But can the postgraduate entrance examination really make your job search smoother and more popular after graduation? Actually, it's not entirely true! When I was brushing the news this morning, I saw an article published by the well-known media window of the South, entitled "Graduate Employment Dilemma: Some people have submitted 300 resumes and have not found a job".
This paper mainly tells the story of three research-oriented graduates' job hunting, so as to expose the plight of graduates' job hunting in the current big market environment. The first one is Zhang Fan, a graduate student from a non-university in Shaanxi, majoring in human geography. He applied for a job many times and almost hit a wall every time. The second is Chen Ju, a graduate student at the University of Leeds in the UK, majoring in cultural creativity and entrepreneurship. She kept submitting resumes, but in the end she didn't "respond"; The third is Wang Yu, a graduate student of a first-class university in Jiangsu, majoring in sociology. Although she can find a job, she is not satisfied.
Although these three people are not very representative, they can also reflect some problems, that is, graduate employment is not superior to undergraduate employment. I think this situation is mainly caused by the following three reasons:
One is that graduate students' expectations of themselves (jobs) are too high, and there is a phenomenon of "eyes are superior but eyes are inferior". Some graduate students think they have a graduate degree. If they have higher education, they should get higher wages and do easier jobs. When I first came out to work, I wanted to be a manager, but I couldn't measure my value correctly. In the end, it was rejected by the company, complaining that the company was "useless".
The second is that the "army" of graduate students is really growing, and graduate education no longer occupies a dominant position. 10 years ago, the enrollment scale of graduate students continued to expand. Now, people with graduate degrees have formed a "huge" group. As the saying goes, "scarcity is precious", in fact, the demand for talents is also the same.
The third is that graduate students may not be as "excellent" as everyone thinks. Generally speaking, the quality of graduate students is declining now, not as good as at the beginning. Many graduate students have the same level of professional knowledge and skills as undergraduates, and some are even worse than undergraduates. Enterprises have no value, and naturally they are not willing to spend "price" on you.
In short, value determines income. When we don't have a certain strength, we should work hard on the ground, and don't always want to look up at the sky, but don't want to look down at the road.
