First, analyze the current employment prospects of civil engineering majors

1, understand the employment situation and be mentally prepared.

In 2005, the signing rate of college students was only 33.7%.

In 2006, the number of college graduates nationwide reached more than 4 million, and the number of graduates reached a new high.

The main factors that make it difficult for college students to find jobs are: (1) The contradiction between supply and demand of graduates is prominent; (2) There are policy obstacles for enterprises to accept graduates; (3) The employment market does not meet the employment needs of college students; (4) The content of college employment guidance is superficial.

At present, the structural contradiction in the employment of college graduates in China still exists:

From the regional perspective: the eastern provinces and cities have absorbed more than 50% of the country's college graduates, while the western region has less than 20%;

From the perspective of academic qualifications: graduates from higher vocational colleges are still the difficulty and focus of employment;

From the professional point of view, the employment situation of engineering and application majors is good, and some liberal arts majors are difficult to find employment.

In addition, some new situations are worthy of attention: (1) The employment demand is concentrated in key universities and graduate students, which makes it more difficult for graduates from some local universities to find jobs; (2) The downward shift of the center of gravity of college graduates is blocked, and some low-end jobs are occupied because of the emergence of laid-off workers, middle school graduates and migrant workers; (3) The graduate employment rate has a downward trend; (4) The employment of graduates has increased in recent years; (5) The effective social demand can't keep up with the rapid growth of college graduates.

2. Be familiar with the employment mode and prepare for employment.

Be familiar with the way of employment, prepare for your future career development in advance, and enter the competitive state in advance. )

(1) Traditional employment mode:

China society is undergoing an important transformation: from a planned economy to a market economy with China characteristics. This process is a process of redistribution of interest pattern. In the job market, we can classify various interest units according to the following main aspects:

① Civil servants (including institutions) ② State-owned enterprises in monopoly industries ③ State-owned enterprises in competitive industries.

④ Foreign enterprises ⑤ Private enterprises

(2) The current new employment mode:

(1) Be a village official. For example, 60 college students in Beijing went to suburban counties to be village officials this year.

(2) support the west.

③ Employment in small cities and counties. At the same time, the questionnaire survey of college graduates in Peking University University of Economics in 2005 showed that the employment of college students began to shift from large and medium-sized cities to small cities and counties. However, college graduates with home addresses in large and medium-sized cities, high per capita income and extensive family and social relations are more likely to find jobs.

4 start your own business. According to the survey of Sohu Education Channel. Com, 1995, founded by China university students.

Industry accounts for less than 3.6% of college students' annual employment, and a recent statistical data shows that in 2005, self-employment has reached 12.7%. More and more college students choose this unconventional employment model.

3. See the truth about the difficulty of employment and be prepared for self-construction.

(1) Recruitment enterprises do not recruit fresh graduates, but need people with work experience.

While it is difficult for college graduates to find jobs, it is also common for employers to choose materials.

① Of the 65,438+0,000 employees recruited by Holiland Enterprise Investment Management Co., Ltd. every year, only 40 are college graduates;

The representative of Beijing Hualian Printing Co., Ltd. said that the development of enterprises is inseparable from college students, but we basically don't want college students every year.

(2) College students' comprehensive quality is unqualified, and they can't meet the requirements of applying for the exam.

(1) The result is unqualified, and the corresponding diploma and bachelor's degree have not been obtained; Foreign language and computer failed the corresponding grade examination.

For example, many enterprises now need to pass CET-6 in recruitment.

The only child is spoiled, unable to bear hardships and stand hard work, has no fighting spirit, and even has bad living habits.

Shoulian Trading Group planned to recruit 10 college graduates last year, but only two of the more than 200 college students were qualified. The representative of McDonald's said that all the college graduates they accepted had to go through grass-roots exercise, and they had to arrange the most difficult jobs for him during their internship, such as serving dishes in the front hall and cleaning the toilet first. But often after three days of internship, some people are eliminated because they can't eat bitterness, and the elimination rate is as high as 50%.

The poor stability of college students after employment is another important reason why enterprises are unwilling to accept college students.

Within one or two years after enterprises accept college students, the turnover rate is above 30%, reaching 50% of the total number of enterprises surveyed. I love my family, Hualian Printing and other enterprises, and the turnover rate of college students is as high as 70%. Even a large enterprise like Lenovo Group thinks that their tuition fees for the high turnover rate of college students are too high.

(3) What comprehensive qualities do college students need?

By surfing the Internet and consulting relevant materials, we can know the qualities that the most popular graduates should possess:

1: calm, confident and resilient.

2. Strong communication skills.

3. Have the spirit of cooperation and coordination ability.

4. Have enthusiasm for work and can drive others.

5. Moral integrity, honesty and reliability.

6: Have a skill.

As can be seen from this, the recruitment unit has high requirements for personal comprehensive quality, which requires not only excellent professional skills, but also good personality and communication and cooperation skills.

4. Identify your interests and choose the major that suits you best.

(1) Do you know yourself? What are your interests? .

(2) Do you know anything about civil engineering? Do you know the employment direction of civil engineering major?

Second, the four-year study plan of the university

Cultivate learning ability, engage in various activities, comprehensively cultivate their comprehensive quality, participate in various competitions, participate in social practice, obtain various certificates, meet the test of employment pressure with strong strength, and succeed in employment.

For example, when graduates are looking for jobs, employers often ask interviewers to demonstrate the drawing of CAD graphics on the spot, but many students can't. For my major, CAD drawing is a basic skill and is often used in my work.

Third, the concept of talent and career choice in the new era.

Talent: outstanding ability in all aspects, practical experience and strong adaptability; Have foreign language skills and communication skills; Excellent professional skills require candidates to have good character and communication and cooperation skills.

Choosing a job: with the diversification of social division of labor, everyone faces more and more choices when they graduate, and there are fewer and fewer iron rice bowls; Job hopping is normal. Choose a place and post where you can give full play to your abilities.
