Is it difficult for college students to find jobs now?

The picture of the article comes from the movie "Du Lala's Promotion"

On September 6th, a report in Metropolitan Express shocked me: Kobayashi spent 1.8 million yuan to study abroad for six years, but only found a job with a basic salary of 2,000 yuan when he returned to China.

Xiao Lin is in a key middle school in Hangzhou, and his grades are average. It is no problem to be admitted to an ordinary university in China. But what parents consider is that studying abroad is better than going to ordinary universities in China.

Kobayashi's family is not rich, so his parents sold the house and raised 1.2 million yuan as Kobayashi's study abroad fund. Kobayashi chose Australian Finance, and it took him six years to get a postgraduate degree.

Kobayashi calculated that 1 year costs nearly 1 10,000 yuan, and the six-year study and life in Australia costs about 1.8 million yuan.

"As soon as I return home, I want to work and can't wait! I stayed in Australia for six years and spent six years on my parents' money, while my former classmates have been working for two or three years. I'm afraid I can't catch up with them. "

Kobayashi admits that when he returned to China at the end of 20 16, the anxiety of finding a job was ever-present.

When interviewed, the other party said rudely: "We have received a lot of resumes for studying abroad. Besides, what are your advantages? "

In another scene, the interviewer frowned: "Are you 26 years old and have no work experience?"

In another scene, the other party announced: "Our basic salary is not high, 2000 yuan, and the rest depends on performance commission."

1.82 thousand's basic salary to study abroad can't help but make people feel embarrassed. Is it really so difficult to find a job now?

My friend Miss A left her job in June, but she hasn't found a job for three months now, forcing her to move from Guangzhou to Shenzhen and go to Shenzhen for an interview the next day.

In the past three months, she said that she was either in an interview or on her way to an interview. Every day, the phone rings with HR who invited an interview, piles of resumes, confident conversations with HR again and again, and answering similar questions again and again. ...

The life of office workers is to be woken up by the alarm clock every day, wash and eat breakfast in a hurry, squeeze into the subway, walk into the reinforced concrete cubicle, tap the keyboard quickly and start the day's work.

Miss A's life is awakened by the anxiety of "not finding a job" every day. No matter how sleepy she is, as long as she thinks about her work and the balance of her bank card, she will jump out of bed like an electric shock.

The first thing after breakfast is to turn on the computer and browse the recruitment information. As long as it is relevant, I will start to vote, and I will vote for dozens of letters every day. Sometimes the update of recruitment information can't keep up with her delivery speed.

She spends every day in the cycle of anxiety-self-doubt-self-motivation-cheer-anxiety.

She sent me WeChat several times, and I really feel that I can't find a job. I deeply felt her inner powerlessness and despair. If I were you, I would be careful.

Miss a is not bad. Her executive ability and pressure resistance crush many peers, and she can also make a good PPT.

When the former company left, the supervisor took the initiative to give her a raise and kept her for many times. On the second day after leaving her job, Party A extended an olive branch to her.

After interviewing so many people, she also got some job opportunities, but she didn't find one that met her heart, either because she didn't like the job content, or because her salary was too low, or because the company atmosphere was poor.

She has always disdained to enter through the back door, and even began to fantasize that if a relative suddenly appeared at home and introduced her to a suitable job, even if the salary was not high, she could still do it steadily.

I once asked Miss A if your requirements were too high.

She said her request was four:

1, there is room for development.

2. Good atmosphere

3. Advertising, media and e-commerce industries

4. Weekend

Since I resigned, there must be some requirements for my new job. If you jump out of one pit and then jump into another, there is no point in quitting.

Miss A has one year's working experience, but it is still difficult to find a suitable job. It is not difficult to understand that Kobayashi is not competitive in the tide of job hunting except for a diploma.

I have always felt that finding a job is similar to finding someone. I don't necessarily like you if I like you. If you like it, you may not like him. Finding a job that is suitable for all aspects requires fate and luck.

Of course, if you are strong enough, fate and luck will come faster. Just like my other friend, his previous job was very successful, and he jumped ship some time ago, and his monthly salary doubled.

Why do some people find a job as simple as turning over a book, while others fall down here again and again?

Miss A and I also discussed this issue. She hit the nail on the head that core competitiveness determines the right to choose. Without core competitiveness, it can only be brushed off again and again.

That's true.

Kobayashi mentioned at the beginning, despite the glory of studying abroad, has only given her theoretical knowledge in books for six years.

For enterprises, it costs a lot of money to recruit from scratch, so how different is it from interns who graduated from ordinary undergraduate courses? Even if it is recruited, HR will worry about whether international students will be arrogant and difficult to manage.

It can be said that at present, in China, the undergraduate education of returnees is actually at a disadvantage compared with ordinary undergraduate education in China.

Bachelor degree, compared with domestic students, returnees lack preparation before work, including understanding of policies, accumulation of contacts and so on.

However, if you have a postgraduate degree or have work experience before returning to China, returnees will have an advantage over ordinary students in employment and salary.

Miss A has one year's working experience. When she applied for a position similar to her previous work experience, she got many interview opportunities. However, when she wanted to change her job, she repeatedly ran into a wall with her previous work experience.

After interviewing for so long, she also met her favorite company, but she didn't receive an offer. Miss A later concluded that her previous work experience was too complicated and she knew everything, but there were no actual cases and achievements to prove her ability.

It can be seen that the company attaches importance to personal work experience. Of course, in addition, a person's logical ability and problem-solving ability are also very important.

When writing this article, I specially chatted with Miss A about my job-hunting experience. The following is a summary.

1, resume should not be in black and white.

A beautiful resume may not be noticed, but 99% of your black and white forms will be submerged in the sea of resumes, and even the body can't be found.

When Miss A interviewed, she saw a black-and-white resume specially selected by HR and threw it away as waste paper.

A resume is like a person's appearance. No one will find your shining inner self through your sloppy appearance, and no one will see your work ability through your casual resume.

Therefore, it is much more useful to spend some time on your resume than to throw it in casually. Sharpening the knife will not mistake the woodcutter.

2. Don't submit more than one resume.

When submitting a resume, it is best to modify the resume content according to the position you are applying for. The work experience that best meets the job requirements is written at the front, so that HR can see at a glance.

Don't generalize your resume.

Before, a friend asked me for help in revising my resume. I found that they all had the same problem and a lot of empty talk.

When you write about your abilities and advantages, you'd better give examples to prove what you have done and what you have achieved.

For example, if you say that you are good at writing, you should write down how many original articles you have written, where you have published or reprinted, and how much you have read.

4. Resume should highlight the key points.

Determine the job you want, look at the requirements of the same position more, and sort out your school experience or internship experience according to those points.

Basic information as long as there is name, date of birth, telephone number, email address, residence, household registration, education, school, is enough. Pay more attention to experience and professional skills, preferably with works or cases.

By the way, you can get extra points for doing PPT well, because PPT tests logical thinking ability, aesthetics, and whether you have the ability to demonstrate. Leaders attach great importance to these abilities.

Therefore, it is also good to spend half the time fighting pesticides and learning PPT.

5. Your resume should be ready.

Many people think that the resume is clearly written, so HR should read it by itself.

But during the interview, HR will still ask you what's on your resume. You should know what's on your resume and prepare your speech in advance.

It's okay to exaggerate a little on the basis of truth, but bragging out of thin air will push you into a dead end. HR can tell at a glance that you are not lying.

It is difficult to find a job, but in fact, the most difficult thing is how to keep the initial intention and direction of finding a job and the courage to go forward in repeated blows.

Finally, I want to tell you that others can abandon you, throw your resume aside, and even despise and laugh at you. It doesn't matter, someone will really appreciate you, and you will find your place.
