What problems should graduate students pay attention to when looking for a job?

Professional competitiveness

Major is one of the most important factors affecting graduates' employment. According to the employment salary and popular majors in recent years, even graduates of famous universities may not find ideal jobs if their professional competitiveness is not strong, while if they are popular majors, even ordinary universities are "hot potatoes".

For example, graduate students majoring in finance, insurance, consulting, accounting and auditing, legal services, management, environmental science and life science. Have a considerable employment situation.

However, some graduate students majoring in liberal arts, such as Chinese, history and philosophy, are "embarrassed" in employment. Many of them have to choose jobs outside their majors, or continue their studies and teach in colleges and universities after graduation.

Gender difference

Although "equality between men and women" has been written into our constitution, many women still have to face the "gender discrimination" of employers in the specific employment environment.

Some will ask whether women are married and have children. Some recruiters are women themselves, and even more "inexplicably" said, "Because I am a woman, I know that women just can't do it, and I resolutely don't want girls." This behavior is simply self-contradictory.

Faced with this situation, female graduate students can learn about the recruitment requirements of employers online in advance when they are employed. If such sexist information is obvious, they should not expect too much from such companies.

School power

In the job market, the signboard of a prestigious school is a "stepping stone". Because 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, the recruitment information of famous schools is more well-informed, and there are more job fairs with larger scale and greater influence. Therefore, employers often go to prestigious schools to hold exhibitions to 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". At the same time, prestigious schools also pay more attention to students' employment, and often have better employment guidance and psychological counseling than ordinary schools.

professional certificate

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 analysis of relevant data, employers' attention to vocational qualification certificates has been on the rise.

Sometimes a driver's license, computer certificate or foreign language proficiency certificate will give candidates the opportunity to interview, not to mention certificates with high gold content, such as lawyer's certificate, certified public accountant's certificate and land appraiser's certificate, which can give certified graduate students a great advantage in the job market.

Therefore, the situation of paying equal attention to academic qualifications and professional qualification certificates will be further improved, and "holding certificates" will become a trend. Then graduate students can take several certificates according to their major and employment direction, and add more for finding a job in the future.

Household registration policy

In most parts of China, the household registration involves buying a house, buying a car and sending children to school, so the household registration determines whether many people will stay or not. In the past job market, many jobs were limited to "local hukou", so some foreign graduates had to find another way out.

But now, more and more cities are beginning to liberalize their household registration policies. In the face of many graduate students, they can settle down directly with their diplomas and degree certificates, which saves many people from worrying about hukou.
