First, the employment status of college students

The contradiction between supply and demand of college graduates is prominent.

Since the introduction of the enrollment expansion policy from 65438 to 0999, the number of college students has increased rapidly. According to statistics, the national college graduates in 2008? 5.6 million? 20 18 the first breakthrough of college graduates in China? 8 million people, 20 19 national college graduates? Da? 8.34 million people, expected to reach in 2020? 8.74 million.

With the rapid increase of the number of college graduates, the social demand has not increased correspondingly, especially the effective demand has only limited growth in the short term.

Second, the reasons for the employment difficulties of college students

1. College graduates have outdated employment concepts, low quality and lack job-hunting skills.

First of all, college students' employment concept is backward and their employment expectations are too high. Influenced by the traditional view of employment and planned economy, there is a great deviation between college students' view of job selection and social needs, which does not meet the development requirements of socialist market economy.

Many graduates believe that only by getting a job at a higher level and staying in a big city can we reflect the value of life and realize our ideals. A considerable number of graduates would rather go to big cities and developed coastal areas than work in small and medium-sized enterprises, grass-roots units and rural areas.

Secondly, their own quality is not suitable for the needs of employers. Some graduates have a high position on themselves and overestimate their quality and ability, but in fact they can't meet the needs of employers. Many employers don't want fresh graduates. They think that fresh graduates have poor sense of responsibility, low loyalty, lack of innovative consciousness and practical ability, and lack of professional ethics and professionalism.

Finally, students lack job-hunting skills. Some students are often insecure and nervous when applying for a job, and hesitate when answering questions, so they can't really show their strength.

2. The enrollment expansion policy has led to an increase in the number of graduates.

The enrollment expansion of colleges and universities is a strategic policy based on increasing the supply of senior talents, stimulating consumption, promoting economic growth and maintaining the sustained and healthy development of the national economy. But its short-term benefit is not ideal. Since the introduction of the enrollment expansion policy in colleges and universities from 65438 to 0999, the enrollment rate of school-age youth in China has increased year by year, resulting in an increase in graduates year by year.

In 200 1 year, there are * *1150,000 college graduates nationwide, and by 2020, this number will reach 8.74 million. Such a huge crowd will inevitably bring great employment pressure.

3. The major setting in colleges and universities is unreasonable, ignoring the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality.

Colleges and universities can't effectively adjust specialty settings according to market demand. Often the majors offered lag behind the development of society and cannot be adjusted according to market demand.

According to their own teachers' conditions, the specialty setting is blind and can not meet the actual needs of employers; In other words, according to the market demand in the year of enrollment, it is difficult to grasp whether the market can fully absorb some students in a few years. This has become an important reason that restricts the employment of college students.

In addition, the neglect of students' comprehensive quality training in colleges and universities should not be underestimated. At present, colleges and universities ignore the improvement of students' comprehensive quality in talent training. Many colleges and universities only teach students some specialized courses, and pay little attention to the cultivation of other qualities, which leads to the poor practical ability and psychological quality of students and can not meet the social requirements, thus aggravating the employment difficulties of college graduates.

College graduates should change their employment concept and improve their core competitiveness;

Facing the increasingly severe employment situation, first of all, college graduates should face up to the reality, make a correct social orientation for themselves, have a clear understanding of their abilities, give up unrealistic ideas, lower their psychological expectations of job hunting, and make full use of various channels to get employment as soon as possible.

During their study in school, college students should pay attention to participating in social practice activities, do some work related to future majors or industries in their spare time, accumulate rich practical experience, make up for the lack of knowledge and experience, deepen their understanding of society, enhance their social adaptability and sense of social responsibility, and make preparations for better integration into and service to society.

In addition, college students should also plan their own careers. College students should start from their own reality, find out what they want to do, what they can do, analyze their own strength, value and demand, and then consider the feasibility, which is commonly known as "career planning". As soon as college students enter the university, they should start their career planning and set long-term goals for their own development.
