2. Five questions that fresh graduates must consider before applying for a job.

Entering the new semester, graduates began a long journey of job hunting. But before you act, you should carefully consider the following questions, remember? Think twice before you act? .

Postgraduate entrance examination or work?

Choose to go to graduate school or choose a job, which is the first decision you face. Postgraduate entrance examination or work? In addition to considering from the perspective of personal interests, we should also consider some objective factors, such as: can I pass the exam with my ability? Is it difficult to find a job in my major? Do my parents want me to take the postgraduate entrance examination? Wait a minute.

When applying for a job, the recruiting unit will generally ask you such a question: Did you take the postgraduate entrance examination? Because this problem is very important to the recruiting unit. Every company has its own recruitment target. If you take the postgraduate entrance examination, it will bring risks to the recruiting unit. Because once you are admitted to graduate school, the employer will generally not force you to give up graduate school. Therefore, the recruiting unit is more willing to spend energy to choose among those students who explicitly do not take the postgraduate entrance examination.

If you take the postgraduate entrance examination, you must truthfully explain this situation to the recruiting unit, although you may lose some opportunities. However, some units are more relaxed in postgraduate entrance examination, promising that if you are admitted to graduate school, the employment agreement signed by graduates will automatically become invalid. You should look for more such units.

Big business or small company?

Going to a big company or a small company is a headache. If you go to a big enterprise, your salary and benefits may be better guaranteed, but there are fewer opportunities for personal development. Although these big companies claim how many opportunities they have, after all, there are so many talents there that if you are not particularly outstanding, you will easily be buried. Small companies can give you a relatively relaxed development space, especially some are called? Little intellectual giant? Although the scale of high-tech enterprises will not be large, their knowledge-intensive degree and ultra-high-speed development are incomparable to other enterprises.

Choice? Chicken head? Or? Phoenix tail? It must be considered clearly that it is more suitable for students who like stability to choose large enterprises, and it may be more suitable for students who like adventure to go to small companies. Of course, before going to a small company, it's not too late to get to know it deeply and decide that it has a bright future.

Local or out of town?

The graduation destination of fresh graduates is generally divided into three places: 1, Beijing, Shanghai and the coast; 2. The student's location; 3. The location of the graduation school. Where to work after graduation depends on many factors, such as whether your major has a future in the local area, parents' views and so on. Only when you have determined where you want to go can you selectively contact and negotiate with the recruiting unit.

Major or interest?

If you study a popular major, such as computer, communication, law, etc. You can find a job that suits your major. If you study a less popular major or a long-term major, then when choosing a job, you should consider whether to stick to your major or apply for a job according to your interest. Sometimes you may not know the employment situation of your major in that year. You can check with the employment department of the school in previous years. If your major didn't get a good job in the past few years, you should consider applying for a job according to your own interests. Of course, if you are very keen on your major and your grades in school are excellent, you can stick to your major.

What other specialties are there?

When preparing your application materials, you should not only express your professional ability, but also let the recruiting unit know your advantages in other aspects, such as: how good your computer skills are, whether you have won a place in some large-scale competitions, what social practices you have carried out, and so on. Your specialty is not available to others, and the employer is likely to pay special attention to you because of your specialty. So, before you apply for a job, you should seriously think about it: What are my strengths?
