How to break the curse of unemployment after graduation? -Happy employment, from freshman year!

Because of the epidemic, the employment rate of college students in China has dropped significantly this year compared with previous years. Unemployment after graduation is even more serious than in previous years. But even in this unfavorable situation, many college students have successfully found their favorite jobs. Because of the objective reason of difficult employment, many college students' friends and parents choose to continue their postgraduate entrance examination, hoping to improve their employability by continuing their studies.

it is certainly good from the starting point to improve the employability of college students through postgraduate entrance examination, but the final actual effect needs to vary from person to person. Postgraduate entrance examination is a method to improve the employment rate of college students, but it does not mean that it is a panacea and the only way to improve the employment ability of college students.

Dear college students, in the face of the difficult employment, you should never take the postgraduate entrance examination as a way to escape the employment pressure. If you take the postgraduate entrance examination for the sake of postgraduate entrance examination, you don't have a clear study goal, you don't like your major, you don't know much about your chosen tutor, and you don't know about your future employment prospects. In the end, you can only go to the doctor in a hurry and take the postgraduate entrance examination blindly, which may backfire.

As contemporary college students and parents of college students, if they want to improve their ability of happy employment and find a good job with happiness, they should not only pay attention to whether their education is graduate or not, but also consider whether they have a clear career plan for the future. Is there a specific job-seeking and employment goal for future planning? Whether the targeted education promotion plan, professional ability promotion plan, general ability promotion plan and work experience accumulation plan have been drawn up according to the future employment goals.

Ming Xu gave an example of this misunderstanding, and everyone can understand it immediately.

If a student majoring in marketing chooses to engage in marketing planning after graduation. If he just learns the knowledge in college textbooks, has no practical marketing experience, doesn't know how to deal with customers, how to communicate with leaders, how to cooperate with colleagues, and how to analyze users' needs, he can only copy them according to the requirements in the textbooks, and finally he can't write a marketing plan that meets the actual needs of the company. Such a college student believes that few enterprises will hire him and give him employment opportunities.

in this seemingly simple example, if we disassemble it from the perspective of personal long-term happiness and employment, we will find that after entering the workplace, college students need not only theoretical knowledge in textbooks, but also the ability to deal with people, analyze users' needs and solve problems. Of course, in the actual work process, you may also need personal basic abilities such as time management, target management, energy management, emotional management, and resistance to pressure and frustration.

And some of these abilities may be taught in universities, but most of them can't be learned in textbooks. If they are not completed during the university, the thinking changes from high school students to college students and from college students to professionals will still spend four years in university with the exam-oriented education thinking in middle school, without paying attention to the expansion of knowledge outside textbooks, the accumulation of experience and the expansion of contacts. It will be a high probability event if you just bury yourself in the theory of studying hard and can't find a job after graduation.

Ming Xu also sincerely suggests that all incoming college students and their parents and friends must adjust their thinking and cognition. While learning the required courses well, they must make full use of their spare time, boldly go out of the campus and enter the society, deepen their understanding of society and the workplace in practice, further clarify their future career development goals, and then make a four-year academic plan, social practice plan and personal ability improvement plan for the university based on this.

Finally, Mingxu reminds me again that the preparation for happy employment should not wait until the senior year, but start from the freshman year, because no matter the future study, social practice or personal ability improvement, it will not happen overnight, and it will take a long time to accumulate, and as a college student, I don't know much about society. What kind of work can I do for my major in the future? What kind of working environment, salary and treatment are not well understood. If you can make relevant preparations from the freshman year, you can clearly know whether you like it or not. If you want to change your major, you can make a decision as early as possible. If you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you can also prepare as early as possible. Only in this way can you really find a good job with happiness when you graduate.
