Job hunting: a skill is better than a high degree.

Job hunting: One skill is better than a high degree

At present, it is said that it is difficult for college students to find a job. Some college students who just attended the job fair lamented: "No chance. It's too difficult. " However, yesterday, at a job fair for higher vocational students in Shanghai Jianfeng Vocational and Technical College, the reporter saw another scene: the employer was no longer a cold face, but was replaced by enthusiastic exchanges again and again; The submitted resume will no longer "sink into the sea", but a firm promise: "I will definitely contact you."

targeted employment for students

It is reported that most of the 1, graduates of Jianfeng College have found satisfactory jobs this year. Xu Hui, the vice president, told the reporter that the employment rate of the school has reached over 96% for several years in a row. Of this 96%, no one belongs to the "college-upgraded undergraduate" and no one has gone abroad. All the students here actually choose employment on the spot.

Shi Yan, a 4-year-old applied English major, found a job as a clerk in a district hospital. She was very satisfied with this: "What I have learned is applied knowledge, so I should go to the grass-roots level. I hope to work there for a long time. " Wang Ruichao, the representative of the employer and Shanghai Kangye Architectural Decoration Engineering Company, said: "Compared with the impetuous job-hunting mentality of many undergraduates and graduate students, higher vocational graduates are much more pragmatic. In the past, we also went to famous universities to recruit undergraduates, but they were not comfortable enough and often jumped ship, which was very unfavorable to the development of enterprises. Now we recruit front-line managers and prefer to use higher vocational students. "

The unit recruits people for practical use

A personnel manager of the logistics branch of China Twentieth Metallurgical Construction Company stated more bluntly: "If you want to find a job, you don't have to have a high degree. What is important is to see whether the students have practical ability. Nowadays, vocational college students have practical experience and strong hands-on ability, and enterprises need front-line operators. Therefore, we can use junior college students instead of undergraduates and graduate students. "

Many units present said that in fact, the surplus in the talent market are those college students with optical theory, and there are not too many vocational college students with practical ability, but few. The reporter learned that the two traditional majors of Jianfeng College, construction and engineering supervision, have all been admitted by Shanghai Construction Engineering Group without graduation. Other enterprises have to book in advance if they want important people. The graduates majoring in customs declaration and hotel management are often in short supply. The reporter paid attention to the "price code" issued by the employer. The average monthly salary is about 2, yuan, which is not lower than the level of undergraduates. Xu Hui said: "In the future, the development of the school will not pursue' upgrading from college to undergraduate', but still carry out higher vocational education in a down-to-earth manner and cultivate more practical talents that meet the market demand."

Parents' concept should be changed

This job fair of Jianfeng College echoes-yesterday, 11 colleges and universities in Shanghai recruited vocational college students independently, which has not been seen for many years. Relevant education experts pointed out that this shows that higher vocational education has begun to attract the attention of parents and candidates. "Jianfeng phenomenon" reminds candidates who are about to fill in the college entrance examination but have average academic performance that instead of applying for an ordinary undergraduate major, it is better to choose a distinctive higher vocational major. Parents should also change their ideas. After all, a high degree of education can't be eaten as a meal, and it depends on a skill to make children gain a foothold in society in the future. ;
