strength to offer this major. The key lies in teachers and experimental equipment. But even so, we should not lose heart. After all, as far as our major is concerned, it is difficult for undergraduates to meet the employment requirements of enterprises once they graduate. Therefore, the criteria for many enterprises to select new employees are "solid professional foundation, open mind, good English and a little creativity."
Analysis and suggestion: "The university can get graduation certificate, degree certificate, band 6 and computer certificate in four years, and everything else depends on mixing." There is a popular view among graduates nowadays. I personally don't think so. At least graduates majoring in communication will take a major in most companies. Just like in the school exam, you can cram for the exam, but I have a deep understanding of how good the effect is: I took the recruitment exam for the first time after graduation that year, and the seven questions involved analog circuits, digital circuits, mobile communications, high-frequency electronic circuits and C language. The topic is very basic, but it covers a wide range, so you can't solve the problem before the exam. Even if you get away with it, because he may ask you carefully about your solution ideas in the next interview (later the supervisor told me that ideas are more important than answers).
More importantly, they won't give you the key points before the exam like your teacher. As long as you show a little professional skills in the test paper, your application can be said to be "over".
Key courses: circuit theory and application, computer technology, signal and system, electromagnetic field theory, digital system and logic design, digital signal processing, communication principle, etc. The specialized course of assembly and composition principle is still necessary and can be used in practical work. We can't be required to be proficient in every subject, but at least we should know it like the back of our hand. You can choose two or three courses you are interested in to learn the proficient part.
About English. The relationship between communication engineering and English is not particularly close, but most of the well-paid communication companies are foreign companies. Even a domestic-funded enterprise like Huawei will require CET-6 when recruiting. When faced with a particularly large choice, enterprises will naturally raise the entry threshold.
About creativity. The creativity here can actually be explained as novel ideas and design development consciousness. Therefore, compared with other activities organized by the school, it is a good exercise for us to participate in such activities as the electronic design competition. Remember, when writing a work or an award-winning design on your resume, you should carefully prepare the design ideas, including the problems in the design process, as well as the solutions and principles. If you have a good understanding of single-chip microcomputer and circuit, you can try to make a board yourself to prepare for the development of single-chip microcomputer after graduation, and then accumulate experience in your work and learn embedded system knowledge. This technical route is more suitable.
Technology going to market (management) is the home of many R&D personnel. Because with the growth of age, the learning ability declines, coupled with the bottleneck of R&D department's work design and strong technical foundation, engineers are choosing to do technical support, customer service and management of technical departments for a period of time (technical background has obvious advantages for this management: in such a high-tech department, who will serve a leader who can't even read the circuit diagram? )
Finally, on the eve of 3G, if you can master the basic knowledge of this technology, it should be of great benefit to employment. Here, on the basis of 10 years of communication technology training, we recommend a certified Motorola Institute of Technology to launch a social-oriented wireless communication technology course system-MCNE (Motorola Certified Network Engineer/Motorola Certified Wireless Network Engineer) course series, as well as the relevant wireless talent certification standards and (for recommendation only, please judge and choose carefully according to your own situation. )
Sales staff of communication products
Career path: sales assistant → sales engineer → sales (marketing) manager.
Talent market: the demand is large, and the requirements for professional skills are not particularly deep, which is suitable for ordinary undergraduates. The most important thing is to have enough room for career development. If it really doesn't work, you can switch to other industries and continue to do sales.
Analysis and suggestions: including the sales of various upstream equipment and communication equipment. For the sales of upstream equipment, enterprises attach great importance to professional background when recruiting, so they must have a comprehensive understanding of some basic professional courses of communication. I suggest that those students who want to do sales practice before graduation, and it is unwise to try to compete with marketing students in sales expertise. We should strengthen the core advantages of professional background.
In addition, it is natural to cultivate communication ability, marketing ability and planning ability. There are many students in the university who disdain to work in the student union. Actually, I don't know if you can learn anything else there. It is a good way to cultivate your communication and organizational skills, especially when you have achieved a certain position through your own efforts. As for reading professional books on sales, I personally think it is better to read professional magazines and newspapers. The former is almost pure theory and blunt, while the latter is theory plus practice.
What you can start preparing at school is to learn to do marketing planning. You can download some excellent planning and planning projects online, which you must use in your work, and some companies may also use these contents in the written test. Finally, regular planning can help you form a good habit: always organize your thoughts and analyze things in an orderly way.
The following is the announcement of a famous foreign communication equipment manufacturer recruiting sales engineers. You can refer to the conditions, compare with your own situation one by one, find out the gap, and then start to make a capacity building plan.
Recruitment position: senior sales engineer
Responsibilities: Responsible for the planning and implementation of sales activities in the sales area, and achieve sales targets; Maintain and develop customer relationships to effectively promote R&D; Radio monitoring products; As a technical consultant, show products to customers and provide complete solutions (through pre-job training).
Requirements: Bachelor degree or master degree, majoring in communication engineering; Familiar with wireless communication technology and its solutions; Excellent interpersonal communication and business negotiation skills; Like challenging work and have a strong desire for success; There are six levels of spoken and written English.
Telecom operator employees
Career path: employee → supervisor → middle and senior managers.
Talent market: The entry threshold for service posts among operators is relatively low, so in some areas, the talents of companies such as China Mobile and China Unicom are close to saturation. Even though several major operators publish large-scale campus recruitment plans every year, the graduates majoring in communication have no obvious advantages. However, in recent years, due to the rise of network broadband, it has brought a lot of employment opportunities to the weak job market. In short, if we are not too picky, it should not be difficult to find a job after graduation. More importantly, if you do sales work in an operator, your future career path will be much broader than that of doing technology, and you can switch to selling other products or services.
Analysis and suggestions: to do equipment maintenance in operators, one is to stand by in the operator's computer room at any time, and the other is to work under the base station maintenance agent. The following work is to maintain the normal operation of the base station: for example, if the base station is out of power, you need to start the standby power supply, replace parts and carry out normal inspection; Even if the wind blows, the antenna is crooked and within the working range. If your David Chamber of Commerce doesn't invite some workers to help you, the maintenance of the base station is relatively hard.
The greatest demand is still for service jobs, such as account manager, market development and so on. Although this kind of job recruitment generally does not require professional background, in any case, between you and other professional applicants with the same conditions, the opportunity should be more for you. Doing sales, marketing or customer service in operators requires the same quality as ordinary salesmen. First of all, you should have good communication skills (how to impress the examiner to hire you in the interview process is the best challenge opportunity), and then learning ability (more and more enterprises pay more attention to the plasticity of graduates and whether they can quickly integrate into the working environment and corporate culture when recruiting on campus). In this way, many students will find the problem they face: blushing when talking to strangers. The solution is to take part in more group activities and chat with people. It's a little awkward at first, but after one or two times, you'll be confident.
Career planning and its significance
Career planning of college students and its significance Nowadays, career planning of college students is a fashionable topic. Many universities have set up related courses or special reports and lectures, and there has been a lot of hype on the Internet. Career planning once became one of the most concerned hot spots for college graduates. However, many college graduates don't really understand the exact meaning of career planning, and they don't know enough about its meaning, procedures and specific skills. Therefore, many college students are indifferent to career planning, or at a loss, or make planning a mere formality, or "plan" with their own interests regardless of subjective and objective conditions, which will lead to the failure to give full play to the due role of career planning. s0 100
Career planning and its significance
Career Planning www.gongzuojianli.com, also referred to as career planning, refers to the combination of individuals and organizations. On the basis of measuring, analyzing and summarizing the subjective and objective conditions of a person's career, they comprehensively analyze and weigh their own interests, hobbies, abilities and characteristics, combine the characteristics of the times, determine their best career goals according to their career tendencies, and make effective arrangements for achieving this goal. The purpose of career design is not only to help individuals find suitable jobs according to their qualifications and achieve their personal goals, but more importantly, to help individuals truly understand themselves, make career plans for themselves, plan their future, draw up their own life development direction, and design reasonable and feasible career development directions according to subjective and objective conditions.
College students should first realize the significance of career planning. Professional activities will accompany us for most of our lives, and a successful career can achieve a perfect life. Therefore, career planning is of great significance.
First, career planning can explore self-potential and enhance personal strength.
An effective career planning meeting: ① guide you to correctly understand your personality, existing and potential resource advantages, help you reposition your value and make it continue to increase in value; Guide you to compare and analyze your comprehensive advantages and disadvantages; ③ Make you set clear career development goals and career ideals; ④ Guide you to evaluate the gap between personal goals and reality; ⑤ Guide you to look forward to the career orientation combined with reality, and search for or discover new or potential career opportunities; ⑥ Make you learn how to use scientific methods and take feasible steps and measures to continuously enhance your professional competitiveness and realize your professional goals and ideals.
Second, career planning can enhance the purpose and planning of development and improve the chances of success.
Career development should be planned and purposeful, and we should not blindly "hit the Universiade". Many times, our career setbacks are due to poor career planning. A good plan is the beginning of success. As the old saying goes, everything is established in advance, and if it is not planned, it will be abolished.
Third, career planning can improve the ability to cope with competition.
Today's society is in an era of change, and fierce competition is everywhere. Natural selection and survival of the fittest are very competitive, especially after China's entry into WTO. If you want to stand out from the fierce competition and be invincible, you must design your own career plan. Only in this way can we know fairly well and not fight unprepared battles. However, many recent college graduates don't sit down and make their own career plans first, but run around with resumes to apply for jobs, hoping to find a good job with luck. As a result, a lot of time, energy and money were wasted. Finally, I lamented that the recruiting unit is as blind as a bat and can't "know the hero with an eye", and lamented that my hero is useless. These college graduates do not fully realize the significance and importance of career planning. They believe that knowledge, performance, patience, relationships, eloquence and other conditions are the key to finding an ideal job. They think that career planning is purely an armchair strategist and a waste of time. If you have time, you might as well go to two more recruitment units. This is a wrong idea. In fact, it is much better, more economical and more scientific to plan one's career in advance, sharpen one's knife and not miss the woodcutter, and put one's job-hunting activities into practice after having a clear understanding and clear goals.
The process and main contents of college graduates' career planning
To do a good job in career planning, we must follow the process of career design and do every link carefully. The specific steps of career design can be summarized as follows:
1, self-evaluation
That is, to fully understand yourself. Effective career design must be based on a full and correct understanding of one's own conditions and related environment. We should look at ourselves, know ourselves, know ourselves, and do a good job in self-evaluation, including our interests, specialties, personality, knowledge, skills, IQ, EQ, way of thinking, etc. That is to find out what you want to do, what you can do, what you should do, and what you will choose in front of many careers.
Step 2 set goals
Setting goals is the key to career planning. Generally, goals can be divided into short-term goals, medium-term goals, long-term goals and life goals. Long-term goals can only be achieved through long-term efforts and unremitting struggle. When setting long-term goals, we should base ourselves on reality, make careful choices and make comprehensive consideration to make them realistic and forward-looking. Short-term goals are more specific and have a more direct impact on people, which is also an integral part of long-term goals.
3. Environmental assessment
Career planning should also fully understand and understand the relevant environment, evaluate the impact of environmental factors on their career development, analyze the characteristics, development and changes of environmental conditions, and grasp the advantages and limitations of environmental factors. Understand the status, situation and development trend of this major and industry.
4. Career orientation
Career orientation is to seek the best match between career goals and their own potential as well as subjective and objective conditions. A good career orientation is based on a person's best talent, best personality, best interest and most favorable environment. In the process of career orientation, we should consider the matching of personality and occupation, interest and occupation, specialty and occupation, and so on. Attention should be paid to career orientation: ① according to objective reality, consider the relationship between individuals, society and units; (2) Compare and identify, compare the matching of professional conditions, requirements and nature with their own conditions, and choose a career that is more suitable, more in line with their own strengths, more interested, capable of being competent quickly through hard work and promising; 3 foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, look at the main aspects, and don't pursue a perfect career; (4) Assess the situation and make timely adjustments. We should adjust our career goals in time according to the changes in the situation, and we should not stick to our own opinions and remain unchanged.
5, the implementation strategy
It is to formulate an action plan to achieve career goals and have specific behavioral measures to ensure it. Without action, career goals can only be dreams. It is necessary to make a careful action plan and pay more attention to its implementation.
I am a girl who likes literature. Before the college entrance examination, the road I planned for myself has always been writing, being a writer, and then being an editor, enjoying many works ... Imagine, in a summer afternoon, living quietly with a cup of misty green tea in my hand, just like that, quietly ...)
The cruelty of the college entrance examination shattered my simple dream. I didn't get into the Chinese language and literature major that I had been longing for, but I entered a major that I had never come into contact with before-advertising, and I entered the world of advertisers in confusion. The dream of the past has gone away, and I no longer have the passion to dream about my own literature, so in the summer of 2008, my sky was not as blue as before.
It seems a little far-fetched Now when I imagine my career ideal, I think more about advertising. Maybe you really like advertising! Because after entering the world of advertising, I found that advertising is still very interesting, and advertising is more in line with myself in a certain part. What I yearn for now is copywriting. I'm not creative, and I won't come up with any good ideas to support my major. However, with the deepening of some advertising majors, I found that the employment of advertising is actually very wide, including creativity, planning and copywriting ... and copywriting is in line with my previous dream to some extent, at least related to literature. I really want to work in a multinational company after graduation, but it seems difficult. Now I plan to enter an advanced enterprise, maybe I will join a foreign company or start my own company in the future. However, maybe we should take it step by step.
Up to now, I have decided to find a job directly after graduation and continue my studies in my future work. After all, my family is a very realistic problem, and I don't want to bring such a big burden to my family. ...
At present, the curriculum system of advertising major in our school is still relatively comprehensive. After all, it is in the School of Literature and Journalism, and the literary atmosphere is quite strong. As far as my specialized courses are concerned, literature, graphic design, marketing and Chinese and foreign advertising history include modern Chinese, ancient Chinese and the history of China literature. And will provide advertising copy in the future. Therefore, learning professional courses well is the foundation and an important step. Those literature courses are my own.
I'm a freshman, and I haven't made any preparations. I just read some books and participated in some club activities. Perhaps the most regrettable thing is that I did not participate in the "most creative" of the advertising company. The reason I gave myself at that time was that I didn't know much. I might as well wait until my sophomore year, but I'm too lazy to do it. Now I understand that in fact, many things are missed when they are missed, and there will be no more opportunities ... Only when we grasp them at that time will we not leave regrets for ourselves. However, this is life, and many times, it is always missed to know and understand.
Now, in order to realize my ideal, I have planned some steps. After all, my major is still quite broad, and my scope is still relatively narrow. So first of all, I will try my best to involve more professional knowledge, observe more and pay more attention in my future study and life. Secondly, I will seize every opportunity to exercise and won't let it slip away from me again. After all, youth is limited and life is limited. But on the whole, I'm still confused, and I don't know how to plan and go further.
Fortunately, I chose this course, which is also a career plan for college students. This course should help me make a regretless choice in career planning! !
There are many things to do; There are many things to think about, but the road ahead is guided by someone. I believe that I will go better, farther and more determined. ...
