It is difficult for college students to find jobs.
In 2008, it was more difficult for college students to find jobs.

The talent market in the Year of the Rat ushered in the recruitment peak. Four job fairs * * * provided nearly 10,000 jobs for 478 household units, attracting 20,000 to 30,000 applicants. The reporter found in an interview-

A few days ago, the major talent markets in the province ushered in the first round of recruitment peak after the Spring Festival. Last weekend alone, there were four job fairs in Lanzhou, namely, the provincial high-tech talent market, the provincial talent market, the China Lanzhou engineering and technical talent market and the Chengguan District human resources market. According to statistics, a total of 478 job fairs provided nearly 10,000 jobs with different needs for all kinds of talents. On Saturday and Sunday, * * * attracted 20,000 to 30,000 applications.

Different from previous years, this job fair is the first large-scale comprehensive job fair after the implementation of the new Labor Contract Law. In addition, spring is the peak season for talent recruitment, and many enterprises have accelerated the pace of "grabbing" talents. At this job fair, hundreds of household units were stationed in Naxian County, providing 5,727 jobs. According to the relevant person in charge of the talent market, the number of "job-hopping" employees increased greatly before and after the Spring Festival, and the number of people who resigned to go home for the New Year made this job fair a rare hot scene, making it the year with the largest number of jobs in previous spring job fairs.

Job fairs are like fairs.

At 9: 00 a.m. on February 23, the reporter saw in the provincial high-tech talent market that there were a sea of people inside and outside the recruitment venue. Due to the large number of applicants, there are dozens of staff members who maintain order inside and outside the venue. When college students often walk from the third floor to the fourth floor of the job fair, they are squeezed by the crowd and sweating. I often sigh while wiping my sweat: "There are too many people, which is simply fatal. This is not a job fair, it is simply a big supermarket or a job fair. "

The reporter noticed that although there are many employers, 80% of them have made the recruitment conditions of "experienced people first", which makes many college students with no work experience retreat when they see the recruitment conditions. In addition, many companies listed the salary standard of 700 yuan-1000 yuan. Some college students hesitated when they saw the salary standard. College student Yao said that in 2002, they graduated from a Chinese medicine school in the province and worked in hospitals, pharmacies, beauty salons and clinics. Many units only say that they can get a salary increase after the probation period, but in fact, the highest salary they get in recent years is just 780 yuan. Not to mention hard work, the most important thing is whether there is a corresponding return. Therefore, the first condition for them to find a job now is that their salary is above 1000 yuan, otherwise everything will be out of the question.

Subsequently, the reporter saw at the other two job fairs that although there are many employers in each job fair, more than 80% of the employers are non-public enterprises and there are a large number of private enterprises. The proportion of employers outside the province is less than 10%. College students often submit a stack of beautifully printed resumes to 10 companies. Throughout the morning, he heard the most' reply': "Go back first, we will accept the resume. If you are hired, I will inform you later. " Some units also clearly told him that the unit is undertaking a project, and the project has only a five-year construction period. Therefore, they hired temporary workers.

At the recruitment site, the reporter saw many employers yawning or holding mobile phones for a long time during the recruitment process. Inside and outside the venue, upstairs and downstairs, a large number of beautifully printed leaflets were trampled by people coming and going.

Question 1: June 2008 65438+ 10/,the Labor Contract Law was formally implemented. The implementation of this new law undoubtedly makes many job seekers very excited, which means the expansion of employment and the strengthening of employment security. But in fact, college students encounter the following situations at job fairs.

Unit: The cost increases, making it difficult to select candidates.

College students: it is more difficult to find a unit when the new law is introduced.

On 23rd, Zhi Yao, a college student, ran three job fairs in a row, and finally chose an automobile manufacturing enterprise with a salary of 1500 yuan. However, in the face of many applicants, Zhi Yao's resume was quickly shelved. Zhi Yao is a little worried. He rushed to the recruitment desk and asked the person in charge of recruitment why he didn't read his resume carefully. The person in charge said impatiently, "How many units can sign labor contracts throughout the job fair?" We are a formal enterprise. Once you are hired, we will sign a labor contract in the future to provide generous labor security. Your resume is too exaggerated and lacks completeness, so we decided not to consider it for the time being. "

The person in charge explained to the reporter that because the Labor Contract Law tends to protect the rights and interests of workers, it also restricts the dishonest behavior of workers in the workplace. According to the relevant provisions of the Labor Contract Law, if an employee's resume contains false or exaggerated contents, the employer may dismiss him without paying any compensation. The person in charge stressed that with the implementation of the Labor Contract Law, the cost of employing people has greatly increased, which will also make employers more cautious and picky when recruiting college students, and pay more attention to the ability of college students rather than academic qualifications.

Question 2: Although there was a recruitment golden week at the end of February, the recruitment venue was crowded with people. But what reporters hear most is that most employers are lamenting that it is too difficult to recruit an outstanding talent who meets the job requirements. And many college students are also lamenting that it is too difficult to find a job that suits them and can be guaranteed.

Unit: It is difficult to recruit people.

College students: It is more difficult to find a job.

In the corner of the job fair, Mr. Zhang, the head of a container company, is burying his face in his hands, looking sleepy with nothing to do. He told reporters that the company is a Sino-foreign joint venture, and all the equipment and instruments used are imported from abroad, so it is best to recruit people with work experience to work directly. Otherwise, enterprises have to pay a certain training cost. Many times, if the employees who have worked hard to train change jobs again, it will be a huge loss for enterprises and a waste of training costs.

A person in charge of the talent market, who asked not to be named, said that today, the job fair has fallen into such a strange circle. Although the demand for talents and positions is increasing, the number of college graduates is doubling every year. However, employers, especially non-public enterprises, generally recruit experienced employees and are unwilling to undertake the obligation of training. However, college students lack work experience, but they demand higher salary and good working environment. The current situation is that the unit can't recruit suitable people, and talents can't find suitable jobs. As a result, the pressure of talent competition is increasing.

Question 3: Observing the above four job fairs, there is a striking phenomenon, that is, the "employment difficulty" of college students and the "shortage of skilled workers" coexist.

Society: shortage of skilled workers

College students: employment is difficult.

Mr. Chen is the head of a supermarket. On the 24th, he was responsible for recruiting supermarket staff at the job fair. There were 15 jobs, but only 7 of them finally reached an agreement of intent. Teacher Chen said with some helplessness that the current college students have a vague understanding of the situation, can't correctly understand themselves, and can't reasonably position themselves. The concept of employment is particularly outdated. What happened to the supermarket staff? As far as the service industry is concerned, this is a decent and easy job. As far as the maintenance post is concerned, the technical content is not too high. Usually it's just repairing the circuit, which is often very leisure. The monthly salary is 700-800 yuan, which can fully guarantee the basic living. I can't figure out why these college students can't put down their airs.

In this regard, Li Tongxue, who graduated from Lanzhou University, explained that it was not easy to "carp yue longmen" and get the university notice to go abroad. I have mastered a lot of relevant professional knowledge in my four years of college life. Although I have dropped out of school for two years, I can't give up my major for a living and do a job that only junior high school students can do, can I? Look again, and you will always find a job that suits you. analyse

Four reasons lead to the difficulty of college students' employment.

Liu Xun, director of Information Institute of Gansu Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the current education system adopts a planned mode in enrollment and teaching, but it follows a market economy mode in talent output, and graduates choose their own jobs. The result of the collision between the two is that employment is difficult. Because some employment guidance centers are often located in the education sector, they cannot be in line with the market or society. As a result, the employment guidance center cannot guide employment, and it is difficult for talents to find a suitable platform in the process of job hunting.

"Secondly, the majors set up in colleges and universities are lagging behind and do not meet the market demand." A teacher of Lanzhou University who asked not to be named said. He believes that at present, the professional setting of some colleges and universities is not market-oriented, but simply based on their own teacher conditions, which is very arbitrary. Some colleges and universities blindly pursue hot majors, which leads to the serious convergence of students, the graduation output is out of proportion to the social demand, and the supply is seriously greater than the demand.

"The market needs buns, but the school sends cakes." The teacher believes that many college students think that machinery, electronics, civil engineering, economics and management engineering are all popular majors, but in fact, the gap between biomedicine, urban development, modern logistics, automobiles and complete sets of equipment, new materials, intermediary services and senior skilled workers is even greater.

Social employment pressure is the third reason that aggravates the employment difficulties of college graduates. The data show that in 2007, there were more than 53,000 graduates from 3 1 non-normal colleges in Gansu province, an increase of 23.5% over last year and 3.5 percentage points higher than the national average. There are nearly 6.5438+0.7 million graduates from eight normal colleges in the province, which is basically the same as last year. At the same time, the total supply of urban labor force in Gansu Province reached 350,000 this year, while the planned urban employment in Gansu Province was only 6.5438+0.5 million, and the employment gap reached about 200,000. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education on the supply-demand ratio of college graduates in 30 provinces in China, it was 1:0.93 in 2005 and 1:0.83 in 2006, and the demand was relatively reduced. Not long ago, the relevant leaders in the province pointed out that this year and even in the future, the contradiction between the rapidly increasing number of people and the limited number of jobs is very prominent, and the employment competition is unprecedentedly fierce.

"The backward concept of social employment is another important reason that affects the employment difficulties of college students." In the interview, people from different industries pointed out the same problem. According to relevant analysis, the social background is changing, especially higher education, which has moved from "elite education" to "mass education". Therefore, college students and parents must change their employment concept and truly realize the transformation to "popular education". With the mentality and orientation of an ordinary worker, we should participate in employment selection and competition, adjust unrealistic employment expectations, proceed from our own conditions, and appropriately choose employment on the premise of correctly judging the situation. Only in this way can we give full play to our intelligence in the space of flexible employment, realize our life value and find our place in the fierce employment competition.
