I hope to find a good job.

"Did you sign it? What unit is it? " This is what the reporter heard the most when interviewing recent college graduates in Heilongjiang Province a few days ago. As it is the second year of enrollment expansion in colleges and universities, the employment pressure faced by graduates in 2004 is much greater than before. Among nearly 100 students interviewed by reporters alone, more than 75% students regard "being able to find a good job" as their primary goal at present. Xiao Liu, a fresh graduate of Heilongjiang University, told the reporter: "Now college students have relatively high ability and quality, so we all hope to find a company with relatively development space and brand effect, so that we can improve ourselves and contribute to the company." It is with this desire that the 2004 fresh graduates began to look for enterprises suitable for their future development from last year 10.

However, it seems that the result is not satisfactory. The reporter's investigation found that among this year's fresh graduates, the number of people who signed the employment agreement for graduates of ordinary colleges and universities nationwide did not account for the majority. At present, only13 of the students and enterprises in a department with more than 200 people in Northeast Agricultural University have reached the employment intention, while the signing rate of a department with more than 600 people in Heilongjiang University is only 25%. According to the reporter's understanding, major enterprises are now more willing to hire students who have participated in social practice in universities, because once they sign contracts with enterprises, they can quickly enter the working state, which is more beneficial to enterprises with fierce competition.

Second hope: admitted to graduate school.

Among the nearly 100 students interviewed by the reporter, 25% participated in the national postgraduate entrance examination held in June+10 this year. Seven of them were informed to take part in the second interview. Han Xiao, a college student in Heilongjiang, told reporters: "I really hope to have the opportunity to continue my studies." Nowadays, there are still many fresh graduates who have the idea of Han Xiao. Most of them hope to make progress in their studies and learn more through the postgraduate entrance examination. Xiao Tu, another graduate who received the notice of re-examination, said: "After four years in college, the knowledge we have learned is still very limited. I hope that I can learn and understand the knowledge I am interested in more deeply when I am young, which is also a good accumulation for my future work. "

The annual postgraduate entrance examination provides graduates with a good opportunity for further study. At the same time, people are also thinking: with the rapid development of society and increasingly fierce competition today, why do so many outstanding graduates choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination instead of going to society? It is understood that in 2004, the number of college graduates nationwide reached 2.8 million. Together with the unemployed in 2003, it is estimated that the number of graduates entering the job market will be around 3 million. It is such a severe employment situation that many students join the postgraduate entrance examination in order to avoid employment. In Heilongjiang province alone, 34,524 people signed up for the postgraduate entrance examination this year, including 20,399 undergraduate graduates, accounting for 60% of the total number. In this regard, a fresh graduate who took part in this year's postgraduate examination frankly told reporters: "In recent years, undergraduates have faced great employment pressure, but the demand for graduate students is in short supply, so more than half of the students in our class have chosen to take the postgraduate entrance examination." It is such a situation that many fresh graduates hope to be admitted to graduate school this year.

Three hopes: crossing the ocean for further study

"Our knowledge is too narrow, which may be difficult to achieve after China's entry into the WTO, so I think we should go abroad and learn more advanced foreign technologies and knowledge, so that we can better build our homeland when we return from school." Zou Ning, a fresh graduate of Northeast Agricultural University, told reporters her thoughts. Now is the peak time for college graduates to find jobs. Unlike most students who are running around looking for jobs, some college students are waiting for the issuance of visas, and they are looking forward to going abroad for further study as soon as possible. Of the 60 students interviewed by the reporter, 5 have received graduate admission notices from universities in Japan, Britain, the United States, New Zealand, Australia and other countries.

There are still many college graduates going abroad with Zou Ning's idea, and the upsurge of college graduates going abroad is also a way to alleviate the employment pressure. Xiao Cui, a graduate, told the reporter frankly: "My academic performance in school is not outstanding, and I can't find a good job at present. I hope that studying abroad can lay the foundation for returning to China to find a job in the future. " Going abroad with such an idea, they hope to change their lives through such a road.

Expectation: Looking for entrepreneurial opportunities as soon as possible.

Among the recent graduates interviewed, 10% hope to have the opportunity to start a business. "I don't want to live a stable life like my parents. I want to create a sky for myself, so no matter how difficult it is to start a business, I will stick to it. " Xiao Zhao, a recent graduate of Harbin Institute of Technology, told reporters with emotion. It is not uncommon for ambitious college graduates like Xiao Zhao. Through their understanding of entrepreneurship, the reporter saw the team spirit and enterprising spirit of contemporary college students from them. Regardless of the outcome, "the opportunity to start a business" will add an unusual experience to their lives. Xiao Chen, a fresh graduate of harbin university of science and technology, began to prepare for starting a business after graduation when he was a sophomore. During his college years, he extensively read books on entrepreneurship, and invested the lucky money accumulated every year in the stock market, which benefited a lot. Now that the university is about to graduate, he and his classmates have found a good shop to start a business.
