Recently, Zhang Xuefeng stood on the cusp of the storm because of his remarks about the graduates. He openly stated in a program that his company does not recruit fresh graduates, which has aroused widespread concern and heated discussions in the society. This incident not only touched the sensitive nerves of the job market, but also revealed the employment dilemma faced by fresh graduates and the complex attitude of society towards them.
Zhang Xuefeng, as a well-known education consulting expert, has always been known for his unique insights and sharp words. He has provided advice to parents and students on many occasions on college entrance examination voluntary filling and career planning, and is deeply trusted and sought after by some people. However, this time his remarks caused quite a bit of controversy. In the show, Zhang Xuefeng admitted that his company has an "iron law" when recruiting: not recruiting fresh graduates. He explained that this is because fresh graduates often lack work experience and are not stable enough, and it is easy to look at the mountain high. And his company offers top salaries and benefits in the industry, so he wants the employees he hires to cherish the job and not jump ship easily.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately sparked a heated discussion among netizens. Some people think that Zhang Xuefeng is telling the truth, and fresh graduates do have the problem of unstable mentality and low eyesight;However, it was also pointed out that the non-recruitment of fresh graduates was a discriminatory act that deprived them of equal employment opportunities. What's more, the lack of work experience is a characteristic of fresh graduates, not the original sin.
In fact, the root cause of Zhang Xuefeng's remarks causing so much controversy is that it touches on a pain point in the current job market: it is difficult for fresh graduates to find employment. In a competitive job market, fresh graduates are often treated unfairly because of their "inexperienced" label. In order to reduce training costs and pursue short-term benefits, some companies would rather recruit employees with work experience than give fresh graduates a chance. However, we must recognize that fresh graduates are the future and hope of society. Although they lack work experience, they have a lot of enthusiasm and unlimited potential. Businesses should give them more attention and opportunities, rather than blindly excluding and discriminating.
Returning to the Zhang Xuefeng incident, we can't help but ask: why is a company that provides education consulting for a living so unfriendly to graduates when recruiting?Is there some kind of contradiction or conflict of interest behind this?Some analysts believe that Zhang Xuefeng's remarks actually reflect his utilitarian attitude towards education. When he provides counseling, he is often employment-oriented, emphasizing that factors such as future employment prospects and public welfare should be considered when choosing a major. This utilitarian educational concept is further reflected in his company's recruitment policy: do not recruit fresh graduates, because they need to spend more time and cost to train.
However, is this utilitarian concept of education and recruitment policy really desirable?The answer is clearly no. Education is not just about employment, it's about developing well-rounded people. Enterprises should assume their social responsibilities and provide more employment opportunities and training resources for fresh graduates, so as to help them grow into the pillars of society.
Although Zhang Xuefeng's remarks have sparked controversy, they also provide us with an opportunity to reflect. We should re-examine the status and treatment of fresh graduates in the job market, strive to eliminate employment discrimination, and create a fair and just employment environment for them. At the same time, we should also reflect on the purpose and value of education, abandon the utilitarian concept of education, and return to the essence and original intention of education.
In short, behind the "grievances and hatreds" between Zhang Xuefeng and fresh graduates, it reflects the dilemma of the current job market and the complex attitude of society towards fresh graduates. We should draw lessons from this and strive to improve and perfect relevant systems and policies to create a better employment environment and development space for fresh graduates.
