Employment information is very important for every graduate looking for a job. The process of career decision-making is essentially a process of information collection, processing and transformation related to career choice. In the process of choosing a job, the collection and processing of employment information is the foundation, whether it is the determination of career goals, the design of job-seeking scheme or the choice of decision-making scheme. How to collect employment information? This edition sorts out the suggestions of HR of several companies, and the theme is recruitment information collection and screening strategy.
case study
In the dormitory of college graduates, Xiao Zhao kept searching for information of various human resources websites in front of the computer. Zhaopin has a secure future ... He chooses his job according to his major and interests. Although it was late winter and early spring, there were still big drops of sweat rolling down his forehead. Next to Yang Yang already have answers. He has received letters of intent for employment from several units. From state-owned enterprises to private enterprises, Yang Yang hesitated, but there was a brilliant expression on her face.
What makes them in the same major and dormitory face different situations at the important juncture of employment? After the interview, the reporter found that the reason is that they have different information about employment.
Xiao Zhao only focuses on traditional website search and collects employment information, while Yang Yang has more ideas. He said, "I think I can stand out in employment mainly because I have a lot of employment information to choose from." From the employment information provided by the comprehensive school employment guidance center to the recruitment information collected on my favorite corporate website, I am collecting and using employment information as much as possible. I won at the starting line. "
Collect what
The content of employment information is very extensive. As a graduate who chooses a job for the first time, he should mainly know the employment information in the following two aspects:
(1) Employment policy and relevant regulations
First, understand the national employment guidelines, policies and relevant employment laws and regulations. It is the starting point and destination of graduates' employment and cannot be violated. Graduates can only choose a career according to their personal situation within the scope stipulated by the national employment policy and policy. As a graduate, we must have a clear understanding of employment laws and decrees, and learn to use the law to protect ourselves.
Second, the local employment policy. Such as the recruitment policy, personnel agency policy and settlement policy of various counties and districts in Beijing.
(2) Supply and demand information
First, the overall supply and demand of graduates in that year, that is, how many students in this area graduated with themselves at the same time, and the demand of employers, whether the supply exceeds demand or the supply exceeds demand, or the two are basically balanced, which majors are in short supply and which majors are in short supply.
Second, the information of the employer. When choosing a company, there are often some mistakes: I don't know much about the employer, so I am arbitrary and blind when choosing a job. For example, only pick cities, regardless of the nature and business scope of employers; Others just make decisions blindly because the company name is good, and so on. These are all one-sided. So how to avoid some false appearances and make an objective evaluation of the employer, the key lies in mastering the information of the employer.
Where did you get it?
Students must actively grasp enough employment information, and the more information they get, the broader their vision of choosing a job. According to the current talent market and local characteristics, there are several ways for college students to obtain employment information:
(1) School Admissions and Employment Office. The employment information of the School Admissions and Employment Office is accurate, reliable, diverse and specific, which is the most direct, effective and main way for graduates to obtain employment information. The information collected by the school will be transmitted to all departments (departments) in time, or published in the employment information column of the school website.
(2) Obtain information through relevant activities of graduate employment departments at all levels, talent service agencies and their organizations. The departments in charge of graduates' employment at all levels and talent service institutions are the bridge and link between employers and college graduates, and they are professional institutions that provide employment services for graduates. Graduates can obtain demand information through regular or irregular talent exchange fairs, meetings between supply and demand of college graduates and other activities, which is also an important channel for obtaining information.
(3) collected by government departments at all levels and employment guidance institutions. These competent departments are mainly the Ministry of Education, the Provincial Department of Education, the Personnel Department, and the municipal education bureaus and personnel bureaus. The main responsibilities of these departments and employment agencies are to formulate employment policies for graduates in their respective jurisdictions, provide information on college graduates and employers, and provide advice and services for graduates' employment. This information is also true and credible.
(4) Through the Internet, newspapers, radio, television and other media. What needs special attention is that this kind of information has a wide spread, fierce competition, fast prescription and low success rate, and the content is often general. If you choose, you should learn more. Some employers often introduce their current situation, development prospects and talent demand information through newspapers, magazines, radio and television.
(5) Internship, social practice and social activities. Graduates can directly contact employers in internships and social practice, so that they can better understand their needs and employers can better understand themselves. Whether it is the establishment of "Beijing Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Practice Base" or the practice mechanism established in various places, it is an important and reliable way for college students to move towards social practice.
(6) friends and relatives. Obtaining employment information through parents, relatives, friends, teachers, classmates and other channels, and expanding the coverage of information collection in a targeted manner, sometimes have a multiplier effect. This kind of information is more targeted, usually with the orientation of the industry or region that graduates want, and can understand the employer more specifically and facilitate two-way communication, so the employment success rate is higher.
(7) Grasp the address and telephone number of each unit through the yellow pages, and obtain employment information by calling, writing a cover letter or visiting at home. This channel has strong initiative, blindness and low accuracy. However, accidental opportunities also have the possibility of success. In the absence of employment information, this is also a channel to obtain information.
Of course, there are many ways to collect information. Generally speaking, the key is to take the initiative.
Three methods
① Omni-directional collection method. Collect all the employment information related to your major, and then sort it out according to certain standards for use. This method has a wide range of employment information and a large choice, but it is time-consuming and laborious.
② Directional acquisition method. Collect relevant information according to your chosen career direction and the industry scope of job hunting. This method is based on the individual's professional direction, ability tendency and interest specialty, and it is convenient to find occupations and units that are more suitable for their own characteristics and can play a more effective role. It should be noted that when your chosen career direction and job search scope are too narrow, your choice scope may be greatly narrowed, especially when your chosen career scope is a "hot" job with fierce competition, which is likely to bring greater difficulties to your subsequent job search.
③ Fixed area collection method. Collecting information according to one's preference for a certain region or certain regions, while paying less attention to and choosing the career direction and industry scope, is an information collection method that emphasizes the region and ignores the professional direction. Collecting information and choosing a career in this way may also make it difficult to find a job because of narrow areas and "overheated areas" (that is, more job seekers flock to the area).
Job seekers should collect information comprehensively according to their own actual situation.
How to screen
Generally speaking, the original employment information collected by graduates through the above channels is messy, and a considerable part of the information is useless. Graduates should select the best information from the rough according to their actual situation and needs, discard the false and keep the true, and select it purposefully, so as to make the obtained information accurate, comprehensive and effective and better serve the job search. It is an important choice to classify the information collected through various channels by region and nature, and then classify them according to their own criteria for job hunting, and rank the units they are interested in as the first grade.
When dealing with this information, we should grasp the following principles:
(1) Get to the point. Compare all the employment information collected, select key information after preliminary screening, mark it well and pay attention to preservation. General information is for reference only.
(2) it suits you. Everyone's situation is different, and graduates should choose information that suits them.
(3) Pay attention to the timeliness of information. After collecting employment information, it should be used in time to avoid expiration.
(4) When determining the scope of information collection, it should not be confined to "hot" units and nearby areas, which will greatly reduce the employment success rate.
