1, professional strength
Major is the most obvious factor affecting graduates' employment. The grim reality tells us that even graduates of famous universities may not find ideal jobs if their major competitiveness is not strong, and even ordinary universities will be "hot potato" if their major is hot.
"Whoever is an IT talent will have money." This sentence shows the vigorous development of the IT industry, and also shows that the "talent famine" makes IT talents extremely favored. There has been a shortage of IT and communication talents for several years. This year, the supply-demand ratio of communication and information systems in Tongji University has reached 1: 250, and graduate students majoring in IT and communication are even more scarce.
At the same time, due to the successful Olympic bid and China's imminent accession to the WTO, some related majors, such as finance, insurance, consulting, accounting and auditing, and legal services, will become popular rapidly, and graduates of environmental science, civil construction, management, foreign languages and life sciences will also show their talents.
The school has obviously realized this problem. In 200 1 year, many new enrollment majors were introduced in major universities. Shanghai Jiaotong University has added majors such as microbiology and biochemical pharmacy, biochemistry and molecular biology, and environmental engineering, while Fudan University has added more than 20 majors such as procedural law, criminal law, economic history, and radio and television art.
In contrast, some graduate students majoring in liberal arts, such as Chinese, history and philosophy, are "embarrassed" in employment, and many of them have to choose jobs outside their majors.
2. The era of textual research
In the current job market, it is not enough to have a degree, but also to have other hardware, and the certificate is the most powerful hardware. According to the relevant data, the employer's emphasis on vocational qualification certificate has been on the rise in 14 months. For a period of time this year, the situation of paying equal attention to academic qualifications and professional qualification certificates will be further consolidated, and "holding certificates" will become a trend.
Based on this situation, many students, especially graduate students with strong self-study ability, have embarked on the road of textual research. Lawyer's certificate, certified public accountant's certificate, land appraiser's certificate, computer certificate, foreign language proficiency certificate, even tour guide's certificate and driver's license have become popular exams. Some graduate students even have several certificates, making it easy to find a job.
3. School strength
In the job market, the school logo is very important. On the one hand, many employers have some "famous school complex", and under the same circumstances or even some differences, they will give priority to graduates from famous schools, even if students from ordinary colleges are better. On the other hand, prestigious schools are better informed and job fairs are becoming more and more large-scale. This is because the first thing employers think of is to go to famous schools to hold exhibitions and recruit people, while ordinary colleges and universities often become "corners forgotten by opportunities." As a result, in the recruitment season, famous schools are often crowded with "foreigners".
