The annual autumn recruitment has begun, and the fresh graduates of colleges and universities are actively involved in the hot job application. Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "Notice on Implementing the Employment and Entrepreneurship Promotion Plan for College Graduates" to make arrangements for further improving the employment and entrepreneurship of college graduates. "Post-90s" college students entered the job-hunting stage for the first time this year. What are the new features of their job-hunting concept and job-hunting skills? Our reporter conducted an investigation and interview on this.
■ Resumes are more personalized.
At the 2017 public welfare job fair for college graduates held in Nanjing a few days ago, some "post-95 s" wrote their online game achievements and experience in opening Taobao stores in their resumes, which were favored by employers and attracted public attention.
"I also have such examples around me." Zhao Dan, a senior student in the School of Business Administration of Hunan University, told this reporter, "Last time I went to an e-commerce platform for an interview, I saw a girl introduce herself as the owner of Taobao in her resume, listing the opening time, business operation and sales achievements. There is also a classmate who likes to play online games. When she applied for a game company, her resume incorporated her deep experience of online games. " Zhao Dan, who works as a student assistant in the school’s Admissions and Employment Guidance Office, said that students’ job resumes are now more personalized, and they will be tailored according to the characteristics and needs of employers, highlighting their hobbies and expertise.
Jiang Wenrui, a human resources expert and vice president of Jiangsu Black & Decker Human Resources Group, believes that fresh graduates can make their resumes more "outstanding" by highlighting their distinctive hobbies or practical experiences when applying for jobs. However, it should be noted that although resume production can jump out of the rigid mode of thousands of people, it can’t be too innovative, and it can’t blindly follow suit.
■ Wider choice of cities
"I thought that the employment situation this year was not very optimistic, and I was a little worried that I couldn’t find a job. But now I have received admission notices from several units and found that the job is not so difficult to find." Zhou Kehan, a 2013 undergraduate student at the School of Journalism and Communication of Wuhan University, told this reporter about his mental journey of job hunting. My hometown is Zhou Kehan, Hunan, and the target cities for finding jobs are Beijing, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, as well as Changsha, Wuhan and Nanjing. "In the past, I wanted to go to first-tier cities. Now more and more students have relaxed their choices. The cost of living in second-and third-tier cities is relatively low, and all aspects of development are actually good." Zhou Kehan said.
According to the "Report on the Employment Competitiveness of Freshmen in 2016" released by a mobile Internet recruitment platform, only 36% of the freshmen want to work in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which is significantly lower than 51% three years ago, while "new first-tier cities" such as Hangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu and Wuhan are attracting talents rapidly.
"Many students really like ‘ New first-tier cities ’ As far as I am concerned, I mainly consider the future development prospects of the city. " Zhao Dan said, "Although I am from the northeast, I would like to work in the south. For example, Changsha, studying here for several years, feels that the city is very dynamic and is a good employment choice. "
■ Entrepreneurship is popular.
With the upsurge of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation", entrepreneurship has become one of the choices for college graduates. In July this year, the big data report released by QQ browser showed that more than 15% of the post-95 generation wanted to start a business, and the Internet, high-tech, agricultural farming and so on became their interested entrepreneurial directions. However, our reporter interviewed several fresh graduates, all of whom said that there were no students around who started businesses directly without looking for a job, but some people would apply for startups.
"Entrepreneurship needs good opportunities, resources and teams. Generally speaking, there are very few undergraduates who start businesses directly after graduation, and there are relatively many master students and doctoral students. " Zhang Wei, associate professor of Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management, founding director and academic director of Tsinghua x-lab, bluntly told this reporter, "Nevertheless, if the innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities is carried out well, it will be of positive help to students in job hunting and employment."
Zhang Wei told reporters that Ali, ZTE and other big companies revealed that enterprises are very willing to recruit graduates who have received entrepreneurial training and tried to start businesses, and think that such talents are enterprising and innovative, and know how to work in teams.
