Preface
Halfway through 2024, colleges and universities are about to usher in their annual graduation season. According to statistics, the number of college graduates in mainland China will reach a new high in 2024, and as more and more college students pour into the talent market, the issue of finding a job has begun to be hotly discussed. Seeing that more and more people can't find jobs, and the graduates of college students are also caught in confusion and deep panic about the future, they have been reading books for many years, but they don't know what the future holds, and they don't know how to face the upcoming employment challenges.
In the current social context, more and more people are beginning to realize that to measure the quality of a job, we should not only consider the salary and treatment, but also take into account many factors such as personal growth, spiritual needs, working environment, and career stability. Among them, the ideological consciousness of college students is also quietly undergoing some changes, gradually showing the characteristics of "atomization", paying more attention to the matching degree of education and employment, personal spiritual needs, intimate relationship harmony and other issues.
1. The employment situation is severe, and graduates are facing the challenge of difficulty in recruiting and finding employment
With the arrival of 2024, major universities are about to usher in the annual graduation season, and according to relevant statistics, the number of graduates from mainland universities in 2023 has reached more than 10 million, and the number of graduates is estimated to increase this year.
In this context, more and more graduates are beginning to fall into employment anxiety, not knowing how to choose a job and how to face the upcoming employment challenges. For such a phenomenon, all sectors of society have also expressed their views, believing that the current employment situation does have a certain degree of difficulty, do not be overly anxious, calm down, do not follow the crowd, and see the situation clearly.
And netizens have also expressed their opinions on this.
Some netizens said that the university should not expand its enrollment, and it will be easier to find a job if there are fewer college students, and those who have not gone to college are willing to move bricks.
Others say why extend the retirement age, and that they should retire early so that they can free up a lot of jobs.
Some netizens said that this is to blame on e-commerce, so people don't go on the street, so all major supermarkets have closed a lot.
Some netizens said that it is no wonder that so many people are gnawing at the old now, and there is really no way, who has us who have difficulty finding a job.
There are also people, now that technology is developing so fast, there is no one for anything, so why do you want to encourage children.
Anyway, it is indeed a big problem for college graduates to find a job now, and there will be new graduates every year, so that the number of unemployed people will accumulate more and more, which will become a big problem.
Second, to measure the quality of a job, many factors need to be considered
In the current social context, more and more people are beginning to realize that to measure the quality of a job, we should not only consider the salary and treatment, but also take into account many factors such as personal growth, spiritual needs, working environment, and career stability.
Among them, the ideology of college students is also quietly undergoing some changes, gradually showing the characteristics of "atomization", education is to serve the society, but also should see the needs of the society, and find the point of convergence with work. They began to realize that the so-called employment is not only to work in a company, but also to enter a new social role, which requires a certain degree of social adaptability and comprehensive quality.
There are also college students who should also appropriately lower their status, don't look at the masters, feel that they are college students, and inexplicably have high expectations for the salary, which must be in line with reality.
There are also college students nowadays, and they are not willing to endure hardship, and they must find a job on weekends, and they can't work overtime, if the general environment is like this, you can't ask for it, after all, such a job is really difficult to find in Chinese enterprises.
There are also some college students who seem to have graduated from prestigious schools, but how much of their professional knowledge is really talented is also a problem, many students think that they have won as soon as they enter the university, and they are all kinds of crazy games in college, and they barely get a graduation certificate, so such graduates naturally have no competitiveness, and the key is not to put down the shelf of graduating from a prestigious school, and it is difficult to find a job.
3. Employment is not only to enter the company, but also to enter the social role
With the continuous progress of society, what kind of job is a good job has long been not standardized, and more and more people realize that the so-called employment is not only to work in a company, but also to enter a new social role.
In this context, college students need to have a certain sense of social responsibility and social responsibility when choosing a job, and they cannot just start from their own interests and ignore other factors. They also need to understand that the so-called employment is not a one-time thing, but they need to continue to learn and improve themselves to adapt to the rapidly changing employment environment in order to stand out in the fierce competition.
Fourth, graduates need to pay attention to the degree of fit, and realize that professional matching is not the same as employment security
In the current employment situation, more and more graduates have begun to realize that the so-called employment security does not only refer to the professional counterpart, but also needs to have a certain degree of fit in order to be able to make a difference in the future work.
When choosing a job, they begin to pay more attention to their interests and strengths, and consider and weigh them in an all-round way in combination with the future development direction, rather than blindly pursuing the so-called popular majors and ignoring their actual situation.
5. How to deal with the current employment challenges
In the face of such a severe employment situation, more and more people are beginning to speculate about how to deal with the current employment challenges in order to stand out in the fierce competition.
The society should give a certain degree of understanding and support, and encourage college students to start from reality when choosing a major, and take into account their own abilities and social work gaps, rather than blindly pursuing the so-called popular majors, so that they can make a difference in their future work.
In the process of cultivating students, schools also need to pay attention to the cultivation of comprehensive ability, not just the teaching of professional knowledge, so as to cultivate outstanding talents that are more in line with the needs of society.
The authorities can also use some policy guidance to promote the connection between college graduates and market demand, reduce structural employment contradictions, and provide more employment opportunities for graduates.
For graduates, they also need to maintain a positive mindset and keep learning and improving themselves so that they can stand out from the fierce competition and find their dream job.
In fact, there are still many jobs in the mainland that are difficult to recruit, such as high-paid technicians, but many people are greedy for enjoyment and always want to apply for popular jobs that can easily earn a lot of money, but how can there be so many jobs. Yes, you may not be able to get it
However, there is also a shortage of schools that can train high-tech students, and although the state recently called on students to look at these majors when they apply for the examination, the current universities are really not perfect in this regard.
It is foreseeable that with the arrival of the summer vacation in 2024, major colleges and universities will also usher in waves of graduation, and the seemingly unattainable "end" of employment is actually just a new starting point in life, which requires us to have a normal heart, bravely face the challenges and difficulties, and believe that as long as we are down-to-earth and persevering, we will be able to find our own "hot land" and bloom our own light.
