What career choices should college students make?
Diversification of employment channels.

The survey shows that the ways of graduates choosing jobs are more and more diversified. The usual choices are job fairs for graduates, school recommendations, introductions from relatives and friends, and employment agencies. In the past, college students liked to rely on their parents or teachers for employment, but now they begin to admire themselves and know themselves scientifically with a calm mind, so as to achieve the best employment combination of both the supply and demand sides. Nowadays, some important changes have taken place in the concept and means of graduates' job hunting. Online job hunting has become an important means for contemporary college students to find jobs. Publishing information on resources and needs on the Internet has increasingly become a new fashion for college students to find jobs, and it has also realized the extension of the employment market from tangible to intangible. With the development of the Internet age, it will become more convenient and faster to obtain information from online job hunting. All employment information can be seen at a glance by tapping the keyboard. The survey shows that 39% of students find jobs through job fairs, 20% through relatives and friends, 18% through the help of school teachers, 10% through the internet, and only 7% through newspapers and magazines. Nowadays, when college students choose a job, they take the unit with good conditions, high salary and excellent treatment as the main choice direction. The comprehensive strength, promotion and development opportunities of employment units are also very important conditions for students. It should be pointed out that if employment itself is regarded as an investment, paying too much attention to immediate interests may lose long-term interests.

Diversification of choices after graduation

Whether to join the work immediately after graduation has become a problem that graduates begin to consider. More and more graduates are not in a hurry to "implement the employment plan" when they are employed, but have other plans according to their own conditions, and there is a new trend of "graduation without employment". Some people choose to continue their graduate studies at home and abroad, and about 5% graduates consider becoming freelancers and starting their own companies-"working for themselves and doing what they like"-and more and more young people like this kind of work. Not finding a job is not that you can't find a work unit, but that some graduates want to master the employment initiative to a greater extent by pursuing further studies or starting their own businesses in order to seek greater development.

Pay more attention to efficiency and development.

The survey shows that the most important factors for graduates to consider when choosing a job are: whether they can give full play to their expertise, economic income, company prospects and working environment; The most important conditions that employers want to provide: development opportunities, opportunities for further study, and salary. "Giving full play to one's talents" has become the primary factor for contemporary college students to consider when choosing a job. This shows that college students' concept of job hunting is more flexible, instead of blindly pursuing money and material benefits, they pay more attention to personal interests, abilities and career development. College students pay most attention to their development prospects when choosing jobs. Jobs with good development prospects are the easiest to win favor. More than half of job-hoppers quit their jobs mainly for their own greater development. According to the survey, whether the major is right or not is no longer the only criterion for graduates to choose jobs. This shows that college graduates have combined the development prospects of enterprises with their own development opportunities in the concept of career choice, paying more attention to the long-term career development and the realization of their own values, and pursuing long-term life development goals.

Diversification of job hunting places.

At present, college graduates show a diversified trend in the choice of employment location. According to the survey, when most graduates choose a job, they first consider the area where their work unit is located. Among them, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are the first choice, followed by special zones and coastal open cities, while the central cities in the border areas and poverty-stricken areas of the motherland are far away. The main reason is that graduates think that big cities, coastal open cities and special economic zones have high economic development level, good regional development prospects and many opportunities for individuals to display their talents; In small and medium-sized cities, there is little demand for talents and strong interpersonal relationships, which makes heroes useless; The social and economic development in "old and poor" areas is relatively backward, with conservative ideas and lack of environment and opportunities to give full play to their talents.

Diversification of unit selection.

Entering an ideal unit and having an ideal job is of great significance to both society and individuals. According to the survey, in recent years, college graduates have made great changes in the choice of units compared with before. A few years ago, more graduates were willing to go to party and government organs, large companies, scientific research units and large enterprises from the perspective of career development, and hoped to "go home" from the perspective of direction, but now the situation has changed a lot. With the deepening of political system reform, the streamlining of institutions, the reduction of demand for college graduates by governments at all levels, and the change of graduates' own value orientation, many graduates have turned their attention from party and government organs and scientific research institutions to foreign-funded enterprises. The reason why college students' preferred companies have changed is that the original security system of state-owned enterprises no longer exists, while some large non-state-owned companies, especially private high-tech enterprises, have flexible modern management models, which can better display their talents and attract graduates.

Employment expectations are still high.

High employment expectation is an important problem that puzzles the employment of college graduates in recent years. This survey once again confirmed the existence of this problem. The problem of high expectations of graduates is still the main problem in the employment of college graduates. Some graduates feel that they can't find an ideal unit, but at the same time, many grass-roots and front-line units are in urgent need of talents but can't recruit graduates, reflecting that the mentality of graduates pursuing high salary, ease and fame is still relatively common. Some graduates who value job stability, ideal environment and high salary have high expectations when choosing a job, and it is unrealistic to choose a company. They give up many choices, just wait and see, and even take the initiative to wait for employment (this mentality is not desirable). Their employment aspirations are too idealistic, and they are unwilling to go to grass-roots units and front lines and "lock" their targets in a few popular units.

Multiple criteria for choosing a job.

College graduates have multiple criteria when choosing jobs. When choosing a job, they not only care about the realization of their career and personal value, but also consider their professional economic status, social status and work comfort, and also consider whether their parents agree or not, showing obvious multiplicity. According to this survey, in the process of choosing a job, 23. 1% mainly considers economic status, 8.3% social status, 4.5% puts professional ease first, 5 1% pursues personal value, 8.6% values personal hobbies, and 4.5% takes family satisfaction as the primary criterion. The results show that college students pay more attention to the realization of personal values and personal interests, which is actually consistent with the evolution of college students' outlook on life and values in recent years. In the early 1990s, the concept of "going to companies, foreign-funded enterprises and the richest places" appeared. At present, most graduates of popular majors tend to be pragmatic when choosing jobs. The order of choice is: high-tech enterprises, private enterprises and state-owned enterprises that implement joint-stock reform. The new mechanism is more attractive than high salary, and "seeking salary" and "seeking novelty" have become the general mentality of the current hot professional graduates in choosing jobs.

"Employment" precedes "choosing a job"

It has become a common mentality for students to find a job first and then choose a job. "It is enough for a unit to work first", which shows that under the guidance of correct public opinion, graduates have begun to find the starting point of choosing a job. The only goal of some graduates when choosing a job is to find a job in a big city. At present, the unit has a high demand for talents, and dare not have too high expectations when choosing a job. Regardless of salary, housing, etc. For the time being, as long as there is a unit to settle down first (the competition is so fierce that you can choose how many opportunities). It is not too late to find a good job after several years of work experience. This is compared with the situation of "no job in the talent market" in previous years. The current graduates' mentality of finding jobs first and then choosing jobs shows that students' employment concept is maturing. The above is the current college students' employment view and its present situation. It is not difficult to find that with the continuous development of social politics and economy, people's ideas are constantly updated. As a group with high IQ, college students are obviously more receptive to new things and new ideas. At the same time, college students are inevitably influenced by bad employment concepts in society because of their young age and lack of social experience. As ideological educators in colleges and universities, it is particularly necessary for us to guide the employment of college students.
