How many volumes will graduates apply for jobs in 2022?

According to the Survey Report on the Employability of College Students in 2022, in 2022, the number of college graduates in China exceeded 6.5438+million for the first time, and the signing rates of master's, undergraduate and junior college graduates were 20.6%, 654.38+05.3% and 654.38+04.7% respectively.

Among the100000 college graduates, nearly 9 have become "double non-"graduates. ("Double non-universities" originally refers to universities that are neither "985" nor "2 1 1". After the list of the first batch of national "double first-class" universities is published, it generally refers to non-world first-class universities and universities with non-first-class disciplines. Therefore, the pressure faced by these "double-non-college" graduates on the road to job hunting is to add more papers.

As for competitors, "double non-graduates" were attacked by "985" and "2 1 1" before, and then they were graduates of top overseas universities, which can be described as "being attacked by both sides".

Tang Xiao, a "double non-"college student, told Caijing: "Last month, I was interviewed by a startup company with about 70 people in Beijing. The boss is from Tsinghua, HR is from Beijing Institute of Technology, and the team leader who interviewed me came back from studying in new york. It is said that some of the company's technical teams are doing tests in Tsinghua, and some are back from studying in Silicon Valley. During the interview, I had mixed feelings and even began to think about the question of' doubting life'. Is Beijing looking for a job all rolled up to this point? "

Behind the lack of competition is an increasingly "bad" recruitment environment.

Since the beginning of this year, the number of jobs opened to the outside world by large Internet companies has decreased. Under the repeated epidemics, private small and medium-sized enterprises dare not expand their enrollment, and even some state-owned enterprises are tightening the recruitment quota for fresh graduates.

The HR person in charge of a pharmaceutical state-owned enterprise in Beijing told Burning Finance, "Our company has greatly reduced the number of people recruited this year. Most of the recruitment needs issued by the department require about three years of work experience, and there are few positions that accept fresh graduates. Now the company attaches great importance to the cost of talent training. "

Mr. Zhang, an independent entrepreneur in Shenyang, told Burning Finance that this year, the company greatly reduced the number of new graduates recruited. "waist enterprises like us are the favorite of' double non-'freshmen. Our threshold is relatively low, but it is also famous in the industry. Coming in for a year or two is a good springboard, which can not only brush work experience, but also accumulate contacts in the circle. "

Guo Jingjing, a senior HR, told Combustion Finance, "Although overseas schools in 985, 2 1 1 and TOP 100 are rarely the hard conditions for the company, the university background is definitely an important consideration for the candidate. In the past, there were many fresh graduates, and some graduates with rich internship experience and outstanding interview performance also received offer from well-known enterprises. But in the past two years, especially this year, the overall recruitment situation has been sluggish. Many HR see that the school is not a well-known institution, and even the resume of the applicant will not be read. "

Xiao Li from Shandong is one of many graduates who have been "skipped" by their resumes. Two years ago, due to family arrangements, Xiao Li dropped out of school to join the army. The original intention of the family was to hope that Xiao Li would come back from the army to finish his studies, and then find a job within the system in his hometown.

But young Xiao Li is more eager for the outside world. "I'm going to graduate this year, because I really don't want to stay in my hometown, so I started to send resumes crazily. At present, I have invested more than 600 resumes in a recruitment App, but I have not received an interview. " After sinking into the sea, Xiao Li is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination. "Maybe for the' double non-'undergraduates, not taking the postgraduate entrance examination is really equal to' unemployment'."

Yang Fan, who is also a freshman, has the same distress, but the difference is that Yang Fan has completed his graduate studies, but the school where he went to graduate school is also a "double-non" school, while Yang Fan, who is committed to being a researcher in listed financial enterprises, has repeatedly hit a wall in job hunting.

There is also a graduate student, A Jun, who graduated from a non-first-class overseas university. Jun A, who returned to China this year, set himself the initial goal of job hunting in the financial industry. However, in the process of failed attempts, constantly lowering the requirements and compromising, A Jun understood that "foreign students who are not world-class universities cannot be called' returnees'."

However, as "double non-"graduates, the pressure and difficulties of interview certainly exist, but this does not mean that famous enterprises and hot jobs have nothing to do with them.

Ceng Jing, who is also a "double non-"graduate, entered a big factory by her own efforts and worked hard all the way there. While her career is rising, she summed up a set of "survival manuals" in the workplace.

High IQ and low IQ "returnees"

I failed to apply for a job in China for half a year.

A jun graduated from 202 1.

In 20 14, jun a was admitted to a "double-non" university in Tianjin, but he was not satisfied with his major or school. The school is average, but the major is unpopular. Before entering the university campus, Mr. A began to worry that it would be difficult to find a satisfactory job after graduation.

Almost at the same time, A Jun observed the "bonus" enjoyed by returned students. "Around 20 14, a group of post-90s students who went abroad to study returned to China. At that time, the information gap between domestic enterprises and international students was relatively large, and it was easy for international students to get' bonuses'. "

A Jun told Burning Finance that in my memory, at that time, foreign students from some unknown universities were better at finding jobs than students from domestic key universities. In addition, after seeing that the children of parents and friends can easily enter the listed company after returning from studying abroad, A Jun admits, "I decided that studying abroad is a good opportunity for my academic qualifications to' turn over', so I started preparing for studying abroad almost at the same time as I reported to the university."

It took you about half a year to brush TOEFL scores. However, because my English foundation is too weak and I am in a hurry to go out, my grades are not high. In the end, I can only choose a state university in California. Although the ranking of the school was not very high, at that time, Ajun firmly believed that international students would be more popular than ordinary schools in China, and he set off with confidence.

From 2065438 to August 2005, Mr. A, who entered California State University, switched to financial analysis and completed four years of college life. "At that time, I thought finance was one of the hottest and easiest professions to find employment, and it was also one of the highest paid professions."

In the summer of 2020, A Jun, who graduated from undergraduate course, intends to continue his studies. However, because of the average ranking of undergraduate institutions, plus his own achievements are not very outstanding, A Jun does not have many options in the choice of graduate institutions. Finally, I can only enter a school not too close to the front and start my graduate life.

A Jun said that after graduating from undergraduate course, he also considered entering the workplace directly, but both Party A (such as a securities company) and Party B (such as a consulting company) in the financial industry have high academic requirements, so he resolutely gave up the idea of working immediately.

At the beginning of this year, Mr. A, who got a master's degree in financial analysis from Pace University in the United States, officially started his job search after returning to China. It's just that this road is completely different from what you think.

"I don't know much about the domestic employment environment after returning to China, and I have inexplicable confidence in' returnees', so I have high expectations when looking for a job. For example, financial companies that only want to go public or investment departments of large central enterprises and state-owned enterprises; I hope to enjoy the settlement policy and register in Beijing. "

In fact, Mr. A began to apply for a job in the autumn of 202 1. "A few months before graduation, I started looking for a position in the target company official website and submitted my resume." A Jun told Burning Finance that although he didn't get a reply at that time, he didn't take it seriously, because he felt that there was still a period of time before graduation, and he was also sending his resume intermittently.

However, it backfired.

By March of this year, Mr. A, who still couldn't find a suitable job, began to worry and gradually learned about the cruel job market in China. "Because I can't work abroad legally, I have only had a very short internship experience under the requirements of a semester course." A Jun truthfully said that peers who have completed their studies in China will basically start internships in companies such as large factories and state-owned enterprises from their junior or even sophomore years, which is very advantageous.

After recognizing the reality, A Jun began to lower his employment standard, and started the strategy of "investing in the sea" while removing the necessary conditions for settling down. In addition, A Jun also found some friends who work in Beijing Big Internet Company to help push it inside.

Finally, A Jun received his first interview notice, a large investment company. However, after two rounds of interviews, A Jun was told by the company that he was unsuccessful. After further questioning the reasons, the other party bluntly said that "the qualifications do not match."

You have experienced such a hopeful but extremely disappointing experience for more than a dozen times. According to rough statistics, A Jun submitted nearly 1,000 resumes, received 6 interview invitations from head investment companies and 10 invitations from more than 0 small companies, but they didn't get together in the end. In addition to the objective "academic qualifications do not match", there is also the subjective consciousness of the Afghan army.

"I don't like small companies, and big companies don't like me." Ah Jun wry smile way.

After communicating with predecessors, A Cai Jun suddenly realized that the competitive employment environment in China and the shrinking information gap between China and overseas have made the returnees from non-first-class universities have no advantage at all. In other words, it is not as good as those domestic peers who are crazy about brushing experience and accumulating contacts.

Today, A Jun, who has returned to China for half a year, still hasn't found his favorite job, but he is full of longing and pursuit for the future and insists on working in the financial industry.

"Let's just say that I have long been beaten by society." For this job-hunting experience, A Jun bluntly said, "If I am an undergraduate, I don't think studying abroad can solve all the problems. If I can spend more time choosing a better institution or get higher credits within four years, then I may have more choices now. "

Double non-master degree into star enterprise

The road to Shu is so steep that it is steeper than heaven.

Yang Fan 2022 fresh graduates.

Like Jun, Yang Fan is also a "double non-"freshman. But unlike A Jun, Yang Fan is a typical double-non-university graduate in China. Although Yang Fan intends to spend more time studying higher credits and accumulating more practical experience when he was a student, he can face hot jobs, but Yang Fan still hasn't "landed successfully".

"Originally, I upgraded my academic qualifications to enter a big factory or a star enterprise. Now I find that enterprises would rather recruit 985 undergraduates than recruit a' double non-'master's degree." As a master's graduate in 2022, Yang Fan told Burning Finance that this year's job search is much more difficult than expected.

Combustion Finance understands that Yang Fan, who majored in pharmaceutical R&D, has always wanted to be a pharmaceutical investment researcher in a large investment company. During his college years, Yang Fan has noticed that graduate students have become a basic requirement for both Internet giants like Ali Health and large investment enterprises.

In order to embark on his planned career, Yang Fan was admitted to a couple of non-university medical graduate students on 20 19. "It's not that I haven't thought about studying for a graduate student in a prestigious school, but based on various pressures such as economy and personal ability, I finally chose a double-non-institution that is' second best'."

Yang Fan told Burning Finance that because he knew the starting point was low, he was crazy about "making up lessons" during his graduate studies. "When I was a graduate student, I passed the securities qualification certificate and the fund qualification certificate at one time, read a lot of books and research reports in the pharmaceutical investment circle, and constantly improved my understanding and understanding of the industry."

Of course, Yang Fan's efforts did not stop at the theoretical level. According to Burning Finance, Yang Fan began to pay attention to the information about campus recruitment published by official website from the third year of research, and then searched for suitable positions from the major recruitment apps. At the same time, constantly improve the resume and show it in the school recruitment of major investment enterprises with the resume.

However, Yang Fan, who was full of enthusiasm, soon found that all the resumes he had submitted had sunk into the sea. "At many presentations, I confirmed the job requirements and academic qualifications with HR of big factories or famous enterprises. The other party said that as long as you have a background in science and engineering such as medicine, you can have a bachelor's degree or above. But I know that my education, major and skills meet the requirements, but I don't even have the opportunity to interview. "

Even so, Yang Fan still didn't give up.

In the process of concentrating on finding a job, Yang Fan saw the recruitment information of a state-owned investment company he had long admired.

In order to get an interview, Yang Fan began to make preparations before the campus recruitment. In addition to looking for experienced seniors to rehearse the interview, I also compiled a detailed comparison table according to the job requirements.

But what Yang Fan never expected was that shortly after the recruitment entrance was closed, just when he thought he still had a chance to attend the interview and waited quietly, he saw the admission list of relevant positions advertised on the official website of the enterprise.

After talking with friends who are preparing for the interview at the same time, Yang Fan found that only one person was admitted to his school, and he still held a relatively marginal design position. Core investment-related positions, plus graduate students majoring in finance, are not on the list. However, Yang Fan saw several undergraduate graduates from 985 or 2 1 1 universities on the public list.

"For many famous enterprises or big factories, especially when recruiting core positions,' double non-'graduates, whether you are an undergraduate or a graduate, have been brushed off when interviewing resumes." Yang Fan said that for large enterprises, 985, 2 1 1 are not hard conditions and will not be written into recruitment requirements, but they are invisible and well-known thresholds in school recruitment.

It was this experience of delivering resumes that made Yang Fan change her previous career plan. Yang Fan soon entered a small investment company to invest in biomedicine after he stopped clinging to big enterprises.

"Although it is not the favorite company, it is still the favorite position. Now, I am very lucky to find an industry that I am willing to engage in. " Now, speaking of his job hunting experience, Yang Fan seems to be a lot more indifferent.

Practice vocational skills hard

"Double non-"can also enter the big factory.

Ceng Jing graduated from 20 19.

At the moment of extreme involution, a "skill" may be defeated by the aura of a famous school, but as long as you are diligent enough, even if you lose at the starting line, you can still come from behind.

Ceng Jing worked hard at vocational skills. After graduating from a "double-non" college, she went all the way to a big factory and got a promotion and salary increase.

2065 438-2009, Ceng Jing, an undergraduate majoring in hotel management, started her internship in Shanghai near graduation. However, at that time, her monthly salary was only 1800 yuan, and her life was extremely poor. Although Ceng Jing knew the distance between herself and the big factory, her yearning for the big factory made her bravely take the first step.

"I thought I could do anything as long as I didn't work in a hotel." Ceng Jing told Burning Finance that hotel management is not only low in salary, but also highly repetitive and replaceable. "There is always a sense of crisis that everyone will have."

In this way, Ceng Jing quit her internship in Shanghai, returned to her hometown-a new first-tier city, and began the day of widely sending resumes.

According to Ceng Jing's recollection, almost at the same time, ByteDance's branch in his hometown started the recruitment work. "There is a lot of work and the salary is relatively high. I have sent many people related to e-commerce. "

Fortunately, although Byte also depends on academic qualifications and institutions, Ceng Jing decided to start with his own advantages. In the interview, she talked about her experience of volunteering and traveling all over the country. The serious interviewer was also attracted by her. Finally, Ceng Jing got the job opportunity by virtue of the eloquence and reaction ability he had developed by participating in the debate team at school.

Just when Ceng Jing thought that everything would be fine if he successfully joined the company, a new round of challenges began again.

According to Ceng Jing, Byte had new elimination training during her freshman year. In addition to the graduates of 985,211,Ceng Jing also participated in the training, including the elderly in the workplace transferred from other big factories. "Whether it is education or work experience, my intuitive feeling at that time was that there was no advantage. But I didn't flinch, I just comforted myself. As long as I work hard to make up the lessons, I may not win. "

In this way, Ceng Jing will spend a lot of extra time after work to speed up the study and absorption of work-related professional skills. She will not only write a book "Dachang slang", but also disassemble and summarize every case of the training.

Finally, Ceng Jing's contribution was rewarded. After 40 people attended the training, Ceng Jing and a dozen others became "survivors", but many employees who jumped out of the big factory left. In this way, in his hometown with an average monthly salary of 2,000-3,000 yuan, Ceng Jing got a basic salary of 6,000 yuan and a performance salary close to three times the basic salary.

Even if she stayed, Ceng Jing still knew that when her education and work experience were insufficient, her work attitude was the only thing she could get, and hard work was what she had to do. Therefore, the concept of byte "Always Day 1" just meets Ceng Jing's learning desire.

In this way, Ceng Jing, who "lost" at the starting line, was promoted after repeatedly winning with the high performance of super-old employees. Ceng Jing, who is now a leader, will not only pay attention to academic qualifications in social recruitment interviews, because she is well aware of the "disadvantages" of "double non-"graduates in recruitment. "Comprehensive quality and whether you have your own ideas are obviously more important."

In addition to social recruitment, Ceng Jing can also help juniors who graduate this year and want to push them in. Although Ceng Jing's introversion basically ended in failure. Ceng Jing found that with the development of Byte becoming more and more mature, the requirements of the corresponding posts are getting higher and higher, and it is very sad for a "double non-"fresh student like her who has a wrong major and a poor academic record to get a preliminary screening of her academic record.

"Especially since the end of last year, major Internet companies have frequently reported layoffs, and it is more difficult to' enter the big factory'." Ceng Jing told Combustion Finance that his e-commerce department also has hundreds of vacant sites. "If I graduate a few years later, even if I am very capable, it is difficult to enter bytes."

"Big factories are not so good," Ceng Jing said bluntly. Tired of complicated examination and approval procedures and rules, she was ready to leave her job at any time and began to explore sideline business.

"Maintaining competitiveness is always the most important thing."
