In 2006, the expected demand for college graduates in the statistical field was 1665044, which was significantly lower than that of 2 14 1233 in 2005, with a decrease of 22.0%. According to the statistics of relevant departments, in 2006, the number of college graduates nationwide reached 410.3 million, an increase of 22% over the previous year, and the overall employment situation is not optimistic.
From the perspective of academic qualifications, the demand for graduate students in 2006 increased rapidly compared with the number of graduate students absorbed in 2005, with an increase of 30%, and the demand for undergraduate students was basically the same as that absorbed in 2005. It is expected that the employment trend of graduate students and undergraduates will remain stable. Compared with the enrollment of junior college students in 2005, the demand for junior college students has dropped by 39%, and the employment trend of junior college students is expected to show a downward trend.
The enrollment expansion of colleges and universities every year provides a relatively stable employment growth rate and also brings a number of unemployed people. Due to public opinion, everyone will unconsciously discuss the topic of difficult employment and easy employment. According to the data.
Since 1998, the number of highly educated talents has increased by more than 30% every year. This brings an invisible pressure to people more or less. As a sophomore, I may never have thought about this kind of problem, because we still have time, and now we just need to master the theoretical knowledge with peace of mind, but I think it's only one year. Plus, as a junior college student, I should learn to think. Although I have little interest, I pay attention to some information and materials every day.
In 2004, the number of graduates nationwide reached 2.84 million, excluding 500,000 people left over from the SARS period, including junior college students 1.54 million, accounting for 54% of the total. Faced with this huge data, we should make a good analysis of the current employment environment. With the increasing employment pressure, many students are developing in the direction of undergraduate and graduate students, while the number of junior college students is decreasing, which correspondingly provides us with convenience and reduces the competitive pressure. Because as far as China's current economic development structure is concerned, most enterprises need college students.
Employment of college students:
What is employment? Under the condition of market economy, employment is the first choice of society and enterprises. What college students should think about is how to adapt to the needs of enterprises. Only under this premise can we realize the value we are pursuing: making money, gaining social recognition, realizing life ideals and so on. How can we meet the needs of enterprises? Many comments attribute part of the reasons why college students can't find jobs to schools, and think that China is in the era of rapid marketization, but education is still in the era of planned economy. The investment, teaching content, methods and training objectives of many majors in universities are not very clear. Maybe some schools are like this, or some private schools are like this, but personally, our school is much better.
In 2003, the main jobs of higher vocational graduates are: CNC machine tool operation, automobile maintenance, production line equipment maintenance, microelectronic technology assembly, overhaul, governance, debugging, installation, maintenance, operation, production line operation, functional testing technology, quality inspection, production application, accounting, hotel management, agricultural resources management, agricultural products processing, landscaping, civil construction, product marketing and business planning, customs clearance management, and various integration. Most of these majors are offered by our school.
In addition, I think that as a college, we should aim at cultivating high-tech applied talents in the front line of production and construction, take industrial enterprises as the guidance, and conduct an interactive cooperation between industry and learning, so that most of the contents of the school can be completed by school-enterprise cooperation, and realize the effective sharing of school-enterprise resources. Every semester, the school will arrange a period of time for students from various majors to practice in relevant places, actively explore ways of combining production with learning, expand the degree of technical skills training, and improve our adaptability to the requirements of professional post ability. Last time, we went to Wuhan International Convention and Exhibition Center to watch the 2004 China-China Tourism Expo. When we bought tickets, we met a student of the same level and major in Wuhan Institute of Technology. During the conversation, I learned that their courses were similar to ours, except that they didn't practice, because one of their classmates had an accident when they went out for an internship before, and later the school didn't allow students to go out for an internship. Knowing this situation, I am really proud of the wise decision of our school. For them, although we are junior college students, in the future graduation interview, we have another advantage, that is practical knowledge. In this talented society, many enterprises are unwilling to spend a lot of financial resources and energy to train employees. For enterprises, they are more inclined to recruit some experienced workers with low academic qualifications, especially those engaged in the tertiary industry. Moreover, as far as reality is concerned, the current employment difficulties of college students have brought about a kind of "waste of educational resources", which is twofold: on the one hand, the ratio of tuition fees paid by students to the money spent by the state to train them is 1:4, that is to say, if college students spend 20,000 yuan on tuition fees, then the government will spend 80,000 yuan on them. If college students can't find jobs, it will actually waste the country's educational resources greatly. The unstable employment of college students will also have an impact on people's further participation in education.
On the other hand, when it is difficult for college students to find jobs after graduation, it becomes the reason for everyone to take the college entrance examination. It is difficult for undergraduates to find jobs, so everyone is busy taking master's and doctor's exams. However, the basic education of a country is more important, and the fundamental factor that determines the quality of the people lies in the high school education. However, our country does not need too many graduate students. This unreasonable educational structure is also a waste of educational resources. To this end, in order to reduce this waste, the government will strive to adjust its industrial structure and provide some.
In the above aspects, the problem of difficulty is not as terrible as people say. Although I am a junior college student, I firmly believe that we can find an ideal job.
But at the same time, we should pay attention to the disadvantages of our junior college students. The survey reflects that there are still many deviations in the society's understanding of higher vocational colleges. They think that some schools follow the school-running ideas of ordinary colleges and universities, have no market demand, have no own teaching characteristics, have some gaps in school-running conditions, are not strict in management system and have inappropriate teaching methods. Enterprises need all-round and promising talents, while higher vocational colleges train specific professionals. In many areas, employers declared that "higher vocational graduates are not allowed to talk", just like a classmate who studied in Hebei told me, "If you are a foreign student, you can't work in Beijing without a bachelor's degree." This is why many college students do whatever it takes to improve their undergraduate education. Public opinion is like this, and so are people's ideas. Without a bachelor's degree, you can't find a good job, but due to economic, family and social factors, there will still be a large number of higher vocational students.
As a junior college student, we must first understand the market environment. "What is a gift?" What society needs is talents! With the improvement of the marketization of human resources, it is becoming a trend to establish a new view of talents. Scientists, engineers and technicians are talents, so are "expert" professional workers such as senior technicians and technicians. Of course, talents who are temporarily recognized by the market do not mean that they can be once and for all. I have memorized a lot of knowledge and mastered a lot of data-these are the standards for examining talents. Nowadays, qualitative change is taking place. You can master a skill that the market needs, not only because you have a teacher to teach, but also because you have this skill, because you are a master, doctor and professor. It's that you really mastered the tricks of this industry in middle school. But skills alone are not enough. Society, technology and main business are all making progress. It is more important that a person does not have learning ability, lifelong learning ability and knowledge innovation ability.
As far as China's current economic development is concerned, many enterprises need technical, technological and skilled talents, and the main employment direction of higher vocational college graduates is in the front line of infrastructure, management and service. After mastering this direction, we should pay close attention to our professional courses. At the same time, we should see that enterprises now prefer graduates with solid professional knowledge, comprehensive quality, good cooperation with others and enterprising and innovative consciousness. In the past, enterprises often simply pursued high academic qualifications and good majors, which was caused by oversupply in the job market for college students. In recent years, with more and more college graduates entering the job market, the seller's market has gradually changed into a buyer's market, and the eyes of enterprises in selecting talents have improved. Simple academic qualifications are not enough to attract the attention of enterprises. Enterprises begin to examine talents from all aspects, which requires us to have comprehensive quality. They pay attention to the candidate's personality and hope that their employees will be practical and willing to work in the future. Employees will have better self-care ability, strong adaptability to the surrounding environment, be able to complete the work independently, and have certain communication skills and emotional intelligence, so as to cooperate with the team to complete all the work.
Faced with this situation, find out your weaknesses and correct them. In college, it is actually an opportunity to exercise. "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual." Entering the university means getting rid of the closed teaching management of high school and learning independently. The teacher is only responsible for teaching professional courses well, and everything else depends on his own efforts. People often say that "university is a bridge between students and society". Indeed, in universities, students can tap their potential, develop and improve themselves and cultivate high-quality talents through various activities. In college, some students think that everything will be fine when they enter college, so let them enjoy it first, but they don't know that this is a very negative attitude, showing no sense of competition and hard-working spirit. All kinds of clubs and activities are reluctant to participate, and they think it is not very interesting. In fact, they are unwilling to develop themselves and improve their ability to deal with practical problems. It is difficult to adapt to the society and meet the requirements of enterprises only by professional job hunting. If a person makes full use of his spare time to study in university, he can learn a lot. Take myself for example, although I learned while playing, I also learned a lot, such as learning some entertainment activities; Know well-known brands of some commercial enterprises; Joining the club has exercised my expression ability; Part-time job let me know the hardships and practical attitude of doing anything.
Never too old to learn. Since the school provides us with a good place to study, we should seize this opportunity. Four years in college is neither too long nor too short. But as a person with goals, you should make a good plan to achieve the highest effect. The first year is the exploration period, the second year is the orientation period, the third year is the sprint period and the fourth year is the differentiation period. Compared with our junior college students, freshmen are in the stage of understanding and adapting, sophomores are in the stage of being busy, and juniors are in the stage of preparing for society. As a freshman, I am not familiar with everything, so I need to be familiar with everything, adjust my high school-style learning methods and really adapt to college life. Sophomore students should begin to prepare for future employment and ease the employment pressure of junior students. Students who want to be promoted to the undergraduate course are busy promoting to the undergraduate course every day, while students who don't want to be promoted are busy taking various certificates. Now our professional students are making a fuss about various certificates, such as secretarial certificate, accounting certificate, computer certificate and so on. , consultation registration. It seems that everyone is already nervous. Nowadays, it is popular in society to get more certificates, which can not only exercise themselves, but also provide a stepping stone for future job hunting and reduce the chances of unemployment. With a series of preparations for sophomore year, junior year should learn to change from "school person" and "unit person" to "social person" and "professional person", and combine personal career needs with personal career ideals and professionalism well. Plan your college career, including the following points:
1. determine the career direction-that is, what career to choose;
2. Analyze the social environment-social politics, the direction of economic development, and the position of the chosen occupation in the social environment.
Social development trends and impacts;
3. Analyze the enterprise-on the one hand, analyze the development prospect and employment system of the enterprise, on the other hand, analyze the benefits that the enterprise will bring to itself.
What social status it has brought;
4. Goals and time to achieve-the longest foreseeable goals, such as work goals, ability goals and achievement goals,
Economic goals, etc. ;
5. Determine the criteria for success-answer questions about career-related values. For example, if the expected position is not promoted, does the result represent all success?
6. Self-condition and potential assessment-combine your own conditions, development potential and development direction with the environmental situation and constraints given by the environment. Their own conditions include the following factors: interest, hobby, talent, expertise, knowledge level, operational ability, physical condition, values, emotional intelligence and so on.
7. Find the gap-analyze the gap between the current conditions and the knowledge and ability requirements needed to achieve the goal;
8. Methods and implementation of narrowing the gap-participation in training, discussion and exchange, practical exercise, etc.
Put your mind right.
With the acceleration of economic and industrial restructuring, the employment of college graduates presents a diversified trend. For college graduates, it should be to go to the grassroots, to the front line and to the west. The survey results show that in 2003, there were both state-owned enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, as well as private and individual enterprises, and the latter was increasing. The main employment direction of graduates is in the front line of infrastructure, management and service, and the jobs are mainly in technology, technology and skill management.
Many college graduates think that going out to do grass-roots work has a feeling of being overqualified and unbalanced, which is a manifestation of wasting talents. It may be a painful process to change the role from "favored by heaven" to "ordinary workers with knowledge", but we must face up to and face this reality. More seriously, there are more and more people with diplomas who can't find jobs, even affecting graduate students and doctoral students. According to China's economic development structure and population factors, we can know that this is a reality. Besides, doing things at the grassroots level is not necessarily a bad thing. Some things can be learned at the grassroots level, but not at the top. Of course, this does not mean that we should have an inferiority complex. We should not be deceived because our major is depressed or our professional knowledge and skills are not as good as those of other students. We consider ourselves inferior and have no psychological challenges. We "put all your eggs in one basket" and sign a contract with a company, which is more terrible than not finding a job. In fact, in today's market, in order to reduce the unemployment rate, the government is trying to provide some new jobs every year, such as supporting the development of the western region with generous treatment. Going to the west can not only solve the problem of temporary employment, but also reflect our college students' outlook on life and values and exercise their personal viability.
Self-confidence is a necessary mentality for graduates. As the saying goes, there is always a job that meets your own conditions, and the statistics of employment demand in both the talent market and enterprises are limited. In addition to the employment information we have seen, there will definitely be vacancies, and those positions may be just right. So finding a job is basically "finding". At the same time, we should also be careful not to be conceited. Avoid professional mismatch, high salary, accurate self-positioning, moderately adjust employment expectations, take the principle of giving full play to your professional expertise and making contributions in the workplace, jump out of the small circle of big cities, large institutions and high incomes, and do not covet external things such as comfort, comfort and reputation. When we first step into society, we should not set our starting point too high. We might as well be mentally prepared, not seeking one step at a time. Starting from a small company or grass-roots level is conducive to accumulating rich practical experience, strengthening the body, improving one's own quality, choosing a job first, aiming high, constantly exercising oneself in practical work, making realistic choices and adjustments to career goals, which is more in line with the law of personal development.
In fact, in Shenzhen, the identity boundary between "cadres" and "workers" has been broken. In enterprises, all workers are called employees. In countries with developed manufacturing industries, all masters and doctors on production lines are also collectively referred to as "workers". Scientific knowledge is productivity, so are technology and skills. Any science and knowledge can only be achieved through skills. Any science and knowledge can only be transformed into realistic productivity through professional labor that is at the front line of production and directly provides goods and services to the society. As long as people finally need all kinds of goods and services, people will always need professional skills from all walks of life.
After you set your mind, you should have an understanding of yourself, and then choose the work field you are interested in. for oneself
The degree of understanding includes personal interests, hobbies, personality, temperament, ability, quality and personal occupation. Personal abilities include the ability to solve practical problems, competition awareness, challenge awareness, innovation awareness, courage, social adaptability, expression ability, interpersonal skills, cooperation awareness, dedication, professional skills or specialties, computer and foreign language proficiency. Based on the above comprehensive analysis of yourself, find the starting point and choose the job you are interested in. Interest is the motivation to arouse people. Only if you are interested in him can you do well, give play to your strengths and tap your potential. Don't be influenced by parents' expectations, living environment and public opinion. Because it is we who have to work, not others, that is, we know ourselves best. Choosing a position you don't love will only bring you pressure and trouble, and it is difficult to ensure the stability and long-term work. According to the previous employment survey, about 60% of college students in the country are in line with their personal interests in career choice, that is, most people work with the mentality of "loving one line and doing one line".
After knowing your own situation, master some necessary skills for job hunting. For example, do a good job in graduation thesis; Write a good resume, which is the first sign to attract enterprises; Pay attention to arrive early in the interview, bring necessary supplies, appropriate personal dress and decoration, and question and answer skills. Keep a good attitude, be full of self-confidence, fully show yourself, ask if you don't understand, and give the employer an open-minded, studious and practical impression. Moreover, failure in the interview doesn't mean anything. On the contrary, it will bring us some experience and let us pay attention to what to do next time. Multiple interviews or multi-faceted interviews will give us more chances of self-confidence and success in the interview.
I think, as long as we do all the work mentioned above well, with a good attitude and self-evaluation, we will definitely find a job we like.
