Teacher Li gave me a 10 question in their mock interview. I looked at it, and some of them were really difficult to answer, such as "What is your greatest weakness" and "Have you ever done anything that doesn't conform to the rules". Regarding the previous question, Miss Li's suggestion is, "First, answer the question sincerely. Secondly, the weakness mentioned should not conflict with the position you are applying for. The point is to emphasize that you are a person who pursues progress. How are you going to improve this weakness "; For the latter question, "there are very few people who have never done anything that is not in line with the rules." If you answer' no', the other person will probably think you are dishonest. The best way is to admit that you made a mistake, but there are reasons and the consequences are not serious. " I asked Miss Li to give an example. She thought for a moment and said, "For example, I skipped class once because I had to finish an important homework."
It is reported that not only the employment centers of universities are helping students find jobs, but also all departments have their own employment guidance centers. Alumni provide employment information in this industry, and teachers write letters of recommendation for students, which helps to improve the "hit rate" of employment.
Of course, there are also campus job fairs in the United States, but the scale is relatively small, and they are mainly held by various departments. Only a few companies come at a time to facilitate the supply and demand sides to get to know each other in detail. More people look for opportunities through the special website established by the school. Employers and graduates can post their own information on it, and both parties can contact themselves.
It is worth mentioning that the US Department of Labor publishes a thick Job Demand Manual every year, collecting job demand data of the US job market in different periods and the requirements of different occupations for knowledge and skills, and focusing on predicting the impact of economic development on future job demand. Related content is also published on the Internet, and you can query the annual salary, demand, promotion speed and other information of a profession.
To solve the employment problem of college students, the help of the government and schools is important, but the accumulation of students' own work experience is also essential. In the United States, it is a common phenomenon for college students to work. Xiao Zhao, an international student from China who works part-time in the employment center, told me that one of her American classmates will take three jobs this summer-hourly worker, restaurant waiter and cleaner, so as to earn the tuition for next semester.
Xiao Zhao, Ph.D. in Psychology, is currently tutoring American middle school students in employment. Because only about 30% of high school graduates in the United States can go to college, most people face employment problems after graduating from high school. To this end, American high schools have set up career courses (0.5 credits). In addition to teaching career theory, teachers also let students spend a day in their interested positions to see how adults work, and then go back to class to share with you. Even my daughter, a junior high school student in the United States, was taught by her teacher to take a career interest test and design her future career online.
To paraphrase China's saying, "Children from poor families become masters early", I think it is "children in the United States become independent early". Ms. Shi Xiaomei, President of Colombian Friends of China Association, married an American and had a son and a daughter. She said that our children began to deliver newspapers, work as part-time nannies or mow other people's homes when they were in middle school, and they kept the money they earned. When I was in college, my family only provided tuition for the first semester and my own living expenses.
At Wal-Mart, students are basically the ones who sort out and recycle shopping carts. A black girl in grade 0/0 of middle school/KLOC generously asked me to take a "work photo" of her. She told me that she works five times a week, *** 15 hours, and the hourly salary is $7. She is going to save money for going to college in the future.
In the United States, anyone (including foreigners) can enjoy free education from grade one of primary school to grade two of senior high school/kloc-0. But going to college costs money, and it is very expensive. Some students who can't afford tuition for a while will work to earn money before going to college.
Students not only solved their own tuition fees, but also gained work experience and weighed their own abilities, which laid a good foundation for their formal jobs in the future.
I hope I can solve your problem.
