In fact, college students' concept of choosing a job is an ideological reflection of their status and characteristics in the process of choosing a job. The characteristics of college students' career choice view are the significant differences between college students as the main body of career choice and other career choice groups.

1, time.

The formation and development of college students' concept of career choice is closely related to the changes of the times. Societies in different development periods have different stage goals, and college students in different times have different job hunting goals. It can be said that the change of college students' concept of choosing a job is a barometer of the changes of the times, showing different characteristics in different periods.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, college students began to have the consciousness of choosing their own jobs, but they must obey the national distribution when they graduate. Social status is the most important thing in employment, and the ideal occupation is "scientist" and "engineer". In 1980s, the criteria for college students to choose jobs were: social status, social significance, personal ability and remuneration.

By the end of 1980s, "conforming to personal specialties" became the primary criterion for their job selection. In the early 1990s, college students pursued "stable first job and rich second job".

After the mid-1990s, the once popular mode of "salary determines job selection" is basically out of date, and "whether to give full play to expertise" has become the primary criterion for college students to choose jobs. Many college students think it is necessary to find the best combination between personal value and social value. It can be seen that college students' concept of career choice shows a strong flavor of the times.

2. Subjectivity.

From the horizontal comparison, college students' job-seeking groups have their own distinctive characteristics. Some scholars believe that college students have the characteristics of "five peaks, four peaks, three dares, two deficiencies and one middle school", namely, the peak of body, intelligence, social demand, special behavior and achievement; The most active, energetic, willing to learn, and the least reserved; Dare to say, dare to think and dare to do; Lack of experience in social life and political struggle; It is often centered on advocating self.

These leading characteristics of college students' job-seeking groups constitute the image of college students' job-seeking groups and restrict their job-seeking views. Mainly reflected in the process of career choice, they advocate themselves, take individuals as the center, pay attention to personal struggle, and emphasize the embodiment of self-worth; In professional activities, I just want to be the protagonist, but I don't want to be a supporting role. I always worry that I will be buried, overqualified and so on.

3. differences.

College students' views on job selection show obvious differences due to different geographical distribution, different education levels, different majors, different genders and different needs. In terms of geographical distribution, there are differences between the east and the west, the coastal and inland areas, and the local and foreign areas. From the perspective of disciplines and majors, there are many differences in the study of college students in many fields such as literature, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, economics, management, art and so on.

These differences are mainly reflected in two aspects: one is the choice of entering a higher school and choosing a job, and the other is the starting point of choosing a job. For example, when college students design their own road to success, they are multi-angle and all-round: either taking postgraduate entrance examination to specialize in their studies, or taking TOEFL test to seek development space, or gaining social prestige and social status in politics, or doing business to enrich their economic foundation, or actively responding to the call of the state to dedicate their blood and youth to the country and the people.

Establish the concept of career choice

There are many important choices in life, and choosing work is one of them. Career occupies the longest time in a person's life cycle, and career is of great significance to people. Occupation and career are closely linked. Occupation is the guarantee of survival, and career is the meaning of survival. It's impossible to talk about your own career without it. People's value is embodied through labor, so work and occupation are the basic ways for individuals to realize their self-worth.

Career expectation is accompanied by a lifelong career, and different people will have different choices. Everyone has career ideals, and expectations vary from person to person. There is always a distance between ideal and reality, so it is wise to adjust your career expectations in time. It is best not to do anything in vain to adapt reality to yourself.

Choosing a career is not wishful thinking, and there are many restrictive factors. People don't want to go where you want, and you don't necessarily want to go where you want to go. "Two-way choice" is like a double-edged sword, which gives you the freedom of choice and the other party the right.

Knowing the situation, policies, employers and themselves are the preparations that every graduate should make when choosing a job. Any occupation has advantages and disadvantages, and "hot occupation" may not be suitable for you. In addition to increasing the intensity of competition, blind obedience and conformity may also make you ignore your own abilities, specialties and interests and lose other good opportunities.

What's more, choosing a job independently does not mean choosing a job freely, and the employment policy and household registration system will restrict and standardize your career choice behavior. Optimists often think that other people's "grapes" are not as sweet as their own, and this mentality will make you think that your chosen career is the best when choosing a job.

On the contrary, there is always a kind of regret and pain for job seekers who are "looking at the mountain high". Being employed for the first time does not mean being together for life. Career is full of changes, and there are still many opportunities to change jobs in the future.

Therefore, we must start from small things in order to achieve great things. Don't refuse to do small things. Paying attention to every detail is very important for a person's life. What affects our life and success is often nothing important. It's a great thing that a comet is close to the earth, but it won't affect your career. Wolves, tigers and leopards are all wild animals, but who among us has been bitten; Compared with humans, mosquitoes are definitely a vulnerable group, but who hasn't been bitten by mosquitoes?

In the journey of life, it is often not the mountains and rivers that make us flustered and tired, but a grain of sand in our shoes or a loose shoelace. Starting from the details is the guarantee of success. These details include whether your cultivation is in place and whether you are doing things properly.

At the same time, social demand is the first premise that everyone must consider when choosing a job. There is demand for development. The needs of the country and society provide a broad space for you to display your talents in the future. People should have some spirit. Good sons and daughters aim at all directions, not only creating great achievements in Beijing. Young, hot-blooded, pointing out the country, how to plan for yourself, we must not have the stereotype of eating and drinking in a comfortable area.

There are many roads in the world, and if there are fewer people walking, the roads will be deserted. When your parents were young, they had many heroic choices-"Go to the place where the motherland needs it most". At any time, this choice is worthy of praise and promotion, and this spirit will move and inspire more and more people with lofty ideals.

Marx said that if we choose a career that can best work for mankind, then the burden cannot overwhelm us, because it is a sacrifice to everyone; At that time, we didn't enjoy poverty, limitation and selfishness. Our happiness will belong to millions of people. Our cause will exist silently, but it will always play a role. In the face of our ashes, noble people will cry.

College graduates are the most precious and high-quality part of human resources, which should be rationally allocated. The government, society and schools are all trying to do a good job in this area.

Luck always favors those who are prepared. The road to career is very long, and you have to rely on yourself step by step, and others can't replace it. But when you are confused or at a crossroads, you might as well ask others more. Schools, teachers and your relatives and friends will provide you with corresponding help and bless you.
