How to "seamlessly connect" college life with the workplace

It seems that countless college students can't break the spell from students to favored children, and then from favored children to all sentient beings, drowning in the sea of people and running for survival.

Xiangyang career found that contemporary college students are eager to be liked by others, eager for independence, and have high expectations for success. Not long ago, Xiangyang Career, together with China Professional Planners Association, launched a college student program in some universities in Shanghai? A survey of college students' pre-service status? According to the survey, there are ten major pain points for college students: confusion and lack of confidence in the future, large deviation in self-cognition, unclear advantages and disadvantages, which certificate to take, where to go after graduation, unreasonable resumes, numerous interviews without offer, too little employment information, worrying future of going abroad for postgraduate study, and how to make career planning.

Then, how can we make college students' campus life seamlessly connect with the workplace, master certain workplace information and professional skills before applying for a job, and smoothly realize the role change from students to professionals?

1, the common characteristics of contemporary college students:

China Association of Career Planners and Xiangyang Career, an authoritative organization of career planning consultation, conducted a survey on 5 17 college students in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Suzhou. What are college students most interested in? What are the top three research activities? Eager for success? 93%、? Want others to like you? 87%; ? Maverick? 78%。

The results of this survey show that? What do college students care most about? The top three are: interpersonal skills, skills training certificates such as the second major, and love.

Through investigation and random telephone interview, it was found that? Impetuous? Fragile? Abandoned? Depression? Is the word most frequently used by contemporary college students,

Lofty and humble? 、? Impetuous? This phenomenon is very common. Yan Ling, a top employability expert and senior career planner in Xiangyang, pointed out that the main reason for this phenomenon is psychological compensation, a college student who is in the way.

In the past few years, most college students have a proud past and a history of his or her struggle to be the first. Once admitted to the university, you will feel that you should relax after the big battle, so inertia breeds. You talk about Ma Yun and Yu Hongmin all day, and you are crazy about inspiration and success. You imagine the secret of success, but to some extent you ignore the down-to-earth efforts in reality.

2. Contemporary college students' workplace status:

After four years of carefree college life, more than 95% of college students think that it is natural to work after graduation, and few people really think about what the workplace is like and what the environment will be like. Many college students can persist for a while because they have a certain sense of freshness in the workplace at the beginning of employment, but once this honeymoon period is over, the blind trial and error and job-hopping will be staged one by one.

A recent job-hopping survey of college graduates shows that the turnover rate of 20 15 college graduates within half a year is:? 2 1 1? College 22%, isn't it? 2 1 1? 33% for undergraduate colleges and 45% for higher vocational colleges. ? What kind of resignation? There are three types: voluntary resignation, dismissal by the employer, and both (it may happen if you leave your job more than twice). Among them, 88% resigned voluntarily. A considerable number of graduates leave their jobs because they think? Not enough room for personal development? .

Objectively speaking, recent graduates have worked for less than half a year. Not enough room for personal development? The reason for job hopping is far-fetched. ? Fang Wenyi, a senior career planner in Xiangyang, thinks. ? Experience in the workplace is not a temporary achievement, so frequent job-hopping is not good for long-term development in the future. ?

The first year of fresh graduates entering the workplace basically belongs to the adaptation period after entering the job, but they are in the exploration stage in their personal career development. Although graduates can pass? Trial and error? To explore personal career interests, but frequent job-hopping is extremely harmful. It is not worth promoting that fresh graduates quit their jobs after working for less than half a year!

3. How to connect seamlessly:

At present, there are many students who have just entered the university. Freshman, sophomore, relax first, junior, senior, and then come on? Mentality. The lack of scientific planning for their four-year college life and even their future development often becomes an important reason why they are at a loss when facing the pressure of future employment. As an authoritative career planning consulting organization, Xiangyang Career believes that improving college students' career planning awareness and employability is the key to solving college students' employment difficulties. Dale Hong, the chief career planner of Xiangyang Career, pointed out that college graduates generally lack career planning and tend to be blind in job hunting. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to make a good career plan as soon as possible during school.

According to a survey of 230 college students in eight universities in Shanghai, 63% of them have no plans for their future development and careers, 33% are unclear, and only 4% have clear designs.

Zhang Lai, a sophomore in a well-known university in Shanghai, made it clear that he is not clear about his position and goals at present, and he has not made a comprehensive and accurate judgment on his knowledge background and talent. He wants to find a job, but he doesn't know where to start except the resume of Haitou. Like Zhang, many college students' understanding of employment is mostly an armchair strategist, lacking core competitiveness, and their professional knowledge and skills can't meet the post needs. Through the research in the field of career planning in recent seven years, it is found that career planning in university stage is usually divided into four steps:

1) Freshman: Exploration

After entering the university, many people will find that what they are studying at present is not what they are interested in: marketing, obviously wanting to be an accountant, but choosing to study; Want to be an IT expert, but study Chinese in China?

Ma Shibin, an expert on career management, the chief organization of Xiangyang Career, pointed out that freshmen are in the exploration stage of their careers, and students need to establish correct career ideals and plan their employment direction as soon as possible.

At this stage, you can find a preliminary career orientation through a comprehensive analysis of yourself and your professional environment. For example, through professional career counseling, or with the help of some analytical questionnaires and scientific evaluation tools, we can make a comprehensive analysis of our abilities, interests, personalities, values and needs, and objectively understand our strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, we should pay attention to the analysis of the professional environment, integrate our own resources, evaluate employment opportunities, and understand the current situation and development prospects of the target industry/enterprise, as well as the conditions and qualifications of the post.

2) Sophomore and junior: Preparation

With a preliminary career orientation, we should determine the majors, elective courses and self-taught courses around this orientation in the preparation stage of study. At the same time, build a reasonable knowledge structure, reorganize the existing knowledge, and maximize the overall efficiency of knowledge. In the past two years, in addition to absorbing professional knowledge as much as possible, you can also take some business courses and prepare relevant qualification certificates.

According to the recent market data of China Professional Planners Association, many college students have realized that the earlier they establish their career orientation and plan their careers, the better their employment will be. It is reported that in the JCP special training camp for job hunting and employment in Xiangyang, the number of college students in the last two periods was as high as 75%, up 16% year-on-year and 23% quarter-on-quarter. Two days and one night of special training can help students determine and find the best career orientation most efficiently, which is a very useful and high-value training for college students who are still in the career exploration period.

According to the analysis of tens of thousands of customer cases accumulated in Xiangyang's career for seven years, it is often those who make plans in advance and make full preparations in the workplace. They not only pay attention to the cultivation of their own personalized knowledge structure, but also know how to accumulate rich practical experience. More importantly, during this period, they strengthened the expansion and maintenance of personal relationships, greatly improved their employability, and unified their knowledge structure with various abilities needed to adapt to society, so that they were in an invincible position.

3) Senior Three: Sprint

While constantly strengthening professional study and seeking job opportunities, don't neglect to collect and obtain all kinds of information of the target company/position. We should know that the senior year is the most critical period for job hunting, and we should mobilize all resources and try our best to find suitable employment opportunities. We should not only know the relevant information of the target enterprise, but also know the demand of the job market through various channels, and also know the requirements of the recruiting unit for the knowledge and skills of the candidates, so as to improve our knowledge and ability system at any time.

In a word, the efforts made during college are, in the final analysis, to find a good job that suits you. Just like a race, the closer you get to the finish line, the faster and more powerful you will be. Signing a contract is the last word!

4) Work signing: docking

It's really a great pleasure to get the offer from the enterprise before leaving school, but at this time, you can't be complacent and get carried away because you got the offer. After all, campus and social life are still very different. From signing a contract to leaving school, you can make up some knowledge and skills in a targeted manner.

Dale Hong, the chief career planner of Xiangyang Career, stressed that college students need to constantly improve their adaptability if they want to develop their careers smoothly, such as establishing and strengthening their awareness of professional roles, adjusting the rules of life, improving the intelligent structure of professional posts as soon as possible, establishing good interpersonal relationships, mastering the rules of survival in the workplace, and cracking the secrets of happy work.

In the current period of great social pressure, it is necessary for college students to sort out their career plans before applying for a job, and make long-term career development goals for themselves according to their career tendencies and personality, and then decompose them into short-term plans. For a person with a clear career plan, can he grasp his own development track and successfully complete his career? College students? Arrive? Working people? Role change.
