Focus on employment of college students, the proportion of graduates entering private enterprises has increased

Focus on the increase in the proportion of college graduates entering private enterprises in 2007

It is understood that last year, more than 1.2 million college graduates across the country have not yet found a job after graduating from school. In addition, this year’s 495 million college graduates, and the total number of college graduates seeking jobs this year will exceed 6 million. So, what are the highlights and difficulties for college graduates to find employment this year? What strategies should they take to find a job that satisfies them?

One of the highlights: Foreign company internship positions are the hottest

When the first wave of recruitment boom occurred in Changsha’s talent market after the holiday, Hunan Baihua Women’s Talent Market received 200-300 people every day There are a number of job-seeking calls, more than 70% of which are from recent college graduates, and girls account for the majority of them. Job-seeking phone statistics show that corporate intern positions are highly sought after.

According to Ding Hai, head of Hunan Baihua Female Talent Market, since fresh college graduates generally lack work experience, many job seekers are willing to lower their worth to find a job. For example, when a female graduate of China University of Political Science and Law asked her if she wanted to take an administrative job with a monthly salary of 800 yuan, she firmly stated that she could start the job right away. Among the job-seeking positions, most people are applying for clerkships, administration, and secretarial positions; while "business" and "marketing" positions with a relatively large number of recruits have few people interested in them because of the challenging work.

In the job search calls, many people expressed their intention to apply for intern positions in foreign-funded enterprises. The average monthly salary for intern positions in foreign companies is only 1,000 yuan, and in some companies it is only 420 yuan (lower than the minimum guaranteed wage in Changsha City). Experts believe that the main reason why college students are interested in intern positions in foreign companies is because they want to establish a channel to enter foreign-funded companies.

Highlight 2: The proportion of entering private enterprises has increased

Researcher Cao Shu, director of the Career Guidance Division of the National Higher Education Student Information Consulting and Employment Guidance Center of the Ministry of Education, said that in recent years, the employment channels for college students have The survey shows that the proportion of fresh graduates entering the civil service is getting smaller and smaller, but the proportion of graduates entering private and foreign-funded enterprises is increasing, accounting for 23.14% in 2004 and reaching 26.45% in 2005. The proportion of college students working in private enterprises will increase significantly in 2007. Graduates’ salary expectations are also gradually approaching their actual values.

One of the difficulties: the number of voluntarily unemployed people is increasing

Relevant surveys show that in the job market, some employers have high requirements for college graduates, and graduates are choosing a career. They also have high expectations for corporate prospects, professional counterparts, remuneration, etc., forming a "double high" trend in the job market. As a result, some college students have become "voluntarily unemployed", and one of their main ways to escape employment is to continue studying.

In addition, employed students’ choices of employment areas are too concentrated, which is also a reason for the severe employment situation. As many as 62.2% of the respondents said that even if they could not find a job in the central city when they graduated, they would not be willing to work at the grassroots level, remote areas and small and medium-sized cities.

To this end, Tian Chengping, Minister of Labor and Social Security, said at a press conference held by the National People’s Congress recently that to solve the current employment problem of college students, efforts must be made from three aspects. First of all, the labor and social security departments should provide various services for the employment of college graduates, so that employers and college students can establish a more convenient and mutual communication bridge; secondly, the education department should strengthen the recruitment and education throughout the process. Guidance enables college graduates to adapt to the demand for talents due to social and economic development; third, college students themselves must also change their employment concepts, continuously improve their employability, and go to the grassroots and central and western regions where talents are needed.

Difficulty No. 2: It is difficult for journalism graduates to find employment

Reporters interviewed Hunan University, Hunan Normal University and other universities and found that students who graduated from journalism majors are in an embarrassing situation when applying for jobs: simply Graduates who majored in journalism are no longer favored by employers, and have been replaced by comprehensive talents with a broad range of knowledge. Experts believe that this is related to the fact that news involves many industries and requires practitioners to master a wide range of knowledge.

Faced with competition from non-journalism major job seekers, how to improve their multi-faceted qualities is becoming a top priority for journalism major job seekers.

Xiao Wu, who will graduate with a bachelor's degree in July this year, recently told reporters distressedly that he majored in journalism. When he was looking for a job, after interning in several news units, the answer he got was that they wanted to recruit people such as Graduates of economics, law and other majors.

Xiao Wu’s job search experience reflects the current situation of recruiting and using talents in news media. Many news units said that the general editorial staff has been saturated. Even if there are some quotas, they are limited to recruiting comprehensive talents, especially Talents who understand both journalism and media management.

According to statistics from Yingcai.com, the positions with the greatest demand for talents in the media industry are in the "marketing, advertising, and public relations" categories, while the "copywriters, editors, reporters" and "film and television, production" categories are in demand Small quantity.

One of the countermeasures: Focus on development space rather than salary

Regarding the employment problem of college students, relevant experts remind that when college students examine their first career, they should focus on whether it is conducive to the development of their talents. Whether there is room for growth and development in the industry you are engaged in, rather than focusing on salary levels.

When choosing a career, fresh graduates can avoid cities with fierce competition for talents, high living costs, and high work pressure and choose areas that are experiencing rapid development. This can also open up a broader world for their employment.

In addition, foreign language proficiency is an important condition for successfully entering foreign companies.

Countermeasure 2: Encourage college students to work at the grassroots level

In order to promote the employment of college students and solve the problem of lack of talents at the grassroots level, many places have introduced policies and measures to encourage college students to work at the grassroots level.

Henan implemented the "College Student Village Cadre" plan to guide 10,000 college students to work at the grassroots level, and set up policy consultation desks at job fairs to publicize preferential policies to graduates at the grassroots level. Sichuan waved its "visible hand" to implement macro-control and proposed six major preferential policies, including household registration and personnel agency, employment services and social security, discounts for scientific and technological activities, personnel policies, student loan repayment and postgraduate entrance examination discounts, and self-employment discounts. Tianjin adheres to the close integration of higher vocational education and industrial development and implements an "order-based" training model.

In order to solve the problem of employment difficulties for college graduates, Hunan has also introduced many policies and measures. Graduates can refer to these policies and measures to find a breakthrough to solve their own employment difficulties.
