Because history major is a long-term major, the social demand mainly comes from teaching units, and because of the blind expansion of enrollment and the expansion of the number of graduates, the saturated employment market of this major has always been in a bad situation of oversupply. The competition is fierce.

Judging from the employer's situation:

First, the requirements for academic qualifications are getting higher and higher. If you are employed in higher education and scientific research institutions in large and medium-sized cities, all graduates are required to have master's and doctoral degrees, and most of them need excellent doctoral graduates. Secondary teaching units in large and medium-sized cities require graduates with master's degree or above, and some key middle schools even need doctoral graduates.

Second, pay special attention to the majors of graduates, which must be the majors required by employers. Because the employment market of this major has been in a situation of oversupply for a long time, employers require graduates to have good academic qualifications and high academic qualifications, and the degree of professional counterparts is very strict.

Third, pay attention to compound talents, not only pay attention to graduates' academic performance and school performance, but also require band 4 and now basically trend to band 6, and the computer ability is above the national level 2. Getting a double degree is relatively more popular.

Fourth, employers require job seekers to have rich relevant work experience, which is an absolute disadvantage that fresh graduates do not have.

Of course, the history department also has its own advantages. History covers a wide range, including literature, history, philosophy, economy and politics. Not only can you easily enter other fields during the postgraduate entrance examination, but you can also be competent for other liberal arts majors.

Analysis of employment direction: history is a basic subject, and there is less relative demand for occupations corresponding to majors. The employment direction is quite extensive, and graduates can meet the needs of high-level talents in planning, consulting, management, teaching and scientific research.
