College Students' Employment Situation and Countermeasures Contemporary college students are very lucky because they are faced with a once-in-a-century opportunity. China will become a rich and powerful world power in their generation, so they have a wider world to display their ambitions. But at the same time of historical opportunities, contemporary college students are also facing unprecedented challenges; Every college student will face the competitive pressure brought by the faster and faster social development. Competition promotes social development and shows the vitality of society; Competition is survival of the fittest. How do college students cope with employment competition? How to gain a foothold? Only your own quality and excellent technology explain everything for you. I. Popular Education and Popular Employment At present, China's higher education has completed the transformation from "elite education" to "popular education", and popular education will inevitably bring popular employment. The employment of college graduates has broken the concept and mechanism of national distribution work, and an employment mechanism of "market orientation, government regulation, school recommendation and two-way choice between students and employers" is being established. In 2005, the total number of college graduates rose from 10 million in the planned economy era to 3.38 million. The total number of graduates in 2006 was close to 3.8 million. According to the initial employment rate of college graduates announced by the Ministry of Education in recent years, the initial employment rate is about 70%, so it is conceivable how much pressure there is on college students' employment competition. Therefore, college graduates must improve their job-hunting awareness and workplace competitiveness, and establish a brand-new employment concept of "employment first, then career choice" with a positive attitude, that is, survival first, then development. At present, it is an indisputable fact that "employment is difficult"; But "employment difficulty" is relative. According to the statistical data released by the authoritative department of the state, China's economy is in a rapidly rising development stage, which can increase10 million jobs every year, especially the high-skilled and practical talents are very scarce. In this big job market, college graduates are undoubtedly the best group. We have reason to believe that every graduate can get a relatively satisfactory job as soon as possible by changing his employment concept and relying on his own knowledge and quality. Second, change the concept of employment and strengthen their own quality. In the past planned economy era, the employment of college students was a national planned distribution, which was the traditional "package distribution". With the reform of the economic system and employment system, college graduates can no longer wait for the national package distribution, but should make full use of the job market created by the whole society; Act according to market rules and integrate individuals into it. In other words, in the face of the employment situation and job market, college graduates can't "wait, rely on and want", let alone expect a pie to fall from the sky. We should adopt a positive attitude, establish the concept of market economy, and constantly improve our sense of competition and comprehensive competitiveness. We advocate graduates to "find jobs before choosing jobs" and attach great importance to the necessary tempering when leaving school; Judging from the law of talent development and success, anyone who has a successful career has grown up from the grassroots level and from the front line of work. And aim high, aim high, flashy, and can only accomplish nothing. As college students or graduates who are about to leave school, they should recognize the popularization and marketization of employment, strengthen their own quality, and know what kind of talents employers choose. The principle of employing units is usually to choose the person who is most qualified for the job. Specifically: knowledgeable, talented and quality, respect and dedication, hard-working, team spirit and pioneering spirit. Secondly, we also pay great attention to politeness, temperament, language expression and communication skills. This requires graduates to have solid professional knowledge, practical skills and high personal quality. 3. Job-seeking materials and employment channels Job-seeking materials are a careful combination of personal data, an effective proof of personal identity and a "passport for interview". Every graduate must adhere to the principle of good faith and carefully create his own "passport" in order to successfully embark on the road of job hunting. Job information is generally divided into two types: personal production and unified format in colleges and universities. Their contents basically include cover letter (or cover letter), resume, performance evaluation form provided by the school, various award-winning certificates during school, professional qualifications and skills certificates, and employment in social activities inside and outside the school. The unified production of colleges and universities also includes the introduction of schools and majors. A good cover letter should be the most convincing and touching. The format of the letter should be standardized, the words should be sincere, and the content should be realistic, but it should not be the same; The length of the letter should be appropriate (based on one page), and special attention should be paid to the expression of personal characteristics, such as personal strengths, specialties or specialties. It is the best policy to write a cover letter according to the work requirements of the employer. Resume filling requires true content, highlighting professional characteristics and personal advantages. You should be able to clearly show your education, skills, interests, ambitions, etc. , and show your ability to complete the task and the potential to be developed. 1, take advantage of internship opportunities and actively strive to be hired by internship units; Or look for employment opportunities in the internship area. 2. Use family and social relations to find employment opportunities. 3. Seek employment opportunities (including civil servant recruitment and job fairs) through the employment information of government talent market and labor employment center. 4. Find employment opportunities through job fairs arranged by the education authorities and internal job fairs in relevant universities. 5. Find employment opportunities through recruitment websites at all levels in China and various local and educational websites. 6. Looking for employment opportunities through the recruitment information of TV, newspapers and other propaganda media. 7. Find employment opportunities directly through employment agencies established in universities or other effective channels. After obtaining the information you are satisfied with or interested in through the above channels, if the journey is far away, you can contact by phone first, and then mail the job application materials or send an email, waiting for a reply. If the journey is short, you can call directly to get an interview. Interview is the last stop of successful employment, so remember to grasp it well. Be fully prepared before the interview, which can accurately reflect the self-introduction in the materials. Secondly, we should pay special attention to civility and politeness in details, dress neatly and generously, listen carefully and answer in time; Answer clearly, moderately and hierarchically, preferably in Mandarin. If you do this, congratulations, the employer has opened the door for you. Fourth, social concern and colleges and universities attach importance to the employment of college students. It is not easy for college students to find jobs, which has aroused widespread concern in society, especially in the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. It is believed that the employment of college students is related to the vital interests of the people, the overall situation of reform, development and stability, the healthy development of higher education and the realization of building a well-off society in an all-round way. As the front line of work, colleges and universities put the employment of graduates in a more prominent position, and do a good job in employment with a more positive attitude, more powerful measures and more solid actions. Colleges and universities have set up employment leading institutions headed by party and government leaders, with special offices. Pay attention to the employment consultation and guidance of graduates, collect information extensively, form an information transmission network, and establish a training base and an internal permanent market. Secondly, reform the educational model, adjust the specialty setting and promote educational innovation; Especially in higher vocational colleges, it is the ultimate goal to cultivate high-quality, high-quality skilled and practical talents.
