How contemporary college students view and actively respond to the employment situation rationally

1． Analysis of the deep-seated reasons for the difficulty in finding employment for college students

(1) The contrast between aspirations and reality constitutes an important reason for the difficulty in finding employment for college students at this stage.

The personal concepts of family and students also cause employment difficulties to a certain extent. Families' investment in their children's education, especially higher education, is increasing day by day, and their expectations for their children's employment naturally increase with the increase in investment in education. This is an objective reflection. As far as the subjective wishes of students and parents are concerned, although my country's higher education has entered the stage of public education from elite education, parents and individual college students still have high expectations for employment after graduation. When there is a gap between this high expectation and actual job positions or opportunities, college students may fall into a situation where it is difficult to find a job. Therefore, the contrast between aspirations and reality constitutes an important reason why college students find it difficult to find employment at this stage.

(2) The imperfection of the information market leads to asymmetry of employment information.

Graduate job hunting and servant recruitment are an interactive process. In this process, graduates need to obtain information from the employer through various channels, and the employer must also fully understand the information about the job seeker. The two are a two-way selection process. On the one hand, job seekers need to understand the actual situation of the talent, salary, and specific work required by the maid unit; on the other hand, the maid unit needs to know the real information of the job seekers, including their knowledge structure, comprehensive quality, and future development. direction etc. Because there are asymmetric and insufficient employment information in my country's labor market at present, employment information often cannot meet the requirements of both labor and capital. This will lead to the following two situations: First, college graduates enter a job that is not suitable for them. Enterprises change jobs soon after receiving training, or they simply cannot adapt to the working environment of the enterprise and are eliminated, which makes the recruitment of enterprises more harmful and few dare to recruit inexperienced fresh graduates; secondly, some graduates lack the After entering the company, I found that things were counterproductive, but some companies would illegally demand high liquidated damages by possessing files. Many graduates would rather lose their jobs than sign for such an employer.

(3) Structural contradictions and misalignment of supply and demand.

Our country’s college student training mechanism is far from the actual needs of society: universities do not supply the talents that society needs, and there is a huge shortage, while universities go to great lengths to train talents that society does not need, resulting in a surplus. Therefore, our country’s college students The employment problem is actually a problem of structural excess. At the current stage of the development of the market economy, many colleges and universities are still far away from the actual needs of the market, fabricating based on their own experience rather than actual surveys, and the relevant teaching materials are too outdated. How can students trained under this situation contribute to society? The declining quality of teaching in colleges and universities and the ubiquitous atmosphere of frivolity and impatience have intensified the structural contradictions. It’s incredible how neglected teaching is in many colleges and universities at the moment. These colleges and universities have spent a lot of time and money to build luxurious campuses, but they are very stingy in investing in teaching and scientific research. This kind of reversal of priorities is extremely common nowadays. Many colleges and universities are expanding with an almost nouveau riche mentality, while paying little attention to the core teaching work of colleges and universities. Ignoring it, the students trained are increasingly alienated from the needs of the social form. In fact, after many college students join the workforce, the employer often has to train them a second time. This will undoubtedly increase the cost of the employer and cause them headaches. They gradually lose interest in college graduates. Many employees The unit's admission requirements require more than two years of work experience, which is also based on this difficulty.

(4) Irregular job market is a bottleneck.

At present, there are still some unfair and irregular phenomena in my country's job market. The underdevelopment of the job market has caused many damages to the employment of college students. In our country's job market, on the one hand, the one-sided view of talents and servants has led to the coexistence of academic worship and academic discrimination, which directly reduces the effective matching of college graduates with employment opportunities, and also results in the huge number of human labor resources. Waste distorts normal people's labor capital investment behavior. On the other hand, the influence of various abnormal phenomena has destroyed the fairness of the job market. Objectively, interpersonal relationships play a very important role in the current employment in our country. Unfair employment opportunities are not only reflected among college students. , also reflected between college students and other groups.

It is precisely because the relevant departments failed to effectively maintain fair competition in the job market that university graduates who should have been the most competitive for employment have instead become a special vulnerable group in employment. This is a direct result of the alienation of the job market.

3． Rational thinking on reversing the employment situation of college students

The current employment problem of college students is a structural problem that affects the whole body. Solving the employment problem of college students is not something that can be completed overnight, but a long-term "System engineering" requires coordination and cooperation among college students, the market, and universities under the macro-control of the authorities.

(1) The authorities: comprehensively use various means to carry out macro-control and create a relatively equal competitive environment for college graduates to choose careers.

① The authorities should make long-term plans to coordinate the differences in the urban-rural dual structure and regional gaps. This is not only related to the employment of college students, but also to the long-term development of the country.

②The most urgent task for the government to solve the employment dilemma of college students in a short period of time should be to eliminate the institutional and policy barriers that hinder the employment of college students through laws, policies and other means, especially regarding household registration and mobility issues. Although this cannot It will fundamentally change the current situation of college students flocking to big cities to find employment, but it can also effectively alleviate the current situation where a large number of students are backlogged in finding jobs in big cities.

③ Appropriately shift resources to small and medium-sized towns, change the political resource gap between large and small cities and regions, and better guide college students to move to underdeveloped areas, small towns and other areas. This will not only provide Small towns bring human labor resources, which can also relieve the pressure on large and medium-sized cities and promote a virtuous cycle of social development.

④Maintaining fair competition is fundamental. The authorities should create and maintain an integrated and fair employment environment in the job market as soon as possible, change the policy orientation of mutual separation and headache in the employment of specific groups such as college students, and allocate attention, financial resources, administrative suppression, etc. Shift to efforts to create and maintain a fair competitive environment in the job market. To this end, we must first prohibit employment discrimination and abandon the worship of academic qualifications, and replace them with fair employment and give priority to ability; second, we must standardize the labor market, strengthen supervision of workers’ employment, and eliminate all kinds of unfair competition behaviors;

< p>⑤Establish and improve the social security system. Most people always criticize college students for not being rational enough and having high expectations when choosing careers, but few people analyze in depth the reasons why high expectations fail. College students lack a sense of security when choosing a career. They often worry about turning back, and worry about having no guarantee of life after losing their job, getting sick, or other situations. Because our country's social security system is not yet complete and mature enough, especially the urban-rural dual structure and the imbalanced development between east and west regions, there are large differences in social security. Therefore, college students have lingering fears when choosing a career. They have to consider the very practical issue of social security and strive to find jobs in large and medium-sized cities and units with good conditions. It is necessary to guide college students to take up or not take up jobs in the west and rural areas, change the current situation of difficulty in finding employment for college students, and establish and improve the social security system

It is imperative, especially in the west and the vast rural areas. The policy of "provide support for the elderly, provide medical treatment for the sick, and provide relief for the unemployed". If this is really done, the slogan "College students go to the west and go to the countryside" will not be just an empty talk, but will become a reality in the near future.

⑥The authorities should pay attention to coordinating information communication between schools and the market in the process of macro-control. In addition to formulating the so-called employment rate indicators, they should also pay attention to macro-level planning and guidance, and reasonably guide the development of colleges and universities. Enrollment scope and market economy structure.

(2) College students: Change traditional employment concepts and move toward the market.

Concepts are core values. Correct concepts bring correct actions, and correct actions will produce correct results. Establishing a correct employment concept is the first step for college students to lead a good life. Wherever you find a job and what kind of work you do, you should look at it dialectically, developmentally, and comprehensively. Small businesses have important positions, remote areas have the most suitable development opportunities, the most difficult places can best temper people's aspirations, and the places where the motherland needs them are also the places where young people grow the fastest.

① Don’t miss the opportunity, make an early decision. At present, many graduates are still looking around and hesitating. Some laymen have several choices but have not signed the contract, always hoping that miracles will appear tomorrow.

Don’t you know that the peak of servants is fleeting? With the supply of graduates abundant and social demand showing a buyer’s market, it is impossible for a good servant company to go to the same school twice or multiple times within a demand cycle. , let alone waiting for your belated reply. Therefore, it is recommended that students who are currently interested in employment sign a contract as soon as possible. Of course, don’t force others to make things difficult if they are really not ideal.

② Cast the net carefully and focus on fishing. For graduates who have not yet found a job, employment information is the most important. On the one hand, it is necessary to contact the school's employment department as soon as possible to obtain help and support from the main channels; on the other hand, it is necessary to make full use of the "geographic, blood, and academic connections" to mobilize fellow residents, relatives, friends, classmates, and alumni to find information. When there is a target, we should focus on "fishing". When there is no target, we can selectively "cast the net" comprehensively, or even "cast a pole if there are dates but not".
