What is the level of Dunhuang Research Institute?

First, the recruitment contradiction is quite acute.

Let's take a look at what Zhang, director of the Institute of Archaeology of Dunhuang Research Institute, said in an interview. He said: "This year's situation is more troublesome, and the local provincial hospitals have increased their establishment this year. The more people are recruited in places with good conditions in the mainland, the more difficult it is for us to recruit people. I signed up for a quota this year, which was a waste. Five or six people who signed up were absent from the exam, and none of them came. "

Many people are inevitably curious when they hear this: What kind of post is Zhang's post? Why doesn't anyone want to come? Let me tell you something.

Looking through official website of Dunhuang Research Institute, we can find two pieces of information related to recruitment. One is the Notice of Public Examination Recruitment of Professionals in Urgent Need of Interview issued on September 3, 2022 12. The attachment of this news contains the list of 12 people. All the candidates in this 12 are sculptures, which is consistent with the Announcement on Public Examination Recruitment of Professionals in Urgent Need and Shortage issued on August 10, 2022.

The other is the announcement that in 2022, the Institute of Archaeology openly recruited field archaeology and archaeological surveying and mapping contract staff, which was released on May 30, 2022.

In contrast, there were few announcers in the past, and the post requirements in the establishment were high; There are many people behind the announcement, which is not compiled and the post requirements are low. Director Zhang said in an interview that "the position where no one can be found" should be the position of "sculpture copying" recruited in the previous announcement. 12 who passed the preliminary examination should not have come to the interview.

What kind of position is this? Candidates are required to have a master's degree, graduate from a double-class construction university or eight art colleges, and major in art (sculpture direction). The given post grade is 12. As for the income, the feedback from insiders is about 3,000-4,000 yuan per month, and with various allowances, subsidies and other benefits, it is expected to exceed 7,000 yuan.

How demanding is this position? Let's just say that there are nearly 3,000 universities in China, and only 147 universities, accounting for about 5%, are among the top universities. In the 147 "double first-class" universities, the Central Academy of Fine Arts and China Academy of Art belong to the "Eight Great Academy of Fine Arts". In other words, only 153 graduate students who graduated from colleges and universities meet the requirements of applying for this position.

Not counting this, the professional requirement of this position is fine arts (sculpture direction). How unpopular is this major? The total number of graduate students in the Central Academy of Fine Arts (graduate one, graduate two and graduate three) is only 85. China Academy of Art Sculpture Department has only 12 teachers, while sichuan fine arts institute Sculpture Department has only 23 teachers. In other words, there are not many people who meet the requirements of this position nationwide.

How low is the salary of this position? It gives the technical level of 12. What is the concept of 12?

The highest professional technical level is 1, and the lowest is 13, where 1 to 4 is positive; 5 to 7 are subtropical high; Grade 8 to 10 is intermediate; The grades 1 1 to 13 are elementary. Compared with the scarcity of talents, this level is really not high. In addition, a monthly salary of 3000-7000 yuan may take an undergraduate course for five years, and students who graduate from top universities will not be very attractive.

What can I get from the same degree? Let alone developing in first-tier cities. Even if the graduates from second-tier cities, double-class, and eight major fine arts institutes take part in the work, I am afraid it will not be less than 7000. Dunhuang is not developed enough. How can we compete with more developed cities for the same salary?

What kind of treatment can I get in the same unit? In Dunhuang Research Institute, the monthly salary of office clerks during probation is 3,000 yuan, and the basic salary of lecturers during probation is 2,850 yuan. Compared with this, can graduate students from famous universities who are engaged in sculpture copying with a monthly salary of 3,000-4,000 yuan have a sense of professional honor?

What qualifications does equal treatment deserve? Open the recruitment software. In Jiuquan (Dunhuang is a county-level city managed by Jiuquan), there are many positions with a salary of about 7,000 yuan, including sales positions and technical positions. Some only require a college degree, and most require a bachelor degree.

People who want it are unwilling to give in; Those who want to come can't meet the requirements. How sharp is the contradiction between the recruiter and the applicant? You can't just draw cakes to recruit people, and you can't just work with love. Dunhuang Research Institute is a joint venture of National Cultural Heritage Administration and Gansu provincial governments. Its predecessor was the National Dunhuang Art Research Institute established by 1944. The Cultural Relics Bureau is a deputy ministerial unit, and the level of Dunhuang Research Institute is not low.

Lower the threshold and improve the treatment. I don't think this position will fail to recruit people. Director Zhang should not just complain about the poor attraction of Dunhuang, but really want to recruit talents to attract wisdom. It is better to make changes in the recruitment conditions in a down-to-earth manner.

Second, turn small problems into big problems.

The recruitment of Dunhuang Research Institute is by no means an isolated case, and various recruitment contradictions can be seen everywhere. The school recruits teachers, and a large number of famous students come in droves; The bank recruited tellers, and a large group of graduate students followed.

Employers set a high threshold, but they don't need deep professional skills in actual work; Employers pay little, far behind the self-pricing of candidates; Candidates use employers as a springboard, and it won't be long before they can climb higher. Is there a similar phenomenon? Are these workplace phenomena healthy?

In the era of planned economy, college graduates are assigned by package, and students do not need to find their own way, but have to report to the designated place. At that time, employment was "guaranteed" and "compulsory".

In today's society, the distribution of graduation packages (except special colleges and majors such as military schools) has long since ceased to exist, and employment has become a two-way choice. Employers should be down-to-earth and formulate recruitment policies that conform to market rules; Candidates should aim high and choose a career path that suits them.
