1, the environment is tough: fierce competition but insufficient preparation, and I started looking for a job soon after graduation.

It is not a new topic for college students to find jobs, but this topic has lasted for a long time, especially in recent years, almost every graduation season has become the most difficult season for employment. The number of graduates will increase by about 200,000 every year, and by 20 15, there will be 7.49 million college graduates. In this case, the road to job hunting for college students is doomed to be arduous.

When college students are in school, their employment awareness is not strong. Most of the students didn't start looking for a job until the graduation season, and they temporarily wrote resumes for interviews through employment counseling. In this case, the probability of success is naturally not high, and it takes time to look at opportunities.

2. There is a big gap in my heart: highly educated people can't get a good job.

When I was admitted to the university, students and their parents felt that a bright future beckoned not far away. But when I graduated, I found that going to college is not everything, and a diploma can't be exchanged for a golden rice bowl. With the increasing number of college students, the aura that once hung over college students seems to suddenly disappear, which makes it difficult for many students who have studied hard since childhood to get ahead when they grow up.

3. Vocational guidance courses are not omnipotent.

It is difficult to find a job, and everyone thinks their major is useless. At this time, the hope of finding a job is pinned on the course of college job-hunting counseling. However, most of the courses of job-hunting counseling will tell you some general methods to find a job, which is universal, so even after taking such courses, many students still can't find a job. Moreover, the career guidance course is a relatively short-term course, and the difficulties that college students will face cannot be solved systematically.

4. Bad beliefs of graduates are the root cause of psychological problems after job hunting frustration.

We often see some reports, such as college students leaving home or even committing suicide after being frustrated in finding a job. To solve these problems fundamentally, it is necessary for college students to change some bad beliefs in the process of finding jobs. And these courses are lacking in the employment counseling courses in general colleges and universities.

2. The role of Baker's cognitive behavioral therapy in solving college students' psychological problems after job hunting frustration.

1, basic principle introduction

Baker has been engaged in psychoanalytic therapy for many years, and he is very interested in the automatic thinking of the clients (that is, special stimuli will trigger individual unique ideas, which will lead to emotional reactions). He believes that the causes of psychological problems are rooted in ordinary psychological processes, such as thinking defects, jumping to incorrect inferences based on incorrect or insufficient information, and being unable to distinguish fantasy from reality. Baker advocates teaching the parties how to identify distorted and dysfunctional cognition through the evaluation process, so that the other party can learn to distinguish the gap between their own ideas and reality, and then understand the influence of cognition on feelings, behaviors and even events in the environment.

2. The specific application of Baker's cognitive behavioral therapy technology.

Baker believes that the fundamental reason why people are in a bad mood is the problem of personal self-concept. Is that there is something wrong with the core belief. When college students apply for a job, they will immediately have bad emotions or negative emotions because of some setbacks. The fundamental reason is that college students have problems with their core beliefs.

Baker divides negative core beliefs into three categories.

First, it is related to helplessness, that is, feeling incompetent. The existence of this belief makes it easy for people to deny themselves when they are in a competitive relationship. When they do things, they encounter a little problem and feel incompetent. If they do things well, they will completely deny themselves. When college students apply for jobs, they are also faced with the relationship of competition with others. When they fail to find a job, it is easy to have bad feelings and even extreme behaviors because of negative core beliefs.

Second, it has something to do with being unlovable, that is, feeling unloved in life, especially among relatives. Then I feel that I am not thin and unpopular in interpersonal relationships. This belief will lead college students to acquiesce that they may not be liked by employers in job interviews, so they naturally show self-confidence and poor communication in interviews. The interview effect is naturally not good. On the other hand, because the interview effect is not good, it deepens its negative core beliefs.

Third, being bad/worthless means feeling useless to others. In the process of finding a job, this belief can easily make college students feel that they are worthless to the employing company, so they will be rejected, and then feel that they are useless and can't find a job.

Negative core beliefs usually have the characteristics of generalization, overgeneralization and absoluteness. Therefore, it is easy for college students to question themselves after being frustrated in job hunting. For example, going to college is useless. If I had known, I might as well go directly to the technical school to learn a professional skill. For example, I am introverted and can't do this job. At this time, bad emotions will affect all aspects of their lives, feeling sorry for their parents and feeling incompetent. So there will be many social phenomena, or escape behaviors such as running away from home and committing suicide.

3. How to use Baker's cognitive therapy to make college students face employment difficulties actively?

To fundamentally solve the psychological problems of college students who are frustrated in job hunting, we must correct their negative core beliefs and finally redefine and define their core beliefs. In the job-seeking counseling, it is also necessary to design a new, more practical and more functional belief for college students, and guide them to correctly face the job-seeking setbacks and various maladjustments when they first enter the workplace.

First, establish the structural form of new beliefs.

1, adverb of degree+positive feature. I am a popular person most of the time. that

2. Positive features+negative features. For example, I am a professional person, but I don't like to show myself.

Second, continue to provide evidence to prove new core beliefs.

1, to help college students review and collect more successful cases, such as exam results, such as work content in club activities.

2. Help college students explore their hobbies and advantages, such as the recognition of teachers and classmates and the positive comments of friends.

Third, promote communication between college students and their parents.

Job hunting for college students is not only a personal matter for college students, but also a matter for college students' whole family. At this time, the communication between college students and their parents is particularly important. It is a common phenomenon for college students to find jobs. In the process of job hunting, college students need parents' understanding and support. Nowadays, many college students' job-hunting pressure comes not only from competition, but also from their families. Many parents think that others can find a job, but their children can't, which is the incompetence of their children. There are also many parents who place unrealistic hopes on their children's job hunting, hoping that their children can find all kinds of glamorous jobs.

Therefore, in college employment counseling, we should also teach college students how to communicate with their parents, how to understand their expectations, and how to get their support and understanding. In this way, in job hunting, students will reduce a lot of worries.

Cognitive therapy is essentially a psychological education model, because it emphasizes that therapy is a learning process, including acquiring and practicing new technologies and learning new ways of thinking, so as to deal with problem situations more effectively. Therefore, in college students' employment counseling, adding relevant theories and technologies can not only help college students play a better role in job interviews, but also help them learn a way of thinking when they first enter the workplace, improve their bad emotions, increase their reasonable cognition, and lay a good foundation for better work and interpersonal communication in society in the future.
