How do art students find jobs?

Under the situation that it is difficult for art students to find jobs, how to get better jobs has become the most concerned issue for art students. Director Lou Yan of the Career Guidance Center of Shandong University of Arts and Crafts said that art students usually have more part-time opportunities than basic subjects. In fact, they can make full use of the advantages of part-time jobs, cultivate their practical ability, understand the social demand for art students, and pave the way for employment in advance. In addition, art students should pay attention to keeping their usual homework or good works, which will also be of great help in finding a job.

Judging from the current situation, most art students enter enterprises and companies after graduation. For example, after graduating from design major, they usually work in design companies. In this regard, Director Lou said that graduates can start their own businesses in addition to working in enterprises, and the flexible and diverse characteristics of art majors make it easier to start their own businesses. It is understood that many art graduates of the school have registered and set up their own design studios, engaged in a series of businesses such as billboard design and advertising production.

In addition, at present, art training is relatively hot, and art students who can't find a job can consider taking classes in the training class. It is understood that some training courses can cost two or three thousand yuan a month. Art graduates can also change careers and engage in some jobs similar to or unrelated to their majors.

How difficult is it for art graduates to find jobs? When interviewing some previous graduates of Yunnan Art College yesterday, the reporter found that many graduates were very helpless about the employment environment: although they also wanted to find a job with a professional counterpart, they finally chose to stay in Kunming or give up their major to enter a public institution for many reasons such as income, welfare and social status. After the interview, the reporter summed up the three most prominent "difficulties" in the employment of art graduates.

Difficulty 1: It is difficult for Huizhou's major to have a bright future.

Xiao Peng gave up the opportunity to go back to his hometown in Simao after graduating from Yunnan Art College last year and decided to stay in Kunming. "After studying hard for so many years, I really don't want to give up my favorite major." She sighed and told reporters that although working in Simao may be much more comfortable, the majors she studied can only find room to play in big cities. In cities and counties, because of the lack of learning opportunities and artistic environment, "even if the majors are progressive, it is difficult to maintain the current level."

Difficulty 2: There is a big gap between income and social status.

At the first meeting of supply and demand of art graduates in Yunnan Province in March this year, the positions provided by government agencies and institutions became the "hot items" for many art students, but the recruitment desks of some private performance companies were deserted. Art college graduates are also troubled by the realistic livelihood. Many art students say that civil servants and teachers with stable income and high social status are their first choice, and some graduates disdain ordinary jobs.

"A cultural communication company recruitment planning, probation for half a year. The monthly basic salary is only 500 yuan, and the maximum floating allowance is only 300 yuan. I said no without thinking. " Zhu Xiao, who now works in a provincial organization, explained that the income of artistic talents is generally high, and students' expectations for income are correspondingly raised. In addition, engaging in art study requires expensive investment, and students and parents naturally expect higher returns.

Difficulty 3: professional heating and cooling. Su Changqing, director of the Student Affairs Office of Yunnan Arts University, said that the employment situation of students with different majors in the same school is very different. The most sought-after are students majoring in dance performance, broadcast hosting, film and television performance, etc. "In the first half of graduation, it was basically booked by various units." It is difficult for graduates majoring in "historical theory" to find jobs. In addition, because of the narrow employment scope, it is not difficult for students majoring in music performance to find jobs. In order to find a job, many "unpopular" graduates have to change their job-hunting direction. A girl who graduated from drama, film and television literature last year told reporters that all the students in her class 18 have changed careers now for the simple reason that "survival comes first".

Special job fair: paving the way for the employment of artistic talents

In view of the employment difficulties of art graduates, Gui, director of the Student Affairs Office of the Provincial Education Department, said that apart from the mentality of graduates and the working environment and treatment provided by employers, the education authorities and schools will build platforms for both parties through various channels.

65438 Yunnan Art College will hold the "Yunnan Art College Graduates' Supply and Demand Meeting" on June 7th next year, which is the only special job fair directly arranged by the Provincial Department of Education this year. Gui said that with the achievements of our province in building a major ethnic and cultural province, the demand for artistic talents has also increased year by year. The Provincial Department of Education is very concerned about art graduates, a special student group. In view of their ability to display their talents on the spot, the Provincial Department of Education has jointly held a special job fair with Yunnan Art College, and expanded their influence through the news media. Employers inside and outside the province will be widely invited to select talents.

When it comes to employment difficulties, he believes that on the one hand, graduates should have a correct attitude and establish the concept that college students are ordinary workers; On the other hand, all employers should also be people-oriented and create a good platform for graduates in terms of work treatment, social security, working environment and conditions, so that art graduates can "recruit, use, do well and stay".
