CCTV investigative documentary Graduation

Last night I wanted to finish revising our plan and read the book I haven’t finished yet. But when faced with such a huge project, I really had no way to start. For a moment, I wanted to give up. Okay, okay, let’s not change it and go do something else.

I was scrolling through Weibo and saw two videos I had collected a few days ago. Graduation, at the moment, seems very close, but also seems very far. Graduation from high school is still in sight, and one year has not yet come. Graduating from college seems very far away, but these four years of college have passed a lot. In the early autumn, when school just started, I saw the big campus recruitment leaflet erected at the campus gate. At that time, I always felt far away. Yesterday, in the advanced mathematics class, the teacher said that he goes to graduate job fairs every year, saying that undergraduates are everywhere now, and that some people's resumes are so thin that it makes people feel pitiful...

Combined again I watched this documentary and got chills...

This CCTV documentary is based on Nanjing University and records the choices made by NTU undergraduates and master's students who are about to graduate. Qin Qi, a senior girl who wants to go to a big city, graduated from NTU majoring in Chinese language and literature. She admitted that the major was good, but it was difficult to find a suitable one. After changing her job search direction, her ability was always questioned as she thought. Even in my opinion, she has a background in NTU, has excellent grades, speaks fluent English, and even went to France as an exchange student for half a year... Just from this, you can see how rich his resume will be. . However, she was also rejected many times...

There is also Cui Longlong, a graduate student majoring in history, who failed to apply for a high school history teacher and took the national examination with an average admission ratio of 1:55. There are also materials science graduate students who have returned to their hometown companies to apply for jobs...

The job seekers are excellent, and the employers are also extremely shrewd and full of tricks. If you don’t have the strength, how can you get into their eyes...

They are graduates from top universities. They are among the best graduates from the same school. Their resumes are beyond our reach, and their academic qualifications are not low. Faced with job hunting, there are also twists and turns... What about us three years later? No, there will be no three years at all. What should we do? I still think that the future is far away, and I don’t have a goal to strive for, or maybe I do, but I don’t want to spend time to achieve it. I want to learn English well, but I always feel that I have no language talent. I have forgotten the words. I am afraid of the cold when I get up early and don’t want to read the text. I have downloaded the oral practice software on my phone for a long time, but I don’t find any time to practice. I want to learn mathematics well. The shadow of so many years has never gone away, and I deny myself when faced with slightly more difficult questions. When I have some time, I want to read literary works, learn to draw, and practice calligraphy, but I can’t do without my phone, scrolling through space, Weibo, and the web...

I really don’t know. Faced with their situation, is there any reason to waste my time like this...

It’s time to wake up...
