Every college friend is eager to find a good job when he graduates, but what is a "good job"? In fact, there is no uniform standard for a "good job". Different people have different understandings and definitions of "good job". Knowing what a satisfactory "good job" is can not only help college students make correct career choices, but also help them find a "good job" when they graduate. However, many people have a one-sided understanding of "good job". Let's discuss college students' understanding of "good job".
Misunderstanding of College Students' Choice of "Good Jobs"
A well-paid job is a good job.
A classmate named Liu Hao asked the author, "I am a junior majoring in computer science. When my classmates are immersed in online games and love, I have been considering whether to go abroad for further study or work. I like cars. My goal is to earn enough money to drive a BMW before I am 30. What should I do to realize my BMW life? "
Nowadays, many college students want to find a good job with high salary after graduation, but the standard of "good job" with high salary is inevitably biased, because the purpose of work is not just to make money. We should not only study which jobs have rich ways, but also cultivate our comprehensive quality. Choosing a career needs to consider not only whether it is profitable, but also whether it is beneficial to our career development. We should not become machines that can only make money, but also become people of value to society.
Hot jobs are good jobs.
"Zhang Lin is studying accounting. After graduation, he worked in an accounting company, but he was always uneasy. Because of his interest in literature, he always wanted to be a reporter for famous media. The accountant resigned after less than half a year. Because of his poor language foundation, he spent nearly half a year without finding a job related to the media, and then decided to take the postgraduate exam in journalism, which also ended in failure. "
Hot jobs have always been the ideal "good jobs" for college students, with good pay, good working environment and high social status. Hot jobs are all dressed in beautiful coats. In fact, "beautiful" hot jobs may not be suitable for everyone, and hot jobs will inevitably become the object of competition because of their "popularity". "Hot" jobs will also have high requirements for practitioners, and the number of people who can finally find "hot" jobs is limited. If you blindly choose a "hot" career regardless of your own ability and quality, you are likely to fail.
A job with less pay and more pay is a good job.
Some people just want to pay a little and get a lot of expectations. The job is "less living money and close to home, high position and light responsibility;" Some boys want to marry a rich girl, while others think that "it is better to marry well than to do well". In their senior year, they are not in a hurry to find a job, but are in a hurry to get married and live a "good life" with a house and a car as soon as possible.
Now many employers are complaining that college students are unwilling to work at the grass-roots level, and some positions can't recruit suitable college students. On the other hand, some college students complain that they can't find satisfactory jobs. When I am engaged in human resource management in enterprises, I often meet such college students. A newly graduated college student, who has been working for less than half a year and has done nothing, clamors for a raise and even puts forward "how much money to give and how much work to do!"
Is there really a job with less work and more money in society? Sure, but for most people, don't expect this kind of good thing to happen to themselves. College students who hold this idea advise you to get rid of it as soon as possible. "Good work" is done in a down-to-earth manner, not from the sky.
Others say that a good job is a good job.
Li Xiang asked: "I majored in economics and law, but I don't know whether I should do legal work or economic work after graduation." Teacher, you are an expert in this field. I believe you. Please tell me what to do! "
Li Xiang's case is representative to some extent. Many students are used to or willing to leave important decisions related to their future lives to others to decide. These people include: parents, family members, good friends, classmates, teachers and counselors.
Can the choice of life path really be handed over to others? Of course not. Other people's suggestions, including the suggestions of career consultants and the results of career evaluation, can only provide you with reference. You must make your own career decisions, because what others think is a good job is not necessarily a good job for you. No one can make a decision for himself, because his own future must be in his own hands.
A job that can solve the hukou in a big city is a good job.
"Can that school be registered?" "As long as the hukou can solve the problem of lower wages, it doesn't matter." "Although that school is partial, it can be registered." . Among the applicants who arrived in twos and threes, hukou became the most talked about topic.
"We tried our best to get the index of entering Beijing, but some young teachers chose to drop out of school just to get a Beijing hukou and settle down." A recruitment teacher in a remote school also talked about the difficulty of "hukou".
Although college students pay less attention to hukou than in previous years, in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, college students pay special attention to whether employers can solve hukou when choosing a job. Under the condition that the "dual system" structure of urban and rural areas in China has not been fundamentally changed and the social security system is not perfect enough, the hukou factor will continue to affect the employment choice of college students. College students who are very concerned about household registration need to know some domestic household registration systems, and the management of household registration indicators in big cities is particularly strict. For example, only a few employers in Beijing have indicators for entering Beijing. Such units are generally state organs, institutions, state-owned enterprises and a few high-tech enterprises.
Nowadays, many college students think that the unit that can register is a "good job", not because they like this job, but because they can "settle down". In order to prevent speculative college students from resigning after settling down, some employers require to sign labor contracts with college students for more than five years, stipulating that once they leave, they must pay high liquidated damages. If you are not interested in choosing a job that can solve your hukou, you may "pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon". Although I got the hukou, I paid time, money and opportunity cost.
A job you like is a good job.
Rebecca asked, "I am a junior majoring in Chinese medicine from a poor mountainous area in Guangdong. I don't like being a doctor now. I especially like career counseling, which is consistent with my interests, abilities and values. The following questions still bother me:
Am I really suitable for career counseling?
Is it really the only best choice to give up studying for five years? (Actually, I believe I will be a good doctor if I want to.) What should I tell my parents and relatives? "
Rebecca doesn't like being a doctor. He finds himself suitable for career counseling. So what Rebecca likes is a "good job" that suits him? Career counseling is a helpful profession, which not only requires high education, ability and experience of practitioners, but also has low income. It is a problem that students from poor families need financial aid urgently.
Therefore, choosing your favorite job is not necessarily the "good job" that suits you best now. In addition to your own likes and dislikes, you also need to consider family responsibilities, professional ability and quality requirements, career development prospects, salary status and so on. Sometimes, we may have to give up our favorite career temporarily and choose a career that can make money and be competent, but giving up temporarily does not mean giving up forever, and it is not too late to choose our favorite career when the time is ripe.
Ways to find a "good job"
If you want to find a "good job", you must know what a "good job" is.
Above, we talked about the misunderstanding of college students choosing "good jobs". If they want to find a "good job", they must know what a "good job" is in their hearts, and the standard of "good job" varies from person to person. Employers recruit not the best talents, but the most suitable talents. Similarly, for job seekers, what they are looking for is not the "best job" recognized by society or considered by others, but the job that suits them best. In fact, there is no difference between good and bad jobs, just suitable jobs and unsuitable jobs. A job that conforms to one's personality and is conducive to one's long-term development is a suitable job, and a job that suits one's own is a "good job".
"Know yourself and know yourself" to help you find a "good job"
Many college students don't know themselves, their personalities, interests and abilities. How can they find a job that suits them? To become a "bosom friend" and at the same time "know each other", it takes enough time to understand the profession. Compared with self, college students don't know much about occupation and society. Many college students only pay attention to theoretical study, only to find out when they apply for a job in their senior year that employers require college students not only to master the professional theories they have learned, but also to be able to use their own theories to solve practical problems. At this time, college students find that different employers have different employment standards, job ability requirements, culture and management systems, career development prospects, training opportunities and welfare benefits.
"Know yourself and know yourself" to find a "good job" actually requires "job matching", that is, the chosen job must match the individual's values, personality, interests and abilities.
For graduates, if they fully understand themselves and their careers, choose a career that matches their abilities and qualities as the job-hunting goal, and make a job-hunting resume according to the job-hunting goal, and make effective interview preparations, it will undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of finding a "good job".
For college students, a full understanding of themselves and their careers during college can enhance their professional awareness, make correct goal orientation and career choice, and make necessary professional ability and quality preparation for future career goals.
"Curve employment" can find "good jobs"
It is unnecessary for some students to stare at big cities when looking for jobs. Mao Zedong once put forward the strategy of "encircling the city from the countryside", and I want to apply it to job hunting, that is, to find a "good job" by curve. For example, you study journalism and want to be a reporter, but it is very difficult to find a job as a reporter in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. If some small and medium-sized cities just need journalists, I think you can go to small and medium-sized cities to develop and accumulate experience.
Due to the fierce competition for talents in big cities, the career development space of some positions is relatively narrow. Nowadays, small and medium-sized cities in China are developing rapidly, and there will be more room for career development of many jobs. If you want to go back to work in a big city in the future, you have accumulated rich practical experience and have the "capital" to develop in a big city. Practice has proved that this is a good way for many people to successfully find "good jobs" that they are satisfied with.
"Professional fitting" trying to find a "good job"
Mr. Zhou, former president of Beijing Ganlong. Com, the theory of "professional try-on" was put forward for the first time. The author thinks it is of great benefit to college students to find a "good job". When we go to the mall to buy shoes and clothes, we need to try them on to know if they are suitable. Some clothes look pleasing to the eye and find that they don't suit us. In fact, the same is true when looking for a job. Some jobs look good, but only when you do them yourself do you find that they are not suitable for you. Simply put, "professional fitting" is an internship. College students should find jobs that suit them through internships. If they find that the "target occupation" is very suitable for them through internship, accumulating practical experience related to the "target occupation" will be of great help in finding a "good job" after graduation.
In short, there is no good or bad job. The "good job" we are talking about here is actually a job that suits you. If college students want to find a "good job" when they graduate, they should not be too short-sighted, just focus on the immediate interests such as salary and registered permanent residence. They should understand their own personality, interests, hobbies, specialties and values from the perspective of personal long-term development and know what they need. Fully understand the career goals of career choices that match yourself and your career, and make full preparations for the career goals during college. I believe everyone will find a "good job" that they are satisfied with after graduation.
