Are undergraduate students superior to junior college students?

College students who have always struggled to compete with highly educated undergraduates when applying for jobs, actually had the last laugh after 20 undergraduate-level colleagues in the same company were fired one after another. When the company boss explained why he abandoned these 20 undergraduate employees, he only said: "The cultivation of these young people is too unqualified. On the contrary, the college student is better than her in terms of personal character and cultivation." Culture' for undergraduates".

Recently, reporters visited digital undergraduates, junior college students, talent recruitment markets and related company CEOs and found that in terms of work attitude, junior college students are more hard-working than undergraduates, and to some extent On the other hand, companies also tend to prefer low-key and pragmatic college graduate employees.

ByeBye, undergraduate employee

In the double selection meeting in July this year, 21 college students applied for jobs at a technology industry company in Chongqing. But what is shocking is that in less than four months, 20 of the employees with bachelor's degrees were fired by the company one after another, while only one college student was lucky enough to stay.

It is understood that the first batch of people dismissed by the company were two talented computer students from a key university. After the two finished discussing business with a customer for the first time, they left equipment worth more than 30,000 yuan in a taxi. Faced with criticism from the department manager, the two behaved plausibly: "I'm sorry, we are just graduated students. It is common for students to make mistakes, so please forgive me."

As a result, the two became the first batch of people to be criticized. Fire employees.

Subsequently, the third person who was "kicked out" by the company was a female student who graduated with a bachelor's degree. It is said that the girl likes to sleep in, is often late for work, and chats online on QQ during working hours. She ignored many warnings from her supervisor and was eventually "sent home" by the company.

In addition, three college students quickly packed up and went home because they were too "arrogant". When these three "big brothers" were having work meals with clients, they talked loudly and treated the restaurant like their own home, leaving no chance for clients and company leaders to even talk.

During the dinner, a boy opened his mouth and spit due to his personal "hygienic habits". The spit fell right at the customer's feet, and the customer jumped from his stool in shock. stand up. But the boy continued to eat and chat loudly as if nothing had happened. Of course, these three classmates said goodbye to the company soon.

Once, the company boss took his employees to other places for promotion and rented a villa on the beach. However, there were only more than 20 guest rooms and more than 100 employees.

Some new college students don’t even understand the most basic courtesy etiquette. After the meeting, they rushed to the reception desk to register for the room. After getting the key, they went into the room and locked the door. TV, playing poker, and as a result, many old employees who were too embarrassed to "fight" for rooms with young people ended up squeezing together with each other or even having to sleep in the corridor.

During the process, some college students walked out of their rooms several times and saw older employees sleeping in the corridor, but they turned a blind eye and said nothing.

This naturally caused several college students to lose their jobs.

It is understood that the last person to be dismissed was a college boy. The reason was that he booked a flight to Nanjing in advance without negotiating the business with the client. He stayed there for several days but returned without success, causing the company to lose thousands of yuan.

When his department manager asked about this, he had no regrets, "I think I was right. They changed their mind at the last minute, and there was nothing I could do about it. Even if you are the leader, I am not afraid! Anyway, I That's right again. "

After he was fired, he invited two colleagues who were good at it to go with him. Next, the three of them pulled away several like-minded brothers from the company.

In this way, after more than three months, all 20 undergraduates left the company.

The lucky one is a junior college student

Twenty undergraduate colleagues were fired one after another, but the only lucky one who "survived" turned out to be a female junior college student.

According to relevant people in the company, the junior college student is very low-key, has a good work attitude, and is very diligent in her work. There are two words written on the cover of her work record book: Diligent.

The girl often said: "If I just talk about diplomas, I will definitely not be able to beat them, but I feel that as long as you work hard, be responsible to customers, and create benefits for the company, all of this is better than a bachelor's degree." "

This diligent junior college girl said that when she first started working, she was not familiar with anything and needed to learn a lot of things. If she didn't understand anything, she would study hard and there were almost no jobs in the company. Colleagues at the top and bottom have all been her teachers.

This girl has always maintained a modest and prudent attitude towards her colleagues who are older than herself, and treats every old employee as a teacher respectfully.

"As a member of the company, you should understand that your words and deeds must be in line with the legitimate interests of the company. To be responsible for your own future, you must first be responsible for your own unit and your work. If you want to be recognized by the leaders of your unit, "Cultivation and knowledge are indispensable. The prerequisite for doing anything should be to learn to be a human being," said the relevant person in charge of the company.

"Some college students have just entered society and may have some problems in their role transformation, interpersonal relationships, ideological understanding, etc. This incident should only serve as a reminder to more college students. From the moment they enter college When you face your first job on the first day, when you focus on improving your knowledge structure, you should also pay attention to your moral cultivation and grasp the good things in a measured way. "

College students are more pragmatic

Zhou Jia, head of the Talent Market Division of Jiefangbei Market of Lianying Talent Market, said that it has been obvious in many large-scale talent recruitment fairs in the past that undergraduates are better able to reflect their career choices than junior college students. It turns out that they are keen on managerial positions with high salaries and good company backgrounds, while college students are more pragmatic and tend to "employ first and then choose a career."

Zhou Jia said that many undergraduates rely on their high diplomas and like to find jobs. They usually disdain recruitment by some small and medium-sized enterprises and always ask for the position of department head. In fact, how many units are willing to pay high salaries to hire college students with no work experience?

Junior college students are more pragmatic and are more willing to endure hardships and stand hard work than undergraduates. They are also willing to try positions such as operators and marketers in manufacturing companies that undergraduates are not interested in at all. Just like the recent recruitment fair held by a large home appliance chain store, almost no undergraduates from all salesperson and salesperson categories came to apply. Some college students managed to squeeze in and immediately turned around and left when they found out they were recruiting salespersons.

In addition, Zhou Jia also said that according to the recent psychological price test of salary for college and junior college students in the talent market, the psychological price of most undergraduates has dropped from the previous 1,200 yuan to 800 yuan.

Excellent even if you don’t have a bachelor’s degree

Graduate students and undergraduates have relatively clear employment directions. Their goals are white-collar and white-collar workers. Gold-collar and technical students generally have good skills, and blue-collar is the direction they strive for. Are the remaining junior college students caught in the middle really not good at "looking good"?

During the interview, the reporter also heard that many junior college students complained that they could not find their "place to stand" and seemed to have become a "catch-all". How should they break through in terms of employment?

Being solid and pragmatic towards the top

It is not without a "miracle" that a junior college student competed with more than 30 undergraduates for a position and finally won. Zhang Yi, who works as the manager of the car rental department of Chongqing Runtai Startup Company, has her own impressive job search experience, which makes her a "person of the hour" in the company.

When she recalled her job application experience in November 2000, she said, "Among the more than 30 people waiting for the interview, I was the only junior college student. I almost felt that there was no chance for me, but I felt very unhappy. Be convinced and try whatever you say."

Zhang Yi said that in addition to her solid professional foundation, her advantage lies in her pragmatic style. "I am very concerned about salary, position, and benefits. There are no special requirements, which makes it difficult for those undergrads to do so.

At present, I have been promoted to the leasing department manager, which makes me believe that as long as you make achievements, there will be corresponding rewards.

There is nothing wrong with people seeking higher places, but some undergraduates do not have enough understanding of the current employment situation. After picking and choosing, they have become 'older youths' and still struggle to find their 'in-laws'."

The job search threshold should be the same

"When we recruit college graduates from schools, we don’t focus more on work experience, because fresh graduates are unlikely to have good work experience. It mainly depends on his overall quality and comprehensive ability, including his level of understanding of the position he is applying for. "Zeng Qiang, the relevant person in charge of Chongqing Runtai Startup Company said.

"Most college students have a pragmatic and down-to-earth mentality, are willing to work, can stay, and are easy to manage. I think this is why more and more college students are This is an important reason why employers are willing to give junior college students opportunities."

It is understood that in some administrative and secretarial jobs, the salary of undergraduates may be slightly higher than that of junior college students, but the difference is not far away. According to recruiters from the human resources department of many companies, junior college students are actually qualified for these jobs. Therefore, when applying for jobs, some undergraduates have too high expectations for the position, which actually becomes their disadvantage.

"No. It is denied that undergraduates may have deeper intrinsic qualities, but the threshold for undergraduates and junior college students when applying for jobs should be the same, and future performance can only determine future treatment. "Zeng Qiang said.

A guide to finding a job

A relevant person from the Employment Guidance Service Center for College and Technical Secondary School Graduates of the Chongqing Municipal Education Commission said, "Now the entire society is paying more and more attention to the employment issue of college students. , the evaluation of talents is gradually becoming mature, the government's measures are becoming more effective, and society is creating more favorable environments to help college students find employment. Therefore, objectively understanding one's true level and maintaining a good attitude are the guides for college students to apply for jobs."

Which is better and worse between junior college and undergraduate programs/comics by our reporter Cheng Juan/Ouyang Yutian

As a college student, I feel very sad for the undergraduates involved in this incident. This matter is worth pondering.

It is also possible that the 20 undergraduates believed that they were not suitable for that company, that they were overqualified and that the company was burying talents. It was not because they were incompetent, but the junior college student had correctly identified his own abilities. I figured out my form and found my position, so I didn’t get fired.

Nowadays, some college students have bad phenomena such as low quality, poor organizational discipline, lack of collective awareness, and lack of enthusiasm for work. But one cannot generalize, and this phenomenon does not only exist among undergraduates.

According to my observation, from the perspective of companies and employers, they have begun to get tired of and see clearly those so-called college undergraduates who only rely on diplomas, because undergraduates have a capital advantage, that is, diplomas. When looking for a job, They usually have high requirements for positions, salary and benefits, but lack the spirit of hard work and professionalism, and have poor social practice ability and work ability. To adapt to this society, one requires not only academic qualifications, but more importantly, professional knowledge.

Many junior college students have a sense of inferiority. They are often blinded and confused by certain phenomena brought about by social competition. They think that a college diploma is not enough, and they lose the courage to move forward. They dare not step into the class with high salary and benefits, and they appear to be passive in choosing a career.

From a practical point of view, the abilities of college students in all aspects are no worse than those of undergraduates. The gap in diplomas does not mean the gap in ability. When choosing a career, you should pay more attention to expressing your abilities, giving full play to your strengths, and cherishing employment. Opportunities, whether in school or in society, you should continue to study, enrich your knowledge and accomplishments at any time, and narrow the gap with people at undergraduate or higher levels.

As a junior college student, you should fully believe in yourself and discover yourself, so as to find a job suitable for you. You should no longer be blindfolded and burdened with heavy pressure. You should pay more attention to the accumulation of knowledge and respect dedication and dedication. Cultivation of pragmatic spirit and practical ability. There should also be objective and feasible requirements for salary, position, and benefits.

Some university undergraduates do not have a strong sense of self-competition and are self-deceived. They think that if they have a high undergraduate diploma, they feel It is easier to find a job, so I do not cherish the opportunity of employment. Compared with undergraduates and junior college students, undergraduates usually have a sense of superiority, but this will make them inert, relax their studies, and lower their requirements for themselves.

In fact, students who study in junior colleges are not all because of poor grades. They may study in junior colleges because of family reasons or poor performance in the college entrance examination. However, this does not mean that their learning ability is necessarily better than that of undergraduates. Difference. Many schools have higher academic requirements for undergraduates, but relatively less ability training. Judging from the employment ratio, junior college students have richer social practice experience than undergraduates, and these abilities are gradually accumulated and cultivated. . But this can be made up for. As long as undergraduates correct their study and work attitudes, they should be more competitive than junior college students.
