It matters not what someone is born but what they grow to be. Indeed, many times birth has nothing to do with heroes. We see too many examples, the same educational background and almost similar growth environment, but the winners and losers pass by. From the campus to the workplace, what makes the students who were not very different in the past become completely different strangers? The following are three ways for graduate employment that I have sorted out. Please refer to them.
Compared with the current college students who rush about for work, graduate students can be said to be the leading group of employment. However, with the cooling of the high consumption of talents, coupled with their own concept of career choice, mentality, and the unsmooth employment information, the road to employment is no longer smooth, and even hit a wall repeatedly, so "the emperor's daughter is also worried about marrying" has become a true portrayal of many graduate students.
How do graduate students cope with employment pressure? What are their living conditions? Three graduate students continue to write their own life trajectories in different ways.
Employment path 1: reduce social status and look forward to career development.
Cheng Xiao, a typical case master, is very critical of the unit.
Cheng Xiao, a master of communication in 2006 in a key university in western China, is currently looking for a job during her internship in Beijing. When talking about her job hunting experience in the past few months, Cheng Xiao was worried. She sighed and told the reporter: "It is really difficult to find a suitable job now!"
I graduated from an ordinary university in Hubei, majoring in physics. "If I don't go to graduate school, I should stand in a school classroom and give lectures to students now, instead of worrying about my work so far. After graduating from college, I felt that my writing was ok, so I decided to apply for the journalism graduate student of our school. " Cheng Xiao told reporters. In the first two years of graduate school, Leijiacha etc. I'm not worried about finding a job. She thinks it's better to find a job than an undergraduate anyway. Compared with those students who found jobs after graduating from college, she still has a certain sense of superiority in her heart. She also set herself a goal: a monthly salary of three or four thousand yuan, to go to a bigger city, the development prospects of the unit must be good.
At the end of June 5438+00, 2006, Cheng Xiao completed the first draft of his thesis and went to Beijing to apply for a job. At first, Xiao Cheng. I searched a lot of media recruitment information on the Internet and sent resumes to some media, only to find that none of them informed them that they could apply, because most media require professional experience, but little tea and so on. No such experience. Later, leijiacha etc. After searching the employment information of some universities, I found that "most universities in central cities require doctoral degrees", and some schools even require undergraduate courses to be prestigious schools.
Cheng Xiao told reporters that there are many students like her in her class. Although Cheng Xiao hasn't found a job yet, he is not discouraged. Now, she works as an editor in a national newspaper, and her monthly income is only about 1000 yuan. She said that as long as there are companies with better development prospects, it is inevitable to reduce employment expectations. After all, finding a job is not a career. The key is to develop together with employers in two of a kind.
Expert comments: lower standards and wider horizons.
Ma Siyu, a career development consultant, said that after all, studying for so many years costs more money, so graduate students like Cheng Xiao will definitely have higher employment expectations when they graduate. Most people have expressed such expectations: they must choose to work in big cities, be critical of the nature of their units, demand higher wages, and pursue the level, professionalism and stability of their jobs. If expectations are high, there will naturally be more demands and fewer jobs to choose from. At the same time, for those graduate students and non-application majors who have studied all the way from undergraduate, although they have high academic qualifications, their work experience may be zero. This disadvantage also makes these people miss the middle and high-level technical and management positions. In fact, many multinational companies would rather recruit undergraduates than graduate students. In their view, graduate students have high expectations for treatment and unstable jobs. Undergraduate students are hard-working and can win the first prize after being trained by the company. On the contrary, some domestic enterprise undergraduates should do what graduate students can do, and some even use graduate students as vases to show off their "strength".
In fact, in the severe market competition, a person's core competitiveness is work experience and ability, not academic qualifications, and experience is precisely the weakness of many graduate students' employment. In addition, the number of graduate students has been rising in recent years, and the employment of undergraduates is narrow, so it is necessary for graduate students to lower their social status when they first set foot in the workplace. Therefore, it is suggested that graduate students keep a correct attitude in job hunting, do not be short-sighted, do not give up their majors easily, and temporarily lower their expectations.
Employment Path 2: Is Cobo Gold-plated or a job haven?
Typical case: Dr. Xiao Tai wants to start a company after graduation.
Xiao Tai, who is in the first year of doctoral studies this year, is a typical example of continuing to take the doctoral examination after graduation. He didn't rush to find a job after graduation because Xiao Tai had his own career plan. "My Ph.D. in this subject is very popular abroad, so I want to go abroad to continue my postdoctoral studies as much as possible in the future, or start my own company. It is slightly more difficult to start your own business, and your income must be guaranteed. " Xiao Yan told reporters. He said that his major is material processing engineering, and he graduated with a doctorate in 2009. If you don't start your own company, you can also work in a university or a research institute in the future.
"I didn't think about it in particular. Anyway, I just don't want to go to work too early now After all, students have more freedom and better time arrangement. Find a more promising job if possible in the future. " Xiao Tai looks forward to the future. However, he also said that he is really under great pressure at present. On the one hand, it is more difficult for the doctor to study, on the other hand, he has to bear certain responsibilities at home when he is old. For a 25-year-old, the monthly subsidy adds up to only about 1500 yuan, but Xiao Tai said, "I am confident in my major, and my career dream will definitely come true in the near future."
Expert comments with high academic qualifications may also be eliminated.
Li Hongfei, a career consultant, said that maybe some graduate students really have their own life goals and career orientation like Xiao Tai, and it is more important to have a good major and a bright future, but more people take the exam for a helpless reason-the difficulty in finding jobs. I used to want to stay in school as a teacher, and my graduate degree is still very popular. Now the university recruits teaching assistants, and 200 to 300 doctors submit resumes. It can be seen that the blind pursuit of high education in society is one of the main reasons for the current upsurge of postgraduate entrance examination and examination. Now, whether it is job hunting, job title evaluation, promotion, or even solving the household registration of family members, the higher the education, the better. This social orientation, which emphasizes academic qualifications over ability, forces people to take a doctor's degree or master's degree. I'm afraid there are very few doctors trained in this utilitarian atmosphere who really hold a lifelong research mentality.
Now the threshold of the job market is getting higher and higher, and companies and enterprises generally welcome those job seekers with high academic qualifications. Those college students who can't find a job feel that their academic qualifications are "low". In order to find a better job in the future, they have to pass the postgraduate entrance examination and exams to obtain high academic qualifications. Experts believe that it should not be ignored that a considerable number of people expect to build confidence in entering the society by improving their academic qualifications, but they should not blindly pursue high academic qualifications without paying attention to quality, otherwise even if they get high academic qualifications, they will be in danger of being eliminated at any time.
Employment Path 3: Internship experience is useful at work.
A typical case of master Xiao Lu's practice in school.
Lu Xiao's graduate students stayed in Beijing after graduation, and so did their registered residence. Now he has his own company with a monthly salary of five or six thousand. Unlike today's graduate students who are busy looking for jobs, the work in Xiaolu can be described as a pleasant journey.
Speaking of the work experience of the path, it is really enviable. When he was a graduate student in the second half of his freshman year, he entered an internship in a network technology company for the purpose of contacting the society and earning some pocket money. The ringtone of mobile phone has just started, and he is a computer student, and his ability to accept this new thing and his speed of getting started are faster than others. His monthly income of 65,438 yuan+0,000 yuan always makes his classmates jealous. There, the path worked for more than a year, and all aspects of literacy have been greatly improved. Subsequently, the mobile phone color ring service also became popular rapidly. Because Lu Xiao is familiar with the making of ringtones, it is not a problem to make natural ringtones. It is not a problem to complete 20 color ring tones every day. And the download fee of a 2 yuan also made him earn more than before. "Some people say that you are a bit overqualified as a graduate student. Actually, I don't think so. No matter what I study, the key is that I can find happiness from my work. " Lu Xiao told reporters.
Now he and several classmates have started their own company, which is also engaged in color ring back tone business. The daily download volume can exceed 10 thousand, and the income is naturally indispensable. He said that it is really not easy to find a job that suits him in such a competitive environment, so he was especially glad of his internship experience during the graduate school, which is undoubtedly an accumulation of his current job.
We should seriously consider the opinions of experts on employment or entrepreneurship.
Bao-guang Wang, an expert in human resources, believes that at present, graduate students show an obvious mentality of "seeking stability and seeking good" when they are employed. Under the severe employment situation, they are more willing to find a stable and less challenging job, and institutions, scientific research institutes in universities and large enterprises are their favorite first choice. There are few successful cases of self-employment like Lu Xiao. In fact, successful entrepreneurship requires not only good projects, but also financial support, management ability, business interpersonal relationships and so on. Although the teaching environment that emphasizes theory over practice has improved, most graduate students still study in an environment that specializes in book knowledge, and there are not many opportunities to get in touch with society such as practice and internship, and even less opportunities to understand the company's operation.
In such an environment, most students are at a loss about starting a business and running a company. In addition, the advantages of graduate students in professional knowledge also make them raise the threshold of starting a business from the mentality. Graduate students prefer professional jobs, and even if they start a business, they hope to apply what they have learned. This makes their entrepreneurial threshold relatively high. Entrepreneurial projects with low knowledge and technology content are generally not within their consideration. This also makes most students prefer employment to entrepreneurship. The key to Lu Xiao's success in starting a business is his familiarity with the industry. With the in-depth understanding during the internship and the mature operation of some objective conditions, it is not difficult to succeed in starting a business.
Employment direction of logistics graduate students
With the establishment of China's socialist market economic system, the acceleration of world economic integration and the rapid development of science and technology, the logistics industry, as a new industrial sector in the national economy, will become an important industry and a new growth point of the national economy in this century. Let's take a look at the employment direction of logistics graduate students first!
Logistics engineering majors train compound and applied senior engineering management talents with basic theories and knowledge of logistics, operational research, management, transportation organization, transportation economics, transportation enterprise management, etc. They are suitable for logistics enterprises, transportation enterprises, mechanical or electronic manufacturing enterprises, scientific research institutes, government agencies and other departments, and are engaged in logistics system planning and design, logistics technical equipment and logistics automation system design and integration, and logistics system operation and maintenance. It was established earlier among similar majors in China and has an important position and influence in the field of logistics engineering.
First, the employment prospects of logistics engineering major
Modern logistics is called "undeveloped new continent" and "accelerator to promote economic growth" by the business community. It can be seen that the development space and potential of the logistics industry are infinite. A developed logistics industry will inevitably bring employment. Furthermore, the employment prospect of logistics management major is very good, and logistics professionals are listed as one of the national 12 shortage talents, with a gap of more than 600,000.
The prospect of modern logistics industry is promising. According to the statistics of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, more than 30 provinces and cities have formulated logistics development plans and issued necessary industrial policies. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is compiling the Outline of Logistics Development in China, and has put forward some preliminary opinions on the industrial policy of logistics development. Due to the support of policies, logistics enterprises and enterprise logistics began to enter the fast lane. By 2005, China will form a three-legged situation of public logistics enterprises, private logistics enterprises and foreign logistics enterprises (including Sino-foreign joint ventures). This trend has already appeared in 2003, and it is obviously accelerating. In 5 to 10 years, there will be about 10 nationally recognized leading logistics enterprises in China, which will go international.
Kazari, vice president of Wanluo Universal Pictures, one of the global freight companies, predicted that "the logistics industry in China is expected to maintain an annual growth rate of 20% in the next 10 year." Wu Qingyi, a professor at University of Science and Technology Beijing and director of the Institute of Logistics, believes that the development of modern logistics in China is still in its infancy and the distribution system is not perfect. However, with the popularity of e-commerce, the logistics market potential and development prospects are very broad.
According to the analysis of human resources experts, in the future, in addition to the shortage of logistics talents in warehousing, transportation, distribution, freight forwarding and other fields, relevant systematic management talents, professional operation talents who understand import and export trade, e-commerce logistics talents, and international logistics senior talents who master the relevant knowledge and operation methods such as commodity distribution, capital turnover and cost accounting will be more popular. Logistics professionals have been listed as one of the national 12 shortage talents, with a gap of more than 600,000. It is understood that the most sought-after logistics talents at present are those who have mastered the theories and skills of modern economy, trade, transportation and logistics and have a solid English ability. Their annual salary can reach 6,543,800 yuan.
In winter, northerners can also eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and southern Renye Fang can eat fresh mountain products; Similarly, foreign friends can buy products made in China in their own countries, and we can buy foreign famous brands around us ... It can be said that all this is related to convenient and efficient logistics.
What is logistics? Generally speaking, it is the process of goods transportation, storage, loading and unloading, handling, packaging, distribution, information and service in the field of production and circulation. Logistics engineering is an engineering field that takes logistics system as the research object, and studies the planning and design of logistics system, the optimal allocation of resources, the planning and control of logistics operation process and management. Logistics engineering involves management and technology, and is closely related to transportation engineering, management science and engineering, industrial engineering, computer technology, mechanical engineering and other fields.
The management and technology of logistics engineering require that the specialized courses offered by colleges and universities should be adapted to it. Specialized courses include English, advanced engineering mathematics (numerical calculation, probability theory and mathematical statistics, operational research, statistics, etc. ), introduction to management, transportation engineering, planning and dispatching technology, planning and design of logistics facilities, etc. Perhaps, dear, after reading these courses, you can't help wondering, why do you want to teach English? As a communication tool, language plays an important role in modern international logistics. If people from two countries can't communicate smoothly together, how can they cooperate well? It is also necessary to offer advanced mathematics. As the dispatcher and manager of logistics, if it is not an economic account, how to realize the optimal allocation of resources?
It is worth mentioning that you can take an examination of internationally registered logistics engineers. According to the International Certification Office, there are two levels of professional qualification certification for internationally registered logistics engineers: internationally registered logistics engineers and internationally registered senior logistics engineers. The two certificates can meet the needs of enterprises for talents at different levels.
Modern logistics is called "the undeveloped new continent" and "the accelerator to promote economic growth" by the business community, and is called "the third profit source". At present, logistics professionals have been listed as one of the national 12 talents in short supply, but the annual training scale of logistics professionals in colleges and universities is far from the market demand, especially logistics planning consultation, logistics export-oriented international and logistics scientific research. Graduates majoring in logistics engineering can enter manufacturing, commerce and logistics enterprises to engage in logistics system analysis and design, logistics system operation management, logistics project planning and construction and other related technical and management work, and can also engage in logistics-related work in professional consulting companies, education and training institutions, relevant government departments and other social organizations.
Second, the logistics engineering professional employment direction
All kinds of logistics enterprises, logistics management departments of industrial and commercial enterprises, logistics administrative departments at all levels, transportation enterprises and institutions, logistics system planning and design departments, business and circulation management departments, logistics equipment research and development, sales enterprises, scientific research institutes, colleges and universities, etc. You can also apply for graduate students in logistics management and engineering, management science and engineering, industrial engineering or other economic management.
