(1) The idealization of college students' employment concept after 1980s is still serious. The proportion of public institutions is relatively high, the proportion of state-owned enterprises and government institutions is relatively stable, the proportion of private enterprises and private enterprises is low, and the willingness to start their own businesses has increased, but it is still insufficient.

(2) Salary and welfare are no longer the primary factor in employment consideration, but the realization of personal value becomes the primary consideration. Great changes have taken place in college students' thoughts and behaviors after 1980s. They all put more emphasis on the publicity of individuality and the realization of self-worth.

(3) Western cities and grass-roots units are attractive to college students' employment, but they have some concerns. At present, the severe employment situation and the vast employment space in western cities and grass-roots units make some college students choose to work in western and grass-roots units voluntarily or forced. However, many factors, such as unfamiliarity with others, fear of being excluded, limited development space, and their own difficulties, make most college students worried and discouraged.

(4) Pay attention to social practice, make objective self-evaluation, and have mature employment psychology. The vast majority of "post-80s" have lost the feeling of "favored by heaven". Their self-positioning is more practical and objective, and they pay more attention to the exercise of personal ability by social practice. However, the form of social practice is single, and the channels of social exercise are not smooth, but in the face of possible problems in employment, they are fully prepared psychologically and have strong ability to resist setbacks.

Employment consciousness that should be formed:

(1) Understand the situation clearly, put yourself in a correct position, and know yourself objectively, fairly and comprehensively.

(2) change the concept of employment, broaden the employment ideas, give play to their own advantages and characteristics, and rationally obtain employment.

(3) Establish a correct job-hunting mentality, base yourself on the grassroots, enhance the confidence of self-employment and improve the ability of self-adjustment.
