In fact, employment is a huge battlefield with different levels of competition. How to locate yourself accurately and find the right battlefield is the key to success.
For example, how to make a wise choice between "phoenix tail" and "chicken head" is one of the troubles of many graduates. Different choices have different effects on the future development of life, whether it is to enter a large institution or a large unit or a grass-roots or small enterprise, whether it is a hot industry or a hard industry that competes for urgently needed talents. College students should have a score in their hearts. The reporter found that it is not uncommon for college students to choose jobs.
For example, many graduates clearly know that it is difficult to enter state-owned enterprises and institutions by their own strength, and their jobs may not be very good, but they still refuse grassroots and township private enterprises that are in urgent need of talents. "Because colleges and universities have good conditions, it's not bad to be a clerk," said Xiao Dan of the Law Department of Sun Yat-sen University.
Liu Yu, a senior student in the Chinese Department of Jinan University, told reporters that she would go to the job fair as long as she took a chance. What if that's a job you don't like? Liu Yu said, "Then let's choose!
The mentality of "casting a wide net and fishing more" accounts for a large part of graduates, who regard it as the "golden rule" for job hunting. Experts believe that this idea of taking chances is actually a sign of indecision. It is wise to define a suitable selection range according to your own situation before submitting your resume, and improve the job-hunting hit rate in a targeted manner.
A survey shows that the salary expected by graduates is obviously higher than that provided by employers: more than half of junior college students think that their monthly salary should be 2,000-4,000 yuan, while 67% of employers think it should be 1000-2,000 yuan, and even nearly 26% of employers think it should be below1000 yuan; More than 50% graduate students offer an ideal monthly salary of more than 5,000 yuan, but only 14% are willing to pay this price. 25% employers set the monthly salary of graduate students below 3,000 yuan, and 38% set it between 3,000 and 4,000 yuan. The salary expectation of college students is obviously higher than the standard of employers, and there is also a gap between them.
This year's special job fair for college graduates will be officially launched at the end of this month. Graduates are preparing for the upcoming job search. However, whether they can find a suitable position or not, they must be good at measuring their employment competitiveness with objective standards in exchange for accurate positioning and bright future.
Employment guidance: avoiding two misunderstandings
As the saying goes, "everything is established in advance, and it is abolished without advance." A teacher who has been providing employment guidance for graduates in colleges and universities for a long time pointed out that without "job hunting" and accurate positioning and analysis, "job hunting" is often counterproductive. In the end, it is hard to say what you want when you apply for a job, but you will fall into all kinds of embarrassment.
Embarrassment 1: "disorderly flowers" charming eyes
Whether applying for civil servants or holding job fairs, graduates will face many choices. If they don't have a steering wheel in their hands, it is inevitable to get lost in many choices. In fact, college students who go to major job fairs are not only selected by employers, but also selected their favorite units. Faced with many choices for the first time, graduates themselves tend to be more picky and spend more money, which seems good, leading to indecision in the decision-making process and missing opportunities. In the end, too high or too low has gained helplessness and embarrassment, and the original good wishes may be exchanged for a grim reality.
Embarrassment 2: throw watermelon and pick up sesame seeds
There is still the employment mentality of "this mountain looks at that mountain" among graduates. I always wanted to find the most "ideal" job, but I didn't know what the so-called "ideal" was, so I missed the best opportunity to choose a job in the search. The career guidance teacher recalled that a few years ago, when some of these students were finishing the job fair, they found that all the students around them had found a place to live. Only they are still "lonely and ownerless" and dare not be picky in panic. Like older girls, they soon found an dissatisfied husband and married themselves.
In fact, "there is no best job, only the job that suits you best." As long as you have laid a solid foundation in your mind before applying for a job, meet your favorite unit and make a choice without losing time, you won't encounter the above embarrassment.
Expert opinions/suggestions
Lock the target and get ready in advance.
Finding a job lies in "finding". Only with some strategies can we talk about finding an ideal position. How can college students find the right criteria for job hunting and make psychological preparations for job hunting?
Talking with graduates, talking with college tutors, and then learning from relevant psychologists, the author found in the interview that the most urgent task for graduates who are now in the preparation period of job hunting is not to find a job, but to position themselves first, that is to say, it is wise to find it first and then find it. How to "find a job"? -Have your own door.
Lock the target and get ready in advance.
A Feng, who studies electronics, is very clear about his job hunting goals. His place of work is Guangzhou or Shenzhen. His work unit is a well-known large enterprise or it company. His salary is more than 3000 yuan. He said that he felt that his conditions were not bad. Even though the employment situation is grim now, he believes that he can find a good job. "I have targeted several units, and then I will see my ability."
Yingying, who just took the CPA exam last weekend, simply said that she was not the "big four accounting firms". Since last year, she made up her mind to make a lot of preparations for the next job search: she went to New Oriental to learn oral English, "chewed" financial newspapers and professional books for a year, and studied hard for three months!
Teacher Huang from the employment guidance department of a university said that it is good for a graduate to have confidence and courage. Students with clear goals like this often know more about the target unit and are better prepared. "Confusion like being at a loss and being at a loss will not appear on them, which is more conducive to them actively looking for their favorite units."
Teacher Huang also reminded that such a high standard positioning does not apply to all graduates, but it is still necessary to accurately position yourself according to your actual situation. Blindly high standard positioning is too blind, and it is easy to be high and low in a narrow employment scope. When choosing a goal, you should also do what you can, and don't be too "stubborn".
Make a "ladder" list of intentions
Foreign companies are the first choice, civil servants are the second, and teachers are the third. This is the job list of foreign language major Jessia. "I studied a foreign language and always wanted to feel the atmosphere of a foreign company, so that I could learn something useful; Choosing civil servants and teachers is to make it stable. " Benny, who is in Jessia's class, also made a list according to her "taste", but not the unit but the region: "Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Zhuhai". "I only consider these three places, and my resume will only be submitted to the appropriate units in these three places."
"You must first make a bottom in your mind-what career do you want to engage in most, and what position to choose next; What is the preferred working city, and what else is under consideration? Make a list, so you won't be too blind when looking for a job. "
Know yourself and yourself, and find the right position.
On the other hand, many college students don't have such a "husband's family" in their hearts, but they still can't find the north after searching for a long time.
Experts engaged in employment guidance say that if this situation does not change, these students are likely to bump into each other like headless flies when the job fair arrives. He summed up a valuable employment experience: know yourself and yourself, and find the right position.
He said: "It is very necessary for graduates to conduct an in-depth and comprehensive evaluation of themselves with the whole job market as the background." "It is not advisable to submit your resume aimlessly to get an interview."
As for how to be a "bosom friend"? Experts believe that the key is to conduct self-analysis realistically: find out your own personality and temperament, grasp your own interests, and understand your own abilities, advantages and disadvantages.
It is undeniable that job hunting is a two-way choice, and the survival of the fittest is eliminated. After several years of study, many students' understanding and feelings about majors and industries have also changed greatly. Some majors change from cold to hot, and some majors change from "short-term" to "long-term". As a student, we should analyze the prospect rationally. "To be more specific, we should also have an understanding of the social environment and work unit of choosing a job, correctly understand the employment situation we are facing, and understand what kind of college graduates the society needs."
Personality determines orientation, and temperament determines business.
Psychologists believe that choosing a career according to personality can achieve the best "docking", thus giving full play to one's intelligence and skills. For example, rational personality is good at careful thinking and weighing advantages and disadvantages, so it is suitable for choosing management, research and education occupations; Art and service occupations are more suitable for people with emotional type's personality, because they usually have strong and rich emotional reactions and strong emotional behaviors.
It is not difficult to find such a phenomenon in life: some people choose the profession of teacher, but they are irritable; Some people choose the profession of journalist, but they are calm and slow. Therefore, when looking for a position for yourself, you should first put aside the attraction of your career and consider whether your temperament is suitable for this job. After all, "the best job is the best for you."
Interest guides the ability to make a balance.
"Interest is the best teacher", which undoubtedly has magical power for human development. Psychologists analyzed, "If you are interested in a career, you will naturally be more aggressive in your work. And if you force yourself to do something you don't want to do, it will not only be difficult to do well, but also waste energy and talent. " Xiaoru, who loves art since childhood, is faced with a dilemma between government agencies and design companies. "One is stable leisure and the other is her own interest, which is more challenging." After repeated consideration, Xiaoru chose the latter. She said she didn't regret her choice. "As long as she is interested, she is not afraid of hard work and pressure."
Any occupation in society has certain requirements for the ability of workers. For accounting, cashier, statistics and other occupations, workers must have strong computing ability; For pilots, surgeons, athletes, dancers and other professional workers, they should have the ability of eye-hand coordination. When choosing a job, first examine your knowledge level and professional ability realistically, so as to find a suitable "useful" job.
In other words, positioning is a comprehensive evaluation, which should be comprehensive: comprehensive personality, temperament, interest, ability, market and other factors. Be clear about what you want to do, what you can do, what society allows you to do and what you need to do.
