Just after March 8th, a series of special job fairs for women have enabled many female college students to find jobs. However, in the current severe employment situation, it is still difficult for female college students to find jobs when it has become a "hidden rule" for some recruitment units not to have girls.
How to improve the success rate of job hunting? Recently, I interviewed some girls who have a good job search and successfully signed a contract, and taught you how to find a job with their personal experience.
Experience 1: The interview shows more advantages of girls.
Wang studied communication engineering in Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications. He has been looking for a job for a month and received two admission notices. Considering that her boyfriend works in Nanjing, she gave up the opportunity to go to Guangzhou Mobile Company and chose Zhongchuang Software Company Nanjing Branch. She told me that although some employers don't want girls, some software companies are "exceptions", such as the furniture company she signed, which has no gender requirements and only pays attention to skills. State-owned enterprises and some operators attach great importance to grades, which is good for girls, because girls study hard, get good grades and have a high chance of success.
In addition to practicing professional skills and improving their "hard power", girls should also improve their "soft power". Wang said that the most important thing is to improve communication skills. "Compared with boys, girls are articulate, friendly, thoughtful and handle things properly, so they will try their best to show these advantages to their employers during the interview. 」
Lesson 2: Work is not for you.
Improving the initiative of job hunting is also an experience that Wang Shen has experienced. "Three girls in our class are very active in finding jobs. When they heard that there was a job fair, they made an appointment to attend it together. Rainy days are no exception. Sometimes we know that there is little hope, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will try our best to fight for it. What's the use of just sitting in the dormitory? Work won't find you. 」
Fan Beibei, a graduate student of philosophy department of Nanjing University who has the same feelings as Wang, just had the intention to be a consultant in a software company in Shanghai a few days ago. "I finally found a job, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground. She said that since June 5438+ 10 last year, it has become a habit to submit three resumes every day. Whether it is colleges or other enterprises or institutions, try to cast a net and sign whatever you collect first. Looking back on his job hunting experience, Fan Beibei said that more failures can accumulate more successful experiences.
Lesson 3: Sitting posture can also determine success or failure.
Details determine success or failure. Fan Beibei told me that he had suffered because he didn't pay attention to details. Once, she took the initiative to call the interviewer and won the interview. Full of joy, she wore casual clothes and boots to the interview, while her classmates wore professional clothes and a little light makeup. When the interviewer asked them to sit down and wait for a while, she sat in the chair very relaxed and didn't notice the posture. While her classmates have been standing, waiting for the interviewer to sit down before taking a seat. As a result, her classmate was hired, but did not enter the next round of interview.
"When a girl interviews, the first impression given to the interviewer is very important. Fan Beibei said that wearing a formal suit can make the interviewer feel that job seekers attach great importance to this interview; Putting on some makeup will make girls look refreshed and won't leave the interviewer with the feeling of just waking up. However, Fan Beibei reminded not to wear heavy makeup. " The employer chooses the right person, not a beauty contest. If you wear heavy makeup, it will be self-defeating. 」
Expert advice: overcome dependence, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.
It is reported that there are 459,000 college graduates in our province this year, of which girls account for 48.88% of the total number of graduates, but the social demand for jobs provided by girls is obviously lower than that of boys. Relevant personnel of the Provincial Department of Education made a random sampling survey. Of the 200 jobs offered by 100 employers, 53% are for boys, 36% for girls, and only about 10% have no explicit requirements on gender.
Insiders pointed out that in order to improve the success rate of job hunting, female college students must learn to use their own advantages. Compared with boys, female college students have many advantages, such as good language ability, gentleness, strong perception and delicate mind. If they can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and at the same time adjust their employment mentality, they will certainly find a job that suits them. In particular, employment in the tertiary industry, which focuses on services and information, can give full play to women's gender advantage.
At the same time, some surveys show that a considerable number of girls are dependent, pinning their employment hopes on their parents, teachers and schools, rather than actively fighting for them. To this end, the relevant person pointed out that female college students must pay attention to the cultivation of independence, overcome dependence, exercise and enhance job-hunting skills, so as to improve the success rate of job hunting.
