Can anyone compile for me a draft of the debate on whether college students’ employment difficulties are a personal issue? Thanks

Redirect:

Society restricts the employment of college students. If it is a problem of its own, then if 10 people compete for a position, if these 10 people are all people with similar academic abilities, If there is only one position, then 9 people will inevitably be eliminated. 10 of them are all talents. If the other 9 people fail to find better jobs because they lost this employment opportunity, is it a waste of talents? The premise is that 10 people are almost the same. This situation is very common.

Why is it difficult for college students to find jobs now? What's more behind is the restriction of social positions. There are many graduates and few positions, which will inevitably lead to a backlog of talents. Where will these talents go? We do not deny the existence of our own problems. After all, jobs are still based on merit, but we have to consider more, what is the point of going to college if we continue like this? How much psychological burden will it bring to college students?

Being able to enter college and graduate successfully is an affirmation for college students. If a person does not even have a chance to survive in society, then what meaning does college have for anyone? Woolen cloth?

How many college students graduate from school every year, how many college students have truly found a job that they are satisfied with, and how many college students can truly serve the country? If not, what is the use of the country in educating college students? Maybe there are differences in the abilities of college students, but we do not deny that there are still many things that are not perfect in today's education system, such as the teaching environment, software and hardware facilities, teachers, and the degree of participation in social practice. These have restricted the ability cultivation of college students to a considerable extent. Isn’t this also a certain degree of social factor?

How many college students have no way to serve the country, and how many college students are unable to find their talents? Many talents are often buried among crowded crowds. Some corruption in society and personal discrimination also seriously limit the discovery of talents. When talents cannot be put to good use, people with poor psychological adjustment ability may degenerate, or even give up their ideals and live their lives. There are not many such people, so is this just a personal problem?

Of course, people with serious problems will inevitably be eliminated by society, but should we pay more attention to these people who have struggled in the classroom and books for more than ten years? Is it possible that in the end they will say: "It doesn't matter whether you study or not, you will be unemployed anyway"?

Although today is a society where the jungle prevails, but for those college students who have struggled for so many years "in vain", should we be sarcastic, or should we respond with a caring attitude? Does society need to be more humanitarian?

The difficulty in finding employment for college students is due to external factors:

1. Unbalanced social and geographical development

According to relevant economic theories, every one percentage point increase in GDP will Creating 1 million jobs, my country's GDP growth has remained above 8% in recent years. But the actual situation is that there are obvious differences in regional development. The vast majority of college graduates want to choose a career in big cities, and fewer people are willing to go to grassroots and relatively underdeveloped western regions.

2. The employment system of enterprises is unreasonable

The employment system of some private enterprises is extremely unreasonable. Not only do they not sign labor contracts with employees, but they also have a series of social insurance, pension, provident fund, etc. There are no benefits or only three insurances and no fund. In addition, the starting salary is low, the increase is not large, and it is accompanied by a harsh fine system, which is unbearable for college students. At the same time, employers also set up barriers such as experience and gender to reject fresh graduates. Reasons for rejection include poor hands-on ability, training costs, low stability, etc. Employers pursue practicality and low cost when recruiting people, which leads to short-sightedness and impetuous mentality.

3. The market demand for white-collar workers is insufficient, and high-end market returnees are "killed" to return.

Since China's international division of labor is at the bottom of the international division of labor, the newly added labor jobs are mainly labor The intensive employment positions have caused "insufficient demand for white-collar workers" in China's employment situation. This is the main reason why it is difficult for Chinese college students to find employment. The existence of this problem has created a huge gap between the employment opportunities of China's college students and the huge number of graduates after the enrollment expansion. It will also reduce the bargaining position of college students and cause other serious problems.

The impact of returning overseas students on the employment of Chinese college students has intensified.

In recent years, the wave of overseas students returning to China has become higher and higher, directly squeezing the employment space of domestic college students. These overseas students have a good understanding of the rules of the world economy and the legal systems of various countries. After many years of training abroad, they have developed social practice skills and the ability to navigate various countries. Due to differences in social culture and political systems, students have relatively strong abilities and strong competitiveness, making them a strong opponent for the employment of domestic college students.

4. There is gender and geographical discrimination

Female college students are obviously at a disadvantage. Many employers consider female college students’ physiological factors, marital factors, achievement motivation, as well as maternity insurance premiums and Labor protection expenses for female workers, etc. Under the same circumstances, the future work cost of female college students will be higher than that of male college students, which is the main reason why it is difficult for female college students to find employment.

Regional discrimination among students. Many employers take into account the closeness of their business situation with the local area and hope that the college students they recruit will be familiar with the local dialect and customs and even have a certain network of interpersonal relationships. They will give priority to local talents when selecting talents. Even when recruiting civil servants, some local governments discriminate based on their student origin and implement regional protectionism, which is not conducive to fair competition among college students.

5. The expansion of college enrollment has led to a decline in teaching quality

Before the enrollment expansion in 1999, there were less than one million college graduates each year, but now the number has increased several times. In the absence of a significant increase in social demand for jobs, the employment pressure of college students is bound to be much greater than before.

Teachers in key universities generally attach great importance to scientific research, but do not have a strong sense of responsibility for undergraduate teaching. Some teachers lecture throughout the class and do not provide tutoring after class. In the economy and society, teachers are not available after class, let alone eating and living together, and the teacher is the father; the content and methods of education are despised, and the final decision is made by examinations; the internal operations of colleges and universities are closed, and there is a lack of self-evaluation and improvement functions, and the school still follows the tradition The examination-oriented teaching method has produced some students with high scores and low abilities; the level of education in various colleges and universities is uneven, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of the market. Especially in private colleges and universities, due to funding reasons, the "emphasis on literature and science" is serious. In addition, coupled with the eagerness for quick success, many schools have set up majors with low investment and quick results regardless of whether their own "software" and "hardware" allow it, leading to further imbalance in the majors. , these factors further cause employment difficulties for college students.

In the economy and society, teachers are hard to find after class, let alone eating and living together, and the teacher is the father; educational content and methods are despised, and examinations are the final word; the internal operations of colleges and universities are closed, and there is a lack of self-evaluation and improvement functions, and the school still follows the tradition The examination-oriented teaching method has produced some students with high scores and low abilities; the level of education in various colleges and universities is uneven, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of the market.

In addition, coupled with the eagerness for quick success, many schools have set up majors with low investment and quick results regardless of whether their own "software" and "hardware" allow it, leading to further imbalance in the majors. , these factors further cause employment difficulties for college students.

6. School majors are blind, misplaced, rigid, and unable to meet social needs

The subject structure of higher education is not reasonable. Although the Ministry of Education has adjusted the subject majors of colleges and universities:

p>

(1) Majors and curriculum are relatively blind. Whether the majors studied at the university are consistent with social needs? Employers have a higher professional preference for college students than universities. Some famous schools are not suitable for market majors, and students' employment is not ideal. Colleges and universities compete for “hot majors.” While employers value "professionalism", they also attach great importance to the "expertise" of college graduates. Comprehensive talents with expertise are a hot topic for employers to compete for.

(2) The curriculum for training research talents and senior specialized talents is unclear, causing the supply to seriously exceed the demand.

(3) The division of majors is too detailed and it is difficult to keep up with market changes. For example, computer application major graduates reported that students have never even heard of the names of some software that companies require proficiency in, and the software knowledge they learned in school has long been outdated, so they can only go to some computer companies to sell computers.

(4) The education majors in higher vocational and higher vocational colleges lack characteristics, and the students they train have neither systematic theoretical foundation nor strong practical abilities. Employers have put forward increasingly higher requirements for applicants' practical ability and ability to adapt to changes in the work environment. At the same time, the requirements for the quality of talents are getting higher and higher. However, the development of our university education itself and the students' own talent development methods is relatively slow, and they have not yet caught up with the needs of society soon.

(5) my country’s local college students face competition from international joint education institutions. In recent years, the higher education market has gradually opened up to foreign capital, and the entry of various forms of foreign educational institutions has created more types of talent training institutions. They not only provide short-term training for talents, but many educational institutions also jointly run schools with foreign universities. , this new talent training model directly challenges the talent training model of China's local universities, and has strengthened many competitors for the employment of local university students in my country.

7. Students lack employment training opportunities

Many companies refuse to bear the cost of "on-the-job training" for college students after they are employed, and recruitment generally requires "several years of work experience." In fact, a college student who graduated from science and engineering needs to continue studying for a certain period of time in the post-graduation job before he can become a qualified engineer.

8. The school’s employment guidance has not kept pace with employment channels.

The current employment channels are nothing more than school recommendations, introductions from acquaintances, job fairs on campus and society, and talent or employment websites. , apply for civil servants, serve the grassroots, etc. However, schools generally have more opportunities to recommend student cadres or those with outstanding achievements; some companies participate in job fairs because they are not interested in drinking, either to advertise or to make up for the host's face, and some They even take the opportunity to recruit cheap labor. Applications for civil servants are subject to restrictions on major, English level, interests, and party membership. These are only applicable to specific groups of people.

For most people, websites and job fairs are the main employment channels, and they cannot meet the needs of graduates.

Internal factors perspective:

1. Students’ expectations are too high

There are also some misunderstandings in the employment concept of college students. Due to the imbalance of economic development in different regions of our country, The gap between the eastern and western regions and between coastal areas and the mainland is large. When college graduates choose employment areas, they are overly concentrated in hot spots such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, resulting in a significant increase in employment pressure in these areas.

According to the 2006 College Student Employment Survey Report, 60% of college students currently have monthly salary expectations of less than 2,000 yuan. However, nearly 80% of employers believe that college students still have excessive expectations, mainly in terms of salary, location, personal development opportunities, job requirements, industry requirements, holiday requirements and professional counterparts. Many college students feel aggrieved by this, because low wages cannot meet their basic survival needs and often fail to provide sufficient work incentives for them. As a result, they will inevitably have multiple employment choices and employers will be wary of college students.

2. Can’t afford to lose face and enter the workshop to work

College students’ psychological positioning of “If they can’t achieve a high level, they can’t settle for a low level” seriously affects their employment. Such as "I would rather work as a staff in a foreign company than work as a backbone in a small or medium-sized enterprise" and "difficulty in employment" and "skilled labor shortage". There is still a gap in demand. There is nothing wrong with expanding enrollment. The 20% gross enrollment rate shows that we have not done enough. It’s just that the problem lies in the quality of current college graduates, which is either high or low. It is difficult for them to be competent in the service industry of multinational companies or the local outsourcing industry. In fact, they still do not know how to do technical work. They say that they can learn it through training, but college students cannot afford to work in workshops.

3. Students lack job search skills

Employers said that some students often lack confidence when applying for jobs, are overly nervous, hesitate when answering questions, and cannot express themselves. strength. Today's society has begun to transform from an identity society to a capability society, and career regeneration capabilities have always been accompanied by college students' employment and careers. To increase the employment rate, we must start by improving employability. In the daily operation of the talent market, we have found that professional graduates with high employment rates and college students who are easy to find jobs have very strong employment indexes. These college students usually pay great attention to cultivating their own adaptability; they practice according to the job description indicators; Continuously enhance the job capabilities required by yourself and the target company; be good at tapping your potential for job work. These are employment indexes. Grasp these and continuously improve them.

4. The overall quality of college students is as follows:

(1) Strong dependence and weak creativity. The age of eighteen marks the entry into the adult stage of life, and the concept of "independence" should be very strong. In recent years, our country has often organized "Adult Days" and "Adult Ceremonies" to promote and encourage young people to become useful people in society. But in real life, "independence" means that young people only have to make decisions about small things themselves, while parents have to make decisions about big things. College students are completely independent in choosing their majors and careers, and 40% of the surveyed people are looking for a job. We often see that college students looking for jobs in the job market are often accompanied by their parents when talking to employers. Parents are eager to introduce them first. This long-term dependence has seriously affected the closing rate of college students' employment intentions. In developed countries, on their 18th birthday, parents will take the initiative to remind their children, "From today on, children must make their own decisions and handle their own problems."

(2) Lack of social ethics. When a job fair for college students ended at 4 p.m., the scene was filled with excitement. Cigarette butts, mineral water bottles, fast food boxes... are thrown all over the floor. Even primary school students know that they can't do it without littering

(3) Integrity issues, many graduates find that there are certain problems when applying for jobs. Certificates, diplomas, and resumes can bring convenience to job hunting. In order to attract the attention and attention of employers among the many applicants, they do their best to make their materials eye-catching and perfect. There are roughly four situations: first, fabricating resumes of student cadres, resulting in the phenomenon of eight monitors in one class; second, forging various grade certificates; third, fabricating honors; fourth, promoting one's own expertise. Honest students work hard to obtain relevant certificates during their college years. Students who do not work hard will defraud the initial trust of enterprises through opportunism or fraud, causing certain damage to the overall image of college graduates.

5. College students’ self-positioning is biased and their job search career is unclear and their paths are unclear

College students should not start preparing for employment in their senior year, but should have an ideological foundation on the first day of college. The first grade learns about themselves, the second grade focuses on a career of interest, the third grade aims to improve professional accomplishment, and the fourth grade initially completes the role transition from student to professional. Students study hard in order to be admitted to college. After entering college, they no longer study seriously. They are less concerned about market changes and social changes, and their attention and energy are devoted to exams, online chats, and games. Most students are relatively vague about career goals and job search methods. College students should devote more energy and time to preparing for the college entrance examination, form research habits, analyze talent market demand information, study the classification and applicability of information, and grasp their own majors and regional economic development and industrial changes. Know yourself and your enemy and choose a region, industry, and company for employment after thorough research and analysis.

6. "It is better to take the postgraduate entrance examination than to get a job"

Under the pressure of finding a job, college students chose to continue studying. Although they were reluctant, they had no choice. This is a popular saying in the university. "If you don't take the postgraduate entrance examination in your senior year, you will celebrate the New Year every day." Studying is no longer fun, but I still choose to study again. Social practice has proved that continuous study of bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees is not conducive to the growth of talents. Developed countries restrict continuous study of some majors, requiring more than two years of work experience, and postgraduate study is allowed. The talent market reflects that in recent years, graduate students and undergraduate students have entered the market competition at the same time, and the success rate of master's students in finding jobs has also begun to decline.

Editor's note:

External factors work through internal factors, which are the decisive factors. Under certain conditions, external factors can be internalized into internal factors, and gradually change with the internal factors and undergo qualitative changes. This condition remains unchanged for a long time or is very strong and far exceeds the internal bearing capacity, forcing it to change. If it does not adapt, it will be eliminated and fail. Therefore, the endurance of internal factors becomes a factor in the role of external factors. The external factors interact with each other to cause internal changes to occur.

Social development and drastic changes in the environment force college students to keep up with the development of the times and constantly improve their comprehensive qualities so that those who adapt can survive. The slow development of some individual cities and the severe overall employment situation are due to external factors, but internal factors such as individuals play a decisive role. As the environment changes, many people can adapt to the changes.

Improving the employment of college students is fundamental. It is necessary for society, enterprises, and college students to work together. Through the specific list and analysis of the above-mentioned internal and external factors, the purpose is to allow college students to better understand the employment situation and trends, and to correct and improve existing problems through reasonable channels.
