Why can't you find a job after graduate school?

Some time ago, I saw a report on the news that a graduate student majoring in philosophy who graduated from 985 university has been unable to find a job. Later, Taoist priests who applied for temples were also rejected. Netizens said that it is too difficult to find a job now, and even graduate students can't find a suitable job. This problem has existed for a long time, but it has been particularly prominent in the past two years. The comprehensive reasons are as follows:

First, the educational resources in China are unbalanced.

? Uneven distribution of higher education resources is a common problem in China. Some colleges and universities have excellent teachers, teaching facilities and scientific research platforms, and their students have a greater chance of finding a good job after graduation; On the contrary, graduate students in some relatively backward colleges and universities have too little connection between their knowledge and practical work application, so it is relatively difficult to find a job.

Some graduate students from top universities have been booked by excellent enterprises or institutions before graduation, and even got an offer at the job fair organized by the school, while graduate students from other ordinary universities need to spend more time and energy to find suitable job opportunities.

Secondly, the competition in the job market is fierce.

? With the rapid development of domestic economy in recent years, it is in a stable transition period, and the demand for talents and quality requirements have changed greatly. Therefore, more and more graduate students are squeezed into the general job market, which makes the already expanded job market for college graduates more competitive. Especially in the context of the epidemic, many industries and enterprises have been affected, and the development speed of enterprises has slowed down, which has led to a decrease in the demand of senior graduates and further increased the employment difficulty of graduates.

Many college students yearn for IT, finance and other high-paying industries with fierce competition. Enterprises need more experienced people when recruiting, and they can get started when they come. Just like this, it can reduce the training cost of enterprises and bring benefits to enterprises quickly. However, such a requirement will undoubtedly shut out graduate students who have no rich experience before, making it more difficult for them to find satisfactory jobs.

Third, personal quality is insufficient.

In addition to educational resources and employment market factors, the quality of graduate students also has a great impact on employment opportunities. If graduate students have great defects in academic ability, interpersonal communication and vocational skills, it will also increase the difficulty of finding a job.

Nowadays, many people take the postgraduate exam not because they are interested in their major, but just to avoid their jobs after graduation and want to stay in school for a few more years. There are not a few such people. Because of this mentality, it is difficult for these people to make extraordinary achievements in their academic fields, and it is also difficult for them to have their own working ability to impress job-seeking companies.

At the same time, many graduate students seldom participate in social activities and lack the skills to communicate with others. Without good communication and teamwork skills, it is easy to expose problems in the interview and be directly rejected by the employer.

Faced with the above problems, as college students who haven't graduated, we should make some preparations in advance for our career choice after graduation. Only in this way can we face the changes in the future workplace more calmly. Maybe we can do a few things first:

? 1. Clarify the employment direction and objectives. In the postgraduate stage, you should determine your career development goals and directions as soon as possible, and then study and practice in a planned way to improve your professional level and competitiveness.

2. Establish a wide range of interpersonal relationships. Graduate students should actively participate in various academic and social activities, expand their social circle and establish good interpersonal relationships, which play a great role in the employment process.

3. Improve the overall quality. In addition to professional skills, graduate students need to improve their comprehensive quality, including communication ability, organization and coordination ability, innovative thinking and practical ability.

? 4. Actively participate in the internship. In the postgraduate stage, you can learn about the workplace, accumulate work experience and improve employment competitiveness by participating in internships. At the same time, internship can also help graduate students determine their career development direction and goals.

5. Pay attention to professional image and self-packaging. Graduate students should pay attention to their professional image, including appearance, words and deeds, resume and interview. At the same time, we need to learn to package ourselves to meet the needs of enterprises.

Finally, a great man said, "The future is bright and the road is tortuous." The more difficult it is, the more you have to see yourself clearly, stick to your initial intention, and don't give up easily because of some public opinion.
