Employment is the top priority of every family, and the employment of college students is a common problem for all students. The employment difficulty of college students has become a hot spot of social concern. With the transformation of China's higher education from elite education to popular education, the number of college graduates keeps rising every year, and a considerable number of them will no longer be able to enjoy preferential policies such as national student loans, scholarships and work-study programs, which makes the employment situation of college graduates increasingly severe. In recent years, although the employment rate of college students has increased, the continuous decline in the employment rate has caused more and more people to worry about the employment of college graduates.

First, the number of college graduates is increasing year by year, and the employment pressure is increasing.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of college graduates nationwide reached 7.47 million in 20 15, an increase of 654.38+10,000 compared with 20 14. Faced with such a huge employment pressure, the Ministry of Education published the Statistical Report on the Employment of Graduates from Colleges and Universities in 20 14 in June, 2000. It shows that the number of graduates from colleges and universities nationwide reached 6.67 million in 20 14. This means that in the past year, nearly 5 million college graduates across the country could not find jobs.

At the same time, with the transformation of China's economic development mode, the requirements of the state for the employment of college graduates have also changed. With the implementation of the strategy of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation", a large number of market players have been added in China, and quite a few of these market players are young people born in the 1980s or even 1990s. Correspondingly, the number of college graduates in China is increasing year by year.

Second, the employment concept of college graduates is more traditional.

In the modern social and economic environment, the traditional employment concept of "employment first, then choosing a job" still exists. At present, under the background of China's economic development entering a new normal and industrial structure upgrading and adjustment, college graduates are facing greater challenges and competition in the job market, and their lack of self-employment ability and psychological quality also restricts their employability to some extent.

In addition, college graduates lack planning and positioning for their own career development, can't clearly understand the gap between their own knowledge and skills and their career development needs, and just blindly pursue professional counterparts or related majors, which leads to the phenomenon that their professional knowledge is not solid enough and their professional ability is not strong enough in the employment competition.

In addition, there is a phenomenon that college students only pay attention to academic qualifications and diplomas in the process of job hunting, and only pay attention to the requirements of academic qualifications for enterprise recruitment positions, while ignoring the cultivation of their own quality and ability; Some graduates have the phenomenon of "being too high to be too low" in the process of job hunting, and they lack correct professional values and job selection views. These are the main reasons why it is difficult for college students to find jobs.

Third, the employment competitiveness of college students has declined.

In the labor market, it is a global phenomenon for college students to find jobs. Although the employment situation of college students in China is better than that in other countries, overall, the employment situation of college students in China is still grim.

Some localities and universities lack a clear understanding of the relationship between schools and localities, between schools and students, and between schools and society when dealing with the employment of graduates. Some localities and universities can't correctly handle the relationship between talent training and social demand, and unilaterally pursue so-called "hot" majors, which leads to the imbalance of professional structure. In addition, with the transformation of higher education from elite education to mass education, the number of college graduates continues to grow. However, the quality of college graduates has not kept up. Compared with other countries, the quality of university graduates in China is still in the lower-middle level. This makes it difficult for some college students to find jobs.
