What are the specific reasons why highly educated and young people encounter obstacles in online job hunting?

Highly educated and young people face obstacles in online job hunting: A 58-year-old Tsinghua graduate cannot find a job worth more than 5,000 yuan. "Required to be under 65 years old" "Recruiting retirees for financial manager positions around 55 years old"... On the China Senior Talent Network, the recruitment age for each position has been relaxed to a space suitable for the elderly to choose.

The specific situation of high-educated young people encountering difficulties in online job hunting

As the employment of the elderly and other related topics frequently appear in hot searches, the job hunting needs of the young and elderly people are gradually being seen by the outside world. .

At present, most recruitment platforms have not yet opened a special area for the elderly. The elderly still use offline, friend introduction and other methods as the main channels in the process of job hunting.

In August last year, the China Senior Talent Network, which recruits senior citizens, was officially launched. On this platform, I started conversations with several elderly people who are looking for jobs. These elderly people are generally between 55 and 65 years old, and many of them have undergraduate or even graduate degrees. However, these highly educated elderly people have repeatedly encountered obstacles in the job search process, and even encountered situations where no company is interested in them.

Some elderly people said that their career choices are very limited, with only basic positions such as cleaning and security available. So besides basic jobs, what else can the elderly do when they are re-employed? The reasons why young people encounter difficulties in applying for jobs online

There are few companies recruiting the elderly and there are fewer suitable positions. This is one of the difficulties that the highly educated elderly people encounter when applying for jobs. Although job hunting is hindered, most elderly people do not show an eagerness. Different from the goal of young people seeking employment, the original intention of some elderly people to seek employment is to enrich their lives and achieve a complete transition from work to retirement.

Uncle Wang submitted his resume when the website was launched. The 58-year-old graduated from Tsinghua University and worked as a project manager in a foreign-funded company before retiring. "My family is more supportive of me finding a job. I am in good health and have the energy to work five days a week." Uncle Wang said that he is looking forward to finding a job in a management position, a consultant position, or a training instructor position. He is very interested in the industry and the company. There is no requirement for scale, but the expected salary is above 5,000 yuan.

Although he has the dual blessing of a high degree of education and work experience in a foreign company, Uncle Wang's "re-employment road" is not smooth. "There are few recruiting companies on the website, and there are even fewer companies that match my major." Uncle Wang has been looking for a job on the website since August last year and submitted his resume. In the past six months, almost no company has contacted him.

Aunt Zhu, 57 years old with a bachelor’s degree, is also in the process of looking for a job. Unlike Uncle Wang, she prefers simple, easy and less intensive jobs. "Waiter, matchmaker, I am willing to try all these positions." Aunt Zhu said. But like Uncle Wang, Aunt Zhu also failed to find a job.

On the China Senior Talent Network, based on job information, basic positions such as security, cleaning, parking lot administrators, and caregivers appear more frequently.
