On March 20th, the "College Alumni Mutual Assistance Employment Seminar" jointly sponsored by Pulse, a leading workplace social platform in China, the Alumni Economic Service Center, and the Enterprise Talent Branch of the Chinese Resource Development Research Association was successfully held in Pulse.

Professor Lu Shijie, chief economist of the Alumni Economic Service Center and chairman of the Culture and Finance Center of the Central University of Finance and Economics, said: The Alumni Mutual Aid Employment Seminar is of great significance and is a spark of stars, this year's employment situation is grim, it is very happy to see that the Alumni Economic Service Center and the pulse actively contact the employment offices of various colleges and universities, provide help for graduates through social forces and social platforms, and make some practical contributions to the smooth employment of graduates across the country.
In 2020, the superposition of epidemic and economic factors led to a sharp increase in the employment pressure of college graduates, and 2020 became the most difficult graduation season in history. According to statistics, in 2020, the number of college graduates nationwide reached 8.74 million, a record high. At the same time, due to the epidemic, the economic development has slowed down, the employment positions have shrunk, and the offline job fairs cannot be carried out and the interviews have been suspended, resulting in a staggering proportion of graduates who have not yet been employed. This year, the number of graduates will reach a new high of 9.09 million, and the employment situation will become more and more severe.
As a leading workplace social platform in China, Pulse has more than 110 million registered users. Since its inception, Pulse has always been committed to using scientific algorithms to open up the five-same relationship of "colleagues, classmates, hometowns, schools, and friends". Under this concept, Pulse officially launched the "Alumni Circle" function in 2020, strengthening the social relationship attribute of "classmates" in the two major sections of workplace social networking and recruitment, so as to realize resource sharing among alumni and expand career development space. Up to now, the "Alumni Circle" function of Pulse has covered 3535 schools, served more than 10 million users, and has become the most efficient alumni link tool in China, as well as the largest and most active university alumni community in China.
In the second half of 2020, relying on the function of "alumni circle", Pulse jointly launched the "Blue Circle Action" public welfare activity with the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, calling on the whole society to give graduates different levels of help including internal promotion of posts, job introduction, industry selection, career planning, resume optimization and other different levels of help as "brothers and sisters" to promote the employment of graduates. After the launch of the event, it attracted more than 100 million people's attention and more than 100,000 people participated in it.
In 2021, helping professionals build connections and networks based on alumni relationships is still one of the important development directions of Pulse. In order to allow the "alumni circle" to better cover more universities and organizations, and maximize the role of alumni organizations in helping fresh graduates find employment, in early 2021, Pulse and the Alumni Economic Service Center reached a strategic cooperation, aiming to rely on the superior resources of both sides to jointly collaborate to create an alumni resource aggregation platform, jointly help students better adapt to society, and help professionals achieve career dreams.
This time, Pulse once again joined hands with many parties to jointly launch the "321 Alumni Mutual Aid Day" University Alumni Mutual Aid Employment Public Welfare Action, invited many well-known alumni business partners and workplace alumni to publish recruitment information for free on the Pulse platform, and invited the elite alumni of the university to go online to help students and sisters answer workplace questions, and to promote company positions for students and sisters; at the same time, a large number of industry experts were invited to conduct free online lectures and consulting guidance around employment, graduate school, going abroad, examination public examination, pre-job training, etc., to maximize the situation The power of "alumni mutual aid" has introduced the "online school recruitment" of major companies to promote the whole people to help students and students survive the "most difficult employment season in history".
At the seminar, the leaders present and the teachers of each school expressed their high recognition for the "321 Alumni Mutual Aid Day" activity. Gao Chao, a retired teacher of the Peking University Alumni Association, said: To do a good job in the work of mutual assistance and employment of alumni, the alumni association organization must be linked with the employment office of the university, and hopes that the alumni organization will actively assist the school employment office and make some contributions to the employment of students.
